Note from the editor: I have included interviews under exclusive if they are private or one-on-one or in person interviews. These were not part of press conference calls or group discussions. These are exclusives that are currently published here at SciFi Vision or as part of one of SciFi Vision's own podcasts, or in some early cases at Media Blvd. Magazine.
I also have chosen to include some interviews from press events that are only open to a select few and not the general press or public, such as convention press rooms and everything from the Syfy Digital Press Tours, set tours, etc. as although they are not entirely exclusive, they do contain exclusive photos and sometimes videos that no other site has (I have started to mark some of these as "Spotlight" as opposed to "Exclusive, but they still remain in this category"), or may be about my own experiences only at the events. Note that in a few specific cases, the set tours were exclusive and specifically for SciFi Vision.

Exclusive: Simon Barry Talks Time Travel & Season 3 of Continuum
Exclusive Interview with Simon Barry for Continuum
Interview by Jamie Ruby
Written by Jamie Ruby
The hit series Continuum returns Friday to Syfy. The series focuses on Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols), a detective of 2077, who was inadvertently brought back to 2012 with a group of terrorists who call themselves Liber8, and has been trying to return to her own time and family.
At the end of last season, Alec Sadler (Erik Knudsen) was devastated by the death of his girlfriend Emily (Magda Apanowicz), and rather than let Kiera return to her own time (and thus assumingly preventing it from ever happening anyway), Alec grabs the time travel device and travels back in time himself to alter his future. As with time travel so far on Continuum, that could very well screw things up from the way they were meant to be, and it's up to Kiera to stop him and fix whatever problems he may create.
Creator and executive producer of Continuum, Simon Barry, recently sat down with Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision for an exclusive interview to talk about season three.

Exclusive: Neil Napier Shakes Things Up on Helix
Exclusive Interview with Neil Napier for Helix on March 27, 2013
Interview by Jamie Ruby
Written by Jamie Ruby
Neil Napier stars as Peter Farragut in the new Syfy series Helix, which just aired it's season finale. Peter is a very integral part of the plot of the series. At the beginning of the season, Peter was the first living person found infected by the Narvik virus at the Artic Biosystems research facility. It was discovered that he was infected with strain B, which rather than killing him, altered him so he became what they call on the show a vector, and in his case the king of the vectors. Peter is also the brother of Alan (Billy Campbell), a scientist at the CDC who was called in to help try to stop the outbreak. And with Alan came Julia (Kyra Zagorsky), Alan's ex-wife who also had an affair with Peter. And as the way good stories often go, that isn't even the half of it.

Interview by Jamie Ruby
Written by Jamie Ruby
Sergio Balleseros, played by Mark Ghanimé, is one of the most interesting characters on Syfy's Helix. Throughout the season it has been difficult to ascertain where his loyalties truly lie (other than to himself). The season finale, which aired tonight, continued in that vein.
Ghanimé talked one on one with Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision earlier in the week about the season finale and other key moments of the series for his character.

Tonight Syfy airs the first season finale of Helix. In the show, Kyra Zagorksy stars as Julia Walker, a cellular biologist who accompanies her ex-husband, Alan Farragut (Billy Campbell), to the Arctic Biosystems research facility after a deadly virus has been released, infecting his brother Peter (Neil Napier), who she previously had an affair with.

Syfy Digital Press Tour 2013 - Helix Set Part 2 + Exclusive Photos
Last October the digital press visited the set of Helix as part of the the Syfy Digital Press Tour. Part of the photos had been embargoed, but as such have now been released in time for the season finale.The third Helix set location (see parts 1 & 2) was actually a real life research facility. We started off down to the underground base where the door to the facility was surrounded by fake snow. Director/executive producer Brad Turner picked up the cord to demonstrate how the characters hold on to it to move around outside.
Exclusive: Anna Silk - Bo is Perfectly Imperfect
Exclusive Interview with Anna Silk for Lost Girl
Interview by Jamie Ruby
Written by Jamie Ruby
Anna Silk stars as the succubus Bo in the popular series Lost Girl, which airs Mondays on Syfy. The actress recently sat down with Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision for an exclusive interview.
The fourth season of Lost Girl starts out without its lead actress, because Bo is missing, but the timing couldn't have worked out better. "I was pregnant at the very end of season three, so I was really super-newly-pregnant in the finale. I told them about my pregnancy shortly after we wrapped, and it was just luck that they happened to make me disappear at the end of season three. Everyone went in separate directions at the end of season three but specifically for Bo, I went up in the black smoke and all that stuff, so that worked out really well for them in terms of reintroducing season four without me available.

Exclusive: Being Human - Sam Witwer on the Evolution of Aidan
Exclusive Interview with Sam Witwer for Being Human
Interview by Jamie Ruby
Written by Jamie Ruby
Being Human premiered its fourth season last month on Syfy. Star Sam Witwer, who plays vampire Aidan, recently sat down with Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision for an exclusive interview.
This season many of the issues that were not resolved in the first three seasons are going to come back. One of the big issues for Witwer's character is dealing with the idea of children. "The thing we introduced with the Bernie character (Jason Spevack) in season one, the whole sort of reproductive crisis that Aidan has, this idea that being human is wanting some sort of legacy, that manifests differently in different people. For some people, it represents a family that will carry on your tradition, or your memory, or whatever, past your own mortality, and that is something that Aidan has been robbed of over and over again.
"We didn't get to explore this as much as we would have like to, but I hope [the audience] got the feeling that the whole issue about his son has been something that has troubled and plagued him for his entire life.

Interview by Jamie Ruby
Written by Jamie Ruby
Last month, Syfy premiered one of its newest series, Helix, and they received a massive reaction, bringing in exceptionally high ratings for the network. The show follows a team of scientists from the CDC, led by Dr. Alan Farragut (Billy Campbell), who are brought to the Arctic Biosystems research facility to investigate a possible virus outbreak.
The creator of the mysterious new sci-fi thriller, Cameron Porsandeh, recently sat down with Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision for an exclusive interview to talk about his series.
Porsandeh talked about how his journey to creating the series started. "I had an idea for a script and I pitched it to my agent, which was an interesting thing, because they liked the idea, and they said, "This is going to be a tricky sell; if you feel confident you should go ahead and do it." So it didn't go out with a pitch; I wrote it on spec, completely on spec. And I was really excited about it when I was done.
