In the newest episode of Evil, which premieres today on Paramount+, while Kristen (Katja Herbers) and the others deal with the looming hurricane, Sheryl (Christine Lahti) has her own problems to deal with as she goes to DF and continues on her quest to try to take down Leland (Michael Emerson) even as she fears what he will do to her. It all ends with a shock no one saw coming.

When Lahti recently spoke with SciFi Vision, she talked about how Sheryl’s lust for power became her character’s downfall. “I think that her quest for power was rabid in a way,” the actress told the site. “It was her need for power, her need to to dominate, after feeling so subjected and so like, squished by men for so long. I think it just turned her. It’s like, power at any cost.

“Then, once she saw the ramifications, like [how] Leland's trying to kill her granddaughter, that was the the bridge that was too far to cross, and that turned things around for her.”

On the newest episode of Evil, which premieres today on Paramount+, when Kristen (Katja Herbers) is horrified by her new neighbor, David (Mike Colter), Ben (Aasif Mandvi), and Sister Andrea (Andrea Martin) come over. However, that’s not all, as there’s a bad hurricane on the horizon, which Sister Andrea thinks is more than just the weather. Meanwhile, Sheryl (Christine Lahti) and Leland (Michael Emerson)’s war comes to a shocking end.

Sister Andrea is the one person besides David who can see demons on the series, but the actress thinks that it’s likely they are just the only ones we know of. “I don't think this is the first time that people of the cloth, religious people, can see things,” she explained to SciFi Vision during a recent interview. “It's just other people don't believe that they can.”

Since Sister Andrea can see the demons, she’s often the one battling them physically, and generally in comedic ways, bashing them with shovels and things, which she has enjoyed. “There was something satisfying about it, I have to say,” said Martin. “Also, it made me feel kind of like [I had] a superpower, like a Marvel figure, or swashbuckling or something, that I felt like I was on some kind of adventure doing it.”

On the newest episode of Evil, premiering today on Paramount+, there’s a hurricane coming, but is it more than just the weather causing it? As Kristen (Katja Herbers) and her daughters prepare, they are joined by David (Mike Colter), Ben (Aasif Mandvi), and Sister Andrea (Andrea Martin). However, that isn’t the only problem when Kristen discovers she has to be worried about her new neighbor. Meanwhile, Sheryl (Christine Lahti) continues on her quest to destroy Leland (Michael Emerson) and is joined by Dr. Boggs (Kurt Fuller) as they wait out the storm together, but are visited by someone, which is just the start of the shocking conclusion to the war between Sheryl and Leland.

During the episode, at the request of Kristen, Dr. Boggs visits Sheryl at DF, and is witness to a man who appears as a demon, but he once again seems to think it could all be in in their heads. According to Fuller, who recently spoke with SciFi Vision, it’s important that what really happens often remains ambiguous. “Once you start reaching conclusions, the show is over,” explained the actor to the site. “…You’ve got to keep the mystery going. You've got to keep the open ended questions going.”

***The following contains spoilers for the fourth season premiere***

Paul Zbyszewski (Lost, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Helstrom) joined Snowpiercer as showrunner in 2022 and has guided the fourth and final season through a convoluted and dramatic path to our TV screens. It’s been two years since Snowpiercer and Big Alice parted ways, and in that time Zbyszewski produced the season, suffered TNT’s cancellation of the show, weathered the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, and finally saw Snowpiercer picked up by AMC. Melanie Cavill couldn’t do better!

When SciFi Vision spoke with Zbyszewski, the first thing we asked is how he feels about fans finally seeing the final season.

“Incredibly grateful and satisfied. Just very grateful to AMC,” he said, “for coming along and rescuing not just season four, but the entire series. There are three terrific seasons before season four ever starts and everyone should go back and watch that, because Graham [Manson] and Aubrey [Nealon] did some great work. I'm just very grateful that things turned out the way they did.”

***The following contains spoilers for episode five***

Tonight’s new episode of Orphan Black, “Do I Know You,” finally sheds some light on why Kira (Keeley Hawes) created the printouts, with flashbacks of her time with Eleanor Miller, who would later become her wife and mother to their son. After some devastating news that Eleanor has developed early onset Alzheimer’s, Kira starts work on research for duplicating neurons.  When the transplant is unsuccessful and Eleanor passes, Kira goes to Paul Darros (James Hiroyuki Liao) and agrees to create a bio-printed human as a way to bring back her beloved.

Rya Kihlstedt, who plays the elder version of Eleanor recently spoke with SciFi Vision about joining the cast of the series. While the actress did play in a way a different version of the same character as both Krysten Ritter and Amanda Fix, since she came into the middle of the season, she more had to create her own version of the character. “As far as Amanda and Krysten, really, we talked about it, and mostly I just watched them,” the actress explained to the site. “They were already in and working. So, in some ways, it was my job to pick up what they did, what they had started, and then figuring out how to kind of have it feel subtle and…just enough that even if people weren't conscious [of it], it drew a line.”

Christina Chong, who you may know as series regular La'an Noonien-Singh from the Paramount streaming series, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, lends her voice acting talents to a different kind of sci-fi project, Audible Original, Impact Winter.

Chong, who recently spoke with SciFi Vision, joins Impact Winter for Season three playing Kexian, a vampire who is part of the high council family. She describes her character as an explorer who tends to leave for long periods of time on adventures. When Kexian is first introduced in the series she has just returned home from a personally traumatic adventure. Since she has been away for such a long amount of time, she comes across as an outsider. Kexian is starting to break from her family and seems to be hiding something. Kexian is mysterious but as season three progresses, she reveals something which helps to drive the rest of the season and has potential in carrying over to a season four.
