SciFi Vision - Where Fiction and Reality Meet

Eureka 5.9 Review: "Smarter Carter"

By John Keegan and Gregg Wright

eurekasigniconCome to think of it, I'm surprised that it's taken "Eureka" this long to do an episode like this. Carter's role in the show has always been that of the average joe; the guy that the audience can most readily relate to. So considering the show's usual subject matter, it's only natural to imagine a scenario in which Carter's intelligence is artificially boosted. I don't know why I never thought of the idea before, because it's an old staple of the genre, but it makes perfect sense for "Eureka". And the timing couldn't really be better.

Falling Skies 2.2 Review: "Shall We Gather at the River"

By John Keegan and Henry Tran
Falling-Skies-iconI think it's unfortunate that "Shall We Gather at The River" aired so close to the season premiere. Qualitative comparisons inevitably crop up, and they come with immediate judgment since the episodes are clumped so closely together. I thought this was the stronger of the two episodes because there was a singular purpose and drive to the plot within the episode.

Falling Skies 2.1 Review: "Worlds Apart"

By John Keegan and Henry Tran
Falling-Skies-iconThe season premiere of "Falling Skies" split off into two storylines in the wake of Tom Mason's decision to join Karen on one of the alien ships at the end of last season. I think it's a curious decision, albeit a necessary one, to set up what is to come for the members of the 2nd Massachusetts army. We catch up with the ragtag bunch of survivors three months after Tom went on that ship, and instead of staying at a home base like the school last season, the army keeps themselves mobile.

Burn Notice 6.1 Review: "Scorched Earth"

By John Keegan and Edmund Boys

burn_notice_icon“Burn Notice” has returned and, right from the opening, things have changed. Fiona is no longer Michael's ex (at least one season too late). Jesse is an official member of Team Westen (still haven't figured out his role in the team, but now he does have a place in the credits). But, after evolving into sometime participant and full-time conscience, Maddy is still being dissed as the option to go to only “if you're desperate.” Why do I highlight these changes? Because after that, everything was pretty much the same.

Eric McCormack Stars in TNT's "Perception," Starting 7/9

By Jamie Ruby

Eric McCormackNext month, TNT will be premiering its new series Perception. The show stars Eric McCormack as Dr. Daniel Pierce. Although a paranoid schizophrenic, Pierce works as a professor of neuroscience until he is recruited by the FBI to help solve cases using his unique perspective. Even though sometimes delusional, Pierce is able to see patterns and make connections that others miss. This brilliance of course is also his curse as he frequently hallucinates, but he considers some of his hallucinations a gift.

Many fans will know McCormack as Will Truman on Will & Grace or more recently from his work on The New Adventures of Old Christine. Beside his new series, Eric will also be starring in the film Barricade, due out this fall.

I recently got a chance to talk to McCormack about his work on Perception during a conference call with the digital media.

Patty Duke Guest Stars on "Drop Dead Diva"

By Jamie Ruby

Patty DukeThe comedic drama Drop Dead Diva centers around a wannabe model who died in an accident and woke up in the body of a plus-size attorney named Jane (Brook Elliott).

Recently the legendary Patty Duke guest starred on the series as Rita O'Riley, a floor-greeter at the store OneStop. She was fired after she tackled and stopped a shoplifter in the store. Things are not what they seem, however, when they realize that Rita has taken on the personality of her deceased sister.

Patty Duke is an accomplished actress, known for her work in projects such as The Miracle Worker, The Patty Duke Show, and Valley of the Dolls. She will also appear in the upcoming film Amazing Love, alongside her son, Sean Astin.

I recently was lucky enough to take part in a conference call with Ms. Duke, and I was able to ask her quite a few questions.

Elijah Wood Returns to "Wilfred" Tonight on FX

By Jamie Ruby 

Elijah WoodWilfred returns to FX tonight with a special preview episode of the series, "Progress." Wilfred, which was adapted for FX by David Zuckerman, centers around the character of Ryan, played by Elijah Wood. On the verge of attempted suicide, Ryan struggles to find happiness in his life, until he meets "Wilfred." Everyone sees Wilfred (Jason Gann) as a dog; however, Ryan sees him as a man in a dog suit. Wilfred is actually Ryan's alter-ego and way of coping to "break out of his shell."

Most fans will know Wood from his role of Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings trilogy or as Mumble in Happy Feet, but the actor has a long list of credits to his name. Wood will also be reprising the role of Frodo in the upcoming film The Hobbit.

I recently got a chance to talk to Wood in an interview with the media.
