When last we left my Eddie McClintock interview, fans were left hanging as to whether the show would return for a fifth season. UPDATE: Deadline is reporting that “Warehouse 13″ has been renewed for a six-episode final season that won’t air until 2014. Sigh. (Quick rant: I guess I could never be a programming executive … Continue Reading →
I’d heard through the entertainment writer grapevine that “Warehouse 13″ star Eddie McClintock is a great interview — charming, gregarious, funny and open. He was definitely all those things during my interview ahead of his appearance at Motor City Comic Con this weekend, where he’ll be appearing with co-star Aaron Ashmore. He went above and … Continue Reading →
For those of you who think you can just turn the TV off after May season finales on the networks, well, you should know better by now. Cable’s the place to be. We’ve got new episodes of “Warehouse 13″ and “Defiance” airing on Syfy, for one thing. “Doctor Who” is on BBC America (though these … Continue Reading →
Oh, “Warehouse 13,” how I’ve missed you. Teasing us by filming extra episodes for season four and then putting a huge gap in the middle is just cruel, Syfy. But that’s been your M.O. for years, so it’s not totally unexpected. But at last the long wait is over with tonight’s half-season premiere, and it’s … Continue Reading →
It’s a good week to be a geek! Trekkies and Trekkers get to enjoy it first. The new “Star Trek” video game, featuring the voices of the new movie cast, came out Tuesday. It may be better known for the fun ad featuring William Shatner, the original Capt. Kirk, and the Gorn he fought in … Continue Reading →
In the latest bit of cross-platform synergy (ooh, how’s that for buzzwords?), Syfy will debut the new series “Defiance” tonight. A couple weeks ago, “Defiance” the video game went on sale. It’s an MMO, and events in one will affect the other, or so they say. I didn’t get a preview copy of the game, … Continue Reading →
Between filming there and importing shows from there, Canada seems the place to be these days for sci-fi television. First, Syfy brought over the camptastic “Lost Girl.” This year, they snagged “Continuum,” which has its season finale on the network tonight and will be released on DVD and Blu-ray March 26. It has been renewed … Continue Reading →
Just saw a mixed bag of fall pilot and cancellation news of interest to Geek Watch readers: First, the good. The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline Hollywood report that the CW has ordered a pilot for Greg Berlanti’s reboot of “The Tomorrow People.” I wrote about the possibility earlier, and I’m pretty excited. I loved watching … Continue Reading →
I’m a sucker for ghost-hunting shows, so when I got my screener for “Ghost Mine,” I had to watch it despite what I thought could be another run-of-the-mill entry in the genre. It premieres at 10 tonight on Syfy after the mid-season premiere of “Ghost Hunters.” And while it certainly doesn’t take paranormal investigation to … Continue Reading →
This is a big premiere month for Syfy. We had “Merlin” on Jan. 4, and this week has a bunch more, including the season premiere of “Face-Off” on Tuesday and the series premiere of “Ghost Mine” paired with the winter season premiere of “Ghost Hunters” (I miss Grant). Tonight has three premieres: new “Continuum” and … Continue Reading →
