WAREHOUSE 13 - TV GUIDE: Keck's Exclusives First Look: Star Trek's Kate Mulgrew Joins Warehouse 13


Aug 1, 2011
by William Keck



On August 29, former Star Trek: Voyager skipper Kate Mulgrew joins the cast of Syfy's Warehouse 13 in a four-episode arc as Jane, a character who will prove to have a profound impact on the Warehouse — and one of its occupants with whom she shares a past.

"She is a Regent, a very important Regent," says series creator Jack Kenny. "Her first episode ("The 40th Floor"), will make her relationship to the Warehouse and everyone in it vital. And for the next three episodes that Kate is in (9/12's "Shadows," 9/26's "Emily Lake" and the 10/3 season ender titled "Stand"), we'll learn a lot more about how the Regents are chosen, how they affect the Warehouse, and in particular how Jane will have a very strong impact on Pete (Eddie McClintock) and Myka (Joanne Kelly)."

After Kate wrapped production in Toronto, I chatted up Star Trek's former Captain Janeway from her New York home about what we can expect from her latest Jane...


... TV Guide Magazine: Jack Kenny tells me your character is pivotal to not only the season-ending cliffhanger, but to the entire season arc. And he's hoping to have you back next year.

Mulgrew: "Jack is probably the best show runner I've ever worked with. Full of life and inherently naughty. His Irish naughtiness sparks my Irish naughtiness. When you come away from an experience really connecting with the people involved, it says something about its value. I loved them all. Eddie, Jo, Saul (Rubinek, who plays Artie) and I had dinner at least two or three times. I left feeling exceedingly happy..."

TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY - TV GUIDE: Ask Matt: August 1, 2011

Ask Matt: Breaking Bad, Torchwood, Ringer, Glee and More!

... Question: I was wondering what you thought of the new season of Torchwood. I've actually been very disappointed. I knew it would be hard to top the brilliance of Children of Earth, but so far, Miracle Day doesn't even come close. Although the charming Jack and the kickass Gwen are still awesome, I can't stand any of the other characters. They are all tedious and/or annoying. And where is the witty dialogue from previous seasons of Torchwood? Anyway, since you are able to see future episodes before the general public, I'd like to ask you: Does it get better? — Camille


Matt Roush: I've only seen through this upcoming Friday's fifth episode, which builds to an awfully grim (though for me, not terribly surprising) reveal, and I'm afraid at this point I can't disagree with your assessment. The season's fantastic premise — a world in which no one can die, except the immortal Capt. Jack — still strikes me as an audacious one, but they haven't made the most of it. Seems like they're telling more than showing when it comes to the mass hysteria in the world at large, and as creepy as his performance is, Bill Pullman's serial killer-turned-messiah doesn't make a lot of sense. It's taking too long for the "big bad" behind it all to reveal itself, because I can't believe Torchwood is really going up against evil pharmaceuticals in a health-care scheme. (This Friday's reveal indicates something much larger and uglier is afoot.) Completely agree that the American counterparts are either bland (Esther) or irritating (Rex), and I'm not sure what to make of Lauren Ambrose's giddy Jilly. But we're only halfway through the story, so I'm not giving up hope altogether yet. It does seem clear, though, that doubling the length of the incredible Children of Earth may not have been the best idea.

ZEN - MASTERPIECE MYSTERY - TV GUIDE: Roush Review: Weekend Picks Sunday, July 17, 2011

Jul 15, 2011
by Matt Roush

... Here are some more highlights of another busy summer weekend:


Zen (Sunday, 9/8c, PBS; check local tvguide.com listings)

Zen isn't a state of mind. In the corrupt though undeniably stylish whirl of Rome, detective Aurelio Zen (a droll, suave Rufus Sewell) may be the last hope for truth. In this clever series of politically and sexually charged Masterpiece Mystery! movies based on books by Michael Dibdin, and beautifully filmed on location, lone wolf Zen finds his reputation for integrity challenged on all sides. Pressured by government justice officials to work sensitive cases, often at cross-purposes with his own cantankerous police boss, Zen walks a precarious tightrope. Thankfully, he finds romantic refuge with an alluring new office worker (Caterina Murino, whose authentic Italian dialect makes all the British accents around her all the more jarring). But even that affair must be kept secret. Zen is seductive fun.

TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY - TV Guide: Roush Review: Weekend Picks Friday, July 15, 2011

Jul 15, 2011
by Matt Roush

... Here are some more highlights of another busy summer weekend:

Torchwood: Miracle Day (Friday, 10/9c, Starz)

I was away when this provocative sci-fi thriller premiered last week, so here are a few excerpts from my magazine review:

While HBO's hit True Blood feeds our fascination with the undead, the 10-part Torchwood: Miracle Day is all about the undying, or "the death of death." It's an audacious sci-fi premise: What happens when people everywhere suddenly stop dying, even when their time is up? A miracle to be sure, but the economic, ecological and medical implications are catastrophic. Re-enter the remnants of Torchwood, the crack alien-fighting unit that's all too acquainted with mortality.

The only surviving members — dashing Capt. Jack Harkness (John Barrowman), who in a neat twist finds his immortality reversed, and scrappy earth-mother Gwen (Eve Myles) — are reunited to battle a global conspiracy, recruited by a mortally injured yet undying CIA agent (a tiresomely bullheaded Mekhi Phifer) who pledges to get to the bottom of this mystery if it kills him. Because it can't.

Torchwood raised its game when it evolved to a miniseries format in 2009's grippingly horrific Children of Earth, but Miracle Day is double the length, which in the early chapters leads to some ponderous, if topical, mumbo-jumbo about universal health care and sinister Big Pharmaceuticals. Our heroes' new companions may be less than electrifying, but there's plenty of action to compensate — and, as always, sex (though Capt. Jack now asks about protection) — and a chilling adversary in Oswald Danes (Bill Pullman), a psycho killer who survives execution and becomes a perverse cult hero in the media.

I'm impatiently dying to see what dark and freaky places Torchwood will take us to before it's over...
