Check out the new trailer (which also pimps its sister show, “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”), then let me know what you think. I’ve seen the first episode – more details on that coming soon – and I liked it but wasn’t in love with it. Will the illustrious Ms. Dushku be able to live up to the show’s premise and produce a different performance for each new personality she’s imprinted with? I’m in “wait and see” mode, personally, but it’s Joss Whedon, so I’m hopeful.

Get those cosmos ready, girls, because there’s a sequel coming your way!
I can exclusively reveal that all four stars—Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall and Kristin Davis—and writer-director Michael Patrick King have now signed their deals for another round of Carrie Bradshaw & Co.
“Everything was finalized yesterday afternoon,” a source reports.
Until now, everyone had agreed to do a sequel, but there were no contracts signed with New Line, the studio behind the megahit.
As it is, King has yet to write a script, but shooting will reportedly begin this summer with a release date sometime in summer 2010.
In the interests of full disclosure, I watched the show (with my wife, have to mention that) while it was on HBO and actually saw the movie in the theater (which is a big deal for me). That said, I’m sure she’ll be happy to hear this news. Me, not so much.
According to Variety, the ratings for TNT’s new show, “Trust Me,” haven’t been all that good.
After enjoying a string of successful series launches, TNT is struggling with its latest entry, ad agency drama “Trust Me.”
The show, which stars Eric McCormack and Tom Cavanagh, scored just 1.9 million viewers in the 10 p.m. slot Monday, losing about 65% of the lead-in aud supplied by “The Closer.” The performance also represented a significant retreat from the show’s Jan. 26 premiere, which drew 3.4 million viewers.
Reviews for “Trust Me” have been mixed, with the New York Post perhaps summing up crix’ reception best: “The series isn’t bad. It just isn’t all that good.”
I haven’t watched the show, and here’s why: the initial promotion had only McCormack and Cavanagh being snarky to each other, and I had no idea what the show was about. Then the second wave of promotion showed the characters yelling at each other in an advertising setting, which wasn’t that much more appealing. I thought about recording the first episode, but never got around to it and based on the critical reception, I don’t feel like I’m missing out.
Is anyone else in the same boat? Are there fans out there that love this series or is this one of those shows that lacks a diehard fan base?
Of all the major events in the great run of “Battlestar Galactica,” Dualla’s death was one of the most shocking. She recently sat down with Sci-Fi Wire for an interview about her character’s suicide.
What was your reaction when you actually got the script and it said something along the lines of “Dualla puts gun to temple and pulls trigger”?
McClure: I was floored. I think I was just as floored reading it as I’m sure people [were] seeing it. It’s such a personal and violent and shocking way to go, not only for her, but for the implications for the people around her. Suicide is a difficult topic at the best of times. People see it as being an ultimate act of selfishness on one end, but certainly from the research that I did and the people that I spoke to, there are so many different reasons that people get to that point. But I think for Dee it was just the ultimate act of surrender and the final act of control over her own life. She really wanted to find some kind of peace.
As far as you know, will we learn any more about why she took her own life? In other words, will someone read out loud a will or a suicide note she left behind?
McClure: So far as I know, no. So far as I know, that was it. She couldn’t see any way of ever finding any happiness for herself. That’s no good. Her husband [Jamie Bamber] is still in love with someone else. He’s turned his back on one of the things that joined them together, being in the military and that sense of duty towards the military and his father [Adm. Adama, played by Edward James Olmos] in particular. But I think that was it. It’s her final peace. It’s a very human reaction to a situation like that. Of course, I imagine that Dualla was not the only one on the ship, and certainly not the first one during the course of the whole saga, to choose that way out. I considered it kind of a strange honor to hold that archetype, to say, “Yeah, this is a very human thing. This is what human beings may choose to do.”
I missed “Dee” almost instantly. In many ways, she represented the sweetness and innocence of the human spirit, and she was beaten down by all that the fleet had to go through since the Cylon attack on the colonies. It’s nice to hear McClure, the person closest to this character, explain why Dualla took her own life.
NBC’s Monday night dramas were front and center during the network’s coverage of the Super Bowl, but that failed to translate to huge ratings on Monday night, according to Variety.
Looking at Monday, NBC’s “Chuck” kicked things off with season highs (3.0 rating/7 share in adults 18-49, 8.3 million viewers overall), although this left it in fourth place in one of the week’s toughest hours. It was followed by “Heroes” (3.9/9 in 18-49, 8.5 million viewers overall), which placed third at 9 o’clock although it did defeat its drama competition, Fox’s “24,” in key demos. And closing out the night, the season premiere of “Medium” (2.9/7 in 18-49, 8.5 million viewers overall) ranked second or third in its timeslot in various categories, the net’s best series performance in the hour since the series premiere of “My Own Worst Enemy” in October.
While I haven’t watched “Chuck” or “Medium” yet this week, the return of “Heroes” was pretty strong. It will be interesting to watch that “Heroes”/”24” battle for the rest of the season.
