Link: Leaderless CRTC Is Adrift And Without A Mission
Is the CRTC adrift without a mission?
At a time of unprecedented change, cultural industries need to decide on their future investments, not civil servants that see the industry as “the enemy.” The regulator must take technological change into account, show long-term vision and be capable of working with the industry. Continue reading.

Link: Pure too messy for its own good
“Pure†isn’t. In fact, the Canadian import premiering Friday, July 7, on Hulu is a watchable mess.
The series is about drugs, violence and Mennonites in Southern Ontario. Created by Michael Amo, “Pure†is about an upstanding citizen who gets tied up in the illegal drug trade and finds his moral compass set spinning by what happens to him. Continue reading.Â

Link: Dark Matter: Joseph Mallozzi talks “One More Card to Play”
“It’s always so tough when you’re coming up with those twists and turns. It reminds me a bit of an episode of Stargate SG-1 called “Ripple Effect†where there was a twist I wanted to do at the end, but I didn’t know what the twist was until I actually sat down and wrote it. Then I got to the twist and I thought, “this is what I’ll do†and it worked out. It was one of those rare instances where it worked out. With this one, it was packed full of fun little twists.” Continue reading.

I’m in Killjoys for the threesome, Bridget. Aren’t we all?” Continue reading.Â

From Nivea Serrao of Entertainment Weekly:
Link: Wynonna Earp boss on how Fargo inspired the rest of the season
“There is something so exceptional about this situation because Wynonna Earp is literally the only Earp heir. She’s the only one that can fire Peacemaker and the only one who can protect the Ghost River Triangle. Much like Marge Gunderson in Fargo, Wynonna needs to keep doing her job.” Continue reading.

Link: Wynonna Earp: Emily Andras talks “Let’s Pretend We’re Strangers”
“We like a good cliffhanger and we have more coming this year, but I’d say this one is a doozy. It’s pretty big, and can I just say I’m so SHOCKED that nobody guessed! I’m so delighted. I have to say, it’s so gratifying in this day and age with the internet and television spoilers, how many things have been kept a surprise.” Continue reading.
