Wynonna Earp

Link: Wynonna Earp: Emily Andras talks “She Ain’t Right”

From Bridget Liszewski of The TV Junkies:

Link: Wynonna Earp: Emily Andras talks “She Ain’t Right”
“Is she going to go back to her old self? She’s lying on the ground with evil demon, tentacled Wynonna/whatever we decide to call her/name pending there! I think she’s in a lot of trouble, Bridget. There’s no going to Ikea, there’s no going back to being Purgatory’s nicest person. She’s in a lot of danger. So out of the frying pan and into the tentacle fryer, that’s what I think.” Continue reading.

From Nivea Serrao of Entertainment Weekly:

Link: Wynonna Earp boss on that final scene: ‘Playtime is over’
“The thing about the Earp heir that is kind of tricky is that you can only become the Earp heir when you’re 27 years old, so technically, Waverly can’t use or fire Peacemaker. Also, there’s also the slight problem which is we are not even sure if Waverly’s actually even an Earp or has Earp blood. Even if she was 27, could she fire the gun? Could she become the Earp heir? So in a weird way, we’re heir-less. Also, Wynonna Earp is the one with superpowers, so the fact that the demon is inside her maybe is like it got the most powerful Corvette on the market, so to speak. It’s not a good thing.” Continue reading.

Dark Matter

Link: Dark Matter: Joseph Mallozzi talks “Give It Up, Princess”

From Kelly Townsend of The TV Junkies:

Link: Dark Matter: Joseph Mallozzi talks “Give It Up, Princess”
“Mishka did such a good job in the audition. His first day he came in, we asked for a little adjustment, and he just made the character his. He was terrific, kind of an everyman sort of person in that he’s clearly in way over his head with the crew of the Raza, whereas when comparing him to Five (Jodelle Ferland) and he points out, “hey, she’s just a kid, she’s the one who’s in over her head,” but in reality, Five’s come such a long way. Clearly he’s the one who has a lot more growing than she does.” Continue reading.

Killjoys

Link: Killjoys: Michelle Lovretta talks “Boondoggie”

From Bridget Liszewski of The TV Junkies:

Link: Killjoys: Michelle Lovretta talks “Boondoggie”
“One of my great joys as a writer on this show has been realizing how goddamn funny Luke is, and we gleefully exploit the balls out of that in Season 3, no mistake. He has made the D’avin character better and more nuanced than I ever could on my own, and I’m so grateful. But you know, it’s odd – maybe my humor-versus-trauma sensor is busted, but I don’t really think the John or Dutch storylines are all that dark this year, compared to emo Season 2?” Continue reading.

Orphan Black 504: Sarah and Mrs. S search for answers

Following last week’s psychedelic pit stop in Bailey Downs, Orphan Black turns its attention back to the main conspiracy storyline, as Sarah and Mrs. S follow the lead on a Neolution defector, and Cosima searches for information on the mysterious “bear” roaming the woods on the island.

Here is our preview of “Let the Children & Childbearers Toil,” written by Greg Nelson and directed by David Wellington.

Kira wants answers
But her methodology upsets Sarah.

Sarah and Mrs. S go undercover 
Expect a detour and some extremely satisfying character moments along the way—including a moving scene that writer Greg Nelson tells us Graeme Manson “had in his pocket” for a long time.

Cosima plays detective
And makes a horrifying discovery about the creature in the woods.

Another familiar face returns
We’re thrilled. Felix? Not so much.

A big “aha” moment
Expect a major reveal that connects several dots from seasons past and seriously raises the stakes for upcoming episodes.

Orphan Black airs Saturdays at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT on Space.

Link: Little India: Village of Dreams A Must See

From James Bawden:

Link: Little India: Village of Dreams A Must See
It’s entirely appropriate for the brilliant new documentary Little India: Village Of Dreams to premiere on Canada Day –it runs Saturday, July 1 at 9 p.m. on TVOntario.

Filmmaker Nina Beveridge tells me on the phone the ambitious film took a year and a half to plan and make –and that included multiple shooting days in the neighborhood. I well know the location in east end Toronto along Gerrard St. East just before Coxwell–I attended Riverdale College at Gerrard and Jones, graduating in 1964, when Riverdale was an all white Protestant bastion.
