I just saw the preview for next new episode of Criminal Minds that features Alex O’Loughlin (Moonlight). I had to laugh because in the official preview, it says “Alex O’Loughlin is back…”. Ha! CBS knows they should have kept Moonlight, and if I were them, I’d soak up as much O’Loughlin/Moonlight magic as possible. I bet there are a bunch of Mick St. John fans ready to pounce on this episode of CR!

Season 5 of The Closer begins in June, and the beginning episodes will feature Brenda (Kyra Sedgwick) being “unwillingly” assisted by a detective named Dick Tracy. I have to admit, I’m more excited about that intense arsonist, Billy Croelick (Jason O’Mara) being back, because he seems to rattle Brenda so!

On NCIS, Tony and Ziva’s relationship is about to evolve. May 19 is the season finale, and the “fans will decide” something that will “carry over” to the summer according to NCIS Executive Producer Shane Brennan. Sounds like this is something that fans have been waiting for. So what was all those quips about between these two all this time, sexual tension?

On 24, although fans are still mourning the death of Larry, Chloe (Mary Lynn Rajskub) is back and will be making some important decisions after hearing about Bill.

I read a few weeks ago that Fringe will be be moving all its production from New York to Vancouver in light of the end of tax breaks for the production company. No sweat…I’m sure they’ll do an excellent job of making the show still look like a fictitious Boston.

Also for those wondering about Season 2, Kirk Acevedo (Agent Harris) reveals he was just on set filming a Fringe stand-alone episode that airs for Season 2! You can read his interview here at Fringe Television. For those who said it was risky…Season 2 is coming.

Anna Torv, John Noble and Joshua Jackson on the move to find a creature on Fringe’s “Unleashed”

For now, we’ll continue to get more on Olivia (Anna Torv) and her mysterious background.

I’m pretty excited about this “Peter Bishop” development. It’s unclear how much contact Peter had with his father Walter Bishop (John Noble) so many years ago before Dad went off to the loony bin.

An obvious tack would be that dad somehow made his own son some sort of a lab rat. I think it would be an interesting storyline to pursue (or continue based on a previous episode). What’s even more interesting is the fact there’s no telling what you can pick up just by being around Walter and his crazy lab.

Thoughts On Fringe’s Episode “Unleashed”

Anna Torv, Kirk Acevedo and an unfortunate victim in “Unleashed”

If you saw the latest episode of Fringe called Unleashed, you noticed that it’s probably dangerous to eat anything in the lab, even something as innocuous looking as an *omelette. It’s also better to continue to tell children that “monsters aren’t real” as Olivia learns, even though they do in fact exists in the world of Fringe. 

This time, a group of animal activists decide to break in and release some animals that are caged inside a warehouse. Unfortunately, they released something quite unnatural…a man-made monster! In this episode, Charlie (Kirk Acevedo) is injured by the creature, and what an injury it is…

I’m especially liking the way Olivia Dunham seemed a bit annoyed by the fact that Peter Bishop called late at night to talk to her sister, and not her. What’s the matter Olivia? Didn’t you learn from your last foray into fratting that having your partner as your boyfriend is just not that healthy? I see this as either making her see Peter in a new light, or maybe it will cause her to take a different look at her own life. I suspect Olivia has had her turn at love on Fringe though, but you never know…there’s always a cliffhanger, and next season…

*Walter was incubating a human ear inside the omelette.

He portrays FBI agent Charlie Francis on Fox’s Fringe. In this video, he talks about his character, and how he prepared for his role on the show. Unfortunately, his interview is at the very end (at 5:13) but it’s fun to get a sense of how all the actors are working together.

His character is that of friend and fellow FBI agent to Agent Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv). Notably, he was one of the first actors cast to the show, and it’s no surprise, as he’s known for good solid acting. He was nominated for the Cable Ace and Drama Desk awards, and received the Alma award for his role in the feature film, The Thin Red Line.

This fit FBI dramas star also portrayed Nicky Cottero on The Black Donnellys, and District Attorney Hector Salazar on Law & Order: Trial By Jury. He’s also best known for his portrayal of a violent prisoner looking for redemption on the HBO series, Oz from 1997 to 2003.
