Homeland Return Date Announced, Season 2 Defended

At today's Television Critics Association Q&A session, Showtime President David Nevins announced that Homeland Season 3 will premiere on Sunday, June 30.

He also took a few moments to address concerns regarding Homeland Season 2, sticking up for the award-winning drama.

Carrie's Hunt

“I think it started really strong and it ended really strong," Nevis said. "Some of the criticism seems fair. [But] suspension of disbelief is the scaffolding all storytelling is based on. I have enormous confidence in the people that write and perform that show [and believe] that it will maintain its quality.”

Many viewers believed events became too far-fetched on Season 2, specifically citing Abu Nazir crashing into Carrie and then kidnapping the CIA agent.

As for the future of Damian Lewis, considering Brody is now a wanted man on the run?

“Everything on that show is vigorously debated," Nevins said, adding of the possibility that Lewis would be written off: "If at the end of that debate, it made sense storywise, I could conceivably say yes.”

Scandal Episode Trailer: Cheating and Changing

Scandal answered one question on last night's 2013 premiere, "One for the Dog."

Yes, Huck is now a free man.

But another question will arise on next Thursday's "A Criminal, a Whore, an Idiot and a Liar." Did the shooting change the President for better... or for worse?

That's the topic focused on in the following ABC promo, although we can also confirm this installment will flashback in time to the election itself. We'll get a glimpse at Barry Bostwick as Fitz's father, while also learning more about how the rigging took place.

Prepare for another scintillating episode of Scandal Season 2 now:

Arrow Scoop: Look Who’s Returning!

Attention, Arrow fans: you have not seen the last of a certain female vigilante in Starling City.

Following the panel for his upcoming CBS drama Golden Boy at today's Television Critics Association press tour, the busy producer was asked about this Stephen Amell-anchored drama and confirmed viewers WILL, indeed, see Jessica De Gouw’s Helena once again.

“She’s going to come back,” Berlanti said. “We’re just writing that episode right now.”

Arrow Drops In

As for just how The Huntress may re-enter Oliver Queen’s life, Berlanti only teased: “We like to think of her as the crazy ex-girlfriend. So if you can only imagine the turns…her mission isn’t done or complete yet. She wanted to kill her Dad and he’s still alive.”

Berlanti also expressed his pleasure with how Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) has become a fan favorite.

"Those are always the best. That’s the great part about TV, in terms of fans.” he said, addong that “she’s got some great storylines coming up and becomes an even more integral and active part of the dynamic of the show.”

Arrow returns with new episodes next Wednesday at 8/7c on The CW.

Blue Bloods Review: Tells, Trauma, & the Whole Truth

Reagans are a stubborn bunch.  They don't like to back down or appear weak so it certainly wasn't "Front Page News" when Jamie tried to act like nothing was wrong after shooting and killing an armed man.

My big issue with the shooting was that it took place in Washington Square Park which normally has police officers on patrol yet it appeared as though Jamie and his partner were the only police around for a call about a man with a gun.  But this is TV, so I'll try and let that one go.

Can Danny Help Jamie?

Jamie seemed determined to be as tough as his brother but he failed miserably.  I have no doubt Danny would have felt badly if he had done the shooting but outwardly you know he wouldn't have done more than gripe about the paperwork. 

Whereas Jamie went down the road that has become all too familiar for this character.  He tormented himself wondering whether he was truly cut out to be a cop. 

This is Blue Bloods season 3. Shouldn't Jamie know what he wants to be by now. He needs to decide whether he's a cop or he wants to go back and be a lawyer or something else all together.  Instead we're stuck with this angst as he ponders his career choice every other episode and it's gotten a bit tiring.

And Jamie's reluctance over the general bureaucracy that goes along with any shooting felt odd to me. There are certain procedures that must be followed such as being evaluated by a therapist.  I would think that being part of a cop family he'd simply accept this as the norm and get it over with instead of griping every step of the way.

Perhaps I'm being to hard on him.  That could've just been the trauma talking but it came off as Jamie's insecurities coming to the surface once again.

Danny came to Jamie's rescue, as any good brother in his position should. And he did it as only Danny could do as he told the Sergeant in this Blue Bloods quote

Danny: I'm just checking on my kid brother, Sarge. If anyone at IA got a problem with it they can bite me. | permalink

You've got to respect the brotherly love.

The one person I felt no sympathy for was the victim, if you could call him that.  He got high and killed a girl in college, then covered it up and watched his friend's life be ruined by the guilt. When the truth was finally going to come out he decided it was better to kill himself and leave his family with that torment than face the consequences. And when he couldn't even get that right, he manipulated an innocent police officer into taking his life for him. The guy was a selfish little weasel to the end.

The story of the mayor's true involvement in Erin's case was left dangling. Was Frank right? Was that the mayor's tell and he's lying. I have little doubt he had something to do with the defendant suddenly accepting that deal, even if he was only pulling the strings from a distance.

Or perhaps he just has an itchy head.  Something tells me we'll find out more as this season of Blue Bloods continues.

Revenge Sneak Peek: Behind Bars

Tomorrow night on Revenge, a fundraiser and wine auction provide the perfect backdrop for Emily and Aiden's plan of attack, while Victoria strategically plots her next move as well.

Meanwhile, Jack, Declan and Amanda struggle with what lies ahead after the surprising events of "Power." In the sneak preview below, we see the elder Porter brother behind bars.

As Amanda offers to get bail money from Emily - or Nolan - Jack says he refuses to drag any of his friends into it. At that point, Amanda learns the truth about why he was set up.

How will it play out as we inch closer to the body-on-the-boat reveal?

TEDxAmsterdam The Human Brain Trailer

TEDxAmsterdam 2011 Human Brain #1 (dress rehearsal) – click if video does not play above

TEDxAmsterdam human brain with bodies

A beautiful trailer created back in 2011 for TEDxAmsterdam featuring 48 dancers from The Dutch National Ballet moving together to create the shape of a brain. The trailer features what was a dress rehearsal for the brain created by human bodies in a series of three that were performed live at TEDxAmsterdam in November 2011.  The piece is the brain child of Amsterdam-based creative agency We Are Pi and is narrated by actor Rutger Hauer with music by Pigeon Horse Sex Tennis.  Can’t believe I missed this one back in 2011!

Fringe Review: The Father and The Son

Wow. "The Boy Must Live" answered a lot of questions and left us with what might be the beginning of the end of the "the plan" for our faithful fringe team. We finally found out what the plan was, only to have Michael throw a wrench into it in the final minutes of the hour. Let's check out what went down.

Walter and Peter Image

As John Noble hinted in a recent conference call, Walter had agreed to pay a great price for the plan to succeed; his life. Michael showed to Walter what he did Nina, a frenzied amalgamation of his many lives all wound into one burst of memories that he didn't know he had.

It was so profound that Walter told Peter he no longer feared his repaired brain because of what Michael showed him. Everything he thought he knew as a so called “great man” could fit into a thimble. That didn't mean that Walter wasn't afraid about the choice he made before being ambered over 20 years ago.

When they found Donald and he was revealed as September, things started to fall into place. (As an aside, how perfect was it that Broadway star Michael Cerveris played September, who chose the name Donald O’Connor from Singing In The Rain as his alias?) We finally learned exactly what an Observer is and how they came to be; genetically programmed mutations to remove all unnecessary brain function outside of intelligence. Or so they thought. As Donald pointed out, Michael is the perfect example of how emotions and intelligence can be combined in a superior way to both humans and Observers. 

There were a few questions along the way, such as which Observers were from which era. Which were device driven and which were laboratory born? It would appear to make a difference. The continued experimentation and culling of all extraneous brain function was done as a way to replace the device. So, when the device was removed from September, he was able to become Donald, a mere human. Other Observers from future times would either need to be stopped via the plan or in some other manner.

Walter called Donald Michael’s father, but Donald didn't say he was from his DNA, merely that he saved him. Windmark, meanwhile, asked about what genetics were used at the same time Donald was talking about being Michael his son, but later Windmark remarked didn't know why September cared so much for the boy. So my question is this: were September's genetics used to create Michael or did Donald merely rescue him and adopt him in the same manner Walter rescued Peter from the other universe? I wonder if we’ll find out for sure.

Regardless, it was a great honor to Walter that September saw in him the undying love he had for Peter and his willingness to go to such great lengths for his son - so much so that he made the conscious decision to become a father himself. And, interesting that when they first met at Reiden Lake, and September said the boy must live, he was talking a son; but his own, not Walter's. Fringe truly is a love story between a father and a son, no matter which way you look at it.

The plan was to send the boy forward into time because by the time September realized his importance, he had lost the ability to move forward himself. An elaborate plan was concocted to change the course of history and for the people in the future, on February 20, 2167, the turning point in human evolution, to see that they didn't need to take the drastic measures they were about to take. It was possible to achieve all they wished without sacrificing love and the natural progression of life.

It was a great plan, but there was a lot riding on one mutation from a race hell bent on destroying itself. Did September/Donald know even then the great power of persuasion Michael had on others with only his presence?

With all the talk of resetting time, Olivia determined she and Peter would get their daughter back. She, nor anyone else, bothered to think what a time reset would do to their past. While they had retained memories through many universes and timelines, there would be no guarantee that another shift, certainly one of that magnitude, would allow them to do the same again. She was also unaware the plan required Walter's sacrifice.

The white tulip, which has been discussed so many times, most recently in the "Anomaly XB-6783746" Round Table discussion, was used by September when Walter had doubts about his ability to go through with the plan and his part in it. September went back in time and took the letter containing the white tulip and delivered it to Walter to give him hope that they could win. Walter wondered where it was, and given it's value, I can only guess it will turn up in the finale. 

All of which brings me back to Michael throwing a wrench into the plan. 

Recently I watched a field of sheep and wondered what they must think all day. I thought the same thing as I viewed the look on Windmark’s face, listening to the music in Donald’s apartment. Could he comprehend what he was hearing or was he struggling to find anything in the sound he heard? Clearly, his cohort heard something, as his foot was tapping. Could Michael’s sheer presence have some sort of viral infecting capabilities on fellow Observers? Why would an Observer be tapping his foot to music and Windmark be experiencing consuming feelings to end the lives of the fugitives? 

I don’t think the plan will come to fruition, not because it can’t but because Michael knows more than they do and will somehow keep it from happening. He seemed to be listening to everyone with an understanding of what they wanted to do, knowing all along he had a plan of his own. Even Donald admitted nobody can communicate on the same level as Michael, and yet they carried on conversations around him as if he was merely a boy. 

Stunted growth with the intellectual and emotional capacity not known elsewhere in time doesn't mean Michael is incapable of understanding what is happening around him. It doesn't preclude him formulating his own plan to change the way things are now or the way they started, and despite what he showed Walter, I don't think Walter will die. Wanting to make the sacrifice and remembering the other lives he lived was somehow deemed important by Michael, and he made it happen.

If what happens next week is not wholly driven by Michael and his extraordinary capabilities, I will be shocked. For all the knowledge and perseverance our heroes have, Walter has always looked to God, exemplified through the power of the white tulip, to get him through. Michael will be the incarnation of that white tulip and change the course of history. That's my prediction for the finale. As far as anything else goes? I have absolutely no idea.
