Get To Know One of THE 100: Henry Ian Cusick Previews Walking the Line Between Hero and Villain
It is difficult to look into the hearts of men, and one can only make assumptions based on a man’s actions. When first introduced to Councilor Kane (Henry Ian Cusick) in the new CW drama series THE 100, his motives will seem murky and self-serving. But with each passing episode and, as the layers of the story are pulled back, there just may be something else going on entirely.
During press interviews at the Warner Bros. Mondo Television International Press Tour, star Henry Ian Cusick talked about Councilor Kane’s motivations and the need to make hard choices even if it makes you look like a villain. [Read more…]

PaleyFest 2014: Snappy Answers to Silly Questions with The Cast of THE MINDY PROJECT
In the midst of its second season, THE MINDY PROJECT continues to follow the romantic misadventures of Dr. Mindy Lahiri (Mindy Kaling) and her co-workers at their medical practice in New York City. When the show last left off, Mindy and Dr. Danny Castellano (Chris Messina) had finally succumb to their burning sexual attraction and kissed while enroute to back to New York after a desert adventure in search of Danny’s estranged father. Sure to pick back up where that kiss left off, or after much speculation of where it ended, THE MINDY PROJECT returns this week with an all new episode entitled “French Me, You Idiot.”
While attending last week’s PaleyFest 2014, taking a moment to provide snappy answers to a few questions on the red carpet the cast of THE MINDY PROJECT revealed fun answers to the questions: what their characters’ idea of a perfect romantic getaway would be, the perfect love song for that romantic getaway, and the one quality they most appreciate and admire about their zany characters that populate Shulman & Associates.

Not-So-Legendary?! A Second Opinion on the HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER Series Finale
There has been a lot of controversy over the How I Met Your Mother finale and weighing in at this point may seem a bit redundant but as a diehard fan who proudly owns a bright yellow umbrella; there are some things that need to be said.
My colleague Victoria Nelli wrote a very eloquent essay on why the finale worked. It was was well reasoned, justified, and by all accounts a fair assessment of the shows final bow…but to me it was just all wrong.
The finale we watched last night was conceived from the HOW I MET YOUR MOTHERS earliest days and if the show had ended in season 2 or 3 than this finale would have been very strong ( I can’t say brilliant because there were too many pacing issues) but here is the cold hard truth: The show outgrew its ending.
I fully understand how hard it is to let go of your vision. This is especially true for a sitcom as meticulously thought out as HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER but that doesn’t mean you should ignore the natural progression of your show. Characters have a tendency to take on a life of their own, that’s simple a happy side effect of good writing, but the finale felt entirely too much like a rushed effort to accommodate an end game that simply no longer fit into the mythology.
