Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Questions with V Star Charles Mesure
Despite Earth being on the precipice of all out war with a terrifying and powerful enemy we don’t understand and have little chance of defeating, one man can’t help but smile. That man? Charles Mesure, a journeyman actor who made the most of last season’s guest-starring stint as mercenary-turned-resistance fighter Kyle Hobbes to secure himself a promotion to series regular for V’s second season. But whose side is his character really on and is there any room for romance while saving the world from surprisingly good-looking reptiles? We caught up with Mesure on location in beautiful, albeit unseasonably cold Vancouver British Columbia in late August to find out.
What’s in store for Hobbes now that he’s a bonafide series regular?
Charles Mesure: At the end of season 1 we saw Hobbes doing a sort of clandestine deal with Marcus and he was saying, “Come and work for the V’s or else,” and Hobbes goes, “Well, bugger that, I’m going to head to the hills and you’ll never find me.” And he goes, “Well, maybe we can’t get to you but we can get to this person,” and he pulls out this photo which has quite the impact on Hobbes. And that’s the story we’re going to pursue for the moment.

Advertising Anarchy: How the CW *Should* Be Promoting SMALLVILLE’s Final Season!
As much as we absolutely adore the recently-released teaser poster for SMALLVILLE’s final season (Yes, we’re a complete sucker for clever use of shadow), we can’t help but think it’s missing a little something. Something that we’ve added in our latest instalment of Advertising Anarchy (Also known as our take on how networks might wish to consider promoting some of our favorite new and returning shows). Agreed?
Making Television Magic: A Closer Look at Lifetime’s MARRY ME
In the midst of the joyous holiday season, a very amazing thing happened: there was a Christmas miracle on television. If you blinked and missed it, the special 4-hour mini-series MARRY ME starring Lucy Liu may have gone unnoticed on your television radar. But, if you caught it, it is a television event worth celebrating.
Over the years, television specials rarely surprise. They offer a catchy premise, a fun cast and the expected payoff in the end. But this time I found myself sitting in front of my television utterly entranced. What had sounded like a story about a woman torn between three different marriage proposals was actually something else entirely. It was a story of a woman rejecting three different marriage proposals as she tried to figure out if she was looking for a fairy tale or being realistic about her marriage prospects. The twist on a familiar story was unexpectedly delightful.
