Q&A: Mark Hildreth Talks RESURRECTION Season 2
I caught up with RESURRECTION actor, Mark Hildreth to talk about his character, Pastor Tom on the ABC syfy drama. We talked about what direction he would like to see Tom go in this season, if we will hear any music from Mark in upcoming episodes, and what shows he’s currently watching.
Do you think Pastor Tom will continue to carry the pain of Rachel’s death next season? How will we see him deal with that?
Mark Hildreth: In season 2, we’re going to see Tom stuck between his love for Rachel and his marriage to Janine. Tom has to figure out who he really is, and he makes some drastic choices right away to try to figure this out. But the situation with Rachel and their baby is going to make it really difficult, for everyone in Arcadia.
In the final scene we saw Jacob and Bellamy surrounded. Will Season 2 pick up right where we left off?
Yes, season 2 will start almost immediately after season 1 ended, though there are a lot of changes in Arcadia that will become apparent after the government has descended on the town. Life will never be the same for the residents of Arcadia. And the government arriving is just the beginning.
What direction would you like your character to take in season 2?
Tom is going to have to take a stand for what he believes in. His world was rocked by the appearance of Jacob, and later Rachel, and it put him into doubt about everything he thought he knew. Now he’s going to have to make some really hard choices.
In season one, we saw Tom’s faith in God start to waver. How does the mass appearance of the Returned affect his spiritual beliefs and life?
Tom was preaching the miracles of God for years before Jacob showed up. Then, when he saw his best friend re-appear before him – a real miracle – he couldn’t believe it could be true. This threw Tom into a spiritual crisis that he was never going to emerge from unscathed. Tom has to rediscover everything now.
You sing and have such a great voice; can we look forward to maybe hearing one of your songs on Resurrection sometime in the near future?
I would LOVE to see Tom lead the church in some music, and I have some perfect songs for us to sing too! Maybe you’ll hear something from one of my album Complex State Of Attachment or Signs Of Life on Resurrection some time!
Aside from Resurrection, what shows are you loving right now?
I’m loving Homeland, Game Of Thrones and The Killing!
You can watch Mark in RESURRECTIOaN tonight at 9:00 on ABC.

We Shine the Spotlight on THE WALKING DEAD Star Sonequa Martin-Green
What is terminus? Is there really a cure? Why is Rick (Andrew Lincoln) always covered in blood? Hopefully we will have answers to those questions tonight in the season premiere of everyone’s favorite zombie drama, THE WALKING DEAD. We left off last season with terminus loading Rick, Carl, (Chandler Riggs) Daryl, (Norman Reedus) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) into a freight car and inevitably reuniting them with the rest of the group. Things are destined to get ugly this season and we can’t wait to see what will happen.
Sonequa Martin-Green plays Sasha on the deadly addictive AMC drama. I spoke with Green about her time on the show, which character she would love to bring back, and what we can look forward to in tonight’s premiere.
Were you a fan of the show before you were cast? What about Sasha stuck out to you?
Sonequa Martin-Green: I was a fan of the show beforehand, which made the opportunity to be a part of it very exciting. What stuck out to me the most about Sasha was her blunt honesty and straightforwardness. I was also moved by her relationship to her brother.
No one on TWD is ever really safe; aside from your character who would you like to see stick around for a while? Is there anyone that has died on the show that you would like to bring back?
I’d love to see everyone stick around! People dying is a harsh reality of the zombie apocalyptic world and we have to stay true to that, but I can’t say that I wouldn’t be overjoyed if somehow it could be done away with. I’ve always wished that I could’ve worked with Jon Bernthal. He’s an amazing actor and Shane was a wildly interesting character. It’d be cool to see him return.
Were there any scenes last season that shocked you? Were there any storylines that completely took you by surprise?
I feel like I’m always shocked and surprised at where the story goes. Sometimes we have an idea of where the story is going, at least from an emotional standpoint. But on a small degree I still enjoy the show as an audience member so most of the time I find myself burning through the pages when I read scripts. I must say, the governor’s whole tirade in the mid-season 4 finale was pretty crazy.
There are still a couple of characters that we don’t know much about, who’s storyline would you like to learn more about?
I would’ve loved to know more about Andrea’s sister Amy. She died so early to stay true to the comic, but it would’ve been interesting to learn more about her story. Of course I strongly relate to Andrea and Amy’s sibling dynamic.
The group reunited in the finale. Do you think they will stay together for long? Do you think it’s better for them to split up or stay together?
I think staying together is always the best choice!
Rick stands out as the leader of the group. Do you think at times his decisions hurt the group?
Rick is such a great leader because he understands sacrifice. But Rick was grieving during Season 3 after Lori died and unfortunately I think he lost sight of the best interests of the group when he sent Sasha, Tyreese, Ben and Allen away from the prison.
What can you tell us about Sasha’s involvement in terminus throughout this season?
I can’t tell you that…you gotta stay tuned!
What can you tell us about the premiere?
It’s explosive, gut wrenching and emotionally riveting. It’s definitely gonna take you by storm, it’s a wild ride indeed.
You can watch Sonequa Martin-Green tonight at 9:00PM on AMC.
Review: Showtime Has an AFFAIR to Remember
Showtime’s “The Affair” tells two very different stories about its titular affaire de coeur.
Noah (Dominic West) looks back upon his summer at the beach and recalls nearly succumbing to Alison’s (Ruth Wilson) advances. An incurious Alison recounts the tale of an obsessive family man who had every intention of making something happen. In both cases, each party seems to be hiding something, and as the title would suggest, an affair will take place.
At this point, it’s simply a matter of when. [Read more…]

HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER, GENERAL HOSPITAL! AMERICAN HORROR STORY! THE GOOD WIFE! The TV Addict Week in Rewind
Least Surprising Pick-Up: So apparently, we’re gonna pretend that HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER wasn’t basically assured a full-season from the get-go. Okay, then.
Another Reason To Love Shonda Rhimes: While chatting with The Hollywood Reporter, the queen of Thursday Night TV said she had a “no assholes” policy, adding that there “are no Heigls in this situation,” a reference to former GREYS ANATOMY diva Katherine Heigl.
Most Instantaneous Reaction: When at long last it was confirmed that TWIN PEAKS will be returning, the internet took to debating whether David Lynch and company would remind folks how great television is done… or prove that sometimes, train wrecks can be highly stylized.
The Closest Thing To Sports News This Column Is Likely To Cover: Katy Perry will perform at this year’s Super Bowl. Here’s hoping she performs fireworks, complete with bottle rockets shooting from her bra, so that Janet Jackson’s nipples will no longer be the most talked about cleavage in the event’s history.
Most Unexpectedly Hot Pairing: Who would have predicted that THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Caroline and Ridge would have killer chemistry? Then again, portrayers Thorsten Kaye and Linsey Godfrey have repeatedly proven themselves to have the kind of charisma that makes any scene sizzle.
Best Flashback: Linda Lavin looked so great during her guest spot on THE GOOD WIFE that we had to think the food served in Mel’s diner on ALICE was jam packed with preservatives! [Read more…]

BONES Redux: Our Top 5 Moments From “The Purging of the Pundit”
Now that the team has dealt with the loss of Sweets, we return you to your regularly scheduled Bones episode. Here are our top five moments!
Booth’s trust issues
Booth is not sleeping, and Brennan is concerned. She’s so concerned, she’s quoting Sweets. She thinks Booth has avoidance issues, but of course Booth denies it and points out Brennan doesn’t even believe in psychology. In Brennan’s defense, he tries to deny Aubrey is his partner, and Aubrey reminds Booth he’s not the reason Sweets is gone.
He does take Aubrey to some of the interviews, but not all, and doesn’t let him look at the evidence. Brennan says Booth needs to start trusting more people than just her and that he hasn’t been to church. Eventually Aubrey puts his foot down and takes his life in his hands by calling Booth an idiot. But he manages to calm Booth down by telling him that Sweets trusted him to work with Booth, so when Booth treats Aubrey like crap, he’s treating Sweets like crap as well. At last, Brennan knocks some sense into him, and he trusts Aubrey to come to an interrogation. In the end, Aubrey comes to their home to bring them some wine, and it’s Brennan who needs to be reassured she and Booth are still partners.
Intern Rudolfo Fuentes.
When last we saw Intern Fuentes, he was hitting on Brennan. He does hit on Angela right off the bat, and Angela tells Hodgins Fuentes is eye candy, so he needs to get used to it. I wonder if she’d feel the same way if Hodgins was hitting on female eye candy. Fuentes offers his condolences about Sweets. He also tells Brennan about how his brother was betrayed by the police he worked with and had to learn to accept there were things beyond his control. Brennan equates this to quantum physics, and it seems to help her a great deal.
I’m glad to see he’s dialed back the whole Casanova thing quite a bit.
The corpse of the week is a guy found in a drainpipe.
Weasels (aka stoats) had nested inside the corpse and made it look like the body was moving. Gross. Hodgins is stoked, though, as he gets to capture the little guys, as well as their nest, which they decorate with the body parts. Aubrey decided to show up, only to see the (half of a) rotting corpse and immediately get ill. Turns out the corpse is an obese right-wing radio icon named Hutch Whitehouse, and his cortisol and oxytocin levels make it seem like he enjoyed getting killed. The injuries show he was tortured prior to death.
At last, everyone gets on the same page and figures out Hutch was into S&M. He had an empty office space he spent a ton of money to soundproof, so that’s where he had his fun. Of course, when Booth and Brennan check it out, they find blood and lots of bodily fluid. Yuck.
The suspects:
Hutch’s wife promotes women’s rights issues all over the country, which explains why she didn’t report him missing. She can also understand why Booth sees her as a suspect, since she stands to come into thirty million dollars. At her hotel, she threatened the front desk clerk to get a ground floor room. Booth thinks it’s because she was having an affair, but she insists she wanted to be discreet when she bought drugs, because she knew it would ruin Hutch’s career. She also knew about the dominatrix.
Among the threats Hutch received was from a man who believed Hutch was too soft. His name is William Byers. It also appears he’s ordering fertilizer to make bombs. He calls Hutch a traitor, because Hutch wouldn’t spread the word about the armed uprising. Then he lies about murdering Hutch, because it’s obvious he wants to be famous and spread his hate message, but Booth catches him in the lie and promises Byers that because of the whole bomb-making thing, he’s going away for a long time, and nobody will know his name.
Alan Spaziano is Hutch’s partner and “punching bag.” Hutch called him a demo-crap. Booth immediately seizes on him as a suspect. But Spaziano points out that Hutch didn’t believe half of what he said, and without Hutch, he has no career. Therefore, not much of a motive to kill him.
Hutch’s producer, Bob Gordon, is a mega-billionaire who gives to conservative causes. He does have a record of two DUIs and hunting deer without a license. Hutch had left him a message that he was sick, but Bob thinks Hutch is being a diva and goes to drag him to the station, only to find he wasn’t there. He also says he deleted the message. But when it’s discovered Hutch was dangled by a deer hoist, he becomes the number one suspect. However, he admits only to disposing of the body, since after he couldn’t find Hutch at his house, he called the wife, who told him about the fun space. Bob found him there in leather with the ball gag in his mouth. He didn’t want the cops to find him like That.
Angela’s magic gadgets.
With computer graphics, Angela is able to put a (squash) ball gag in Hutch’s mouth and figure out he was hit in the nose. With Hutch’s swollen nose and his mouth obstructed, it led to his death. But why didn’t the dominatrix remove the ball gag and save his life? When Booth interrogates her, she insists that wouldn’t happen on her watch. She’s a licensed therapist, etc. Hutch felt bad he earned his money inciting the worst in people, She “disciplined” him, which satisfied his need to be punished. Plus, all of the restraints had releases he could use. She insists Hutch was making progress. He was thinking of quitting the show to become a moderate. A voice of reason.
Angela was able to retrieve the message Hutch left for Bob and figure out that it wasn’t Hutch but Spaziano pretending to be Hutch to mess with the time of death. He found out Hutch was quitting the show, and without Hutch, as he said, his career was finished. So thinking Hutch was all bound and gagged and couldn’t do anything, Spaziano decided to make a blackmail video. Only problem was the safety release. Hutch came after Spaziano, who struck Hutch in the face with his cell phone. Spaziano tries to say it was an accident, but Booth just walks out on him.
It looks like Aubrey is going to be a great addition to the team. They’ve fallen into a nice groove. Bones and Brennan are cozy in their new house, and it looks like Booth may actually get some sleep. It’s nice to see everything returning back to normal.
Review: CRISTELA
‘Cristela’ Doesn’t Have to Be Old-Fashioned to Appeal as a Throwback
Sitcoms built around stand-up comedians ruled the late ’80s and early ’90s, with some of television’s best-ever programs stemming from the trend, such as “Roseanne” and “Seinfeld.”
This fall, the trend is back in play.
Former “Saturday Night Live” scribe John Mulaney stars in Fox’s newest sitcom, “Mulaney,” while Cristela Alonzo stars in “Cristela,” premiering tonight on ABC. The Alphabet Network’s latest attempt at a multi-cam shows promise, but it fails whenever it veers towards the past and returns with antiquated punch lines. [Read more…]
