NCIS Sneak Peek: Wright Fright Night

The explosive return and departure of Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) has rocked NCIS. It is not every day that someone returns from the dead…well, maybe on THE TWILIGHT ZONE or SUPERNATURAL…but not in the nation’s capital. (Yes, there is a setup for a joke there, but everyone’s imaginations can fill in that blank based on personal preference.)

The NCIS team tries to return to a more familiar dynamic, with Vance (Rocky Carroll) dispatching Jack (Maria Bello) to help the colleagues return to their version of “normal” with the offer of “a chance to talk” about their feelings. Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) recoils immediately at the proposal, rejecting any suggestion of therapy, but before the day is over, the agents will encounter something more than the undead. Yes, it is a truly disturbing, spectacularly horrifying creature that is involved in the death of a Marine Lieutenant…it is a garden gnome. While some might think that statement reeks of sarcasm, be assured it does not. Along with clowns (coulrophobia) and sharks (galeophobia), garden gnomes are on my personal list of things that terrify, and I do not terrify easily. Snakes, rats, spiders, the usual phobias…no problem. But garden gnomes are evil, and when the Lieutenant’s body is found hidden under an 18-wheeler, along with a suspicious gnome, I am not surprised.

As the NCIS team tracks the vehicle’s previous locations to pinpoint the crime scene, I thoroughly blame the gnome. I do not care that he is shattered into pieces…garden gnomes are eerie with their pointy hats and eyes that watch you from across the street.

And what did the producers at NCIS decide to do to reinforce my fears? They hired Thomas J. Wright to direct tonight’s episode, “Going Mobile.” For those who are unaware of Wright’s incredible career, look him up. Not only does he excel at examining the nuances of non-supernatural situations (NCIS, BULL, CSI and CASTLE among his many credits), Tom Wright handles “other world” characters with aplomb (SMALLVILLE, MAX HEADROOM, THE X FILES, and the aforementioned SUPERNATURAL and THE TWILIGHT ZONE). Chances are that some of your own phobias may have sprung from the imagination of Tom Wright. Not only is he a fabulous director, Wright is responsible for many of the chilling paintings seen on NIGHT GALLERY.

And now, Wright is directing a show with a garden gnome. I may never sleep again.

The guest cast includes Cliff Chamberlain, Frankie Jay Allison, Ellen Geer (“Gert Case” from SUPERNATURAL), Dylan Vox, David DeLuise, Tatiana Carr, David L. King, Michael Dunn and Paulina Bugembe. “Going Mobile” was written by Scott Williams.

NCIS airs tonight (October 8) on CBS in the U.S. and Global TV in Canada at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT.

NCIS: NEW ORLEANS Sneak Peek: Twilight

To quote Rod Serling, “There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.” Why quote Serling (creator of THE TWILIGHT ZONE and one of television’s most prolific talents) when previewing tonight’s NCIS: NEW ORLEANS episode, “The Terminator Conundrum”? Possibly because Dwayne Pride must feel like he may be trapped there.

Not only did he trade his cushy SAC office to return to NCIS: NEW ORLEANS headquarters to save Khoury’s (Necar Zedegan) job, Pride still suffers from hallucinations, insomnia and nightmares from the traumatic events of last season. Dwayne faces “the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge” as the effects of the high-tech Apollyon project continue to plague him like locusts (pun intended. The mythical Apollyon was a destroyer, the name given to the king of the hosts represented by the locusts.) If those events, the murder of his father and his mother’s dementia were not enough to make Pride worry about his sanity, throw aliens into the mix. Aliens?

Yes, aliens. When NCIS: NEW ORLEANS investigates a private plane crash in which a Navy pilot says she saw an unidentified object prior to the crash, Sebastian (Rob Kerkovich) finds an unusual clear metal in the wreckage. Positing that it could be from a UFO, one almost expects William Shatner to break in with an order to describe a starship’s cloaking device. Does this conundrum inhabit the line of the middle ground between light and shadow? Possibly. According to NOAA, the line that separates day and night is called the “terminator” or the “twilight zone.”

(NOAA is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. NOAA scientists study the skies and the oceans.)

Tonight’s episode, “The Terminator Conundrum” was written by Jan Nash and directed by Ed Ornelas. Guest cast on “The Terminator Conundrum are Alex Beh, Elizabeth Faith Ludlow, Kristin Carey, Lindsay Pulsipher, Wyatt Walter, Caroline Cole, Jeff Robins, Leslie Nipkow, Trazi Lashawn and Cory Hart in a nice hat-tip to SUPERNATURAL as “Agent Winchester.”

Somewhere from the distance, those musical notes from THE TWILIGHT ZONE waft by…

NCIS: NEW ORLEANS airs tonight (October 1) at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on CBS in the U.S. and at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT on Global TV in Canada.

THE BOYS: Amazon’s New Superhero Show is Worth the Watch

July 25, 2019 By Clarissa Leave a Comment

If you’re familiar with Eric Kripke’s most successful and longest-running show SUPERNATURAL, know that his newest show – THE BOYS – is vastly different from the former. It’s darker, bleakier and far more violent. But, like SUPERNATURAL, it’s also full of hilarious quips. THE BOYS, based on a comic series, introduces fans to a world where superheroes are a business. A company called Vought (led by the deliciousy diabolical Elisabeth Shue) essentially sells out its home-grown supers to various cities, colllecting royalties and fees, putting them into films, and selling their heroic deeds to the highest bidder. The world loves supers, turning out in giant crowds and whorshipping them as celebrities.

But, of course, the spotlight and power has turned a core group of superheroes – known as The Seven – into a group of….well, jerks. Their leader, Homelander, has terrible emotional problems and his squeaky clean image is marred by the fact that he’s basically a psychopath. One member demands that his new female co-worker service him sexually, and another brutally kills a woman in the course of supposedly performing a heroic deed and simply gets away with murder. The worst thing is that no one seems to care, so long as the supers keep saving people and Vought continues to hide the worst of their bad deeds.

In fact, it’s through this murder that we meet Hughie, an ordinary guy who loses his girlfriend in an utterly tragic (and, frankly, disgusting) manner. He’s soon recruited by Billy Butcher (played by Karl Urban), who has a longstanding grudge against supers and wants to find whatever tools he can in order to rid the world of them. This will eventually put them on a collision course with The Seven and with Vought. And within Vought itself you have its newest recruit, Starlight, who realizes that the superhero life isn’t all its cracked up to be when you’re just another cog in the corporate machine.

THE BOYS isn’t for the sqeamish, because it’s full of both unlikable characters and violence. But it’s a clever subversion of the normal superhero drama. We’re not rooting for the supers here – there’s no Captain America or Iron Man to cheer for. The heroes are the villains and the guys who are trying to expose them aren’t that much better.

THE BOYS has already been renewed for a second season. Its first season will debut on Amazon on Friday, July 26.
