Containment – “Pilot” and “I To Die, You To Live” Review. Ignorance Is Not Always Bliss.
A viral outbreak can happen. We’ve seen it with the Ebola scare back in 2014, as well as the avian flu (better known as bird flu) and the H1N1 virus (or swine flu). While Ebola has a much higher mortality rate than the bird or swine flus, that doesn’t mean these viruses can’t mutate. What Containment focuses on is the humanity, as well as its cast of characters. While there is a deadly virus looming, Containment revolves around the people and how they survive this ordeal.
Containment, based on the Belgian television series Cordon, takes us on a journey, exploring the state of affairs of a large, well-known U.S. city divided. Can you imagine if this were happening right now – Atlanta split in half, with many of its citizens trapped in the hot zone, cordoned off from family, friends, and loved ones? It’s downright terrifying to fathom.

VIDEO: Interviews with Cast and Executive Producers of The CW’s CONTAINMENT At WonderCon 2016
The buzz around Containment is good; really good. After watching the first two episodes prior to attending the press room, I was excited and anxious to speak with the cast and executive producer Julie Plec about the show’s premise (based on a Belgian television series titled Cordon) and how the adaptation would translate for American audiences. Throughout the roundtable style interviews, I spoke with (in order): Kristen Gutoskie who plays Katie Frank, executive producers Chris Ord and Matt Corman, George Young who plays Dr. Victor Cannerts of the CDC, Claudia Black who plays Dr. Sabine Lommers, Hanna Mangan Lawrence who plays Teresa Keaton, Christina Moses who plays Jana Mayfield, Trevor St. John who plays Leo Greene, and finally executive producer/writer Julie Plec.

Outlander –“Not in Scotland Anymore” Review. That Red Dress Though…
Again, the storyliine in “Not in Scotland Anymore” leaves a bit to be desired as the political intrigue can be confusing. I found myself distracted by the beauty and extravagance of the costumes and locales, more so than the introduction of Prince Charles Edward Stuart and the sleazy Duke of Sandringham.

Grimm – “Inugami” Review. Ultimate Guard Dog.
The quote in this week’s Grimm is a variation of author Samuel Johnson’s quote, “Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged.” This fits perfectly with the theme of this week’s Grimm episode, “Inuagmi,” as we meet a Japanese Wesen of the same name. In Japanese, Inugami translates to “dog god.”
