Frankly speaking, I’m bored with Mickey and Daryll’s foray into the world of drugs and sex, and miss the tension-filled interactions between Mickey and Ray. Until “Come and Knock on Our Door,” Mickey and Daryll’s story line has been nothing more than filler. Thankfully, episodic writer David Hollander changes all that with the brilliant dialogue that highlights the intensity of Mickey and Ray’s embittered relationship.

So many things happen in “You’re Not the Man,” my head is spinning. You might think so many plot points would be distracting but they’re not. Each one serves a purpose—a sort of means to an end—making this episode of Power stand out even more than the previous ones.

So far, so very good—the second season of Dominion doesn’t disappoint with its grittier and more in-depth exploration of its world in “The Narrow Gate.”

A baby on the way, a possible Wu-Mance, and finally learning about those darn keys – these are just a few of the things the cast and executive producers/writers talked about inside the Grimm press room as this year’s Comic-Con. Almost all the cast were present. Absent, of course, is Bitsie Tulloch who plays Juliette Siverton. If you remember, Juliette took an arrow to the heart at the end of season four, courtesy of Trubel, played by Jacqueline Toboni (also not in attendance). Check out our video interviews with Silas Weir Mitchell, Bree Turner, Sasha Roiz, Reggie Lee, EPs/Writers/Director, David Giuntoli, and Russell Hornsby.

Things get heated when Harvey (Gabriel Macht) and Mike (Patrick J. Adams) team up to take on rival lawyer and overall sleazebag, Travis Tanner (Eric Close). While Tanner swears he’s a changed man, Harvey is also different from the last time they went at it, setting up an interesting—and hopefully final—showdown.

Remember those endless nights playing Mario Kart when you would have tournaments until 2AM? Do you recall how it felt beating your friends and knowing you were the best? What if I told you people are actually getting paid (yes, paid) for doing that very same thing with their favorite games?…

We had the opportunity to meet with the cast and writers from The Vampire Diaries. We quickly learn fans should expect a more adult and darker tone of the show.
We first had the chance to talk to Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore) who joins the press roundtable with some significant news. This could possibly be the last season of the show!

As I step into the San Diego Comic Con The Vampire Diaries press room, my mind is full of questions. After a dramatic finale last season, what really awaits us in the upcoming seventh season? Fans of The Vampire Diaries should not expect Mystic Falls to be a happy place.

With my covering Vikings for the past four years, its evident the cast enjoys their annual visit to Comic Con. Their appearances have become one of my most anticipated events during the busy convention, and the entire cast takes the time to show their appreciation to their fans. This year, there wasn’t a formal press room but I had the opportunity to attend the panel. Here are my key highlights, and the session was so much fun that I nearly felt as if I was attending a celebration in Kattegat’s great hall.

There is a lot happening in Chester’s Mill during the third season of Under the Dome! I was delighted to catch up with some of the show’s cast during the CBS press event at this year’s San Diego Comic Con.

Going into this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, iZombie had already aired its first season finale, leaving fans wondering how things will play out in the upcoming second season. Normally, talking to executive producers is either informative and fun or painstakingly brutal. I absolutely adore Rob Thomas and Diane Ruggerio-Wright, both of whom are also writers on iZombie. Their fun chemistry and collaborative friendship lend to the smart, sarcastic, and entertaining dialogue the cast of the show gets to act out each week.

Writer William Wheeler provides the audience with interesting and sharp dialogue in “Ding,” while director Ed Bianchi’s expert use of camera angles, lighting, shot choices, and overall direction of the actors are what make this episode special.

The CBS press room at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con could easily be described as a bit of a zoo; perhaps it’s a simple coincidence that Zoo is also the name of one of CBS’ new summer series. I don’t think I’ve ever been inside a press room that included so many different shows—Limitless, Under the Dome, Zoo, Scorpion, and Extant. While I didn’t get to talk to each show’s actors or even the executive producers, there were several interviews I did get that really impressed me, as follows.
