Sneak Peek - True Blood Panel Part III

Sneak Peek
A Taste of Season Two

Patricia Morris Buckley — Associate Staff Writer
pmb@thetwocentscorp.com


One of the thrills of the True Blood panel at the Paley Center April 13 had to be seeing a sneak peek of Season 2’s first episode (Thanks to E!online for the link!).

The scene is set in Bill’s car traveling down a dark Southern road. It looks as if a few weeks have passed since the S1 ender, because Sookie still has a bit of a black eye, but she has a slightly different hairstyle (curly).

You’d expect that a gathering to True Blood fans would bring out folks in cloaks and fangs. Nothing could be further from the truth. At the Paley Center panel for HBO’s True Blood, the most creative anyone got were a group of women in T-shirts that read “Bill’s Babe.”

EXCLUSIVE TwoCents and Five Questions With...

...Phil Keoghan, host/activist

After 14 season of the award-winning The Amazing Race, its host (and native New Zealander) Phil Keoghan has traveled to practically ever corner of the globe, experiencing different cultures, peoples, and (sometimes most frighteningly) cuisines.

This Spring, his focus is on the United States as he crosses this great land of ours on his trusty Specialized Transition. You read that right. He is biking from Los Angeles to New York in just over 40 days to raise awareness for the National MS Society, among other things.

I was lucky enough to catch up with him at one of his pits stops in my very own hometown to talk a little about the trip, the National MS Society, and (naturally) The Amazing Race.

TheTwoCents: What is the purpose of this great bike ride across the country, besides having the time of your life of course?

TwoCents and Five Questions With...

...Joss Whedon, Part 2!

Happy Dollhouse Friday! In a second chance to talk with the creator of such icons of pop culture as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly, we focused on the characters of Dollhouse… where they have been, where they are going, and how the heck they got involved in The Dollhouse in the first place.

TheTwoCents: Fans have been speculating about the possibility that staff members of The Dollhouse are possibly dolls themselves. Obviously, you can’t tell us yes or no, but is that something you’ve thought about yourself… about if the employees of a place like this would all be purely there?

TwoCents and Five (MILLION) Questions With...

...Ciji (StarSlay3r) from WCG Ultimate Gamer!

I was faced with a difficult task today, readers. My mission, should I choose to accept it, was to interview Ciji- my uber crush- from WCG Ultimate Gamer, one of the many shows I cover for our site, TheTwoCents. Even though this would be my first interview ever I was never one to turn down a challenge. So I accepted this mission, grabbed some paper, a pencil, my cell phone, channeled my inner Stephen Colbert and embarked on a journey of the fates over the telephone. My epic tale begins here- but where will it end? Well, you’ll just have to keep reading to find out.

TwoCents & Five Questions With...

... Michael Agbabian (Exec Producer), Joel Gourdin (Co-Host) - WCG Ultimate Gamer

In a dark underground bunker on March 9th, 2009 the SciFi channel hosted a conference call to discuss the series WCG Ultimate Gamer. The contents of this discussion were strictly classified, but I, your faithful TTC staff writer have obtained the TwoCents. I expose for you now some of the questions and the answers given by Michael Agbabian (Executive Producer) and Joel Gourdin (Co-Host).

Ok, so I am embellishing a little about the secrecy, but seriously, it was a fun interview and there’s some great new information here about what to expect from this season of WCG Ultimate Gamer on the SciFi channel! Enjoy!

Q: I wanted to know, you know, all the contestants, you know, between the males and the females, do you see a different - I guess just a difference in their competitiveness based by their gender?

Interview with AI8 Voted Off Alexis Grace

Alexis Grace Misses the Tour by One

Patricia Morris Buckley — Associate Staff Writer
pmb@thetwocentscorp.com

Alexis Grace had dreams of going on the American Idol Summer Tour and she missed it by just one spot. She and Megan (cough) Joy had even talked about their kids becoming friends while touring together.

But instead, she was eliminated after Country Week.

“I never imagined that I’d go home this early,” she said exactly 12 hours after being eliminated. “I thought I would last a little longer. I would have loved to go on tour, especially with those guys.”

TwoCents and Five Questions With...

...Eliza Dushku, Actor/Producer

Eliza Dushku is known to many as Faith in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer universe from the mind of Joss Whedon. Hoping that lightening strikes twice, Eliza and Joss have developed a new show, Dollhouse, in which she can play any role. Literally. As Echo, a member of a highly illegal and underground group of individuals who have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas, Eliza will be playing everything from a protector to a lover to, well, lets allow her to talk about it. We had the chance to sit down with her, and this is what she said...

Question: Can you talk about how the show has developed from that first meeting with Joss into what it actually became and what we’re going to see this season?

TwoCents and Five Questions With...

...Joss Whedon, Creator

Many hearts (mine included) skip a beat at the mere mention of the name “Joss Whedon.” An Emmy and Academy Award nominee, Whedon is one of Hollywood’s top talents, scripting several hit films and creating one of television’s most critically praised shows, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. After the cult success of Buffy, other mediums of entertainment were Whedonized. He is an accomplished composer, the creator behind several Dark Horse Comics graphic novels, and even the mastermind of the Internet sensation Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. It seems everything he touches turns to geeky-fan gold. TheTwoCents had a chance to sit down with Mr. Whedon to chat about his next adventure: Dollhouse.

Question: Can you tell us a little bit about the genesis of Dollhouse? What got you thinking about these characters in this world?

TwoCents and Five Questions With...

...Summer Glau, Actor, and Josh Friedman, Creator

Cameron is a Terminator sent from the future to protect John Connor and his family. Summer Glau is a classically trained ballerina who can kick some major butt on screen. Josh Friedman is the genius who brought the two together in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. TheTwoCents had the opportunity to sit down with Summer and Josh to chat about the character of Cameron, the fate of the show, and how dang hard it is to play a Terminator.

Question: Josh, what was it that you all initially saw in Summer that made you all go, “Yes, yes, she’s the right Cameron."

...Miss Piggy, actress

The long-awaited and brand-spanking new Muppets Christmas special, A Muppet Christmas: Letters to Santa, finally hits the airwaves tomorrow, Wednesday December 17th, at 8:00 EST on NBC. We were lucky enough to sit down with Miss Piggy (in all her glamorous, karate-chopping glory) and ask a few questions about her return to the small screen, working with the star-studded cast, and (of course) the frog.

TheTwoCents: Miss Piggy, how are things with you and Kermit these days?

TwoCents and Five Questions With...

...John Noble, Actor

Dr. Walter Bishop is crazy. But he is also very loveable (I, personally, want to buy him a Root Beer) and a sometimes bit scary (I would not want him to be my doctor), depending on the time of day you talk to him. John Noble plays Walter to a tee on the hit series Fringe, which airs Tuesdays on FOX at 9:00 PM EST. John took some time to sit down with us and talk about the show, his character, and, of course, Gene the Cow.

Question: How do you approach the character of Walter and how much fun is he to play?

TwoCents and Five Questions With...

...Anthony Edwards, Actor

In one of the most heart-wrenching story arcs in ER history, we watched as Dr. Mark Greene came to terms with his terminal cancer and passed away in the place of his birth with his wife and children at his side.

The story of ER was his story, and even though he entrusted the care of the ER to Dr. Carter when he left, the echoes of Dr. Greene’s humanity still ring through the halls of County General.

This Thursday, November 13th, Golden Globe winner and multiple Emmy Nominee Anthony Edwards will reprise his role of Dr. Greene in a special flashback episode titled "Heal Thyself." Recently, Edwards took some time to answer questions about the episode and share his TwoCents with readers...

Question: How surprised were you when people started to seriously say we can really do a good episode with [Dr. Greene]?
