The only light in the badlands known as Saturday night television is the SyFy Channel’s mostly terrible, but campy Saturday Night Movies. Tonight (Saturday, May 5th) they debut their latest, a four hour retailing of the Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic, Treasure Island.
Last week, Eureka’s Co-Creator, Jamie Paglia and star, Colin Ferguson, took some time to chat with a group of bloggers/journalists about the series’ final season, which premieres this evening on Syfy [9/8C]. The two were their usual charming, witty, goofy selves, though there was a bit of an undercurrent of sadness with The End looming in just a few short weeks – in spite of the show growing its audience, year-to-year, every season so far in its run – along with their joy at being able to let fans see what they think is the best season of the series yet.

Earlier this week, Cleve Hall, Constance Hall and Roy Knyrim took some time to discuss their work and their new reality series, Monster Man [Syfy, Wednesdays, 10/9C], with a host of journalists/bloggers.
Between them, the three have over seventy-five years of experience in creating make-up and practical monster effects. If that wasn’t enough to prove they love their work, then the following definitely is.

Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic swashbuckler, Treasure Island, comes to Syfy on May 5th as a one night, four-hour special event. The RHI Entertainment production stars Eddie Izzard as Long John Silver, Elijah Wood as Ben Gunn and Donald Sutherland as Flint. Tony Regbo [the Harry Potter films] is young Jim Hawkins.

Many of Eclipse’s readers will remember Dichen Lachman for her stellar work as Sierra in Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse. Now Lachman is returning to television as the new boss in Boston on tonight’s episode of Syfy’s Being Human [Mondays, 9/8C].
In a conference call on Friday, Lachman talked about her character, Suren’s past with Aidan and how the two will be affected by having to work together now; how Being Human has enabled her to be in a period piece, and why she feels she’s found a special niche for her talents in genre TV and movies.

In honor of the manner in which Syfy’s Being Human [Mondays, /89C] is departing from the Being Human UK map and striking of on its own, Stars Sam Huntington, Sam Witwer and Meaghan Rath took part in a conference call with a number of reporters/bloggers.
As with last season’s call, the unique chemistry the three share came through clearly – as did their somewhat off-center sense of humor. It short, everyone who took parts – at either end of the connection – had a lot of fun. Despite the ‘technical difficulties’ that caused a bit of a delay, the Q&A remains relevant because the trio didn’t just talk about second season premiere. Enjoy.

Syfy has greenlighted the two-hour pilot, Rewind – a thriller revolving around a team of military field operatives and civilian scientists who must use untested technology to travel back in time to alter past events in order to change the future and avoid a devastating terrorist attack.
Sounds a bit like 7 Days, to me – but it’s from BermanBraun, the guys who gave us the much better than expected Alphas, so I’m curious to see what they do with the idea. Since it’s a two-hour pilot, even if it doesn’t go to series, there’s a very real chance Syfy will air it anyway – like they did with the fun superhero riff, Three Inches, a few weeks back.
Check out the full press release following the jump.
