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.

After a successful first season, Syfy’s Being Human [Mondays, 9/8C] is changing direction in season two. Whereas the first season hewed closely to the original UK series in overall content – with a few tweaks and some deeper explorations of characters – season two is branching out in completely new directions.
Last week I had the opportunity to take part in a conference call with series creators and executive producers Anna Fricke and Jeremy Carver as they explained why they decided to branch off into new territory this season.

This evening, Syfy presents Christmas episodes for Eureka [8/7C], Warehouse 13 [9/8C] and, for the first time, Haven [10/9C]. Eureka’s Do You See What I See? is a slight bit of froth; Warehouse 13’s The Greatest Gift is a successful riff on It’s A Wonderful Life and Haven’s Silent Night is a genuinely unnerving tale of Christmas in July.

Say what you will about Nick Willing’s work in miniseries, they’re always something different. In Neverland [Syfy, Sunday, December 4th/Monday, December 5th, 9/8C], Willing takes a remarkable cast [Rhys Ifans, Charlie Rowe, Anna Friel, Bob Hoskins…] and tells the tale of how Peter and the Lost Boys came to be in Neverland; how a Fagin-like Jimmy became the pirate Captain Hook, and how Neverland became inhabited by pirates, Indians and fairies.
Recently, Willing, Ifans, Rowe and Friel talked with journalists/bloggers about the Peter Pan prequel. Here’s what they had to say.
