Comments Off on FRINGE: Jasika Nicole Teases ‘Making Angels’
FRINGE fans, if you think you were impatient for tonight’s Astrid-centric episode, you weren’t alone.
“I think that I had kind of become resigned in thinking that, you know, oh, Astrid is not going to get a big episode and that’s okay because it’s been such a lovely thing to be part of the show,” Jasika Nicole (Astrid) explained to reporters on a conference call earlier this week. “So anyway, I finally get the script and it is a heavy Astrid episode and not only just one Astrid but two Astrids. And then there’s like all of this emotional turmoil that’s going on within the story. So it was emotional on a lot of different levels.”

There’s a brand new episode of NIKITA tonight, and it seems like things are going to finally looking up for Percy. But, of course, if things are going well for him, that might not be so good for everyone else.
To try and get some teases about what’s to come, I hopped on the phone with Xander Berkeley (Percy) to see what he could share…
NBC’s Thursday Night Shuffle – THE FIRM Out; AWAKE In
February 3, 2012 by Kath Skerry
Filed under Awake, The Firm
There’s hardly a move that NBC makes these days that doesn’t feel reactionary or even desperate. With another under-performing show to deal with NBC must once again jostle its Thursday night schedule in the hopes of regaining a glimpse of the ratings of yesteryear.
This time around it’s THE FIRM that has fallen victim to lack of eyeballs, and thus the law thriller is being moved to Saturday nights at 9pm (shudder) beginning on February 11th. NBC’s new show AWAKE, starring Kyle Killen and Jason Issacs will take over the Thursday at 10pm time slot starting on March 1st.
So what’s the deal with AWAKE?
Police detective Michael Britten (Jason Isaacs) regains consciousness following a car accident involving his wife Hannah (Laura Allen) and his son Rex (Dylan Minnette). Michael moves back and forth between two realities: in one, Rex survived while Hannah is dead; in the other, Hannah survived but Rex did not. Trying to keep both his loved ones alive, Michael starts living a “double life,” moving back and forth between the two realities, dealing with different personal conflicts and police partners. He also starts noticing strange links between the two realities
Check out the trailer for AWAKE.
I know I’ll be tuning in…you?
