PERSON OF INTEREST: Jonathan Nolan on Carter’s ‘Return,’ the Mystery of Reese, and More

This week’s new episode of PERSON OF INTEREST is an emotional hour, as Reese sets out to solve a case Carter was never able to close before her untimely death.

“One of the fun things of our show is the opportunity to tell big stories about how technology is changing our lives, and the planet around us,” PERSON OF INTEREST creator Jonathan Nolan noted. “But now Reese is pretending to be a New York City police officer, [and] his day job pulls him into some more grounded, dark, emotional landscapes. In this case, it’s the story of a murder of a family that Carter began investigating a few years beforehand. It’s a cold case where the main suspect has fled the country. He’s now come back to the country, the Machine has given us his number, and it’s an opportunity for Reese to pick up where Carter left off in trying to solve this mystery. But the episode really is about more than the case; it’s about the mystery of who is Reese? Who is he really?”

As the show underwent its deep-dive into Reese’s mindset, the flashbacks also allowed the series to use Taraji P. Henson (Carter) — who has been having a busy year between EMPIRE and her SNL hosting gig this past weekend — for the first time since her 2013 exit.

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE: Taraji P. Henson’s Cookie Visits SESAME STREET

EMPIRE’s Taraji P. Henson has been one of the big breakout stars this television season, and naturally, when she hosted SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, they had her portray her character Cookie Lyon. But since the show recently did an EMPIRE parody, SNL did the next best thing for Henson’s episode: they brought Cookie to SESAME STREET. And it was amazing.

THE FOLLOWING Exclusive Sneak Peek: Producers, Michael Ealy Tease Theo and Ryan Meeting

Things are heating up for THE FOLLOWING’s newest big bad, Theo.

In the exclusive video preview of this Monday’s new hour, “Flesh & Blood,” (below) co-showrunner Alexi Hawley shared, “Episode 8 is a big moment in the hunt for Theo…and he ultimately ends up having to scramble to keep us away from him during the course of the episode.”

“He’s created this whole life that is sort of perfect,” co-showrunner Brett Mahoney added. “And that’s why he truly resents Ryan getting on to him. No one has really done this before.”

Additionally, we’ll get to see a bit of parallels between the two as they have to deal with pressures outside of the chase: Theo has to throw a party for his wife, while Ryan has to attend a dinner party with his girlfriend. But those external forces won’t compare to the real explosive moment of the hour: when Ryan and Theo have their first “meeting.”

“The episode where Ryan and Theo meet, that’s where the fireworks will begin,” Michael Ealy (Theo) teased. “It’s a smart chess match between the two.”

Check out the video for more teases, and a little glimpse at what’s to come…

But how will they fare? At WonderCon, creator/star Will Forte (Phil) and executive producers Chris Miller and Phil Lord were fairly coy…but pretty hilarious in their vagueness.

Take a look…

BACKSTROM Recap: ‘Love is a Rose and You Better Not Pick It’

Hello BACKSTROM fans! It’s hard to believe we are in the final half of season 1. I have to say that the past couple of episodes, including this one — “Love is a Rose and You Better Not Pick It” — have been great, and the show’s style has been more successful lately. I would be glad to see this show renewed for a second season. Until any announcement has been made one way or the other, let’s discuss this episode! Read more

BONES Recap: ‘The Baker in the Bits’

Hello BONES fans! It’s not often that we get to see an episode’s victim face his or her death, but that is just what happened in this episode, “The Baker in the Bits.” And those events led to others that (I think/hope) signal the beginning of a new serial killer type-arc on the show. There’s a lot to discuss, so let’s get to it! Read more

THE COMEDIANS: Stephnie Weir on FX’s New Meta Comedy

FX is going meta with its newest comedy series.

THE COMEDIANS — which debuts tonight at 10 PM — follows Billy Crystal and Josh Gad, who play fictionalized versions of themselves, as they team up to work on a new FX comedy series. In the show, the duo don’t exactly mesh, and everyone around them struggles to put on a semi-decent show.

On the frontline of the madness is Kristen (played by Stephnie Weir), the fictional show’s producer, who is dealing with expectations from her stars, the network, and her own issues.

I spoke with Weir about the series, how her own writing background has impacted her acting, and more… Read more
