We welcome back Longmire, then ask it to turn in its badge and gun

TOP PICK

Longmire

(A&E, 10 p.m.)


In its first year on the TV Club force, A&E’s Wyoming lawmen drama committed its fair share of infractions: its storytelling never moved much beyond its superficial crime procedural trappings to explore the show’s deeper themes, it totally wasted Katee Sackhoff as the deputy, and, worst of all, it never attracted much of an audience around these parts. As such, the head of TV Club Internal Affairs—or, as he’s known in civilian life, Zack Handlen—is placing the show on indefinite suspension, but his own sense of duty demands he check in on tonight’s second season premiere to file one last performance evaluation on an okay cop show that could have been so much more.

... PIRANHACONDA

Syfy, 8:00 p.m. ET


Want a truly brainless diversion for the holiday? This Syfy movie slipped by me when it premiered last year, starring Michael Madsen, the standout sadist of Reservoir Dogs, as the guy who has to go up against a giant snake with killer teeth... But you have to give props, if not propellers, to a snake that can down a helicopter in midflight. Similarly, you have to salute the folks at Syfy, for recognizing the idiotic purity of combining the names of two killer creatures to make a third. It’s not as easy a hybrid concoction as you might think. What’s possible for a follow-up film? Tarantulasaurus rex?

ADVOCATE: The A-List Interview: Katee Sackhoff

Proven by her butch roles in Battlestar Galactica, returning series Longmire, and the upcoming film Riddick, Katee Sackhoff is one tough act to follow. So why is she jealous of Katherine Heigl?

BY Brandon Voss
May 27 2013


A queer geek icon thanks to her role as cocky fighter pilot Starbuck on the cult Syfy series Battlestar Galactica, Katee Sackhoff is still kicking ass, now as Vic, a Wyoming deputy, on the A&E western Longmire, which returns May 27 for a second season. Back to deep space this fall in the action flick Riddick, the 33-year-old motorcyclist opens up about her dream to do rom-coms and dress like a hooker...

... Q: You’ve played tough, butch gals in Battlestar, Bionic Woman, 24, Longmire, and the upcoming Riddick. Is America not ready to see you all dolled up in a rom-com?


Katee Sackhoff: "I joke all the time that I needed to secure an audience first before going in a completely different direction. Playing tough characters just comes easy for me. It’s not who I am in real life, so I love going to work and pretending to be something I’m not. I love all the action and confidence. But when I finally go do a rom-com, I hope my fans will support me."

Q: Do you get jealous when you watch Katherine Heigl movies?

Katee Sackhoff: "I do! It’s crazy. My fiancé actually did a movie with Katherine, and every night he came home from work I’d be like, “I’m dying to do a romantic comedy!” I read YA novels constantly, so I really want to be in a young adult rom-com, but I worry that I’m aging into the parent role, which is a little scary..."

... THE SUMMER SEASON: Memorial Day used to be a quiet time for TV, but not so much anymore. A&E is launching new seasons of its popular procedurals on the Monday holiday: ... and the more substantial Longmire (10/9c), starring Robert Taylor as the stoic and rugged Wyoming sheriff Walt Longmire, of whom a prisoner observes, "You don't say much, but you have an unquiet mind." Not to mention a restless lone-wolf spirit, as he heads alone into the snowy wilderness to pursue a posse of escaped inmates, his search complicated by hallucinations and hypothermia.

Stargate Atlantis - GateWorld: Robert Picardo Interview

GATEWORLD: CODA

May 25, 2013
by Chad Colvin

Before showing up as a recurring character on Stargate SG-1 and later on joining the regular cast of the final season of Stargate Atlantis, actor Robert Picardo had already more than established his genre film and television credentials. Sure, most of us know that he spent seven years as the Emergency Medical Hologram on Star Trek: Voyager — but his industry credits stretch back more than 30 years with stints in horror and sci-fi projects like Gremlins II: The New Batch, InnerSpace, and the original Total Recall. In addition, he also has made his presence known in a wide array of more contemporary projects for television including period dramas like The Wonder Years and China Beach.

The Italian work ethic instilled in him growing up in Philadelphia extends to today, as Picardo remains extremely busy in both film and recurring TV roles — which makes the fact GateWorld finally caught up with him recently (both over the phone and as a guest during Creation Entertainment‘s Official Stargate Convention) all the more impressive.

In our exclusive chat with Robert Picardo, he discusses the current state of the Stargate franchise, why the character of Richard Woolsey connected with audiences, stepping back into that character shoes for SGU, the wide assortment of projects he’s attached to that have just released or are forthcoming, and more!

... GateWorld: I’ve brought this up in several of my interviews lately, and I’m very interested in your take on it. Last year was the first full year where there wasn’t any Stargate of any type on the television landscape at all. What are your thoughts about where the franchise is at now compared to just a few years back when it was really thriving?


Robert Picardo: "Well, we all know that MGM has had its financial woes which is why, I suppose, the franchise is in a state of suspended animation. I know that it’s a very valuable brand name. And that sooner or later MGM will have the available cash and the leadership to realize that they shouldn’t let such a valuable property go silent for much longer.

It is a … it’s really a shame. I was a big, big Universe fan. I know that … I know that Universe was very different from SG-1 and Atlantis. And that some of the fans didn’t initially take to it because it was so much less of a fourth wall show. Where there wasn’t that sort of characteristic “winking at the camera” kind of humor that was a trademark of the first two Stargate series. I think the fact that Richard Dean Anderson let the audience in on that tongue-in-cheek persona really established the first show.

So, I understand that it was a different kind of Stargate. But the cast was across the board great. I really enjoyed the storytelling. And I was sorry it didn’t get a bit longer time to prove itself.

Also, of course, I was disappointed that I only got to command the Atlantis expedition for the fifth and final year. I was hoping that since Woolsey had finally managed to slap himself into a leader that maybe he would get another season to kind of … to show how much he’d learned. But it was still a great ride. And a wonderful arc for that character who had been introduced as such an unpleasant and kind of colorless, unlikeable guy to really transform over the course of those years...
