This story assumes that Doctor Weir was mind-probed by the Asurans following her capture at the beginning of season four. During the probe, the incident she recalls is set during season three, after Common Ground and prior to First Strike.


Synopsis

“This planet that you love so much... If you were not hidden, it would not exist, or at least not like this.”

When Sheppard’s team encounter a culture with phase shift technology that keeps their entire population invisible - and immaterial - to the outside world, it looks like Atlantis might have found the perfect protection from the Wraith. Eager to make a trade for the technology, Doctor Weir embarks on a diplomatic mission to negotiate with the people of Lannavulin. But once there, it becomes apparent that not everyone is happy with the planet’s status quo...

Supernatural Looks To Year Four



Sera Gamble, producer of The CW's Supernatural, told SCI FI Wire that the writers are brimming with story possibilities for the show's upcoming fourth season, which The CW recently announced.

"[Series creator and executive producer] Eric [Kripke] has some really strong ideas for how to expand the mythology next season," Gamble said in an interview. "We've been pitching ideas to each other that have [gotten] everybody really excited. ... First, we got deeply philosophical, and then we went back to 'Hey, how can we chop a bunch of people's heads off with these ideas?' [laughs]"

Gamble added that the early pickup by The CW means that the writers can set things up as the third season winds down. "We're especially excited that we heard about the pickup early enough that we can start working on what we're going to be doing at the beginning of next season now so we can thread some things in," she said.

The current third season, which was interrupted by the recently settled writers' strike, concentrated on the battle by Sam and Dean Winchester (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles) against the demon army unleashed at the end of the previous year. Meanwhile, the season is building to a resolution of Dean's dilemma: He struck a deal with a demon to trade his soul for Sam's life. He has only a year to live.



**snippage**

The third season will resume with new episodes, starting in late April, building to the season finale, written by Kripke, in which Dean must face the deal he struck with a demon to save Sam's life. The strike-shortened season has caused the writers to abbreviate some of the planned stories, but Dean's fate will remain front and center as the season comes to a close, Gamble said, offering a few spoilers.

Nim's Island - SciFi Weekly: Interviews with Jodie Foster, Abigail Breslin

INTERVIEWS

March 31, 2008

Jodie Foster and Abigail Breslin play tour guides to Nim's Island as the novel leaps from page to screen


By Mike Szymanski


Jodie Foster doesn't think she's too funny, but after her son came home and raved about the book Nim's Island, the two-time Oscar winner fought to be in the film version of the slapstick family fantasy comedy.

The adaptation of the popular children's book by Wendy Orr follows the story of a girl named Nim (played by Abigail Breslin) who lives on an island with her father (Gerard Butler) and who disappears. She seeks the help of the reclusive author (played by Foster) who created an action hero through her writings.

At a small press conference at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif., Foster, Breslin, co-directors Jennifer Flackett and Mark Levin and producer and co-screenwriter Paul Mazur each had separate interviews about the making of the film and working with the sea lions, lizards, pelicans and other animals in the fantasy adventure movie. The film opens nationwide on April 4.


Q: Jodie Foster, can you talk about what attracted you to this project? Was it the comedy aspect?

Foster: "Yeah, I've been wanting to do a comedy for a long time, actually, and Maverick was such a great experience. I really enjoyed it, and lightness is a part of life, too. You're not all just darkness. But I couldn't find anything that was good enough, and I read this script and kept banging on doors and lobbying for it. They had a different arrangement with the studio at that time, and they were not keen on me at all—understandably, because they know me for my dark dramas."

**snippage**

Q: Abigail Breslin, what was the best part of this for you?

Breslin: "Getting to work with all the animals. I have two dogs, two cats and a turtle."


Q: So sea lions and lizards and birds—that's different. So what was that like?

Breslin: It was really, really fun. They were all really nice, so it was fun. I had to train a bit. I had to do training with the animals, and I had to do training for the stunts."

**snippage**

Q: Mark Levin and Jennifer Flackett, how as directors do you have a division of labor? And how was it for you, Paula Mazur, as the producer?


Levin: "We do everything side by side, really, all the way through the process. I mean, we sit down, we write together, we sit beside each other for every conversation and by now it's become pretty amorphous, how we divide things. I might have a slightly more technical bent than Jen but, for the most part, we really just do everything together. I mean, it's kind of bizarre, the amount of time that we spend together."


Flackett: "But it's a great thing to have that partner who you can talk to at any point. And we always say the conversation never stops, much to the chagrin of our children. There's a lot of, "Can't you talk about something besides the movie?"

'The X-Files'

By James Hibberd



"The X-Files" ended its run on Fox six years ago, but its writers and producers can still grouse about working on the show like it was yesterday.

The Paley Festival session on the long-running hit series featured a dozen members of the cast and crew. The overall theme of the evening was that working "The X-Files" was very hard. In terms of news value, the panel was trapped in an “X-Files”-esque netherworld: The TV show is yester-decade's news, while this summer's new "X-Files" movie is of very high interest. Yet creator Chris Carter is naturally unwilling to give any spoilers. The panel moderator -- Variety deputy editor Cynthia Littleton -- is thus charged with the tricky task of either asking about a series that's been endlessly discussed, or asking about a movie that cannot be discussed. Plus, charismatic leads David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson did not attend. So, again, tricky.

Battlestar Galactica: Katee Sackhoff conference interview



With the fourth and final season of Galactica airing in the US next Friday, Starbuck actor Katee Sackhoff engages a gaggle of journalists for a long chat...

by Martin Anderson

"We've been told who the final Cylon is, and I personally don't believe it. I think that's something that's going to be kept to the very end."


At 1pm EST, Battlestar Galactica's Starbuck, actor Katee Sackhoff, gave a long interview to a host of journalists from print and web publications that included the New York Times, Redeye, Cablefax, Niagara Frontier Publications, Soap Opera Weekly, e-online and many more.

Geek was there, and even if a gremlin meant we didn't get to ask our late question (one per publication was allowed), Katee held forth on many topics...

When Starbuck was temporarily killed off last season, it seemed like it was clumsily handled, the issue of whether you were actually gone and the show’s reaction to it...looking back, do you wish it had been handled a little better or not mentioned at all? Is there anything you would have played differently?

KS: "I don’t know. I know that you can only keep a secret a secret for so long; I know that as soon as I showed back up at work that it was going to be on the internet. Also I do think they should have kept me out until the very end. I mean, bringing Starbuck back in episode 16…what the hell was that? Why not wait ‘til twenty? I guess in Ron’s mind, he had a bigger cliff-hanger, and to have a bigger cliff-hanger than Starbuck coming back from the dead…only Battlestar Galactica could pull that off. With the crew and the cast thinking…that was not something I’d like to do again, that’s for sure."

What do you think the impact of the show has had for the sci-fi genre?

KS: "Battlestar Galactica, for sci-fi was…they treated it like reality. That’s what has been so interesting about our show, that we never relied on science-fiction to drive the show. We relied on the drama and the human condition…those really important questions were what we depended on for the show to move it along. Most science-fiction shows rely way too much on the bells and whistles. I think it’s opened doors in science-fiction to realise that regardless of…science-fiction is just a setting. It’s not a show, it’s a setting. It should never have been what the show is."
