Burn Notice, "Lesser Evil": I guess this means we're not going to Disney World
by Alan Sepinwall/The Star-Ledger
Thursday March 05, 2009, 11:00 PM
Spoilers for the "Burn Notice" season two finale coming up just as soon as I ask On-Star for the nearest hardware store...
And so an outstanding season of "Burn Notice" comes to an appropriately outstanding ending...
... The finale takes care of both Carla and Victor, the former in one of those aforementioned "Hell yeah!" scenes (Fi was probably speaking for half the audience when she said, "Finally!" after putting a bullet in her), the latter in a moment that was deliberately the opposite of satisfying. Victor was introduced as Michael's opposite number -- just as competent, but crazy and overheated where Michael is cool and controlled -- and here we find out he's just another poor bastard who got a burn notice at a bad time, and the poor fortune to lose his family in the bargain. This could have been Michael, and he knows that, and that's why he hesitates so long before letting Victor help him pull the trigger. A great moment for Jeffrey Donovan and Michael Shanks.
... I just feel incredibly satisfied by this whole season, and I can't wait to see how things play out next season now that Michael's unquestionably a man without a country. Was Mahoney exaggerating about the threat level, or will we see his weekly missions constantly being disrupted by disgruntled former colleagues popping up to take a shot at Michael, Fi and Sam? And how long do we have to wait, anyway.
Bravo, "Burn Notice."
What did everybody else think?

Michael Shanks and Jeffrey Donovan
'Burn Notice' goes out with a bang and a splash
Mar 5, 2009, 11:05 PM | by Ken Tucker
... In an earlier post I'd complained about how the Carla/Victor stuff was getting in the way of Burn Notice's momentum -- snipping the satisfying snap of Michael's voiceovers, as he described tricks of the spy trade while we watch him craft weapons or execute bone-snapping punches and kicks. But last night, everything clicked into place. In an hour written by creator Matt Nix and directed by Tim Matheson (yes, the actor who must be weary of being credited as Animal House's Otter, and a darn good TV director), Michael united with his nemesis Victor (Michael Shanks) against his handler-against-his-will Carla (Tricia Helfer). We got some backstory -- Carla killed Victor's family, which is why he hates Carla -- but most of the time, we got the action we craved.
... So what did you think of the finale? Satisfied? Not?

TV Squad Ten: TV's hottest female non-humans
Posted Mar 5th 2009
by Mike Moody
Would I date a homicidal robot? Do I find a one-eyed cartoon mutant attractive? Is kissing a sexy demon worth losing years of my life?
Those were some of the questions I had to ask myself while writing this list.
There are many non-human women on TV – demons, vampires, machines and Real Housewives – but not all of them are hot. And what makes someone hot? I side with Stanley from The Office who once said that a "hot" woman should be healthy, sexy, pretty and strong. I'd also say that brains, maturity and passion should be in the mix -- even if that passion is for killing monsters or blowing up evil cyborgs. Click through for a list of the hottest robots, aliens and "abnormals" currently on TV.
... 9. Dr. Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping), Sanctuary
A super intelligent, immortal doctor who kicks evil ass and looks good in leather? She might be 157 years old, but Dr. Helen Magnus is definitely hot. I'm sure most Sanctuary fans would agree. Some might not consider Dr. Magnus a "non-human," but a normal person juiced up by vampire blood. But once you inject yourself with enough vampire blood to become indestructible and gain other super-human abilities, you're no longer human, you're an "abnormal."
Dr. Magnus is an admirable leader and she's committed to her cause – helping and protecting the misunderstood abnormals of the world. She's tough, mysterious and she's played by Amanda Tapping, already a geek sex symbol thanks to her years on the Stargate franchise.
... 5. Ashley Magnus (Emilie Ullerup), Sanctuary
Helen Magnus' abnormal daughter has a killer instinct – which she inherited from her pops, John Druitt, aka Jack the Ripper – that comes in handy when she's hunting monsters in tight leather outfits. Ashley has a lot in common with Buffy Summers. She's strong and fearless in battle, but she hides a vulnerable side from her friends and family. She's also a weapons expert and kind of a techie. I'm looking forward to seeing her recent turn to the dark side play out when season two premieres.

Michael Gingold News - DVD & Blu-Ray
The covers for several assorted DVDs we’ve told you about over the past few weeks have recently cropped up, and we figured we’d show them to you all in one place (i.e., below the cut). A new title has come up as well: LOST TREASURE OF THE GRAND CANYON, a Sci Fi Channel creature feature that Anchor Bay releases May 26.
In that movie, Shannen Doherty and Michael Shanks star as two of a group of archaeological researchers who travel deep into the titular natural landmark in search of the father of Doherty’s character. There they encounter not only an ancient tribe that likes to dabble in human sacrifice, but a mythical monster that also enjoys snacking on people. With no special features announced, the disc retails for $19.97 ...

Sanctuary - Writer's Guild of Canada Magazine: Damian Kindler Interview
At the Writer's Guild of Canada:
Their current Writer's Guild of Canada magazine has an article with the creator/writer of Sanctuary, Damian Kindler (his photo is on the magazine cover).
Taking Sanctuary: from Internet to TV
In 2006, revisiting a spec script he’d written a few years back, Damian Kindler decided to see where the web could take it. In the end, it took him right back to TV.
BY VERN SMITH
Damian Kindler’s sci-fi fantasy Sanctuary went from webcast to conventional television in two years. True, the original script, written as a spec sample in 2001, collected virtual dust for six years on a hard-drive until Kindler opened the file again in 2006. Kindler then took Sanctuary to the web and, before long, the coffee-breakers and the time-stealers watching online were hooked in real numbers.
Not that money was exchanging hands. Like many other artists to hit the web, Kindler’s work was getting downloaded free. Nobody was paying (well, except him and his partners). In hindsight, that’s the best Kindler should have expected. With files of all sorts bootlegged quickly, sales and encryption came to look like losing propositions. No, by the time Sanctuary hit the web, the only thing Kindler hoped for was enough freeloaders to make the networks say, hmm. Seems an estimated three- to four-million coffee-breakers and time-stealers gets that reaction. And he got their attention.
There was also potential for an ongoing story with fewer borders, both in terms of setting and viewers. Shot on a green screen with a red camera and virtual sets, Sanctuary has essentially gone from a well financed Do-It-Yourself production to an international hit, largely thanks to a running-start web push offering networks a new series with a built-in audience ready and wanting more.
Starring Amanda Tapping of Stargate SG-1, Sanctuary revolves around a hot 157-year-old, Dr. Helen Magnus, a scientist seeking to protect a secret population. Given that the internet also thrives on building secret and not-so-secret societies of people, the medium made sense as the venue in which to deliver the message. In 2006,Kindler was raising enough Burnaby dollars to bring it life, he just hadn’t quite figured out a way to make it a living, and draw cash-money from the web. With the world of online, Kindler says, “the ground is totally moving beneath your feet.”

“Nobody could have done anything as daunting and foolish,” says Kindler, pausing, adjusting the settings on his iPhone from BC–“okay, there.”
“In 2006, we hired a company to design some midlevel special effects to put together a five-minute tease. We had this little pipedream. You know, ‘If we can get enough people worldwide for something they can’t get on TV, there’s a potential business model.’”

Amanda Tapping is a busy woman. Not only is she the lead actress and Executive Producer on the hit show Sanctuary, but she still finds time to occasionally don Sam Carter's uniform. Despite Carter's departure from Stargate: Atlantis in the first episode of season five, she came back for the series finale. Shooting Sam's return during the show’s final week must have been bittersweet.

Despite Carter's departure from Stargate: Atlantis in the first episode of season five, she came back for the series finale. Shooting Sam's return during the show’s final week must have been bittersweet.
"I was there for the last day!" exclaimed the actress when we spoke just after the show wrapped. "I wasn’t there for the last shot, I have to be honest, because it’s a hard shot to watch. I had just wrapped Sanctuary, so I came off my new show and back on to Stargate: Atlantis, and I started feeling weird. It was sad. I was really shocked when it got canceled. The show was doing well, the episodes this season are really good, it was getting good ratings and everything was in place – it made sense to keep it going. They’re a great crew and I hope that they manage to keep a lot of that crew on for Universe."
