福尔摩斯：基本演绎法第四季

　　Chief Inspector Jules Maigret, the invention of former crime reporter turned prolific author Georges Simenon, inhabits a vividly realized Paris not often seen on camera that takes us from the glitzy upper-class world of luxury hotels and mansions to local bourgeois bistros and bars and the underground haunts of the professionally criminal

　　In 2262, Earthforce Captain Elizabeth Lochley is appointed to command Babylon 5. The station grows in its role as a sanctuary for rogue telepaths running from the Psi Corps, resulting in conflict. G'Kar, former Narn ambassador to Babylon 5, becomes unwillingly a spiritual icon after a book is published that he wrote while incarcerated during the Narn-Centauri War. The Drakh, former allies of the Shadows who remained in the galaxy, take control of Regent Virini on Centauri Prime through a parasitic creature called a Keeper, then incite a war between the Centauri and the Interstellar Alliance, in order to isolate the Centauri from the Alliance and gain a malleable homeworld for themselves.
　　Centauri Prime is devastated by Narn and Drazi warships and Londo Mollari becomes emperor, accepting a Drakh Keeper under threat of the complete nuclear destruction of the planet. (Portions of the end of his reign are seen in various prescient visions throughout the series; they show Mollari and former nemesis (and later friend) G'Kar sixteen years in the future dying at each other's throats, seemingly out of their grudge. It is gradually revealed that there was a much more friendly subtext, with Mollari having become a slave to the drakh rule and being tired of life; his Drakh Keeper awakens and strangles G'Kar in return. Vir Cotto, Mollari's loyal and more moral aide, succeeds him as emperor, free of Drakh influence. Sheridan and Delenn marry and move to Minbar, along with the headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance. G'Kar leaves Babylon 5 to escape his unwanted fame and explore the rim. Garibaldi also marries and settles down on Mars. Most of the other main characters leave B5.
　　Nineteen years later on the verge of death, Sheridan takes a final trip to the obsolete Babylon 5 station before its decommissioning. Sheridan apparently dies but is claimed by the First Ones, who invite him to join them on a journey beyond the rim of the galaxy. Babylon 5 station is destroyed in a demolition shortly after Sheridan's departure, its existence no longer necessary as the Alliance has taken over its diplomatic purposes. This final episode features a cameo by Straczynski as the technician who switches off the lights before Babylon 5 is demolished.

　　think the show has potential.
　　
　　It has a good story line so far. It will be interesting to see the story progress as the season continues. I like the actors playing Krista and Marcus. They have nice chemistry.
　　
　　However, the actor playing Blade needs a little work. He's trying too hard to duplicate Wesley Snipes, making it difficult to understand his lines. Maybe he needs to enunciate or maybe it's just hard for him to speak with fangs...? Either way, he needs a speech coach.
　　
　　All in all it's a good show if you're a fan of vampire movies or Buffy/Angel type shows.

　　Agents of Chaos, a two-part documentary from director Alex Gibney (HBO’s The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley and Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief) examines Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Featuring interviews with key players and experts, classified information leaked by inside sources, and more, the film disentangles the complex details of Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and highlights the frightening vulnerabilities in America’s political process.
　　The film is a product of years of reporting. With never-before-seen footage inside the Russian troll farms, and videos unearthed from the Russian deep web, the film digs deep into Russia’s sophisticated plans to undermine democracy, raising the alarm for the American public, but also proving that these “agents of chaos” weren’t Russians alone; they were also key players in the United States who, through venality, corruption or circumstance, furthered Putin’s goals, with a vulnerable and unsuspecting American public as their target.

　　NBC管理层盛赞该剧是NBC十年来「最强的一部新剧」，并对其前景十分看好。
　　几十年来，绰号「红魔」（Red）的前军事情报官员Raymond Reddington一直是联邦调查局通缉犯名单上的重要人物。他为全世界形形色色的罪犯代办各种交易，撮合非法生意，被人们称作「犯罪世界的管理员」。然而令人大跌眼镜的是，他竟然主动向从来没有抓住过他的联邦调查局「自首」，并提出一个神秘但是惊人的条件：他愿意帮助联邦政府抓住所有人都认为早就死了的恐怖分子Ranko Zamani，但他只和一个联邦探员对话——Elizabeth “Liz” Keen（Megan Boone），一位刚刚结束训练成为联邦调查局初级分析师的「菜鸟」。Liz被这突如其来的情况搞得一头雾水——这可是她第一天上班啊！

　　Las Vegas PD detective Max Dillon first arrests Danny, who learns DElinda is pregnant, of killing still missing Mary's dad, alone or with her, until Mitch and Mike prove there must be another suspect. Sam survives her kidnapping by dumping Vince Peterson in flight. Her disloyal attempt to recruit whales as investors fro the Montecito is fruitless, and late since gloomy cowboy Cooper already paid the tax arrear.

　　或许有不少朋友会抱怨《绯闻女孩 Gossip Girl》第二季结束得甚是匆忙，但不管怎样有一点Josh却处理得相当成功，那就是本季结局留下了诸多悬念和足够的噱头，Chuck和Blair的爱情长跑是否已经修成正果？“小魔女”Georgina是否会掀起新一轮“血雨腥风”？当然GG粉们或许只有等到九月剧集回归才能得知确切答案。不过幸运的是，对于那些已然等之不及的朋友来说，《绯闻女孩 Gossip Girl》的主演们还是给我们带来了一些有关第三季的剧透。
　　大家最想知道的应该就是Chuck和Blair这对目前最受欢迎情侣档的前景吧，当那三个掷地有声的字被反复说出后，事情将会如何发展？
　　在剧中扮演Blair一角的Leighton Meester称自己也不确定前路会有什么在等待着这对刚刚携手的情侣，不过曲折和纠结只怕在所难免。
　　“就我个人而言，当然是很希望他们俩能在一起，但有一点却不得不承认，Chuck和Blair这一对之所以如此受欢迎不正是因为他们俩曾经的若即若离带来的强大化学效应吗？” Leighton接着说道，“CB手牵手，一起看电影，再配上点爆米花。这一切听起来是不是不怎么真实，甚至有些幻灭？当然轰轰烈烈，一波三折的爱情只怕大多都是捏造出来的，不过随之而来的效应不正是剧集所需要的嘛。”
　　另外，主演Blake Lively和Leighton Meester均一致认为“小魔女”Georgina的回归会给Chuck和Blaire的未来蒙上阴影。
　　“Chuck和Blair终于走到了一起，但同时手段了得的Georgina也告别了上帝，背负着难以抑制的复仇欲强势归来，只怕一场新的复仇大战即将上演。”
　　当然喜欢“BC配”且不再希望被“折腾”的粉丝们也不用过于担忧，因为其实，时至今日Georgina的扮演者Michelle Trachtenberg是否会在第三季中回归或者是否会有足够戏份闹个“天翻地覆”尚未可知，这位前《吸血鬼猎人巴菲 Buffy The Vampire Slayer》女星目前已加盟NBC电视网最新医务剧《Mercy》，而该剧已获NBC预定，将于今秋播出。
　　与此同时，Meester还爆出了另一则重磅消息，或许又将在上东区激起不小的波澜：“有几位演员要去上大学了，我不知道他们是否还会留下来。”难道这意味着有人将要离开《绯闻女孩Gossip Girl》剧组？
　　另悉，刚刚在季末现身的Dan和Serena同父异母/同母异父的兄弟Scott可能也不是什么“省油的灯”，他飘忽不定的眼神里是否充满了故事，别忘记他也姓Humphrey。他的出现会在Lily和Rufus之间掀起怎样的轩然大波，又会给“不甘寂寞”的上东区带来怎样的“惊喜”？
　　最后还不得不再补充一点，那就是在第三季中将有一位一直相当出彩抢镜的演员戏份将增加，她就是“迷”一般的Dorota，目前为止，Blair的这位操一口波兰语的女仆看上去完全受控于Blair，对Blair忠心不二，不过透过Dorota那看起来顺从无比的眼神，是否看到了一丝扑朔迷离？

　　《柯南与凯尔》系列的第四季。
　　Kenan & Kel is an American television sitcom that aired on Nickelodeon from 1996 to 2000. The show starred comedy duo Kenan Thompson an d Kel Mitchell. Sixty-one episodes and a TV Movie were produced over four seasons. The first two seasons were filmed at Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando, Florida and the following seasons were filmed at the Nick On Sunset theater in Hollywood. All episodes are now reruns currently seen on The N and Nickelodeon UK, though the show is presently off The N's schedule.

　　本剧集是BBC 2台2000年正式推出的以青年人为题材和对象的系列情景喜剧，创意和编剧均由Steven Moffat一人担当。三男三女的主要人物构成很容易使人联想到当时正走红（其实已经在走下坡路）的《Friends》，因此很有不少根本没看过本剧的媒体人士和评论家想当然地将本剧称作英国版的《Friends》，而在那些有幸欣赏过本剧的观众们看来，《Coupling》在情节设定、人物表演、喜剧元素的设计和表现等诸多方面所达到的水平，要比《Friends》高几个档次。相比之下，《Friends》只能说是一部“业余”水平的好作品而已。当然总体来说，英剧的水准本身就高于美剧，这和英剧注意保持创意、编剧一体化是分不开的，美剧的创意一般也就为最初几集编剧，以后主要的编剧工作都是由其它编剧根据最初的角色设定来自由发挥，编剧队伍的构成也是不断变化，老的走新的来，造成美剧情节连贯性差甚至前后矛盾，故事往往缺乏深度，人物性格平面化，缺少发展。这都是题外话了。《Coupling》的主要人物包括优柔寡断、性格不成熟的帅哥Steve，Steve的莫逆之交、举止语言古怪、总也找不到女友的Jeff，头脑简单、外表性感的“donkey” Patrick三位对Porn、特别是lesbian porn非常热中的男士，以及Steve的前女友、神神叨叨、擅用性感作武器的Jane，Steve的继任女友、Jeff的同事、曾经非常“不羁”（包括和Jeff还有Patrick）过的Susan，Susan的莫逆、对衰老和肥胖极度敏感的美容师Sally三位女士。本剧的主线包括Steve和 Susan之间逐渐正式起来的关系，Jeff寻找艳遇过程中的种种意外以及后来和上司发展出来的一段关系，Patrick和Sally之间若有若无到若即若离再到情深难舍的感情发展，还有Jane在事业和异性关系中的各种奇事，等等。本剧在情节设计中所达到的精致和完美程度让人叹为观止，而六位当时并不算大明星的青年演员的所展现精湛演技更是具有顶尖演员的水平，无怪乎播出之后立刻走红大洋两岸，在IMDB、AMAZON和BBC网站可以领略到其受欢迎的程度。

　　HBO宣布续订尚在播放首季的太空喜剧《#第五大道# Avenue 5》第二季，《第五大道》由《副总统 Veep》主创Armando Iannucci负责开发，Hugh Laurie饰演太空船「第五大道」的船长Ryan Clark。
