剧情信息

● ABC家庭频道公布了《美少女的谎言》(Pretty Little Liars)衍生剧《鸦林镇》(Ravenswood)的主要角色细节。该剧描述五个陌生人被困扰鸦林镇多年的神秘诅咒联系在一起,他们必须详细调查小镇的历史并阻止悲剧事件继续发生。主人公Miranda是一位活跃果敢、拥有个人魅力的17岁少女,在收养家庭长大,个性独立,充满自信,但她的生活并不容易。她用智慧来掩盖情感伤疤。如果你能让这位强硬的女孩对你敞开心扉,你将得到一个一生忠诚的朋友。Abel是一位17岁少年,英俊健美,但是为人像一头独狼。他可能是个潜在的危险分子,但也有可能他竭力用这种令人敬而远之的外表来掩盖内心的伤。你很难得到他的信任,可一旦他真的信任你,他绝不会让你失望。Olivia是Abel的双胞胎姐妹,曾经是校园舞会皇后,但因为最近发生一件丢脸的事情而名誉扫地。她过去无忧无虑,现在却时常考虑人生孰轻孰重。她过去的朋友纷纷背叛她,她不知道谁才是她真正的朋友。

● 已证实《行尸走肉》(The Walking Dead)第四季将新增一个名叫Roy Stark的新角色。他曾是军队里的战地急救员,深受过去的不幸事件困扰(包括僵尸危机发生之前和之后的事情)。他是一头独狼——虽然他拥有迷人、谦逊、自信的外表。他的年纪大约在30岁出头-40岁之间。或许这个角色就是漫画书中的Abraham?

此外该剧的制片人暗示Laurie Holden扮演的Andrea今后仍有可能通过回忆或「潜意识」(就像Rick看见Lori一样)的方式出现:

“[There’s] definitely some room to [further explore] the relationship between Michonne and Andrea. It’s always a possibility.”

● BBC在确认《神秘博士》(Doctor Who)50周年特别纪念节目的主要演员阵容(Matt Smith、Jenna-Louise Coleman、David Tennant、Billie Piper、John Hurt和Joanna Page)后又确认了主要的反派角色:阴险恶毒的变形怪「Zygons」。它们最先出现在第四任博士时期(《Terror of the Zygons》),后来在2010年《The Pandorica Opens》中再次出现。在《The Power of Three》中,剧情透露他们有一艘飞船藏在1980年萨瓦旅馆之下,一半的旅馆员工被这种变形怪「冒名顶替」。

● 《混乱之子》(Sons of Anarchy)的制片人暗示Jax可能已经放弃了脱离家族生意的幻想:

“I think Jax has made the decision, ‘This is my life, this is what I’m supposed to be doing, but can I do it the right way? Can I get us out of guns? Can I go legit?. He’s at the same precipice his dad was at 25 years ago. It’s not so much about getting out but, ‘Can I make it less dangerous and keep people safe? Can I keep my family whole?’ That’s the shift that has happened.”

● 当《飞跃比佛利》(90210)大结局的时候,一个重要角色将被查出患有癌症。

● 据称《复仇》(Revenge)中Victoria的第一个儿子可能要到下一季才会露面。

● 《懵懂少女》(Awkward):Jenna和Matty继续维持「正式男女朋友」关系,但Matty的家庭生活就没那么快乐了。“You get to learn more about Matty this year in his home life. He’s not as happy as people may think.”

● 编剧在解释《实习医生格蕾》(Grey’s Anatomy)本季倒数第三集《Do You Believe in Magic》时这样说:“…an exploration of magic…The magic of medicine, and also the magic of romance and the ways in which the revelation of a secret can play both as a blessing or a curse.” 本季最后两集将描述同一个故事,可被看做一个超长季终集的上下两部分。

● 制片人称《美国谍梦》(The Americans)第一季季终集将提到80年代著名的「星球大战计划」。当时它被称作「战略防御计划」(Strategic Defense)或者「反弹道导弹防御计划」(Anti-Ballistic Missile Program),后来的人才称呼它「星球大战计划」。

● 《欲海医心》(Royal Pains):Paige将面试一份实习工作,她的老板(多集角色)极为挑剔。当他第一次见到Paige时,把她上下打量了一番,翻了翻眼睛:“Oh, that’s right… you’re a woman.”

● 《识骨寻踪》(Bones):当Pelant出现在季终集时,他身边多了一个可怕的帮凶!

档期与时间

● 演员Jeffrey Donovan称《火线警告》(Burn Notice)第七季将于6月6日播出,6月13日该剧将播出第100集。

其他信息

● 对于上周日《傲骨贤妻》(The Good Wife)中的《吸血鬼日记》(The Vampire Diaries)同人小说,该剧的制片人Robert King做了如下解释:

“We know [TVD exec producer] Kevin Williamson through Writers Guild things, and we think he’s wonderful. And we also thought he’d be fine with a reference to the show’s fan fiction. We obviously wanted something that seemed ludicrous and out-of-character for Diane to be doing. We tried two other things: Sons of Anarchy fan fiction and incestuous fan fiction for Supernatural.”

● Netflix证实他们会按照《权力场》(House of Cards)的方式播出《毒林》(Hemlock Grove):在4月19日这天同时公开所有13集的在线视频。如果你看了昨天本站的片花,应该知道这部恐怖剧中会有超自然生物(至少是狼人)。

● E4证实《Misfits》终结季(第五季)包含8集。

● Torrent Freak称《权力的游戏》(Game of Thrones)3×01创该站盗版下载记录,最高时有16.3088万人同时分享一个种子,两天之内的下载量可能超过100万——这还只是众多公共种子站点中的一例而已。

● 今天我看到一篇非常有意思的文章:《Killer Karaoke》(《美国偶像》与《恐惧元素》的合体)这样的电视真人秀本质上是现行资本主义经济的缩影。我想这个观点对正在做影视研究的人应该有所启发(你可以把这个观点当毕业论文,我保证以前没人这么写过)。

Drew Gardner views reality TV shows like Killer Karaoke – “essentially a mash-up of American Idol and Fear Factor” – as microcosms of the current capitalist economy:

Capitalist economic systems require one central point of internal logic for them to function; in order to constantly expand profits, workers must be paid less than the value their work creates, ideally as little as possible, as little as the labor market will bear. In classical economic theory, new value only comes from one place, labor. In order to concentrate wealth for owners, shareholders and managers, this surplus value is then concentrated into financial instruments and forms of rent that charge the workers who created the value in the first place. It is a parasitic relationship.

Reality TV contestants are an excellent object for this kind of relationship, because they are a disposable, easily replaced group of workers. Because their working conditions are not regulated by the Screen Actor’s Guild, contestants can work unusually long hours. … Most agree to work for food and shelter during the time they are being filmed, in hopes that the exposure might lead to some future opportunity, if not just for the sheer narcissistic reward of appearing on television.

Alyssa Rosenberg adds:

Hotels, big-box stores, and other employers that rely heavily on low-wage workers increasingly seem to have tested, and found, the floor for what they can ask employees to do and still find a steady stream of labor without provoking union organizing drives. But unlike reality television, low-wage American jobs were never going to offer massive prizes to a few workers to defuse more general discontent about compensation and working conditions. In the lottery that is the American economy, if you promise millions of dollars to a single person, you’ll be able to take many millions more from even those who know they’re getting played for suckers—particularly if you’re asking them to participate in one bad subset of the economy because the one they long to escape is worse.
