● 《行尸走肉》(The Walking Dead)称第四季「会变得更加复杂」。僵尸有可能会再次「进化」——就像第二季僵尸的行动速度明显要比第一季快。此外,第四季有可能描述「人类自相残杀导致实力被削弱,僵尸乘虚而入」的故事。
● Billy Burke称《革命》(Revolution)第一季结局可能是个开放式结局,不是所有秘密都会得到解答:
No. Where we get to, by the end of this season, is great, but it opens up a completely different can of worms. So, we’re hoping that there’s a next [season].

档期与时间
● Netflix证实《发展受阻》(Arrested Development)的「复活版」短剧于5月26日播出,预订数由14集扩展为15集。在《当代家庭》出现之前,《发展受阻》是公认的最优秀的「多代同堂」、「多主角」的家庭情景喜剧——它的口碑比《当代家庭》好得多,但是收视率从来没有达到后者的水平(一半的水平都没有)。

其他信息
● AMC闹笑话了……AMC在《纽约时报》(New York Times)上刊登整版彩色广告来宣布《行尸走肉》(The Walking Dead)是电视节目收视之王,结果……他们把竞争对手《好声音》(The Voice)和《当代家庭》(Modern Family)的东家给搞错了……AMC随后发布官方声明称出现这种错误是因为内容校订部门「被僵尸占领了」。“It appears our fact checking department was overrun by zombies. We have the utmost respect for these shows and networks.”
● 《绿箭侠》(Arrow):Celina Jade在谈论她的角色Shado与Slade Wilson、Oliver Queen的关系时这样说:
It’s actually a really cool dynamic. I think Shado sees herself as an equal to Slade. There’s a little bit of his alpha male status creating a competitiveness between them. In terms of Oliver, she is the first person to really say, “You’re not a loser. You might have some funky hair, but I really believe you have a lot of potential and that you can become a fighter. You can find the strength within you to get through these times on the island so we can get out of here.” She has a different methodology than Slade does, because Slade’s way is more normal. “Toughen up. This is how you fight. You’ve got to be quick if you want to survive.” But her methodology is that she’s a mentor, but the way she teaches him martial arts and archery is more of a philosophy as opposed to just technical stuff. I like to think of her more like Mister Miyagi in “The Karate Kid.”
● 《黑色孤儿》(Orphan Black):演员Tatiana Maslany解释Sarah究竟要如何利用Beth的身份,特别是Sarah和Beth的男友Paul的关系:
“Initially, Sarah doesn’t have any sense that she’s going to stick around long in this life, so there are no ties being made to anybody in Beth’s life. But the more she steps into this life, the less she’s able to get out without causing trouble. So she does start to become very linked to all the people in Beth’s life. An interesting dynamic between Paul and Sarah starts to develop. Things definitely get more complicated.”
