Recently Syfy returned with the second half of season four of its hit series, Warehouse 13. Three stars of the show, Saul Rubinek, who plays Artie, Allison Scagliotti, who plays Claudia, and Aaron Ashmore, who plays Steve, recently talked to the media about their work on the show, as well as the characters' lives post Leena.

The final four became the final three after Amber Holcomb received the least amount of votes (from two weeks) on this week's American Idol results show. After a very emotional night, Amber gave her final performance as an American Idol contestant.

SciFi Vision spoke with Amber the day after the results show. On the call, Amber was in good spirits about her future after her Idol journey. For many American Idol viewers, the same question lingered about why she was so emotional on result's night. Amber took us through what was going inside her head after the results were read. Amber said when she watched the package video it really got to her. After the video she saw her dad crying and then it was time for her to sing. When singing she was thinking about going home. It was a lot to take in at that moment for the 18-year old.

The judges unanimously believe that Amber should easily have a career after her time at American Idol. Amber said that, although she didn't win, she finds that she will be able to take this time to focus on herself. Amber is looking forward to what's next and would like to have you see her in all forms of media within the next 10 years.

The supersized series finale of The Office airs this Thursday, May 16. The evening begins with a special one-hour retrospective, followed by the 75-minute final episode. "Months after the airing of the documentary," says the NBC's official press release, "the workers of Dunder Mifflin, past and present, gather for a wedding and a final round of interviews. Mysteries are solved, hatchets are buried, pranks are prunked."

"We didn't start off with the documentary as the finale," Executive Producer Greg Daniels told reporters. "The plan was to air the documentary in Episode 17, and as we got closer and closer to that point the writers and I would have furious debates.

"We thought it would be difficult to have a bunch of episodes after it had aired, and so we ended up pushing it off and off, and then it ended up being more close to the British show" on which the U.S. series is based."
