This August SciFi Vision had the opportunity to visit the Warehouse 13 set. Joanne Kelly, who stars as Myka Bering on the show, sat down to talk with SciFi Vision in an exclusive interview.

There is quite a lot going on in the final season of the series. "I kind of explained it when I was at Comic-Con; it's as if Jack Kenny our showrunner was packing for vacation and he stuffed as many things in the suitcase as humanly possible. It's like he sat on it and just stuffed the episodes so full. There's so much that happens in just six [episodes]."

In August SciFi Vision had the amazing opportunity to visit the Warehouse 13 set in Toronto during filming of the season finale.

Allison Scagliotti, who plays Claudia Donovan on the popular Syfy series, talked to SciFi Vision in an exclusive interview.

Scagliotti talked about some of the things crammed into the final season. "What I love about Warehouse 13 [is] the amps turned up to eleven. We have a crazy telenovela episode that's half in Spanish. We deal with Paracelsus (Anthony Head), and I don't want to spoil that too much, because that's a really exciting and kind of Buffyesque kind of moment. For Claudia, we finally get to learn what happened to her family, and we meet her sister (Chryssie Whitehead) who Claudia was not aware was still alive. So Claudia and Artie (Saul Rubinek) have to sort of deal with how that changes their relationship; he was keeping it from her, and what she has to learn from the situation, which is that some things in life you can't fix."

Last Thursday singer and tuba player from Michigan, Malaya Watson, was voted off of American Idol. She recently talked to the media about Idol and her plans for the future.

Anybody who has watched or listened to interviews with the cast of Warehouse 13 can easily see how well they get along and how much fun they have together; it's really quite infectious. Over the years I have had the privilege of interviewing the cast, as well as executive producer Jack Kenny, on multiple occasions. I even visited the set in Toronto as part of the Syfy Digital Press Tour a couple years ago.

When I visited the set again last August for SciFi Vision, along with writer Karen Moul, I experienced that energy, yet another feeling as well. I was there during the series finale and one of the last days of filming for the cast, in fact, it was the last day they filmed in Artie (Saul Rubinek)'s office. There was a feeling of somberness for everyone as the day wound down and it started to sink in. I felt quite honored to be able to be there at such a significant time.

Tonight fan favorite Warehouse 13 returns to Syfy for its fifth and unfortunately final season. The episode picks off where the season four finale left off, with Paracelsus (Anthony Head) having taken over the warehouse and he and Claudia (Allison Scagliotti) in a standoff. However, it's going to take a lot more than Claudia's connection to the warehouse and quick thinking to stop him.

This May a brand new science fiction event will be happening on the west coast: Sci-Fest, the 1st annual Los Angeles science fiction one-act play festival. The festival will showcase interesting stories and great sci-fi talent that you have come to know over the years.

The idea for the festival came from Sci-Fest Producer David Dean Bottrell, who many will know from his role as Lincoln Meyer on season three of Boston Legal, or from one of his many other guest appearances on series such as Mad Men, NCIS, True Blood, Days of Our Lives, and Castle, just to name a few, or from his critically-acclaimed one-man shows or other theater work.

Bottrell recently sat down with SciFi Vision in an exclusive interview to talk about Sci-Fest, which will come to fruition in May.

On April 15 FX debuts its new series Fargo, adapted from the original film, but containing new characters and storylines.

Martin Freeman stars as insurance salesman Lester Nygaard, whose life is turned upside-down when he meets stranger Lorne Malvo (Billy Bob Thorton).

Freeman recently talked to the digital media about his work on the new series.

The actor talked to SciFi Vision about what attracted him to the role. "Just the fact that it's well written. The script itself is well written, the whole thing, the whole first episode, which is what I based my decision on. It was a lovely episode. And with Lester I just got the feeling that this was going to be a role where you could give rein to a lot of stuff, to play a lot of stuff.

"And even within that first episode the range that he goes between is really interesting, and so I knew that was only going to grow and expand in the next nine episodes, and so it proved to be. In all the 10 episodes I get to play as Lester pretty much the whole gamut of human existence and human feeling, you know, he does the whole lot.

"And that's exactly what you want to do as an actor. And Noah [Hawley] treads that line very well between drama and comedy and the light and dark. And I like playing that stuff. So, yeah, it was all of that really."

April 15th FX premieres its new series Fargo, an adaptation of the Academy Award-winning film of the same name. The series follows new characters, including Lorne Malvo, played by Billy Bob Thorton. Malvo is a killer who enjoys exploiting the weak, often simply for his own enjoyment.

Thorton talked to SciFi Vision about one of his favorite scenes early on. "In the first two episodes, I really enjoyed the scene in the hospital with Lester, just when I first meet him, a total stranger asking for a drink of his soda pop, and just immediately knowing that this guy is weak. This guy is unsure of himself, so I can use him, and also I've got to give this guy a lesson in life here.

"Malvo almost takes his victims as students, in a way, too. And that was the first scene we shot, and I really enjoyed doing that with him, especially since we were just starting, and it didn't turn into an experiment. It just naturally happened because we're so different.

"Normally you're trying to get a chemistry with an actor, but in this case it was the opposite. We're total strangers and I'm just going to mess with this guy, so it was almost like you needed to come into it cold."

Lord Asano saves him against the samurai's wishes and takes him with them.
