On June 22, TNT will premiere the new action-adventure series, The Last Ship. The series, based on William Brinkley's novel of the same name, follows the Navy destroyer U.S.S. Nathan James after the rest of the world has fallen victim to a tragic pandemic.

Among the survivors on the ship is Dr. Rachel Scott, played by Rhona Mitra, a paleomicrobiologist who may be the only one who can save them all from the virus.

Mitra recently talked to the media about the new series.

The actress talked to SciFi Vision about what it was that made her take on the role of Rachel Scott. "I think the subject matter's incredibly poignant. And I think that it's something that needs to be discussed right now. And I very much wanted to work with Michael Bay and work with my old friend Eric Dane again."

Mitra told the site that she did quite a bit of research to prepare for the role. "I did a tremendous amount of research. In fact, I already know a lot about paleomicrobiology and virology, because I'm somewhat of a geek. And this world and the subject matter are already of great interest to me, so it came at the perfect time."

On Tuesday Syfy premiered its new 30-minute show, The Wil Wheaton Project. Each week Wheaton will discuss and celebrate what's current and trending in science fiction and genre entertainment. The show will cover not just television and film, but also other parts of pop culture, video games, comics, and more.

Wheaton recently talked to the media about his new series and what fans could expect in the coming weeks.

Wheaton talked to SciFi Vision about some of the challenges involved in making the show. "The show launches today, and last week and the week before a bunch of the shows that we cover had their finales, so we couldn't talk about, like for example, there's no Game of Thrones this week, and Game of Thrones is a load-bearing pillar in our world.

"But we all knew that was going to happen, and if everything goes according to plan, we're going to be on television for a really long time, and we'll be on a time where there really isn't a whole lot of new stuff, and we just kind of have to roll with it."

On the FX ten episode limited series adaptation, Fargo, Allison Tolman plays Molly Solverson, the smart Bemidji police deputy who seems to be the only one in her small town with a clue of what's really going on with a recent string of murders.

Tolman recently talked to the media about her work on Fargo.

The actress talked to SciFi Vision about how she got her big break playing Molly. "My background is in theater and a little bit of sketch, and I was in Chicago when I booked the role, just kind of working at my day job and doing auditions here and there, but not really booking anything. And I put myself on tape for Fargo, and then sort of walked out of the room and forgot about it and went about my daily life. And then a few weeks later they called me and asked me to come in and test in New York, and then five days after that they called and told me that I had the role. So, it's kind of a quick unfolding and a really fast way for your life to change that much overnight."

Last week Alex Preston was the first of the top three contestants voted off of American Idol. The twenty-one year singer from New Hampshire was one of the most original artists the show has seen, performing his own music on more than one occasion. Preston will return for the finale to sing with Jason Mraz, among others.

Preston recently talked to the media about his Idol journey and his future.

The singer talked to SciFi Vision about his plans for releasing more music online as he has done in the past. "I really do want to release as much as I can. I'm already starting to try to figure out a way to plan my record, and I have a couple of co-writes lined up that I do want to get on the album as well. But, yes, if I could release a single that would be awesome. I want to get something out there as quick as I can to take advantage of this wave of publicity that the show has given me."

Preston told the site he was looking forward to the finale and singing with Jason Mraz. "I'm probably most excited about that, singing with Jason Mraz. Also, I'm really excited to see Jena [Irene] and Caleb [Johnson] and their performances because they're both so good and I'd be happy if either one of them won this whole thing."

Last night marked the end for Don Chumph on FX's popular series Fargo. The actor, Glenn Howerton (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia), recently talked to the media about his work on the series, which airs Tuesday nights on FX.

Howerton talked to SciFi Vision about what initially attracted him to the role. "I didn't know a whole lot about it when I said yes to it if I'm being honest. Television moves at a different pace than film. I knew that the Coen brothers were involved. I've been a big fan of FX dramas for a while, and obviously, I've been a part of the family for many, many years, and the president of FX, John Landgraf called me and he'd been speaking about - he knows that my background is not really in comedy, and a lot of my background is actually in more dramatic stuff, which is weird. So, he always asks me, he threw it out there, would you ever want to be on one of our dramas, and I said absolutely.

"So this came along and even though it's kind of a comedic role, he felt like it was something that I hadn't really done comedic-ly before, and it was part of a drama, and he explained the concept to me, who the character was, what the tone of the show was. I'm a big fan of the movie, Fargo, and I basically without ever even seeing a script, I said yes, just because of all the people that were involved."

The executive producer of Warehouse 13 Jack Kenny talked to SciFi Vision during a set visit last August. While talking about the finale, he specifically talked about the kiss between Pete (Eddie McClintock) and Myka (Joanne Kelly). "It's not as you'd expect it would be, and it's you know, it's inevitable, yet still surprising I think. I think it's both inevitable and surprising, and I think it's lovely and warm, and I think it's incredibly satisfying in a way that isn't schmaltzy or overwrought or expected; it's just very satisfying. You go "Awe. Of course, of course. Now it's right; now everything is right."

"And yet their relationship doesn't really change. They maintain their same sort of attitude about each other - it's very Beatrice and Benedict. It's Tracy and Hepburn. It's all the great old couples through all of time who you know should end up together and despite the fact that...I think it's very satisfying. I think the fans will be pleased and satisfied, yet still surprised by it, because it's surprising."

Exclusive Interview with Jack Kenny for Warehouse 13

Syfy's popular series Warehouse 13 closed its doors tonight. Recently the executive producer, Jack Kenny, sat down with Jamie Ruby in an exclusive interview to talk about the finale.

One of the things Kenny talked about breaking the stories of the season when they received the news that they would only get six episodes, and how they decided on the finale. "We had already broken I guess about ten episodes by the time we finally got the word whether we were picked up at all. We were in there pitching episodes trying to get them to pick us up, and I actually think pitching them the telenovela episode ("Savage Seduction") was one of the reasons they gave us six instead of just canceling us or whatever. They were very excited about that, the idea of a telenovela episode, so that helped.

"But we had I guess a total of about ten stories when we got the word. I didn't want to end the series on another 'oh, the world's going to blow up and we have to save it' episode. We'd done that; we'd done it three times: saved the world, or the warehouse, or both. And so the way we were arcing out the season with Benedict Valda (Mark Sheppard) and stuff, we thought, 'We can wrap that up in episode five. Let's use episode five as our penultimate and make that the warehouse episode where they save the world.'
