Paranormal Witness is back with a twelve episode second season on Syfy. Executive Producer, Mark Lewis, spoke with Christiane Elin of SciFi Vision about the new season.
It is impossible to talk about a remake without talking about the movie that it came from. For those unfamiliar, Total Recall was an Arnold Schwarzenegger action flick from the 90’s about a man who goes through a recreational mind-altering procedure and supposedly discovers that he’s really a spy. The original film left a question mark on that summary, never definitively stating what was reality. It was a good action flick for the time, had some creative ideas and thoughtful themes behind an otherwise 90’s action flick. If you liked Arnold’s other movies of the time, it was a must watch.
After physically injuring half the cast last time, “The Newsroom” subjects the rest to lashings of the mind. In addition to recycled dialogue, the reluctant, or inadvertent, therapy session has been a Sorkin staple, from Dan’s thera-dates on “Sports Night” to Adam Arkin’s sessions on “The West Wing”. Here, Will McAvoy winds up in the chair, while Sloan Sabbith finds out how badly things can get lost in translation. Unfortunately, it’s Will, not the sage Bill Murray, whispering advice in her ear.
When I saw that this episode was titled, "Death March," I was a bit puzzled. Would a show known for taking it safe with nearly every plot element in its arsenal really pile on the death at this point? The survivors are on their way to salvation in Charleston and so maybe that could happen. Then, I watched the episode. This was not a death march the way I had imagined it in my mind. In fact, no one in the episode dies! So I had to ask the question of whether the title was ironic in some way during the viewing of the episode.
Time moves in only one direction: Forward. We saw it all around this episode of "Breaking Bad". Walt is moving on without giving a second thought to the consequences of his actions. Like I mentioned before in a previous review: Walt is now embracing the Heisenberg persona, and Heisenberg doesn't live in a world of fear. He intimidates. He bullies. He is "the one who knocks."
Of all the standard tropes in genre storytelling, the "fight club" plot device is among the most reviled. It has many variants, from a straight-up boxing match to a bloody MMA free-for-all. In nearly every case, the situation is contained to a single episode, so there is rarely enough time to give the pounding a realistic context. It takes a long-form approach and a well-rendered world, like seen in "Spartacus", to make it work.
After a couple of darker installments, it makes sense that the writers would want to turn to more comedic fare. That is, after all, the tone of the show; it would be hard to imagine "Warehouse 13" going completely dark. While there are a few connections to the overall arc within the story, this is more an opportunity for the various characters to pair up and get into the field.
