SciFi Vision - Where Fiction and Reality Meet
A Note From the Editor
A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR:
I recently realized that a few previous articles for whatever reason had either not gotten published, or were not set to "live" on the site and were therefore not available. I decided that if I were to simply publish them under their respective dates, that because things are listed by date on the site, most visitors would never see them. I decided that the best way to present them was to post them as if they are new articles so that they show up on the front of the site. They will also will be released over a short period of time so that they will get a chance to be featured. I chose the order because two of the articles actually fit well with the start of the new episodes / seasons of these shows. Please bare with me, as they are great interviews and I don't want to see them go unread. Once I am able to find a better way to manage publication (at this point I am the only person who publishes anything on the site / manages it) with my team, things will go a lot smoother. I am currently working on finding an editor that will allow contributions so that I am not trying to manage everything on my own.
There are also some things that unfortunately do to time constraints and other commitments had to be postponed as I have been catching up on the previously mentioned articles, that are still planned for future updates, including but not limited to: a gallery including all of the photos taken during the Syfy Digital Press Tour (many previously unpublished to the site), exclusive video clips from interviews with the talent at the press event (i.e. personal videos of my own questions), and a fans look at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, including photos and videos, which in the interest of interviews I have yet to have a chance to complete.
Please accept my apology for the delays as I work to make SciFi Vision a better science fiction and pop culture resource.

Reshma Shetty of "Royal Pains" Talks About Her Latest Project
By Karen Moul
Royal Pains' second season has just ended, and will return for a new season this summer. Although Divya didn't get married, star Reshma Shetty is planning to take the plunge and wed boyfriend Deep Katdare, who co-starred with her in the touring production of Bombay Dreams.
"So, my big project has been my wedding," she told us. "Hopefully, this show that I'm creating, i.e. Reshma's wedding, will be really [great].
"I've had fun," says Reshma, "because USA has also helped me. We put together some webisodes about how to get married in New York. It's called Royally Wed with Divya. USA's been amazing! I've never been married before, and I didn't know anything. So [it's me] meeting vendors, finding out what brides need to know, bringing tips to you with a video. I just had no idea it was going to turn out as great as it did!"
After the wedding, Reshma will be back for Royal Pains' third season. And in the future – who knows? "I would love to do a movie," she says. "I would love to do a comedy. And, at some point, I do want to return to the stage."
She might even try producing. "I am attracted to the production side...more the vision of the entire movie or show. I think that interests me. And, I'm sure that at the point I will want to morph into that role. I think I have a good eye for being able to see where a project should go and what its style should be."
But Reshma doesn't take the idea lightly. "I say this for any job: I hate people who just jump into things with no real knowledge, because they never usually do a very good job. I never want to be one of those people. So, I don't want to lightly say, oh, I'll be a producer or I'll be a director. But, there's definitely an interest in learning about it."

"White Collar's" Tiffani Thiessen Aspires to be Elizabeth Burke Everyday
By Karen Moul
Tiffani Thiessen's acting career spans three decades and includes starring and guest roles in more than a dozen TV shows. Now starring as Elizabeth Burke in USA's White Collar, Thiessen says she's finally found a role that mirrors her own personality.
"In the 20-some-odd years I've been [in] this business, this crazy business," says Thiessen, "I feel most like my character this time. I aspire to be Elizabeth Burke every day."
"I love that she really is a very career-driven woman, I love that she puts her relationship and her marriage first. I love the relationship that she [has] with her husband (played by Tim DeKay). There's a lot of love between the two of them, there's a lot of trust, but there's also a great friendship."
Thiessen shares a similar relationship with her own husband, actor Brady Smith, and she says it was the Burke's strong marriage that drew her to the role.
"It's one of the first scripts that I've read in a really long time, that [included] a marriage that actually works. Most of the time marriages on TV are filled with drama and affairs and distrusting each other and it's all the opposite with the Burkes, which is what I really, really enjoy about the relationship."
"You don't see a lot of strong women have strong marriage relationships on TV," she continues. "You just don't see it very often, so that was one thing that I really, really enjoyed reading [in] the script and really falling in love with Elizabeth."
The finale of White Collar's second season airs Tuesday, March 8 on USA. Very few episodes are available online, so new viewers should probably wait for the DVDs.
