Fox's new action-drama, Gang Related, follows Detective Ryan Lopez (Ramon Rodriguez) of LA's Gang Task Force, who before becoming a cop was part of the Latino Gang called Los Angelicos. He may be a cop, but he still holds loyalty to the gang and its leader Javier Acosta (Cliff Curtis).

Recently, creator, writer, and executive producer Chris Morgan (The Fast and the Furious franchise; 47 Ronin), executive producer Scott Rosenbaum (Chuck; The Shield), and executive producer and director of the pilot episode Allen Hughes (Broken City; The Book of Eli) sat down with the media to talk about the new series.

Morgan talked to SciFi Vision about where the idea for the series came from. "I saw a police video one time of a man – they were responding to a man with a gun call, and the police show up. It was a dash cam video and the guy with the gun actually has an AK-47 and he begins to engage the police, and additional police cars show up and they can't touch this guy. The reason why is, breaking down the video later, they realize this guy was a gang member and on top of it, he was sent into the military to become a better soldier to come back and fight on the streets.

"Seeing that just made me think, wow, if the gangs have become so sophisticated that they are actually now dividing and making a hierarchy and specializing in certain things, what else would they be into? That just started getting the ball rolling on well, what if there was a gang task force and the guy who's leading it is, unbeknown to the police, is actually a member of the gang working to inform for them? That's the genesis of where that came from."

24: Live Another Day continued the week (Episode 3, 1 pm-2 pm) at the series' usual breakneck pace, with a small, heartbreaking pause. Jack learned the source of Chloe's hostility and why she is alone in London: her husband and son were killed in a hit-and-run accident that she believes was a failed attempt to assassinate her for helping Jack disappear at the end of Day 8.

SciFi Vision spoke with actress Mary Lynn Rajskub about Chloe's anger, her work with the hacker community, and her new goth-inspired style.

"I think she blames Jack," said Rajskub, "and I think she, of course, blames herself. Of course. I think it's both those things, and I think she's just been completely beaten down in every aspect. Everything that she tried to do right turned out wrong, and then some."

Rajskub said she understands how this drove straight-and-narrow Chloe to become and anti-government hacktivist and take up with Adrian Cross, the Julian Assange-inspired character.

"That becomes her rock, and that becomes her whole view of the world. That's the polar opposite of what she was, and that's, I think, from somebody who really doesn't feel she has a lot to live for at this point. "

On FX's Fargo, Oliver Platt plays the part of Stavros Milos, a self-help book author, as well as the owner of a supermarket chain. Milos, however, has a secret to the start of his success that he wants to keep hidden, and hires Lorne Malvo (Billy Bob Thorton), which only causes things to go downhill from there.

The actor recently talked to the media about his role on Fargo.

Platt talked to SciFi Vision about what attracted him to the role. "Just such a muscular arc, you know? One of the first things you're looking at is, where does the guy start and where does he end, and how do they get him there? That's what we yearn for as actors, that distance to travel, and Noah laid that out in spades. It was a story that took this guy and took everything that he believed in and turned it on its head, and he didn't know who it was, who was doing it to him...and that's the brilliance of the scheme, is the ninja mind tricks."

This week American Idol narrowed the competition to three finalists, saying goodbye to Jessica Meuse. In the moment, Meuse was emotional, but by the next day she was in high spirits.

“I feel really good about it,” she told SciFi Vision. “I’m leaving on a good note. I left myself on the stage. I’m really happy I did an original song, and that’s me as an artist. I stayed true to myself the entire run on American Idol and it’s definitely not over for me.”

Next up for Meuse is the American Idol tour; afterwards, the sky is the limit. She has a long list of projects she hopes to take on.

“I want to collaborate with people. I want to write. I want to start putting together a CD,” Meusel told the press, continuing: “I want to do the graphic work for it or at least have some part in making the artwork, and I want to see if I can get in a little bit of acting. I want to produce. I want to engineer. I want to have a studio and be a touring artist. I want to do absolutely everything.”

Watch Americal Idol Wednesdays at 8/7c and Thursdays at 9/8c on FOX.

The new adaptation of Rosemary's Baby comes to NBC starting May 11th. The story centers on a young married couple after they have a devastating miscarriage. They move to Paris where they make some friends that seem far too good to be true. The miniseries stars Zoe Saldana (Avatar, Star Trek Into Darkness) as Rosemary and Patrick J. Adams (Suits) as her husband, Guy, as well as Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter franchise, Awake) as their over generous neighbor Roman Castevet, who is not who he seems.

Isaacs talked to the press in a recent interview about the miniseries.

The actor talked to SciFi Vision about the format of doing a shorter project for television. "I was in the commissary at Universal on a Friday afternoon and I got a phone call saying, "We're making Rosemary's Baby. Will you meet on Sunday? And you'll be back in six weeks" or something.

The popular series Bones has only two episodes left this season, with the finale, directed by star David Boreanaz, airing on May 19th. Boreanaz, who plays Special Agent Seeley Booth on the series, and Emily Deschanel, who stars as Dr. Temperance Brennan, talked to the media about the end of this season and moving forward into the next.

Boreanaz talked to SciFi Vision about directing the season finale. "It's always a challenge to take on something like the season finale. You know, you get to the end of the season, and then everybody's a little tired and worn out and, you know, the patience is thin, and with this specific season finale being that there was so much information that we kind of had to gather up and put out there in one 45-minute hit, it made it difficult and challenging. There were lots of elements that were involved, whether it was dealing with the big, huge hearing in front of Congress, or the intense battle between other forces that could come in and jeopardize Bones's and Booth's relationship as well as the outcome of where they're heading into as far as season ten is concerned.

Colin Hanks plays Duluth police officer Gus Grimly on FX's popular new series Fargo. Grimly's life is changed after his encounter with Lorne Malvo (Billy Bob Thorton). Choosing to let him drive off after pulling him over is a decision that has plagued him. When fate brings them back together he will have to confront that decision.

Hanks recently talked to the media about his work on Fargo and what fans can expect moving forward.

Hanks talked to SciFi Vision about preparing for the role. "Really the only preparation that I did was just working on the Minnesota accent. That was really it. Gus is not necessarily - well, he is not a good cop really. He is sort of out of his depth, out of his element, so there wasn't really any police training that I had to do.

"In fact, I sort of specifically did things poorly. You train, if you play enough cops, eventually you say, "I know how to hold the weapon; I know how to do this," and I sort of undid all of that to make Gus look a little bit more out of his element, but the only real preparation I did was work with the dialect coach to try and get a little bit of his accent down. We didn't want to go too big on the accent, but we wanted to make sure that there were some subtle moments in his speech that would indicate he definitely has an accent."

Kiefer Sutherland returns to TV next week as 24's fugitive super-agent Jack Bauer. After a four-year hiatus, he was more than happy to reprise the role, but insists he's not the reason fans tune in.

"The real star of the show is the time signature," he told SciFi Vision. "Because in the context of a thriller, that ticking clock, it really does matter. It makes you quite nervous, inherently it just does because you know time is running out."

While 24: Live Another Day includes that familiar clock, Sutherland said this new incarnation is different from the original 24 in two critical ways.

"One of them," he explained, "is that Jack Bauer usually started off every season working within the infrastructure of whatever government agency he's a part of, or in line with the president of the United States. And then that might shift, but he certainly always starts there."
