Syfy's new series Defiance features multiple alien races, collectively called the Votans. One of these races is Indogene. They are characterized by their bright white, hairless skin, which is comprised of faint hexagon-shaped scales. Their irises are also hexagonal. The Indogene not only have their own unique look, but also their own language, which is also based on hexagons. The Indogene are the most scientifically and technologically advanced of the Votan races.

The Indogene that appears most on Defiance is Doctor Meh Yewll, played by the talented actress Trenna Keating.

Keating recently sat down with Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision for an exclusive interview to talk about her work on the series.

The actress is very grateful to be playing Yewll. "I was pretty lucky to get on Defiance, because there're a lot of casting directors, in fact most casting directors in town still don't know who I am, so the casting directors of Defiance have been really great to me."

So You Think You Can Dance returns for its tenth season with a special two-night premiere on Tuesday, May 14th and Wednesday, May 15th. Host Cat Deeley spoke with SciFiVision in a conference call about the new season.

Cat shared that this year, "people are getting very, very creative with the different styles and their choices of music. They know now that we are in season ten, so we've seen people run up walls and do back flips. We've seen, you know, ten pirouettes all in one go, so they've got to do something that's a little big unique and normally that involves doing something with the music, so say putting a hip-hop routine to a classical piece of music or giving the dance a story. It's about their creativity."

Not only has Cat seen that contestants are becoming more creative but she has seen more newbies try out for the show. Cat went on to say, "It means that within the dance community, we're still a relevant show. We're still a relevant part of their career process, which I think is brilliant."

Check out season ten of So You Think You Can Dance Tuesday Nights on Fox.

Recently Syfy returned with the second half of season four of its hit series, Warehouse 13. Three stars of the show, Saul Rubinek, who plays Artie, Allison Scagliotti, who plays Claudia, and Aaron Ashmore, who plays Steve, recently talked to the media about their work on the show, as well as the characters' lives post Leena.

The final four became the final three after Amber Holcomb received the least amount of votes (from two weeks) on this week's American Idol results show. After a very emotional night, Amber gave her final performance as an American Idol contestant.

SciFi Vision spoke with Amber the day after the results show. On the call, Amber was in good spirits about her future after her Idol journey. For many American Idol viewers, the same question lingered about why she was so emotional on result's night. Amber took us through what was going inside her head after the results were read. Amber said when she watched the package video it really got to her. After the video she saw her dad crying and then it was time for her to sing. When singing she was thinking about going home. It was a lot to take in at that moment for the 18-year old.

The judges unanimously believe that Amber should easily have a career after her time at American Idol. Amber said that, although she didn't win, she finds that she will be able to take this time to focus on herself. Amber is looking forward to what's next and would like to have you see her in all forms of media within the next 10 years.

The supersized series finale of The Office airs this Thursday, May 16. The evening begins with a special one-hour retrospective, followed by the 75-minute final episode. "Months after the airing of the documentary," says the NBC's official press release, "the workers of Dunder Mifflin, past and present, gather for a wedding and a final round of interviews. Mysteries are solved, hatchets are buried, pranks are prunked."

"We didn't start off with the documentary as the finale," Executive Producer Greg Daniels told reporters. "The plan was to air the documentary in Episode 17, and as we got closer and closer to that point the writers and I would have furious debates.

"We thought it would be difficult to have a bunch of episodes after it had aired, and so we ended up pushing it off and off, and then it ended up being more close to the British show" on which the U.S. series is based."

Nico Tortorella, who previously talked to SciFi Vision in an exclusive interview, recently took part in a press call to talk about his role on The Following as Jacob, and his character's death at the hands of Emma, played by Valorie Curry.

Tortorella told SciFi Vision that he was partly surprised that Jacob forgave Emma so fast, which is what led to his murder. "I was surprised to an extent. But at the same time, there were only so many people that Jacob had to turn to in that house. Emma was getting literally slapped back and forth by everybody else in the house, and when she finally turned to Jacob for support, Jacob had nobody else to turn to, so it was either love or not love, and I think Jacob just showed love."

Grimm has moved to a new timeslot behind The Voice, and star David Giuntoli is thrilled. While discussing the move with journalists, he gave us a brief a preview tonight’s episode.

“We're going to be seeing something very paranormal,” he explained, “I want to say almost X-Files-y that is not a standard Grimm’s fairytale and almost like we're dealing what people on the Earth think are aliens.”

Meanwhile, Nick is still living in Monroe’s attic, but that doesn’t stop the Blutbad’s relationship with Rosalee from heating up. “I believe in this next episode there's a very funny scene where I perhaps walk in on a moment I shouldn't have walked in on,” shared Giuntoli.

With tonight’s episode, Grimm begins a four-episode run to the season finale, and Giuntoli was feeling very talkative about what’s in store for the characters.

“You could definitely see a Nick and Juliette reunion,” he hinted. No surprise there, although he went on to suggest the couple could face a few more obstacles. “I'm sure that in Grimm fashion they'll find some way to make that as difficult as humanly possible."

Tonight Syfy will air an all new episode of Warehouse 13. The episode picks up where the previous cliffhanger left off, with Artie having killed Leena and having unleashed a deadly plague on the world with the Black Orchid Artifact. The two stars of the show, Eddie McClintock, who plays Pete Lattimer, and Joanne Kelly, who plays Myka Bering, as well as executive producer Jack Kenny, recently talked to the media about the midseason premiere, as well as what fans can expect moving forward.

Jack Kenny talked to SciFi Vision about some of the repercussions of Leena's death. "Artie's the first person that has to deal with this...and so we do a really cool thing where [we have] Claudia, who's our most obvious choice, go after Artie and bring him back to us. We have a really kind of emotional moment. And...Artie's having a very hard time dealing with what he did. He was affected by an artifact but he sees it as his hand is the one that did it, and so he's responsible. So there's that hurdle that has to be leapt over in terms of Artie making his peace with what an artifact made him do.

Serial killer Pelant (Andrew Leeds) returns in an all new episode of Bones, tonight on Fox. The star of the series, Emily Deschanel, who plays Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan, recently talked to the media about the season finale, "The Secret in the Siege."

The actress talked to SciFi Vision about the challenges of switching between light and emotional scenes. "[The amount of challenge] depends on the emotion and the way the scene is written and the circumstances. I find it challenging to switch tone like we do on our show. It's definitely challenging to go from comedy to humor and lightness to sadness. It really depends on the particular scene and what it is. Sometimes emotion comes easily for me and sometimes it's more challenging...I think that when you're supposed to have emotion out of nowhere, that's challenging for me."

Exclusive Interview with Paul Amos of Lost Girl

Lost Girl follows the story of Bo (played by Anna Silk), an unaligned succubus, who refuses to choose sides, but helps both Fae kind and humans when she can, all while trying to understand who and what she really is.

Paul Amos plays the character of Vex. He's a Mesmer that has the ability to control people's actions with his mind. He is Dark Fae, but also helps out the Light Fae at times, so no one is sure where his loyalties lie, other than to himself.

One thing is for certain, however: Vex has a kickass wardrobe. The costumes, however, are often quite tight. "The thing about the costumes with Vex - I'm kind of a bit committed to this character; this is as far as my commitment goes - is that I have to generally Nair for those costumes. I generally have to Nair for those costumes so that tells you everything you need to know.
