Tonight was the first episode of Riverdale to air on The CW since Luke Perry’s shocking death due to a massive stroke on Monday. They made sure to let everyone know that he might be gone but he will never be forgotten.
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the drama’s creator, declared earlier today, “Tonight’s episode of #Riverdale finds Fred doing what he does best–helping Archie. It is dedicated to Luke, as all episodes will be for the rest of our run. 💔❤️🏆” Which is a sweet way to remember their dad on the show.
No word yet how they will handle his death on the show, but I am sure Fred Andrews will get a proper send off. Right, now we just need to let them all mourn because they lost a dear friend.
Last season, Nicollette Sheridan joined The CW’s remake of Dynasty as Alexis Carrington and now she is leaving the show. The network announced the news yesterday and said, “Nicollette Sheridan will be leaving Dynasty in order to focus on some personal family responsibilities. She was a valuable asset to the show and we wish her continued success in the future.”
Today she released a statement explaining what are those “personal family responsibilities.” She said, “Working on the Dynasty reboot and reprising the iconic role of Alexis has been thoroughly enjoyable, but the chance to spend precious time with my terminally ill mother is more important to me right now.” Then she added, “I am profoundly grateful to Mark Pedowitz (The CW) and David Stapf (CBS) for graciously allowing me to return to Los Angeles to be with her, and I wish them and everyone associated with the show nothing but continued success. I am hopeful that my fans will embrace my successor with as much passion as they embraced me.”
According to TV Line, they are looking to recast the role. Who better than Joan Collins? If not her, someone else from the original show. How about Emma Samms, Pamela Sue Martin, Catherine Oxenberg or Leanne Hunley. How hot would that be?
When it comes to Alexis, her character has been pretty useless this season. Hopefully, with the recast, it will reignite the role for season 3. In case you missed it, the show was picked up for another season last month.
When it comes to Sheridan, she is doing the right thing. Family comes first.
Back in 2017, ABC aired Time After Time, a show based on H.G. Wells’ book The Time Machine and named after the 1979 movie. The series aired just five episodes before they sent it into the future. That day is today and the location is CW Seed. The translation is you can finally watch all the episodes there.
Time After Time is the story of Jack the Ripper stealing Wells’ time machine and using it to travel to the future. Wells follows him in the hopes of catching him and bringing him back to the 19th century. It proves harder than he thought because the future, or the year 2017, is much different than the time he knows. How will this cat and mouse game end? You just have to watch to find out.
I watched the show when it aired and I loved what I saw. Finally, I get to see what happens next on the Kevin Williamson series. I am sure you will enjoy it too.
BTW if you are not familiar with CW Seed you are missing the app that has some of the best series of the last decade that were cancelled too soon. Shows like Alcatraz, Constantine, Everwood, Secret Circle and so many more including the original Dynasty. Why not watch it during your snow days or even the ones that are beautiful.
The CW did their annual early pick ups and they picked up everything that is not ending this season or All American. In other words, Arrow, Black Lightning, Charmed, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Dynasty, The Flash, Legacies, Riverdale, Supergirl and Supernatural and will all be back on the lineup next season.
Since I watch Dynasty, I am shocked and thrilled it will be back for more catfights. Talking about fights, Sam and Dean will be fighting demons for season 15. Can Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki still do that? I mean they have been doing the show for so long, aren’t they grandfathers using canes wearing medic alert bracelets by now? Which makes me feel old because I have been watching since the pilot. Don’t believe me. Here is what Misha Collins said about the news, “Season 15 is official. Time for hip replacements. #Supernatural”
Another show awaiting its fate is Roswell. Since it is only been on a few weeks, it makes sense that they did not pick it up with this batch. I just hope they renew it by May. I was not expecting to like it, but turns out I do.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTk24tf_cyY Roswell, New Mexico debuts on The CW tonight at 9p and you are going to want to check out this remake. Now having said that last word, I will admit I never watched the original series. Therefore, I cannot compare the two. What I can tell you is that I am already hooked on the Sci-Fi drama after watching the first three episodes.
Roswell, New Mexico is famous place because some say a UFO crashed down on the small town in 1947. The legend still exists until this day, but did it happen? Only three people know the truth and they are the aliens that grew up in the town and assimilated with the townspeople.
Liz (Jeanine Mason) left there shortly after her sister died in a drunk driving accident that killed two other girls from the town. Since that day, everyone has hated her family. Therefore, it seems strange that she would return on the 10th anniversary of that accident.
As soon as she gets home, she goes to visit her dad at the dinner that he owns. She let’s him go home early and her childhood friend, who has feelings for her, shows up. As Max (Nathan Parsons) and Liz are talking, someone shoots up the dinner in revenge for that night. Liz has been shot and Max must do something extraordinary to save her life. By doing this he has exposed himself to her, but she does not know this because she was dead at the time it happened.
The two other aliens, who came to Earth with Max, are mad at him for exposing their secret. The three of them have done everything to hide their true identities and now Max might have ruined everything. Isobel (Lily Cowles) and Michael (Michael Vlamis) have very different ways on how they want to handle the situations. Whose way will win out? Or will Max’s way be the way that works out for all of them?
Even though the three of them have been good at concealing their identity, some of the people in the town will suspect that there are aliens living amongst them. Will they be able to figure out who they are? Especially since they are getting outside help?
I recently watched three episodes of a show and still have no idea what is going on. Roswell, New Mexico’s story is clear and interesting. You want to know what happens next because within minutes you find yourself invested in these characters and the story they have to tell.
