THE BRIDGE: Premieres tonight (Saturday July 10th) on CBS

We first found out that Aaron had been cast in THE BRIDGE in July 2008. Almost 2 years later and the day has finally come…..

The 2-hour pilot episode of THE BRIDGE
premieres tonight (Saturday July 10th) on CBS @ 8/7c

I’ll post an entry for the episode review thread later today. But instead of creating a new episode review thread for the USA screening of THE BRIDGE, what I will do is post a new entry but include the link to the review thread that we had for the episode when it aired on CTV (Canada) and you can add your comments there.

Make sense? This way we won’t have two separate episode threads for the one episode.

For those of us that have already watched season one of THE BRIDGE, please do not post spoilers for upcoming episodes. I know that everyone already knows not to, but I just needed to say it :)

THE BRIDGE: CBS Fail

CBS have FINALLY updated the website page they have for THE BRIDGE.
http://www.cbs.com/primetime/the_bridge/

Can anyone spot the mistake?

The mistake is not on the HOME page. But it’s on the CAST page (and the 7 individual Cast Bios) and on the VIDEO and ABOUT pages.

 

UPDATE: Fixed now. But only because Aaron alerted them to the typo.

THE BRIDGE: Welcome to The Bridge – Some interesting/useless facts

There is only one more sleep until THE BRIDGE premieres in the USA (Saturday July 10th).
In today’s edition of “Welcome to The Bridge” here are some interesting/useless facts about ‘The Bridge’.


Inga Cadranel (who plays Jill, one of the main characters on ‘The Bridge’), is married to Gabriel Hogan. Gabriel is also an actor and will appear in an upcoming episode of ‘The Bridge’ (1×05: Vexation of Spirit). Gabriel Hogan is the son of actor Michael Hogan. Michael Hogan played (yes, you guessed it) Col. Saul Tigh on Battlestar Galactica.


Aaron’s BFF Colin Corrigan can be seen briefly in the pilot episode of ‘The Bridge’.

Colin played Marine Allan Nowart on Battlestar Galactica. If you’re a fan of SUPERNATURAL, that was Colin playing the demon (with the brief case) who got to beat up Sam Winchester in the alleyway in episode 5×14: My Bloody Valentine (You can watch a video clip of that HERE). Colin was also at DragonCon 2008 and joined in on the BSG panel.


In the pilot episode of ‘The Bridge’, Aaron can be seen wearing this tshirt.

That is Aaron’s own tshirt. No he didn’t ‘steal’ it from wardrobe :) He’s been wearing their designs for years, long before ‘The Bridge’ even existed.

The t-shirt is from 7lightningbolt*. Below are some more items that Aaron owns from the same designers.

UPDATE: This is their ETSY page.


Toby Proctor guest-stars in the pilot episode of ‘The Bridge’. Toby has appeared in some of Aaron’s tweets.
