#TBT. Screen caps of the Chief in the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 2×12: RESURRECTION SHIP (PART 2). This episode aired 10 years ago on January 13, 2006. #BSG10YEARS.

Episode Synopsis: The battlestars Pegasus and Galactica go head-to-head with Cylon baseships in a battle that will change the face of the war. But for Lt. Kara Thrace, the real war is with her conscience, as she steels herself to carry out Commander Adama’s order to assassinate Admiral Cain.

When Lee Adama hears from Kara of the order, he confronts his father and challenges the morality and the legality of the order, but Commander Adama remains resolute. For the good of the fleet, he tells his son, Admiral Cain must be eliminated.

Meanwhile, in the Pegasus brig, Pegasus crewmembers brutally assault Galactica prisoners Chief Galen Tyrol and Lt. Karl Agathon, as revenge for the homicide of one of their officers. Only a timely intervention by the Pegasus’s XO halts the beating before it becomes fatal.

As the battle to destroy the Cylons’ “resurrection ship” intensifies, members of both battlestars’ crews are forced to decide how much of their humanity they are willing to sacrifice in order to survive. Ultimately, the fight that begins with heroic self-sacrifice ends in a white-knuckle test of two commanders’ courage, and their character.

THE FLASH: Aaron Douglas to play THE TURTLE

As previously announced, Aaron will be appear in the episode 2×10: Potential Energy of the television show THE FLASH.
Today, Entertainment Weekly announced that Aaron will be playing the villain, THE TURTLE.

 

The Flash casts Battlestar Galactica alum Aaron Douglas as The Turtle
By: Natalie Abrams
Date: January 11, 2016

The Flash has tapped Battlestar Galactica alum Aaron Douglas to play the DC Comics villain The Turtle in the midseason premiere, EW has learned exclusively.

In the comics, the 1940s version of the villain used tricks of slowness in battle against Jay Garrick (played on The Flash by Teddy Sears), while his successor, a scientific genus who went by the name Turtle Man, created devices based on slowness to battle Barry Allen (Grant Gustin). On the show, the team hunts down this meta-human who can slow time itself.

“In a surprisingly funny twist, Cisco [Carlos Valdes] has actually been hunting The Turtle the entire series,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg says. “To Barry’s surprise, everybody knows about Cisco’s hunt for the great white whale, which is The Turtle; he’s the only one who didn’t know about it. We love the idea that there was a villain out there that they knew about, but they just haven’t bothered to tell the audience about yet. All Barry wants to do is get faster, because if he can get faster, he can take on Zoom. He’s going up against a villain who is literally slowing him down. This is one of our best episodes coming back that we’ve ever done. It feels big and emotional.”

Eagle-eyed BSG fans spotted Douglas, who played cylon Galen Tyrol, a.k.a The Chief, in a recent promo.

The Flash returns Tuesday, Jan. 19 at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.

#TBT (Throwback Thursday) #51 – January 7, 2016

#TBT. Screen caps of the Chief in the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 2×11: RESURRECTION SHIP (PART 1). This episode aired 10 years ago on January 6, 2006. #BSG10YEARS.

Episode Synopsis: Lt. Kara “Starbuck” Thrace prevents a potentially deadly face-off between the Battlestars Galactica and Pegasus when she returns at the last second from her unauthorized mission in the blackbird stealth fighter, bearing stunning recon photos of the Cylons’ “resurrection ship.”

Unable to resist this tempting target, Commander William Adama and Admiral Helena Cain establish an uneasy truce as they agree to prioritize the destruction of the resurrection ship, and table their personal and professional conflicts – for now.

Adama remains distrustful, however, when he learns that Cain’s survive-at-all-costs attitude led her to order the Pegasus crew to abandon its own civilian fleet months ago. Disturbed by this news, President Laura Roslin suspects that, as soon as the resurrection ship is destroyed, Cain will jettison the Galactica’s civilian fleet, as well.

As he continues his power struggle against Cain, Adama must make an impossible decision, on the eve of a battle that could change the face of the Cylon war and decide the fate of the human race.

WHAT: Special guests and not-for-profit organizations join CIBC to celebrate the 31st annual CIBC Miracle Day.

In 1984, a Wood Gundy office in Toronto came up with an idea that would ultimately change the lives of children across Canada.

The late Tim Miller and the investment advisors at the 42nd Street branch – named after the famous 42nd Street in New York and located on the 42nd floor of the Head Office – decided to donate their commissions for one day of business to children’s charities. For people who count on commissions for their livelihood, giving them up – even if only for one day – was a sacrifice. However, the branch’s Investment Advisors were fully supportive of the initiative.

The branch called it Miracle on 42nd Street and raised $163,935 in that first year. While CIBC Miracle Day has grown expeditiously, the original objective has stayed the same: Investing in the lives of children to help prepare them for the future and to make sure that tomorrow’s citizens are backed by a strong portfolio of skills and support.

LITTLE PINK HOUSE: Aaron Douglas Lands Supporting Role

Aaron Douglas has joined the cast of the film LITTLE PINK HOUSE, based on the book of the same name by Jeff Benedict. Aaron will be playing the Governor.

The film follows the true story of Susette Kelo (played by Catherine Keener), a nurse from a small Connecticut town, who stands up to politicians that want to bulldoze her home and sell off the cleared land to a billion-dollar pharmaceutical company. Jeanne Tripplehorn will play Susette’s neighbor Charlotte Wells who is leading the charge to bulldoze. And Callum Keith Rennie will play the heroine’s love interest, Tim LeBlanc. (Source: The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline).

Here’s a great video interview with writer and director Courtney Balaker where she explains the story of the Little Pink House. At the 1:30 time stamp they talk about and show a photo of John G. Rowland, the Governor of Connecticut. He is the real life Governor that Aaron’s character is based on. But be warned, because it’s a true story there are spoilers in the video of the outcome.

EDIT: And here’s the book description on Amazon …..

Suzette Kelo was just trying to rebuild her life when she purchased a falling down Victorian house perched on the waterfront in New London, CT. The house wasn’t particularly fancy, but with lots of hard work Suzette was able to turn it into a home that was important to her, a home that represented her new found independence. Little did she know that the City of New London, desperate to revive its flailing economy, wanted to raze her house and the others like it that sat along the waterfront in order to win a lucrative Pfizer pharmaceutical contract that would bring new business into the city. Kelo and fourteen neighbors flat out refused to sell, so the city decided to exercise its power of eminent domain to condemn their homes, launching one of the most extraordinary legal cases of our time, a case that ultimately reached the United States Supreme Court.

Season 1 of THE RETURNED will be released on DVD on September 15, 2015.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0108N99I2/

According to the ‘fact sheet’ on the Lionsgate website, the DVD will include some UNCENSORED versions of the episodes that weren’t shown on TV.

From seasoned executive producers Carlton Cuse (TV’s “Lost,” TV’s “Bates Motel”) and Raelle Tucker (HBO’s “True Blood”), comes the new, scripted A&E® supernatural drama, The Returned™ on DVD (plus Digital) September 15th from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. Based on the International Emmy®-winning French series “Les Revenants,” members of a small community try to piece together how and why they are reunited with loved ones who were lost many years ago. The Returned™ DVD comes complete with all ten riveting episodes—many of them in their uncensored versions not previously shown on TV—along with a “Behind the Scenes: Creating the World of The Returned” featurette; artist Dirk Dzimirsky’s take on drawing the characters; plus the executive producers’ commentary on the characters in the “Inside the Episode” specials. The Returned™ will be available on DVD for the suggested retail price of $26.98.

The Returned™ focuses on a small town that is turned upside down when several local people, who have long been presumed dead, suddenly re-appear, bringing with them both positive and detrimental consequences. Interpersonal relationships are examined with intrigue and depth as strange phenomena begin to occur.

THERE ARE MONSTERS: Original Movie Poster starring Elisabeth Moss

While doing some ‘googling’ on the movie (THERE ARE MONSTERS) that Aaron filmed back in July, I came across the original movie poster. Elisabeth Moss was supposed to be in it?!?!? I have no idea why she didn’t end up being in it (I guess I could google that). But OH.MY.FRAKKING.GODS Aaron could have been in a movie with PEGGY OLSON!!!!

THERE ARE MONSTERS: Movie Poster & Synopsis

Synopsis:
From the creator of The Strangers comes a world of the lost; freezing, spitting needles of rain, thunderbolt lightning, hypothermic cold and disorientating utter darkness.

Mother and daughter trapped and tormented in a black forest by a screeching creature – it is unlike anything we have heard before. Not human. Not animal. Like a thousand horses, like a mother’s clamour, a baby’s wail, a father’s howl.

Their relationship at breaking point, 10-year-old Lizzy is all out of faith in her mother Kathy but tries to stay brave and fearless. Kathy, on the edge, barely keeping it together, knows that only a mother’s protective love, her most primal instinct, can save her daughter from what’s lurking in the darkness…

Cast:
Zoe Kazan … Kathy
Ella Ballentine … Lizzy
Scott Speedman … Roy
Aaron Douglas … Jesse
Christine Ebadi …Leslie Williams

Filmmakers:
Director and Writer … Bryan Bertino
Producers … William Green, Aaron Ginsburg, Adrienne Biddle

THERE ARE MONSTERS: Scott Speedman Discovers There Are Monsters

Scott Speedman Discovers There Are Monsters
Joining Bryan Bertino’s new horror
By: Owen Williams
Date: August 19, 2015

Having himself played a hybrid of a vampire and a werewolf in the Underworld films, Scott Speedman is well placed to join the cast of There Are Monsters. Bryan Bertino (The Strangers) is directing, and has also signed up Aaron Douglas, Zoe Kazan and Ella Ballentine for the cast.

Details so far are sketchy, but the plot of the film centres on “a mother and daughter trapped and tormented by a ruthless creature”. It’s probably safe to assume that Kazan and Ballentine are, respectively, the mother and daughter. But all we know about Speedman and Douglas are that their characters are called Roy and Jesse. Do either of those sound like the name of a ruthless creature?

Bertino brought us the impressive The Strangers in 2008, but this is only the second time he’s directed since, following Mockingbird, which went straight to DVD here in the UK. He wrote an interesting-sounding Strangers sequel which never escaped from development Hell. But he also produced Oz Perkins’ February, Akiva Goldsman’s Stephanie, and remains attached to Grim Night, Scarecrow, and a number of other self-penned screenplays. So he’s keeping busy.

There Are Monsters is one of Bertino’s own scripts, and shooting is currently underway in Ottawa, Canada. It’s expected to see the light of day next year.

This is the movie that Aaron was filming in Ottawa a few weeks ago. This role is what he had the long hair & beard for.

Ella Ballentine, Aaron Douglas and Scott Speedman

 

The horror film focuses on a mother and daughter who are tormented by a ruthless creature.

Scott Speedman (Underworld), Aaron Douglas (Battlestar Galactica) and Ella Ballentine (The Captive) have joined horror film There Are Monsters, which will also star Zoe Kazan (Olive Kitteridge).

The movie focuses on a mother and daughter who are trapped and tormented by a ruthless creature.

Bryan Bertino, the writer, director and producer behind The Strangers and Mockingbird, is helming There Are Monsters. Production on the Atlas Independent, an affiliate company of Charles Roven’s Atlas Entertainment, and Unbroken Pictures project is underway in Canada.

William Green and Aaron Ginsburg of Atlas Independent will produce with Adrienne Biddle of Unbroken Pictures. Atlas Entertainment’s Richard Suckle will serve as an executive producer alongside Sonny Mallhi.

There Are Monsters will be distributed by A24 in the U.S. and is set to release in 2016.

Speedman’s recent work includes The Captive, starring alongside current co-star Ballentine and The Vow where he acted alongside Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams. He currently has Animal Kingdom coming up with Jack Weary and Finn Cole. He’s repped by UTA and Circle of Confusion.

Douglas, who starred on Battlestar Galactica, is currently on A&E’s original series The Returned and is set to write and star in Infrared alongside Joseph Gatt. He’s repped by Gersh.

Ballentine is currently filming TV movie Anne of Green Gables in which she stars in the the titular role. She’s repped by Noble Caplan Abrams.

@Jediriccan “informed” is absolutely the correct terminology. The guest list is wildly inaccurate.

 


 

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 28, 2015
Dear @Galacticon4 Being that you just cancelled me for the con this weekend I’d appreciate you removing my name & photo from your site.

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 28, 2015
Yeah, it’s going to be less of a Battlestar con and more of a whoever else is left after the cancellations. Just know: we all wanted to go.

@theaarondouglas is this something we can share on our Twitter? Our readers may need to know…

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 28, 2015
@AtStakeMagazine I don’t see why not, agents are posting. As of now all of the new BSG cast, except 2, have been cancelled.

At Stake Magazine (@AtStakeMagazine) July 28, 2015
@theaarondouglas wow, okay. I’ll post. Thanks and sorry that’s all happened :(

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 28, 2015
@AtStakeMagazine Thank you. Not as sorry as we as a cast are for all the fans we’re not going to get to meet in a few days.

At Stake Magazine (@AtStakeMagazine) July 28, 2015
@theaarondouglas for sure. What a shame :(

 


 

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 28, 2015
I’m sorry but how does gassing the guests from the namesake show of your con maintain its integrity?

@theaarondouglas @TahmohPenikett Help us, the fans! Do G4 for the fans. PLEASE do this for us. #FixGalacticon4

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 28, 2015
We did not cancel ourselves. None of us did. We were all excited to go, see all of you & each other.

 


 

Dee (@deezy_marie) July 28, 2015
@theaarondouglas @MadamPres1dent @TahmohPenikett their excuse is that they lost a block of hotel rooms and didn’t have a place for actors

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 28, 2015
Completely false. There are rooms available, they’re simply unwilling to pay for them for new cast.

Dee (@deezy_marie) July 28, 2015
@theaarondouglas @MadamPres1dent @TahmohPenikett I figured that much. What a crock!!

We were all willing to “stay the course”. We were uninvited. Enough with the bullshit.

I don’t think you understand “uninvited”. would you go somewhere you’re not wanted?

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 28, 2015
Not even close. We were uninvited today in 2’s and 3’s. None of us cancelled.

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 29, 2015
I’m sorry you feel that I’ve made myself look bad. I was attempting to give fans like yourself a heads up/truth

 


 

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 29, 2015
So the con re-invited me today. I said sure if they invite the rest of cancelled BSG. They said no. Pub crawl it is! See you all Friday.

iZOMBIE: Trailer for Aaron’s episode

Here is the trailer for Aaron’s episode of iZOMBIE (1×08: Dead Air) which is airing next week (Tuesday May 5, 2015) at 9/8c on THE CW.

 

Here is a shorter trailer. Aaron is in this (same scene from the above trailer) but he doesn’t get any dialogue.

 

UPDATE: And here is the Inside The Episode video clip for Aaron’s episode. There’s no mention of Aaron or his character (radio host Chuck Burd) in the video clip but the episode’s dead character of the week is played by Erica Cerra. She is best known for playing Jo Lupo on EUREKA, but for BSG fans, you may remember that she played Maya. Maya adopted and was raising baby Hera on New Caprica (http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Maya).

For #TBT I’ve been posting screen caps of Aaron from S1 episodes of BSG on the 10 year anniversary of when they aired. The 10 year anniversary for S2 episodes doesn’t start until mid July. So until then enjoy screen caps for some of Aaron’s movie/television roles. This week’s #TBT is of Aaron as MOAC in the STARGATE SG-1 episode 3×20: Maternal Instinct. This episode was the first acting job that Aaron ever booked.

#TBT (Throwback Thursday) #42 – April 2, 2015

#TBT. Screen caps of the Chief in the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 1×13: Kobol’s Last Gleaming (Part 2). This episode aired 10 years ago on April 1, 2005. #BSG10YEARS.

Episode Synopsis: When Commander Adama learns that Kara disobeyed orders and Jumped to Caprica on orders from President Roslin, he demands the president’s resignation, with the implied threat of a military coup. Roslin refuses his demand and sparks a confrontation.

As civil war simmers in the fleet, the conflict on Caprica heats up. Kara completes her mission for Laura: She finds the Arrow of Apollo that, according to prophecy, will lead the fleet to Earth. No sooner does she pick it up, however, than she is thrust into a battle to the death with Number Six.

Meanwhile, Adama sends Sharon and Racetrack in a Raptor equipped with a Cylon transponder, to fire a nuclear warhead that will destroy the base ship. But when the missile release jams, Sharon lands the Raptor deep inside the base ship, to deliver the warhead manually.

Once outside her ship, however, Sharon is greeted by dozens of Sharon avatars, all Cylons like her, welcoming her home. She retreats, but is told that she and her fellow Cylons will meet again. She and Racetrack escape the base ship, which explodes.

Mission accomplished, Sharon returns home to the Galactica. She warmly accepts Commander Adama’s thanks and praise for a job well done, then she coldly shoots him, point-blank, in the chest..

#TBT (Throwback Thursday) #41 – March 26, 2015

#TBT. Screen caps of the Chief in the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 1×12: Kobol’s Last Gleaming (Part 1). This episode aired 10 years ago on March 25, 2005. #BSG10YEARS.

Episode Synopsis: While flying a supply patrol, Crashdown and Sharon Valerii discover a bountiful planet that can support human life. Indeed, it might be Kobol, the legendary “home of the gods.” The discovery prompts Commander Adama to send a ground team to investigate; it also gives new life to President Roslin’s belief that she is a tool of destiny and that this discovery, like her rapidly spreading cancer, is part of an ancient prophecy.

However, things are not well on the Galactica. Gaius Baltar, the new vice president, has a one-night stand with Kara Thrace and finds himself at odds with both Lee Adama and a deeply jealous Number Six.

Meanwhile, both Cylon Sharons struggle with their dual natures. On Galactica, she contemplates suicide when she realizes her programming will lead her to betray her comrades; on Caprica, she tries to convince Helo that her love for him is stronger than her loyalty to the Cylons.

After a Raptor carrying Vice President Baltar is shot down over Kobol, Commander Adama must find a way to destroy the Cylon base ship that guards the planet before he can send a rescue team. He orders Kara to fly a dangerous mission against the base ship, using the captured Cylon Raider, but Kara makes an unauthorized Jump home to Caprica instead, abandoning Adama and the stranded Raptor crew..

Today’s #TBT photo was supposed to be screen caps from the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 1×11: Colonial Day. But the Chief only had a blurry blink-and-you’ll-miss-it scene in that episode (http://aarondouglasfans.com/?p=671). So instead here’s screen caps of Aaron being all badass as Pierce in his 2nd episode of SMALLVILLE (7×14: Traveler). This episode aired 7 years ago.

CONVENTION CANCELLATION: CoastCon 38

Unfortunately Aaron has had to cancel his appearance at the CoastCon 38 convention in Mississippi this weekend (March 20-22).

THE RETURNED: Praise from Critics (Video)

Here’s one of those “PRAISE FROM THE CRITICS” videos/trailers for THE RETURNED. That’s Aaron at timestamps 00:19 (smashing his head on the desk in the police interrogation room as Nikki, Victor and Julie look on) and at 00:22 (his brother Adam hitting from behind with a shovel).

iZOMBIE: Premiers tonight (Tuesday, March 17)

iZOMBIE premiers tonight (Tuesday, March 17, 2015) at 9/8c on THE CW. Aaron will be in episode 8 (Dead Air). If they keep airing a new episode each week then his episode will air May 5th. But once I know the exact date I’ll post reminders as it gets closer to the air date.

CONVENTION APPEARANCE: CoastCon 38 (Reminder)

Aaron (Moac) and Tony Amendola (Bra’tac) will be at the CoastCon 38 convention in Mississippi this weekend (March 20 – 22).

THE RETURNED: 1×01: Camille (Previously On)

Here is the PREVIOUSLY ON video for last week’s episode of THE RETURNED (1×01: Camille). Aaron’s 2-second scene from the episode made it into the clip :) Episode 2 airs TONIGHT (Monday, March 16th) at 10/9c after Bates Motel on A&E.

The 2nd episode of Aaron’s new tv show THE RETURNED airs TONIGHT (Monday, March 16th) at 10/9c after Bates Motel on A&E. Much more screen time for Aaron in this episode :)

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: The Chief’s final scene is not on Netflix

This was brought up in the comments on the previous thread so I thought I’d repeat it here for those of you that didn’t know. If you watched BATTLESTAR GALACTICA on Netflix, you missed the Chief’s final scene. You can watch it (and the comparisons) at the link below.

http://aarondouglasfans.com/?p=15999

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: Was there a storyline that you didn’t like?

Was there a storyline on BSG that you didn’t like?

For me (and I’m sure many others), BATTLESTAR GALACTICA was/is the greatest tv series ever. For me, BREAKING BAD is a close second. But even though we have so much love for BSG, was there ever a storyline that you hated or thought was ridiculous?

For me it was the Chief and Cally as a couple. That was absolutely ridiculous. They were more brother and sister than lovers. Cally and Jammer should have been together. If you ever do a rewatch, pay attention to the two of them. And I don’t care what the shows says, Jammer was the real father of Cally’s baby, not Hotdog. Remember how Jammer was the one that helped Cally escape on New Caprica? That’s because he was her lover and her baby daddy.

So what storyline didn’t you like? Was it Starbuck and Apollo not ending up together? Or was it “what the hell was Starbuck?”. Sound off in the comments below. You can be as petty or as silly as you want, we’re just having fun :)

#TBT (Throwback Thursday) #39 – March 12, 2015

#‎TBT‬. Screen caps of the Chief in the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 1×10: THE HAND OF GOD. The Chief was only in this episode for about 8 seconds so I didn’t have enough screen caps for the #TBT image this week so I filled the last 3 spots with behind-the-scenes photos of Aaron and Nicki Clyne (Cally) from that episode. This episode aired 10 years ago on March 11, 2005. ‪#‎BSG10YEARS‬.

Episode Synopsis: As its fuel supply dwindles, the fleet must seek out a new supply of tylium ore or risk becoming sitting ducks to any Cylon attack. A recon patrol finds an asteroid full of the fuel, but there’s a catch: the Cylons have found it first and established a heavily guarded refining plant.

Kara devises a plan: Jump three decoy ships near the asteroid; when the Cylons attack, destroy their bases, leaving them stranded in space. It’s a bold tactic, but it will take luck, skill and daring to pull it off.

Meanwhile, President Roslin begins to hallucinate as a result of the chamalla she’s taking to combat her breast cancer. When she consults Elosha, a priestess who has used Chamalla to induce visions, she learns that her circumstances fulfill a 3,600-year-old prophecy.

On Cylon-occupied Caprica, Sharon and Helo’s flight from the Cylon overseers suddenly becomes more complicated when Sharon discovers she’s pregnant.

THE RETURNED: It’s not a remake of RESURRECTION

Sometimes when I make a post about Aaron’s new tv show THE RETURNED (which is premiering next week, Monday March 9), there’s questions about whether this is the same show as RESURRECTION or LES REVENANTS. So I’ve put together a little something that will hopefully clear up any confusion.

#TBT (Throwback Thursday) #38 (Bonus) – March 5, 2015

#‎TBT‬ (Bonus). Aaron’s tv show THE BRIDGE premiered on CTV (Canada) 5 years ago today on March 5, 2010.

This is the first trailer that was released. I watch it so many times back in the day that I can still quote it word for word. lol.

#TBT (Throwback Thursday) #38 – March 5, 2015

#TBT. Screen caps of the Chief in the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 1×09: TIGH ME UP, TIGH ME DOWN. If you’re wondering why there isn’t much variation in the screen caps, it’s because he was only shown on screen for about 9 seconds. This episode aired 10 years ago on March 4, 2005. #BSG10YEARS.

Episode Synopsis: President Roslin’s fears that Commander Adama is a Cylon are stoked when she learns he’s making secret wireless calls to other ships. Then, to make things worse, a single Cylon raider appears near the Galactica and begins acting strangely after being damaged in battle.

When Adama returns to the ship with Tigh’s wife, Ellen, an earthy temptress and irrepressible flirt who claims to have been in a coma since their civilization was destroyed, Roslin’s suspicions increase. She orders Baltar to screen both Ellen and Adama with his newly completed Cylon-detector.

Meanwhile, Col. Tigh and the rest of the crew watch warily and gather data as the wounded Cylon raider jumps in and out of space.

On Caprica, the Cylon overseers fear that the Cylon Sharon is developing a strange feeling toward Helo: love.

THE RETURNED: Meet The Cast

Aaron’s new tv show THE RETURNED (based on the Emmy Award-winning French series) premieres on Monday March 9th at 10/9C after Bates Motel on A&E. Aaron is playing TONY DARROW. If you’re familiar with the original French version of the show, Aaron’s character in that was TONI, who was the owner/bartender of The Lake Pub and the brother of Serge, the serial killer. In this English language version, Serge is called Adam.

The A&E website have put together a MEET THE CAST section. Attached is a screen cap of Aaron’s page.

#TBT (Throwback Thursday) #37 – February 26, 2015

#TBT. Screen caps of the Chief in the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 1×08: FLESH AND BONE. This episode aired 10 years ago on February 25, 2005. #BSG10YEARS

Episode Synopsis: A Cylon, who calls himself Leoben, is discovered on one of the ships in the fleet. Commander Adama sends Kara to interrogate him or, rather, it. The Cylon tells Kara that he planted a nuclear device on one of the ships. Although she doesn’t believe it, Kara passes on the warning.

As her colleagues search for the device, Kara engages Leoben in a battle of wills. Theological debates about souls and the humanity of Cylons lead to mind games, threats, and, ultimately, torture. Taking a personal interest in what Leoben has to say, President Roslin joins the interrogation.

On Galactica, Sharon asks Baltar to try out his new Cylon-detecting technology on her.

Meanwhile, on far-off Caprica, another Sharon conspires with her Cylon associates Doral and Number Six to convince Helo to remain on the planet and start a new life.

THE RETURNED: Preview Trailer (XXX)

Here is the 3rd trailer for Aaron’s new tv show THE RETURNED (based on the Emmy Award-winning French series). There’s no new footage of Aaron in this trailer, it’s the same scene we’ve seen from the first two trailers. That’s Aaron at time stamp 00:47, lying on the ground with a rifle being pointed at him. The series premieres on Monday March 9th at 10/9C after Bates Motel on A&E.

Aaron is playing TONY DARROW. If you’re familiar with the original French version of the show, Aaron’s character in that was TONI, who was the owner/bartender of The Lake Pub and the brother of Serge, the serial killer. In this English language version, Serge is called Adam.

 

TITLE

Description.

And because this same question always comes up whenever I post about THE RETURNED, here’s a copy & paste from previous conversations …..

RESURRECTION (the ABC tv show, starring Omar Epps) is an adaptation of ‘The Returned’ (a novel by Jason Motts). LES REVENANTS (the French tv show) is an adaptation of ‘They Came Back’ (a French movie). THE RETURNED (the A&E tv show that Aaron will be in) is the English language adaptation of LES REVENANTS (the French tv show). And to make it even more confusing, LES REVENANTS is just called THE RETURNED in English speaking countries. I refer to it by the french title to hopefully not cause any more confusion. Got it? Clear as mud? :)

#TBT (Throwback Thursday) #36 – February 19, 2015

#TBT. Screen caps of the Chief in the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 1×07: SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION. This episode aired 10 years ago on February 18, 2005. #BSG10YEARS

Episode Synopsis: When Baltar and the Number Six, who lives in his head, have a falling out, she abandons him, only to surface a short while later aboard the Galactica. But now she’s called Shelley Godfrey, everyone can see her, and she’s telling them that she has evidence, passed on by the late Dr. Amarak, that will prove Baltar sold out the human race to the Cylons.

With Baltar in a panic and trying to save himself, Number Six focuses her charms on Commander Adama. But the Commander is wary of this stunning stranger and has her followed while her evidence is analyzed.

Kara struggles to recover from her injuries while Chief Tyrol and the crew try to reverse-engineer the Cylon raider she piloted home.

Meanwhile, dual Sharons face their own challenges: on Caprica, she and Helo are on the run from Cylon centurions; on the Galactica, she’s terrified of being exposed as a Cylon herself.

Aaron is playing TONY DARROW. If you’re familiar with the original French version of the show, Aaron’s character in that was TONI, who was the owner/bartender of The Lake Pub and the brother of Serge, the serial killer.

 

Preview: Secrets

Learn more about the upcoming A&E series, The Returned, premiering on Monday, March 9 at 10/9c.

And because this same question always comes up whenever I post about THE RETURNED, here’s a copy & paste from previous conversations …..

RESURRECTION (the ABC tv show, starring Omar Epps) is an adaptation of ‘The Returned’ (a novel by Jason Motts). LES REVENANTS (the French tv show) is an adaptation of ‘They Came Back’ (a French movie). THE RETURNED (the A&E tv show that Aaron will be in) is the English language adaptation of LES REVENANTS (the French tv show). And to make it even more confusing, LES REVENANTS is just called THE RETURNED in English speaking countries. I refer to it by the french title to hopefully not cause any more confusion. Got it? Clear as mud? :)

#TBT. Screen caps of the Chief in the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 1×06: LITMUS. This episode aired 10 years ago on February 11, 2005. #BSG10YEARS

 

 

Episode Synopsis: When a new copy of Doral, a Cylon who had been previously exposed while serving as the Galactica’s public-relations officer, sneaks aboard and blows himself up, killing three people, Commander Adama and President Roslin must finally make public the terrifying secret known only to a select few: Cylons now look like humans.

Adama also appoints an independent tribunal to investigate the recent security breaches and names Sgt. Hadrian as lead investigator. When Hadrian discovers a hatch was left open, even after Chief Tyrol had reported that all were closed, she focuses the investigation on him and his relationship with Sharon.

Tyrol’s crew covers for their chief, taking the blame for his failure. When Hadrian tries to expand the inquiry, haranguing Adama about his decision not to reveal the truth about Cylons, the commander shuts down the tribunal.

Meanwhile, on Caprica, a trio of Cylons observe Helo as he tries to save himself and find the woman he thinks is Sharon.

Both Adama and Lee devote the full resources of the fleet to search for their missing fighter ace, causing some to wonder if it’s worth risking the lives of 45,000 people to save one downed pilot. When President Roslin questions their motives and points out that Kara’s oxygen was exhausted hours ago, they reluctantly call off the search.

But they haven’t counted on Kara’s resourcefulness and courage. Stranded on a red moon, her knee a twisted wreck, she struggles to relaunch a damaged Cylon fighter and return to Galactica.

The assignment brings back painful memories for Kara. She can’t forget how she let Zak, Commander Adama’s son and her lover, pass Basic Flight when he wasn’t ready, and how it ultimately cost him his life. Determined never to repeat the mistake, she flunks out the would-be pilots on their first day.

She is immediately confronted, first by Lee, then by Adama, and forced to admit to the Commander her role in Zak’s death. Adama orders her to continue training the “nuggets.” Meanwhile, Sgt. Hadrian continues her investigation into the detonators found in Sharon’s spacecraft, and President Roslin consults the ship’s doctor about her cancer.

Far away on Cylon-occupied Caprica, Sharon and Helo find a secret cache of food.

Episode Synopsis: The fleet has found a source of water, but who will take on the difficult and dangerous job of mining it from the icy planet?

The prisoners not only reject the offer but stage a uprising and hold Lee and his crew hostage. Their leader is Tom Zarek, a freedom fighter convicted of terrorism 20 years earlier. Zarek demands that Roslin step down as president and call for immediate elections to choose a new leader.

While Adama and Roslin organize an assault on the ship, Lee, who read Zarek’s radical manifesto while at college, negotiates with his captor. Back on the Galactica, Adama pressures Baltar to develop a device that can distinguish Cylons from humans.

Many light-years away on Caprica, Sharon and Helo struggle to evade the Cylons, unaware that they are being observed by Doral and Number Six.

GIRLFRIENDS’ GUIDE TO DIVORCE: Aaron’s episode will air January 27, 2015

We now have confirmation (via the BRAVO website, screen cap shown below) that Aaron’s episode of GIRLFRIENDS’ GUIDE TO DIVORCE will air on January 27, 2015 at 10/9c on BRAVO. Although Aaron’s character is not listed in the episode synopsis below (or in any of the promo photos), that is his episode. He will be guest starring in episode 9 (1×09: Rule #32: F-you, Rob Frumpkis!), playing Doug Franklin.

 

Show Synopsis: Bravo’s first original scripted series, Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce, follows Abby McCarthy (Lisa Edelstein, House), a self-help book author and guru of all things family, who shocks the world when she reveals that her seemingly perfect life has all been a lie. After publicly admitting that she has separated from her husband, Jake (Paul Adelstein, Private Practice), America’s once-favorite girlfriend finds her career and marriage in a free fall. As she starts to navigate life as a single woman in her 40s, Abby turns to her new divorced friends, rather than her married ones, for advice. Her friend Lyla (Janeane Garofalo, Reality Bites) is a legendary no-nonsense entertainment lawyer who is in a constant “War of the Roses” battle with her ex-husband, and Phoebe (Beau Garrett, Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior) is a former model and budding entrepreneur who has a very unique relationship with her ex. When she hires Delia (Necar Zadegan, Emily Owens, MD) as her divorce attorney, Abby’s brother Max (Patrick Heusinger, Royal Pains), who fought hard for the right to marry, questions his sister on how she can so easily decide to walk away from her own marriage. Abby is on a journey of self-discovery as she attempts to salvage her career, get back in the dating game and figure out her new identity as a single woman. As she hits the reset button on her life, she embarks on startling adventures and mishaps along the way, including her first post-marriage hook-up, a blog post gone horribly wrong, and a Vegas trip that leads to some unexpected complications. And, while in the process of trying and failing to have the “perfect divorce,” Abby ultimately questions whether her marriage is worth saving.

iZOMBIE: Premieres March 17th, 2015 on THE CW

We have a premiere date for iZOMBIE. It will debut on March 17th at 9pm following THE FLASH on THE CW. Aaron is guest starring in episode 1×09: Dead Air but I believe it will be airing as episode 1×08. So we should get Aaron’s episode around early May 2015.

 

The below is from the Televisions Critics Association Winter 2015 Press Tour that was held on January 11, 2015.

iZombie exec producer Rob Thomas acknowledged he “didn’t hew terribly close to the source material” in adapting the DC comic book for CW’s midseason series. Whereas the comic has a “whole monster universe,” he wanted to the show to “stay strictly zombie” because what the producers really wanted was a “case-of-the-week show,” and having a zombie working in a morgue eating corpse brains gave them that vehicle.

The crime procedural centers on Liv (Rose McIver), a medical resident who attended a party that turned into a zombie feeding frenzy. Liv takes a job at the Seattle coroner’s office so she can snack on the brains of the deceased Jane and John Does that turn up at the morgue. Eating their brains, she takes on their thoughts and skills and memories, which helps solve the mystery of their deaths. Presto, crime-of-the-week drama!

Thomas said there was a “lively and lengthy discussion” in the writers room regarding how much of the dead person’s stuff Liv would retain. If she eats the brains of someone who knows karate, will she become a karate expert?

“At the end of the day, it was more fun to say ‘yes’ to those things,” Thomas said. In the pilot, she eats the brains of someone who speaks fluent Romanian.

“I’ve never been more terrified of getting scripts,” McIver said.

Like Thomas’s Veronica Mars, iZombie uses lead-character voiceover to navigate viewers through each episode. A critic challenged him to distinguish Voiceover Liv from Voiceover Veronica.

“Attitude,” Thomas responded quickly. “Veronica was hardened.”

As a result, the Veronica Mars writers went for a “very Raymond Chandler-esque, hard-boiled cynical world view” in that character’s narration. Liv, while a zombie, is “softer” and “sweetness and light” as she discovers “things worth living for” as a zombie.

While other zombies in the show opt to go “under cover” via spray tan and hair dye, Liv remains pasty; critics asked Thomas to justify.

“The reason she does not spray tan or die her hair to look like everyone else is because she will look great on our poster,” Thomas said. “The truth is, it’s for the CW subway poster.”

Another critic wondered why zombies are so ugly on other networks’ zombie shows, but so pretty on CW’s zombie show – answering her own question. Nonetheless, Executive Producer Diane Ruggiero-Wright and Thomas explained it’s a CW show and CW wants them that way.

“We’re calling the show ZILFs,” Thomas joked, picking up on what fans already have been saying.

UPDATE: Just had it clarified by the iZombie writers that Aaron’s episode will air as 108.

THE RETURNED: Premieres March 9th, 2015 on A&E

Aaron’s new tv show THE RETURNED (based on the Emmy Award-winning French series), premieres on March 9th at 10/9c after Bates Motel on A&E.

 

Below are some highlights from the Televisions Critics Association Winter 2015 Press Tour that was held on January 9, 2015.

 

The Returned’s executive producers Carlton Cuse and Raelle Tucker emphasized that they weren’t out to fix or amend the French version of the show. “The starting point is similar, but our show becomes quite different around episode 6 where in the French version it becomes quite genre and incident heavy at episode 8,” said Cuse. He further mentioned that the FremantleMedia French series is “working independently on season two currently. Our show going forward will be wholly original.”

Source: Deadline

 

Based on the French series of the same name, A&E’s new drama series, The Returned, focuses on a small town and what happens when local people who have been dead for while return looking exactly the same as the day they died. The cast includes Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Mark Pellegrino, Jeremy Sisto, India Ennenga, Sandrine Holt, Agnes Bruckner, Sophie Lowe, Tandi Wright, Mat Vairo, Kevin Alejandro, Dylan Kingwell, Aaron Douglas , Dakota Guppy, Leah Gibson, Michelle Forbes, Rhys Ward, Scott Hylands, Terry Chen and Roger Cross.

Here are some highlights from panel:

– Executive producer Carlton Cuse says that even though the show starts off the same as the original series, they diverge on episode 6.

– Cuse said that they didn’t watch ABC’s Resurrection (which also deals with people coming back from the dead), because it wouldn’t be good for their creative process.

– “This show going forward will be wholly original,” Cuse explained because there is only one season of the French series so far and they will not base their series on anything that happens after that.

– Mary Elizabeth Winstead said that everyone reacts differently when something shocking happens, so it’s hard to know what the proper reaction is.

– Even though they didn’t mean to cast actors that looked like the original ones, it just ended up that way a lot of the time.

– When asked why people who have seen the original series should tune in to this one, Cuse explained that they wanted to take something that they would eventually make their own. He also added that there are choices made in terms of what happens at the end of the original series, that do not happen in this version.

– “Always call the police. When in doubt just call the police,”Jeremy Sisto (who plays Peter) joked when asked what he would do if someone he knew came back from the dead.

The Returned premieres Monday, March 9th at 10pm.

#TBT (Throwback Thursday) #30 – January 8, 2015

Back by popular demand (ok, one person asked me about it), I’m starting #TBT (Throwback Thursday) back up again.

#TBT to the time Aaron shaved his head for the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 4×05: The Road Less Traveled (that aired May 2, 2008). I remember when he sent me that photo (the one in the middle). He told me he had shaved his head and asked if I wanted to see. I totally freaked the frak out because I thought it was going to look awful. I opened the email and looked at it through fingers over my eyes (lol) and then it was “oh hells yes!!!” It looked fantastic. I loved it :)

IZOMBIE (Television Show)

 

Aaron will be guest starring in an episode of IZOMBIE. He signed a NDA so we can’t talk about which episode he will be in or who he plays just yet. But as soon as we can I’ll let you know. The show will air on THE CW.
[UPDATE (Jan 11, 2015): IZOMBIE premieres on March 17th at 9pm after The Flash. Aaron is guest starring in episode 1×09: Dead Air. But it will be airing as episode 1×08. So we should get Aaron’s episode around early May 2015.].

Show Synopsis: Olivia “Liv” Moore was a rosy-cheeked, disciplined, over-achieving medical resident who had her life path completely mapped out, until the night she attended a party that unexpectedly turned into a zombie feeding frenzy. Afterward, she had become part zombie and currently works at a coroner’s office so she can eat brains so she can survive, which gave her a useful ability to get the memories from said brains to help solve homicide mysteries.

THE RETURNED (Television Show)

Show Synopsis: A&E Network’s new drama The Returned, from Executive Producers Carlton Cuse and Raelle Tucker, focuses on a small town that is turned upside down when several local people, who have been long presumed dead suddenly reappear, bringing with them both positive and detrimental consequences.

ADMIN NOTE: RESURRECTION (the ABC tv show, starring Omar Epps) is an adaptation of ‘The Returned’ (a novel by Jason Motts). LES REVENANTS (the French tv show) is an adaptation of ‘They Came Back’ (a French movie). THE RETURNED (the A&E tv show that Aaron will be in) is the English language adaptation of LES REVENANTS. And to make it even more confusing, LES REVENANTS is just called THE RETURNED in English speaking countries. I referred to it as the french title to hopefully not cause any more confusion :)

#TBT. The Chief and Specialist Gage (Mike Dopud) from the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 2×12: Resurrection Ship (Part 2).

I *loved* the Chief’s “come at me bro” conversation with the “Sunshine Boys” before the scene that this #TBT photo is from.
“I’m sorry. I don’t think I quite heard that right. The glass. I can’t hear you. So, why don’t you open the door, come in, and we’ll talk about it in here”

GIRLFRIENDS’ GUIDE TO DIVORCE: Aaron Douglas lands guest-starring role

Aaron has landed a guest-starring role (playing Doug Franklin) in an episode of the new Bravo television series GIRLFRIENDS’ GUIDE TO DIVORCE. The series is based on the best-selling “Girlfriends’ Guide” book series by Vicki Iovine. Season one will consist of 13 episodes and will debut on Tuesday December 2, 2014 at 10/9c on Bravo.

UPDATE: Aaron will be in episode 1×09, which (according to IMDb) is titled Rule #32: F-you, Rob Frumpkis!

The below is from the BRAVO press release.

NEW YORK – June 19, 2014 – Bravo Media announces the commencement of production in Vancouver on its first original scripted series “Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce” starring Lisa Edelstein. The series follows Abby, a newly single self-help book author, who embarks on the next chapter of her life and finds herself seeking advice from her divorced friends Lyla, played by Janeane Garofalo and Phoebe, played by Beau Garrett. Previously announced Necar Zadegan (“Emily Owens, MD,” “24”) stars as Delia, a divorce attorney at Lyla’s firm. Premiering later this year, the hour-long series ups Paul Adelstein to a series regular playing Abby’s husband Jake, and rounds out the cast, adding Patrick Heusinger (“Royal Pains”) as Abby’s brother Max, J. August Richards (“Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” “Angel”) as Max’s husband Ford, C. Thomas Howell (“Criminal Minds,” “The Outsiders”) as Abby’s love interest Nate, Julianna Guill (“Crazy, Stupid, Love”) as Jake’s 23-year old girlfriend Becca, Michael Weaver (“The Joe Schmo Show”) as Lyla’s ex-husband Dan and Charles Mesure (“Desperate Housewives”) as Phoebe’s ex Ralf. The pilot also includes a cameo by Carrie Fisher as Abby’s book editor Cat.

Inspired by the “Girlfriends’ Guide” book series by Vicki Iovine, “Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce” is produced by Universal Cable Productions with Marti Noxon, who wrote the pilot, Vicki Iovine and Meryl Poster serving as executive producers. The pilot was directed by Adam Brooks. Robert Duncan McNeill (“666 Park Avenue,” “Chuck”) serves as Producing Director for the series.

THE RETURNED: Aaron Douglas has joined the cast of new A&E television series

Remember back in June when Aaron tweeted that he’s got a new tv show that’s filming on the old BSG sound stages? It has been listed on IMDb so I guess the cat is out of the bag :)

 

Aaron will be playing TONY DARROW in the new A&E television series THE RETURNED (IMDb / Wikipedia). Carlton Cuse (LOST, BATES MOTEL) wrote the first episode, and he and Raelle Tucker (TRUE BLOOD) will write and executive produce the series, a co-production between A&E Studios and FremantleMedia North America. The first season will consist of 10 episodes. Some of Aaron’s co-stars on THE RETURNED are Mark Pellegrino, Jeremy Sisto, Kevin Alejandro and Michelle Forbes.

THE RETURNED is the English language adaptation of the French television series LES REVENANTS (IMDb / Wikipedia / Official Website).

LES REVENANTS is available to watch on Netflix and DVD (USA, Canada, UK). So if you have the chance I recommend watching it. It does have subtitles which I thought would annoy me, but the show really is that great that you totally forget that you’re reading them.

Synopsis: THE RETURNED focuses on a small town that is turned upside down when several local people, who have been long presumed dead suddenly reappear, bringing with them both positive and detrimental consequences. As families are reunited, the lives of those who were left behind are challenged on a physical and emotional level. Interpersonal relationships are examined with intrigue and depth as strange phenomena begin to occur.

In case you’re having a feeling of deja vu … there is already a tv show that has aired on ABC called RESURRECTION that has a similar premise.

RESURRECTION (the ABC tv show, starring Omar Epps) is an adaptation of The Returned (a novel by Jason Motts). LES REVENANTS (the French tv show) is an adaptation of ‘They Came Back’ (a French movie). THE RETURNED (the A&E tv show that Aaron will be in) is the English language adaptation of LES REVENANTS.

For those of you familiar with LES REVENANTS, Aaron’s character in that was Toni, who was the owner/bartender of The Lake Pub and the brother of Serge, the serial killer.

 

Just for fun I’ve made a comparison chart of the cast from both series. The character descriptions are from LES REVENANTS.

JEROME
> The death of his daughter, Camille, in the coach accident turned Jerome's quite life upside-down. His marriage with Claire was shattered and his relationship with his other daughter, Lena, is nonexistent. Jerome has become a disenchanted, cynical man. But seeing Camille again gives him a chance to start over. Can he still save what bent over backwards to destroy?

> A haunted man, Jérôme saw his life turned upside down when his daughter Camille died in the bus accident. His marriage to Claire has fallen apart, and he has only a strained relationship with his other daughter, Léna. Will Camille's return give him a second chance with his family?

CLAIRE WINSHIP
Anne Consigny
CLAIRE
> Devastated by the death of her daughter, Camille, powerless over her husband Jerome's outrageous behaviour, Clair found unexpected solace in Pierre, head of the Outreach support group. Their strong, ambiguous relationship is both spiritual and sentimental, but it seriously complicates the ties among the Ségurets when Camille resurfaces and offers them a chance to rebuild their family.

> Faced with the devastation of her daughter Camille's death and the uncontrollable behavior of her husband, Jérôme, Claire turned to Pierre for solace and support. Their intense connection complicates matters for the family when Camille returns.

CAMILLE WINSHIP
Yara Pilartz
CAMILLE
> The day Camille died in a coach accident, her twin sister Lena made a terrible mistake that has haunted her ever since. Back from the dead three years later, Camille finds her family has totally changed: her parents' marriage is shattered to pieces and her sister Lena has built up a hard shell to hide her scars. Camille's return could be just what the family needs to rekindle their healthy family bonds.

> Waking up atop a mountain, with no memory of her fatal school-trip bus accident, Camille makes the long walk home and discovers to her horror that four years have passed. She must try to come to terms with her own fate and the sudden rift between her and her sister.
Sophie Lowe
LENA WINSHIP
Jenna Thiam
LENA
> The day her twin sister, Camille, died in the coach accident, Lena made a mistake that has been haunting her ever since. Without the extraordinary bonds she always had with her sister and forced to cope with violent arguments with her parents, Lena developed a hard shell to hide her wounds. But seeing Camille again shatters her protective shield, exposing her painful scars. Lena's reaction to her twin's return from the dead is scathed with rage. Camille will have to figure out why her beloved sister now rejects her so vehemently.

> Lena feels guilt in the loss of her sister four years ago. Her relationship is now strained with her father and she numbs herself by going to the Lake Pub everyday. When Camille returns, she must address her feelings of guilt and anger head on.
Jeremy Sisto
PETER LATTIMORE
Jean-François Sivadier
PIERRE
> Like many "born again" Christians who find redemption from a tumultuous past by focusing whole heartedly on religion, Pierre is a fanatic. As the head of the Outreach support group, he is a firm believer in the coming of a New World and the arrival of these people back from the dead only bolsters his conviction. But things that are swept under the carpet eventually surface and little by little Pierre's true nature reveals itself.

> A religious man and community leader, Pierre believes his prayers have been answered when he discovers that Camille and the others have returned. He sees the events as signs of an imminent new world.
Kevin Alejandro
SHERIFF TOMMY SOLANO
Samir Guesmi
THOMAS
> Thomas, the headstrong, authoritarian captain of police, is driven by a vital need to control things. He thought he held the reins in his city and his relationship with Adele, until the people came back from the dead, shattering his certainties and daily life. Overwhelmed by these events, and feeling threatened by Simon's return, Thomas has a brutal and unexpected reaction.

> A dedicated police captain, Thomas thought his life was stable: He had a successful career, a loving relationship with Adèle and her daughter Chloe, and a pretty good grasp of what went on in his small town. But the return of Simon and the others puts all of that into question.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
ROWAN BLACKSHAW
Clotilde Hesme
ADELE
> Simon's death, right before their wedding, and just after Adele announced she was pregnant, was devastating for her. She sunk into depression. In time, with the birth of her daughter Chloe and Thomas' loving support, Adele managed to pull her self together. Although she remains fragile, she is filled with the desire to live. Simon's return casts a shadow of doubt over everything.

> Once engaged to marry Simon, Adèle is shaken to the core when she sees her dead fiancé standing outside her front door. Her stable home life with Thomas and daughter Chloe—not to mention her own peace of mind—are threatened by his return.

SIMON
> Just a few hours before he was to wed Adele, Simon suffered a rather mysterious death. Back now, after seven years, he discovers, brokenhearted, that Adele started a new chapter in her life with the captain of police, Thomas. Simon wants to win back the love of his one and only. But to do this, he must figure out what happened on the day he died.

> What exactly happened to Simon, the groom and expectant father who died on the eve of his wedding to Adèle? He's as determined to discover how he died as he is to win back the woman he loves—who has since moved on with police officer Thomas.

> Police officer during the famous serial killings by "The Cannibal", Laure was unable to protect Julie, her former companion, from her terrible fate. With the arrival of these people back from the dead, she'll have the chance to make good and rekindle her relationship with Julie. But it's tricky business to woo a lover when the whole town's safety is in your hands. This is the challenge Laure must face.

> Police officer Laure is on the case when the returned start appearing. She is a headstrong woman with a dogmatic view of her job. Her “black and white” reality is challenged when strange events start happening in town.
Sandrine Holt
DR. JULIE HAN
Céline Sallette
JULIE
> Attacked and maimed by the serial killer known as "The Cannibal", the young nurse named Julie as been in some sort of limbo ever since, living in between two worlds, never really feeling alive. But when she meets Victor, an odd, nervous little boy, it's like an electric shock. Now that the rules governing the world order have changed, will this young woman find her peace a t last?

> An introverted nurse, whose own near death experience has scarred her and has prevented her from forming real connections, finds herself suddenly becoming caretaker to a strange and silent lost little boy, whom she calls Victor.
Dylan Kingwell
VICTOR
Swann Nambotin
VICTOR
> When Victor came to town, he was lost and disorientated, a loner. Julie gives him something to hang onto, and he won't want to let go. But what lurks behind his innocent appearance? Is Victor a lost soul longing for protection or a terrible threat to those who take him under their wing? To know the truth, Julie will have to unravel the story of this mysterious child's past.

> Who is Victor? When he suddenly appears and follows Julie home, he won't even tell her his name, instead accepting the one she gives him. Although he puts his trust completely in Julie, it's clear from the start that he has suffered and carries some terrible secret.

LUCY

The owner of the Lake Pub, he tries to live a normal life and to keep the painful memories of a tragic past stuffed away. Serge's return reopens the deepest wounds and Toni must now face the enemy he fears most: his own inner demons.

> Serge's brother has created a "normal" life for himself as the manager of the Lake Pub, but behind his façade of respectability, he is carrying the burden of his dark past. Hoping to put his painful past behind him, Toni's wounds are reopened upon Serge's return.

Guillaume Gouix
SERGE
> For months, Serge terrorised the whole town with his barbaric crimes, earning him the nickname of "The Cannibal". Mysteriously assassinated, he disappeared before his identity was known. When he comes back, Serge will have to deal with his killer instincts, which are still strong but more bothersome than in the past. And he will discover the man who put him out of commission.

> Known as "the Cannibal," Serge once terrorized the town with a series of savage murders and attacks. He himself was murdered under mysterious circumstances; upon his return, he reverts to his violent ways and begins killing again.

#TBT (Throwback Thursday) #23 – July 24, 2014

#TBT. The Chief and Boomer (Grace Park) from the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 2×04: Resistance.

 


UPDATE: This scene is slightly different in THE PLAN than it was in the episode 2×04: RESISTANCE. Screen caps and video clip below shows the scene in both versions.

 

2×04: RESISTANCE

The scene of Boomer being taken down the halls of Galactica by the guards has the camera angle at face/chest level, then there’s a shot of the Chief walking behind her. Camera zooms back so you see more of her body but it’s not the same scene that’s used in THE PLAN. Then Cally shoots her.

 

THE PLAN

The camera angle starts at Boomer’s feet and moves up her body. They walk past Dualla and Jammer, then Racetrack. Then Cally shoots her.

 


2×04: RESISTANCE

After Boomer is shot and falls back into the Chief’s arms the camera is zoomed out. Then it zooms in and Chief has his arm around the front of her chest with his hand on her shoulder. Then they show the reaction of Racetrack, Jammer and Dualla (and Gaius) and Gaeta.

 

THE PLAN

After Boomer is shot it is a different camera angle as she falls back into the Chief’s arms. Then he puts his hand on her forehead.

 


2×04: RESISTANCE

Then Chief looks up in disbelief at Cally thinking “What the frak did you do you stupid psycho bitch?!?! I frakking hate you so much. When this is over I’m going to frak you up”. OK, maybe I’m just projecting :) Then there is a shot of Cally being all smug and you just want to punch her in the face.

 

THE PLAN

Chief looks around confused as though he’s thinking “WTH just happened?”. Cally still has a smug look on her face.

 


2×04: RESISTANCE

Chief is saying “No. no. no. no. no”. He puts his hand on her gun shout wound.

 

THE PLAN

This scene is not there.

 


2×04: RESISTANCE

Chief is saying “Hey, Hey, Ssshhh, Ssshhh”. Boomer tells him “I love you, Chief” and then she dies. Then he looks up thinking “the woman I love most in this world has died and it’s all Cally’s fault. I am going to get my revenge on that bitch”. Again, I may be projecting my hatred of Cally ;)

 

THE PLAN

This scene looks to be the same.

 


Video clip of the scene in 2×04: RESISTANCE and then in THE PLAN

NOTE: The video will wait until it is fully buffered before playing.

Here is the trailer for Aaron’s episode of FALLING SKIES (4×05: Mind Wars) which is airing this Sunday (July 20, 2014) on TNT. You can see Aaron on screen in this trailer around the 00:17 time stamp.

#TBT (Throwback Thursday) #22 Bonus Photo – July 17, 2014

#TBT Bonus photo. Peter DeLuise & Aaron playing Detectives in the 2003 movie BEFORE I SAY GOODBYE. The two of them tweeting each other yesterday (https://twitter.com/theaarondouglas/status/489614700569583617) reminded me of this movie they were in together.

#TBT (Throwback Thursday) #22 – July 17, 2014

#TBT. Cally (Nicki Clyne), Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) and the Chief from the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 2×20: Lay Down Your Burdens (Part 2).

“What do you want to do now, Captain?”

 

Here’s a bit of interesting trivia …. The first single from ANTHRAX’s 2011 album ‘Worship Music’ was titled FIGHT ‘EM ‘TIL YOU CAN’T. The name came from this BSG episode. And we all know what a huge ANTHRAX fan Aaron is.

Below is a copy and paste from the biography page of the band’s website …

“‘Fight’em ‘Til You Can’t’ is about humans fighting the Cylons,” adds Scott, referring to the title’s relationship to a famous line in the recently re-imagined space epic “Battlestar Galactica.” “My take is more Zombie-oriented than Cylon oriented, but I think you could absolutely read it as Anthrax fighting until we can’t. I’m sure that was in the back of my mind. As much as I like the idea of it just being a fun-filled Zombie killing romp, that emotional thread pretty much runs through everything I’m doing lyrically, you can’t keep me down, I’m gonna do what I’m gonna do.”

Nickel Brook Brewery – Aaron Douglas’ ‘So Say We Ale’ IPA

Remember Aaron’s SO SAY WE ALE IPA?

 

It looks like people have been drinking it in Toronto. Here are some reviews and photos at Untappd (average rating of 3.5 out of 5). These reviewers at RateBeer all gave it 7 out of 10.

 

I have no idea if it is still available but if you’re in TO you could try these places (list via TapList).

Bar Hop: 391 King Street West, Toronto, ON
Thirsty and Miserable: 197.5 Baldwin, Toronto, ON
The Only Cafe: 972 Danforth Ave, Toronto, ON
The Rhino: 1249 Queen St W, Toronto, ON
The Ship: 23 Augusta St., Hamilton, ON

 

There is a Rotary Beer Tasting Festival tomorrow evening (July 17) from 6pm-11pm in Richmond Hill (Ontario). Nickel Brook Brewery are going to be there so I guess that Aaron’s IPA will be there too (???).

HEMLOCK GROVE: Sheriff Sworn’s absence in S2

In episode 3 of season 2 of HEMLOCK GROVE they mention why SHERIFF SWORN (Aaron’s character) isn’t there anymore. Yep, he blew himself up with his basement bomb *eyeroll*. And he is replaced as the Sheriff by Michael Chasseur, the brother of Kandyse’s character (Dr. Clementine Chasseur).

NOTE: The video will wait until it is fully buffered before playing

HEMLOCK GROVE: Did Sheriff Sworn accidentally blow himself up?

As we already know, SHERIFF SWORN (Aaron’s character) is not in S2 of HEMLOCK GROVE. Look at what I just found online from the TV Addict interview with Executive Producer Chic Eglee.

We were joking in a couple of threads on the facebook fanpage (HERE and HERE) that they’ll probably explain Sheriff Sworn’s absence in S2 by saying he blew himself up in his basement. From the sounds of that interview, looks like we were right.

#TBT (Throwback Thursday) #21 – July 10, 2014

#TBT. Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) and the Chief from the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 2×09: Flight Of The Phoenix. This scene where the Chief removes the nose drape from the Blackbird to reveal he named it Laura always makes me cry :'(

 

UPDATE: Because some of you on the facebook fanpage and twitter agree with me on how it makes you weepy, here is the video clip of the above scene.

NOTE: The video will wait until it is fully buffered before playing

HEMLOCK GROVE: Reminder that Sheriff Sworn is not in S2

Season 2 of HEMLOCK GROVE premieres on Netflix this Friday (July 11, 2014). Just a reminder that SHERIFF SWORN (Aaron’s character) is not in S2 and therefore we will never know how this scene was going to play out :(

ZODIAC: SIGNS OF THE APOCALYPSE: Airing August 16, 2014 on SyFy

We finally have an air date for ZODIAC: SIGNS OF THE APOCALYPSE, the Syfy movie that Aaron filmed last year with Christopher Lloyd and Joel Gretsch.
It will air on the SyFy channel in the USA on August 16 at 9pm (EST).

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3102206/

 

There hasn’t been a SyFy press release about this yet so we don’t have an official synopsis. But I came across several synopses for the movie online ….

After discovering evidence that the ZODIAC is actually a doomsday prophecy of twelve GLOBAL DISASTERS, a retired archeologist and his son find themselves in a race against time to unite a legendary stone and a hidden, ancient machine with the power to save the world.

The earth is hit with disasters of unprecedented scale, and only a stone of untold power, coupled with a machine erected by an eccentric millionaire, can avert the apocalypse. Professor Neil McElroy (Joel Gretsch) and his small band of believers have the means to stop catastrophe — but first, they must elude well-meaning but misguided federal agent, Woodward (Aaron Douglas), whose unwavering skepticism just may bring about the end of the planet.

A curator of her university’s collection of antiquities is thrilled when a new artifact arrives: a 2,000-year-old ivory carved astrology board. But little does she know that the fate of all humanity will soon be decided by this ivory board’s deadly forces.

As curator of her university’s collection of antiquities, Elizabeth is thrilled when a new artifact arrives a 2,000-year-old ivory carved astrology board. But little does she know that the fate of all humanity will soon be decided by the deadly forces this mystical ivory board is about to unleash on mankind…

A museum curator gets more than she bargained for when an ancient astrology board shows up at work… an ancient astrology board that could DESTROY THE WORLD!

12 global disasters are threatening the world and a retired archaeologist holds the keys to prevent its end…

After discovering evidence that the ZODIAC is actually a doomsday prophecy of twelve GLOBAL DISASTERS, a retired archeologist and his son find themselves in a race against time to unite a legendary stone and a hidden, ancient machine with the power to save the world.

“I don’t even know why I’m mad at you. My Sharon’s dead. That thing in the brig, that isn’t Sharon”

FALLING SKIES: Season 4 Premiere

The S4 premiere of FALLING SKIES airs tonight in the USA on TNT. Aaron will be in episode 5 (4×05: Mind Wars) which airs July 20th. But I’ll give everyone a reminder as it gets closer to the date.

UPDATE: In Canada the S4 premiere is June 26th on Super Channel and Aaron’s episode will air on July 24th.
In Australia the S4 premiere is on June 26th on FOX8, so Aaron’s episode will air July 24th (same date as Canada).
In the UK the S4 premiere is July 15 on FOX, so doing the math that means Aaron’s episode should air August 12.

Aaron to co-star in a new television series

Aaron has landed a role as one of the main cast members on a new television show. I’ll post the news on exactly what the show is (and his character) once we’ve been given permission to do so.

Brother Cavil: Oh, well, maybe because I’m a Cylon and I’ve never seen you at any of the meetings.

THE MENTOR: Available to purchase (USA only)

For those of you in the USA, Aaron’s movie THE MENTOR is available to purchase on YouTube. It’s $3.99 for SD or $4.99 for HD. I’m not entirely sure how this purchasing thing works because I’m outside the USA. I tried to pay for it via PayPal and using my credit card but they wouldn’t accept it because they’re not USA accounts. But for those of you that want to purchase/watch it, hopefully it’s self explanatory.

#TBT. Aaron in movies with “famous” people.

I accidentally left my external hard drive (with all the good photos) at home, so apologies for the lame #TBT this week. The word “famous” is used loosely and “in the movie with” for some of these is a bit of a stretch *cough*CATWOMAN*cough*. And I swear that is Michael Keaton in the last photo. That’s him in front of Aaron with his back to the camera.

James Callis’ tweet to Aaron

I *LOVE* this tweet from James Callis to Aaron. It made me LOL.

James is referencing a conversation that Chief and Baltar have in the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 2×03: Fragged.

Chief: Doc…let’s go. We’re moving out. Doc, you hear me? We’re moving out.

Baltar: I did hear you, Chief. I just don’t respond to the title “Doc.” A “dock” is a platform for loading and unloading material. My title is “doctor,”or “Mr. Vice president,” if you don’t mind.

Chief: You are loading, are you not?

THE ORCHARD: Aaron to star in short film

Aaron is heading to Ashcroft tomorrow to star in the short film THE ORCHARD. The film is based on the comic book of the same name written by Ed Brisson.
If you don’t mind spoilers you can read the comic by clicking on the image below. Aaron will be playing Jack.

 

THE ORCHARD was one of the recent BravoFACT Award Recipients. BravoFACT (Foundation to Assist Canadian Talent) is a Canadian fund established in 1995 that has distributed millions of dollars in awards to Canadians for the production of short form scripted projects.

BravoFACT has a YouTube channel so maybe we’ll see THE ORCHARD on there. Or maybe it will be available to purchase on iTunes like CORVUS one of the Directors previous movies was. Once I find out when/where it will be available to watch I’ll be sure to let everyone know.

 

The below information on the film is from the BravoFACT website.

Description:
Charles, a small-town cop, finds himself in a life-altering dilemma when his long-time partner, Jack, kidnaps and murders a homicide suspect.

Credits:
Darcy Van Poelgeest ….. Director/Editor
Ed Brisson ….. Writer
Mike Gill ….. Producer
Lawra Robertson ….. Producer
Phil Lanyon ….. Director of Photography
Menalon ….. Composer

Aaron Douglas ….. Jack
Aaron Poole ….. Charlie
Camille Sullivan ….. Katie

 

The below is from the website of the director Darcy Van Poelgeest.

The Orchard is a new short film currently in pre-production to be released in the summer of 2014. The film is written and directed by Darcy Van Poelgeest. Produced by Mike Gill. Based on a comic book by Ed Brisson.

THE ORCHARD: Tweets from Director, Producer, Writer, etc

Below are tweets from the Director, Producer, etc of the short film THE ORCHARD. Any tweets about Aaron are HERE.

THE MENTOR: First promo photo

The Lifetime website has been updated to include a photo of Aaron and Jes Macallan from the movie THE MENTOR. What an awful an unflattering photo of Aaron.

 

Looks like that’s the promo photo they’re going with because they also added it to the SCHEDULE page.

 

I didn’t tweet that photo because I thought he’d kill me. But I did send it to him and he has tweeted it himself. haha.

THE DRIFTLESS AREA: Aaron has booked a cameo

EXCLUSIVE NEWS: Aaron will probably tweet about it later but we’re getting the news first. Aaron is filming a cameo in the movie THE DRIFTLESS AREA. He is playing a fireman/bartender.

THE MENTOR: Not airing on May 31st as previously announced

I guess that A&E press release that said Aaron’s movie THE MENTOR was going to air at 8pm on May 31st was incorrect. The schedule (http://www.mylifetime.com/movies/schedule) shows things airing at 11am, 1pm, 3pm and 5pm. But nothing for 8pm. I thought maybe they were waiting to add it later. But yesterday the schedule was updated up until June 29th and still no mention of THE MENTOR. I found another link to a schedule (http://www.mylifetime.com/lifetime-tv-schedule/PT/1/2014-05-31) and that shows something called ‘Petals on the Wind’ airing at 8pm on May 31st. I’ll let you know if I hear any news on when it’s going to air.

 

THE STRAIN: Series premiere July 13, 2014

We finally have a date for the series premiere of THE STRAIN. If they air one episode each week then Aaron’s episode (1×07: For Services Rendered) should be airing on August 24th, 2014.

#TBT. Behind-the-scenes photo of Grace Park and Aaron during the filming of the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 2×20: Lay Down Your Burdens (Part 2). I was hoping this was Boomer but it’s Athena. It’s from when they were shooting the scene where Starbuck, Anders, Helo, Athena and Cavil have arrived back on Galactica and Chief realises the Cavil is a Cylon. Copy & paste of the scene from Wikipedia below if you need a reminder.

When Starbuck’s rescue team returns to Galactica, an alarmed Chief Tyrol notices a copy of Brother Cavil among the rescued Caprican survivors and alerts security. The man admits to being a Cylon and is taken to the brig along with Sharon Agathon, who knew Cavil was a Cylon agent and didn’t warn them. Sharon later explains to Helo that she didn’t warn them because she believes Adama killed her baby and that she no longer cares what happens to her. – Wikipedia

My HEMLOCK GROVE S1 dvd finally arrived from Amazon UK (I think it was sent by carrier pigeon). Make sure you check out the extras because Aaron is in quite a few of them. The Blu-ray has an exclusive extra titled “Eli Roth Unplugged” that runs for 90mins. But I don’t own a Blu-ray player so I can’t check if he’s in that.

For weeks, Tyrol has been having the recurring dream that he walks onto the upper level of the hangar deck, climbs over the railing and commits suicide himself by jumping to his death. Cavil says it is because Tyrol has a subconscious desire to kill himself. Tyrol explains that he has had the gnawing worry since Sharon Valerii died that he might himself be a Cylon. Sharon Valerii never really knew she was a Cylon, even up to the point that she died, but reported strange fears that something bad was going to happen and she had to stop herself: how would Tyrol, or anyone else, really know if they were a Cylon sleeper agent or not? Tyrol is frightened by the prospect. — Battlestar Wiki

THE KILLING: The fourth and final season on Netflix (August 1, 2014)

The fourth and final season of THE KILLING will air exclusively on NETFLIX (in all territories, according to their facebook page) on August 1, 2014. Unfortunately Aaron is not in the final season. But for those of you that watched the show (or just season 3 because Aaron was in it), you will know that S3 ended on a cliffhanger. I’m so glad it’s coming back even if it is for just 6 episodes.
