Law & Order Svu welcomed Kelli Giddish onto the team full-time in its thirteenth season. Giddish would remain on the show for over a decade until her recent departure in 2022. Her partner Mariska Hargitay was especially saddened by the news, as she developed a close bond with Giddish over the years.

Hargitay had seen many Law & Order stars come and go over the years. She even outlasted the show’s original lead Chris Meloni, who left the series for a decade before returning in Organized Crime. Giddish was another co-star she had to say goodbye to after their long journey together. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Hargitay touched on what Giddish meant to her.

The Sex and the City franchise may have experienced a recent resurgence thanks to its Max spin-off. But there was a time when Chris Noth felt there was no coming back for the show.
Why Chris North felt ‘Sex and the City’ was done for Chris Noth | Jason Howard/Bauer-Griffin/Gc Images
Before being written off the series, Noth was a major part of the hit HBO show. His character, Mr. Big, carried over to the series’ two movies. Before And Just Like That, some fans wondered if there might be a third installment in the film series. Noth was one of many actors who was asked about the possibility of a second sequel.
“Everybody always asks me and I’m always the last to know. Really! I’ll believe the film when they call Action and until they do that its all just useless chit chat,” Noth once told Vogue.

"In Essentials, mathematician Harris Pax predicted the end of the world, but failed to prevent it. Now he’s living alone in a bunker and his niece’s favorite toys are starting to talk to him. The good news? He’s not the world’s sole survivor. The bad news? The other survivors are trapped in alternate realities — trapped in imagined worlds full of zombies, pterodactyls, and chaos. And now Harris Pax and an unlikely ally must travel the country on a quest to restore reality, save humanity, and defeat his new interdimensional nemesis: Snuggles."

Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) was always the more traditionally-minded friend on Sex and the City. While Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon), and Samatha Jones (Kim Cattrall) often embraced their singleness, Charlotte was determined to get her husband and children.
Interestingly enough, Davis was initially asked to audition for the role of Carrie. However, the actor quickly discovered that Charlotte would be a much better fit for her.

Universal Robots Written by Mac Rogers Directed by Jordana Williams Presented by Gideon Productions The Sheen Center, NYC June 3-26, 2016 (special performances: parents’ matinee, 6/12; audio described for the visually impaired, 6/15; Asl interpreted, 6/23)
Contemporary theater is not exactly bursting at the seams with works in the science fiction genre. With a new production of Mac Rogers’ 2009 Universal Robots, Rogers and Jordana Williams, the writer and director respectively of last year's acclaimed extraterrestrial invasion play cycle The Honeycomb Trilogy, reunite to continue bucking that trend. Universal Robots uses multigeneric Czech writer Karel Čapek's influential 1920 play R.U.R., commonly translated as Rossum's Universal Robots, "as a point of departure for an original speculative drama," borrowing some situations and concepts while crafting an alternate history that differs from our own in some smaller ways (real-life Čapek's brother and writing partner Josef becomes Josephine) and some much larger ones that we won’t spoil the fun of finding out here. Though Čapek's life and corpus provide the intertextual focus, audiences will also be put in mind of the works of writers including Philip K. Dick and Isaac Asimov, as well as of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, shades of which permeate not only the often Futurist aesthetic of the set but also the play's consideration of the means of production.
Universal Robots begins in Czechoslovakia a few years after its founding in 1918. Karel (Jorge Cordova), his sister Jo (Hanna Cheek), and his literary friends Vaclavek (Tarantino Smith) and Salda (Greg Oliver Bodine) meet every Friday in a cafe owned by Radosh (Jason Howard) to debate art, politics, and other Big Ideas. Their circle is joined on occasion by Tomas Masaryk (Sara Thigpen), the president of their "infant nation." Vaclavek criticizes Karel as a counter-revolutionary and a propagandist puppet of the President for his refusal to accept socialism as a viable option. The President, meanwhile, believes that government must be a form of Christian charity, and argues that the atheist Karel is really a Christian himself underneath it all. All of this discussion leads to a debate on the relative merits of fantastical and realistic theater, which in turns leads to a play by the Čapeks that imagines the consequences of an artistic class supported by a drudge class created by pills taken by expectant mothers.
Life -- or, artificial life -- imitates art when Helena Rossum (Brittany N.Williams), a fan of Karel’s and the daughter of a pair of scientists, appears at the cafe with a robot. The automata is pushed inside in a wooden wheelchair with a white cloth covering its head, looking like nothing so much as Hamm from Beckett’s Endgame, an appropriate echo given the emphasis in both plays on servitude and the importance of storytelling in/and memorialization. Just as, historically, Josef Čapek was responsible for R.U.R. being the first text to employ the word robot -- derived from the Czech robots, meaning forced labor or, metaphorically, drudgery in its current usage -- Rogers’ Jo lands on the term to replace Drudge, automata, or creature. Karel advocates to the end for depersonalizing language, including a ban on first-person or gendered pronouns, in order to maintain the distinction between the robots and humans, and it is interesting to note that it works for the audience, too, at least until it doesn't.
We learn that Helen's father is dead, and her mother, a driven, pure scientist who goes simply by Rossum (Tandy Cronyn) is working on continuously improving these robots (which are what we would probably call androids) and needs funding, but wants it to be from the “right” people. With the President’s approval, Peroutka (Neimah Djourabchi), a scientist and friend of the Čapeks, joins Rossum’s project, and the Čapeks themselves become its ethics advisors. Unsurprisingly, ethics becomes a central concern once mass production begins. The steadily increasing learning and sensory abilities of the robots engender increasingly thorny issues that range from the interpersonal and emotional to the roles of and in labor (one short question asked about robots for pedophiles could probably support its own two-hour play), and these issues come to a head as the Nazi threat looms and they are visited by Bernard Baruch (Greg Oliver Bodine), ostensibly negotiating on behalf of Fdr and the United States government, but also there on behalf of his fellow Jews. Regarding what follows, we will say only that Rossum’s robots turn out to be too much of a success.
Over the course of Universal Robots, these developments cause Karel and Jo to grow apart, and Jo becomes the true ethical voice as some of the robots move towards their "finished" form. The early cafe arguments over whether violence against an Other is an unavoidable mechanism of historical change (Masaryk's government massacred its opponents, but Masaryk knows that Vaclavek's socialist revolution would begin with the same tactics) find parallels in the play’s late stages. Soldiers and how they are used and discarded form a set of parallels both with our historical present (extending to Ptsd) and with the play’s other laborers. At least some of these connections would suggest that certain aspects of history are cyclical, and the play introduces both the idea that the inventors, the "brilliant freaks," are the ones who truly change history, not politicians or playwrights, and the idea that the most dangerous person is just such a dreamer when he or she is possessed of the power to realize his or her dream.
The gender-blind casting of Masaryk creates in her conflict with Rossum an extra textual effect of two powerful women each fighting for such a dream, and both are excellent at projecting strength and purpose under tremendous burdens. Jo is the heart of the play in more than one sense, and Hanna Cheek turns in a subtle, nuanced, and affecting performance in the role. Jason Howard, in addition to playing the steady, admiring Radosh, forges a similarly impressive, physically detailed, and notably evolving performance as the robot Radius. Jorge Cordova creates a charismatic Karel who loves his art, his family, and his country equally; his fellow intellectuals; Nikki Andrews-Ojo's imposing robot, Sulla; and the rest of the coterie of robots are likewise well-played.
Universal Robots combines allegory, allusion, humor, and propulsive storytelling to fashion a sweeping, almost Shakespearean sci-fi experience. Give your robot avatar the day off and go see this production for yourself. - Leah Richards & John Ziegler

So where have I been for nearly a month?
I was in Boulder, Colorado, USA. And before you make the inevitable joke, No. I was there for a wedding. And every moment Not dedicated to that wedding was spent either hiking in the mountains or drinking at a brewery. It was glorious.
Boulder, though, is not my town. That place, frankly, can’t handle me. A relative and I were strolling down Boulder’s “Main Street,” when I casually dropped the F-bomb. Admittedly, I didn’t pull my punch and I’m fully aware of how my voice broadcasts, often unintentionally. But the simultaneous attention of no less than 4 individuals who all seemed at least startled by my expletive definitely did not justify the rather mild delivery of said swear word. I double-checked; there were no children nearby upon whose behalf these people could be appalled for by my obscenity.

This issue is the first to not introduce any new characters and instead focuses on just three people: Chenglei, Eligia, and the old man in Italy.

Thanks to the kindly efforts of Mars Attacks: First Born author Chris Ryall, I’ve become aware that Comixology has been unintentionally misleading me. Really, if anything, I’ve been misleading myself but I refuse to take All the blame because, well, who actually does that, ever? Regardless, it turns out I’ve been sorely mistaken on the page count for several comics, including Mars Attacks: First Born, because two-page spreads are only counted as single pages in Comixology’s reader. As a result, the previous issue of Mars Attacks: First Born was actually a perfectly fine 21 pages and not a mere 20, as I said in my review. I didn’t discover this until after I’d already written this week’s review of Mars Attacks: First Born but in the interest of transparency, I left in my comments about the page count.

It’s hard to know what to make of this series. On the one hand, this issue has a lot more going on in terms of dialogue and exposition, and the premise of human life going on around the extraterrestrial is interesting.. On the other hand, there still isn’t much action happening in this book. Perhaps Warren Ellis is simply planning a slow-burn comic book that will eventually explode, or perhaps he wants to tell a story at an unusual pace. The book is offering tantalizing ideas of stories to tell, but at the moment, they’re nothing but glimpses of things that could happen.
Most of the issue focuses on the research group in Svalbard. One of the researchers, Marsh, has taken notice of the unusual black poppies growing on their research drone. He points...

Can We Please Just Get A Comic Book Adaptation Of ‘Jericho’ Already?
And no, I’m not talking about that one TV show. I think they already did a comic of that and that got cancelled too.
No, I’m referring to the video game ‘Jericho,’ written by Cliver Barker. It is seriously gut-wrenching stuff. I mean, it wasn’t a great game. But it would make a hell of a comic book.

Published by Image Comics
We are living in the midst of a boom in good Science-Fiction comic writing. Trees is the latest Sci-Fi story from acclaimed author Warren Ellis. The comic book deals with the discovery of alien life, or more specifically, the fact that alien life doesn’t regard humanity as being particularly significant. The book takes place in three different locations and examines how human society has been shaped and changed by the presence of intelligent life that has, quite literally, been placed smack-dab in the middle of our civilization.
The story takes place ten years after the so-called “Trees” have landed all across Earth. Their purpose is totally unknown to human beings, and apart from the fact that the Trees discharge toxic waste periodically, they do not interact with our species at all. The book focuses on the...

Superior Spider-Man #19 Shakes Up the Spider-Man Timestream
Writer: Dan Slott
Art: Ryan Stegman
Colors: Edgar Delgado
Cover: Ryan Stegman and Jason Howard
Marvel often likes to boast how a certain story is going to shake things up and forever change the Marvel universe. So when Dan Slott began teasing across social media and during interviews that Superior Spider-Man #19 was just such a story, some may have taken it with a grain of salt and a roll of the eyes. Especially if they haven’t been a fan of the writer’s controversial run featuring the insidious mind of Doctor Octopus in the body of Peter Parker. But it seems the Superior Spider scribe wasn’t just pulling our webs, as this most recent issue delivered on its promise to shake things up.
After purging himself of Peter Parker’s memory fragment, Octavius is left with only the memories of Peter that he’s previously accessed.

The Movement #1, Gail Simone, Freddie Williams II, DC Comics
I’ve dabbled with Simone’s work on Batgirl, which despite her being on, off and on again during its New 52 run over what seems like office politics, has been consistently strong. Barbara Gordon is arguably one of the more complex characters of the Bat Family and in Simone’s hands she’s been both likable and relatable.

Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá can do no wrong, and Daytripper is their best and most personal work to date. The Brazilian twins tell the story, or rather stories, of writer Brás de Oliva Domingos; each chapter is a day in the life of Brás, with each day ending in the same way. Daytripper is one of the most poignant comics I have ever read, chapter 8 especially, which is odd as Brás is absent for that story. I look forward to seeing how Moon & Bá follow this.

The Amazing Spider-man | Marvel | W: Dan Slott | A: Humberto Ramos
For the past few years Marvel has led the way when it comes to the quality of comics available on Free Comic Book Day. This issue is a perfect jumping on point for new Spider-man fans, Slott and Ramos start with a Spidey recap and a double page spread of his origin. The main story is a classic hero controlled by villain verse hero fight, where Spidey, now lacking his spider-sense, must use his brains to defeat the villain and in doing so comes to realise that he needs combat training from Master of Kung-Fu – Shang Chi. The story ties into what Slott is current doing on Amazing Spider-man and leads into...

In the last few months Image Comics has released a string of super-hot sell out new titles. This week, wunderkind writer and Image partner, Robert Kirkman weighs in with his mad-cap silly Super Dinosaur series. And by silly… I mean over-the-top awesome fun!
Not all comics today need to be dark, grim tales aimed at the 20-something market to be successful must-reads. It is exciting to see Image Comics bringing out a book that is clearly meant to appeal to younger readers, and that doesn’t condescend to its audience, or is a product of the latest hero movie marketing drive. Super Dinosaur #1 is fun, fast moving, smart, and excellently illustrated. Yes it is silly, but this comic will delight young and older readers alike!

Acclaimed comic book writer Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead, Invincible) is ready to unleash another original series for Image comics which he describes as "Pixar on paper"; behold Super Dinosaur. Kirkman, in collaboration with Jason Howard (The Astounding Wolf-Man), has unveiled his all ages series Super Dinosaur, which is set to hit shelves April, 2011. "I'm kind of setting out to do what's essentially a Pixar movie on paper. I probably won't achieve that, but I figure that if you aim for the sun, you might get halfway. The idea is that this is going to be as complex as Invincible and Walking Dead. There are going to be subplots. I'm not trying to write this in any different kind of way. I want it to be a true all-ages book in that it's appropriate for kids young enough but still...

My readers know that I’m a big fan of the Pittsburgh Comicon. It’s a very fan-friendly show, meaning that instead of simply being ushered through cattle lines for a 3 second autograph there is time to chat with your favorite comic artists and writers. There are plenty of up-and-coming talents there eager to show their stuff and compliment your sketchbook with an inexpensive illustration. I’ve made a lot of friends at every level of that show. The only drawback to the Pittsburgh Comicon is that it’s in Pittsburgh, and I’m in St. Louis. It’s 10 hours by car. There are some sneaky speed traps in Indianapolis. And doggone it, there’s no reason my hometown can’t get a convention going. Chicago does two every year, and like the Yankees and Red Sox rivalry, anything Chicago can do St.

This Image Comics title sold out of its first printing immediately, so the good folks at Image have seen fit to reprint it this week. Check out the full cover image after the jump. According to Image, Jason Howard (The Astounding Wolf-Man) and Ryan Ottley (Invincible) present "two exciting new characters, told in two full-length stories and featuring a special prose origin story written by Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead)".
