I generally hate the whole shaky cam docu soap idea

So do I but it wasn't too bad. I just wish such film crews were locked more often in closets as Beckett did at the end!

I know why they think shaky filming looks effective but imo it spoils practically every film/show that its used - it very nearly ruined the Bourne films for me. It doesn't convey action to me - it just means they couldn't afford Steadicam after the actors fees.

So becket correctly pointed out that you don't need money to make a call to 911 from a street phone, but neither realized that you can make calls to emergency numbers on a smartphone no matter the screen lock? it says emergency call RIGHT THERE!!!

This is borderline irresponsible on the writer's part. Even back in the day, I think some phones would even react to a 911/112 dial when turned off.

Another shiny Firefly reunion is headed Castle?s way.

TVLine has learned exclusively that Gina Torres, who played Zoe to Nathan Fillion?s Mal on the short-lived, much-loved Fox sci-fi series, will guest-star on the ABC drama as Samantha Foster, a successful fashion mogul who comes off as ruthless and fierce on a Real Housewives-esque reality show. But get this ? she may be even more devious when the cameras aren?t rolling.

Torres will appear in this season?s 14th episode, ?Reality Star Struck,? which would seem poised to air during February sweeps. (Castle resumes Season 5 on Jan. 7, with the episode ?Significant Others.?) Previously, Firefly?s Adam Baldwin guested on Castle, in an April 2012 episode.

Since her time aboard the Serenity, Torres has enjoyed runs on series such as 24 and Alias. She currently costars on USA Network?s Suits as Jessica Pearson.

Time to get on the phone to Liam Neeson.

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you."

I was honestly expecting Liam Neeson to be his father LMAO that would have been epic.

'Castle' to be renewed with a rare two-season pick-up

castle-to-be-renewed-with-a-rare-two-season-pick-up.jpg

Fans of the ABC series 'Castle' rejoice!

While there was never any doubt that the police dramedy would return for a sixth season, Deadline is reporting that ABC is giving 'Castle' a rare two-season pick-up which will ensure the series survives until at least the close of season seven.

This is quite a change of pace for the ABC series which spent its first two seasons on the proverbial chopping block, constantly unaware and uncertain of its future. Now, 'Castle' has more than proven itself over a five-season span, having built a loyal fan following. The series stars fan favorite Nathan Fillion ('Buffy the Vampire Slayer,' 'Firefly,' 'Desperate Housewives'), a man who is a staple of comic book conventions and nerd-culture appearances. Fillion's role as Richard Castle is by far his longest-standing role to date--here's hoping that by the end of season seven he'll be referred to as "the guy from 'Castle'" instead of 'the guy from 'Firefly,'" a series that lasted a single season.

A far cry from the tenuous survival of its first two seasons, 'Castle's fifth season is now ranked as ABC's #1 ranked drama series in primetime. This is partly thanks to the lead-in of the hit reality competition 'Dancing with the Stars,' however it is a testament to the quality of 'Castle' that the viewers choose to tune in week in and week out.

'Castle' is about a mystery novelist who becomes a liason to the NYPD after a serial killer begins claiming victims by following the plots of Richard Castle's novels. The season finale of the fifth season of 'Castle' will be airing soon on ABC.

I LOVE Castle, even if it has gone a bit silly.

I wonder if that means they are giving it 2 years to close out, or they are just giving it two seasons because its popular.

I love the show as well, and very happy it's going to continue.

I believe it's a bit of both. The show is very popular so they want to keep it going on the other hand they will get to season 7 which maybe be enough for a show like this.

Yeah, I think the show might not work if it goes too long but on the other hand it might be fine if they do some new and good overarching plots for the seasons like they had before with trying to find her mothers killer etc.

So the season ended with Castle proposing to Kate (Effectively begging/forcing her not to go to Washington to take the new Government job)

Quite the cliffhanger. I kept thinking throughout the episode though, "Why doesn't Castle just move to D.C. with Kate?" It's not like he'd be abandoning his family; Martha's got her acting school (and she could probably stay in Castle's apartment), and Alexis is living and studying at Columbia University.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
