Xen Talks The Protocol At NY Comic Con

The actress and acting coach Xen Sia attended the recent New York Comic Con event to promote a new comic book called Treadwater, aka TRDWTR.

Although Treadwater exists as a traditional comic book, and there is an animated series and much cross-media material (videos, websites etc.), they are using real-life actors to portray the characters in promotional material. Xen is one of them. There is also talk of Treadwater becoming a live action TV series.

As part of her endorsement work at the NY Comic Con Xen was interviewed by Michael Artsis for the BeTerrific!! (their exclamation marks) website. During the chat she also talked about another new project: The Protocol. Regular readers will know a pilot for this possible TV series was filmed in the summer of 2013, with Kathryn making an appearance whilst she was heavily pregnant with her twin boys. The photo above was taken on the set during filming. Xen makes reference to Kathryn’s character, who we know to be called Grace, also being pregnant. I’m not sure that was quite the coincidence that Xen implies.

Just a few weeks ago I reported on The Protocol‘s increasing presence on IMDb, suggesting there is a move to make the show happen. Whether it will or not is another matter.

The Protocol is set in a not too distant future when the government mandates that all citizens take drugs, the titular ‘Protocol’, to control behaviour. None compliance sees you banished to a dystopian realm.

During her discussion Xen makes much of praising Kathryn for her work so far in the likes of Cold Case as well as her nurturing attitude towards an upcoming actress. Xen says the sort of things that we, as fans and followers of Kathryn, would completely expect her to say about Kathryn. It’s all good.

A video of the interview can be seen on YouTube here. A small copy has been added to the KM UK the Gallery. Talk about The Protocol starts at around the 4 minute mark for those wishing to skip ahead.

Cold Case S03E21 – The Hen House HD Screencaps

We reach the final edition of KM UK’s Summer Of HD for 2014.

Over the past few months I’ve been posting new HD (720p or 1080p) screencaps from season 3 of Cold Case. Rather than the usual numerical order, this year episodes were grouped into threes randomly for voting on by you dear reader. The winner of each poll was then the next chosen. Once the full set had been gone through the losing episodes were again put to the polls. This was repeated until all were exhausted.

The upshot of the voting process is that this final posting could be seen as being about the least popular episode of the season. I’m sure that’s not true really.

The Hen House is about the murder of a journalist in 1945, days after the end of World War II. Lorena “Lo” Kinney was keen to succeed in the very male-dominated world of the press. No parallels with Lilly then? A current day journalist finds files which include a threatening note written to Miss Kinney on the day she was died, hit by a train as it went through a station.

The late Peter Graves (Airplane and Mission Impossible) in one of his final roles guest starred as modern day Noah, a man Lo falls for. But is Noah all he seems? Playing the “I recognise the big guest star from other shows” game we quickly surmise that Peter is more than just a bit part player in this one.

118 HD (720p) Lilly screencaps from The Hen House are now the Gallery.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this run of postings. If you make use of any of KM UK’s screencaps in fan art then please let me know, perhaps we can include them in our Gallery at a future date.

Cold Case S03E22 – The River HD Screencaps

If you open an episode with “Holding Out For A Hero” by Bonnie Tyler with the scene of an ER doctor operating on a young man, reviving another patient with a defibrillator, comforting the shocked-to-life man’s wife and turning down her offer of money, all under the awestruck watch of super-doc’s son, you just know that things won’t end well for him. Sure enough, Dr Bowen is shot and killed in an alley a few months later in August of 1984.

Back in the present (2006) a new ADA, replacing the one that Jeffries punched at the end of last week’s starring episode Death Penalty: Final Appeal, brings in a witness to the killing of Dr Bowen. She says it wasn’t the man originally arrested for the crime that she saw pull the trigger.

Those familiar with some of Kathryn’s previous work may recognise the actor playing Dr Bowen as one of her co-stars on Pensacola: Wings Of Gold. You are so nearly right. The doc is Emmanuel Xuereb, twin brother of P:WOG star Salvator Xuereb.

As part of KM UK Summer Of HD 2014 there are now 110 HD (720p) Lilly screencaps in the Gallery.

Summer Of HD 2014 – Final Result

The winner of our final poll of the KM UK Summer Of HD, taking 100% of the votes, is The River. Congratulations to it. Come back next Monday for the episode’s HD screencap update.

That just leaves The Hen House as the last episode to be covered, that will come the following week.

Thank you to everyone that took part in the voting.

Cold Case S03E20 – Death Penalty: Final Appeal HD Screencaps

Lilly’s hot, and not just in the sense of the word we often use around here 😛 The a/c is broken in the squad room so, technically, every one is feeling the heat

This episode takes a slightly different approach to the normal unsolved case process. This one’s already been solved. A perp is doing time in the big house for this one. But now the arresting officer has been found to be corrupt and cases he is involved in are under question. The jailed man is going to the even bigger house in the sky in three days unless someone takes his continuing claims of innocence seriously. A call to Det Will Jeffries (Thom Barry) pricks his conscience.

Did the man currently on death-row, hired as an ex-con by a house moving company, kill the girl in her new home? ‘Yes’, you say? Do you not understand how these work by now?

As part of the KM UK Summer Of HD 2014 146 HD (720p) Lilly screencaps have been added to the Gallery.
