Reverie Season 1 Episode Titles

Over the past few weeks the titles of the initial episodes of the new sci-fi-ish drama series Reverie have been released.

As regular viewers will be well aware Reverie stars Sarah Shahi (Person Of Interest) as a former hostage negotiator brought in to help extract people ‘stuck’ in a virtual reality environment. Our Kathryn is one of the key supporting cast as a member of the department of defense which is very interested in this VR technology. The military wanting new stuff rarely means good things!

As we’ve now got the first six names I thought it would be a good time to compile the ones we have so far into a list for easy reference.

Ep #	Title	Comment
1	Apertus	Latin for ‘open’
2	Bond. Jane Bond
3	No More Mr Nice Guy
4	Blue Is The Coldest Color
5	Altum Somnum	Latin for ‘deep sleep’
6	Pas de Deux	A ballet term for a duet dance. French for ‘step of two’

Many TV shows follow quite fixed patterns for their episode titles. Friends always used “The One…” and The Big Bang Theory makes theirs sound like scientific studies to name two. As you can see Reverie has gone for much more mixed bag. There’s some cultural references (“Bond. Jane Bond”) and some Latin in there.

Obviously, each title relates to the content of the episode in some way so it will be interest to see how they tie in to each plot line. Feel free to speculate. Apertus is a good start for a opening episode and could be to do with the opening of the Reverie virtual world created by Jessica Lu’s computer wiz Alexis Barrett to customers/visitors.

As mentioned in an earlier post it is looking like Reverie will start on March the 6th (a Tuesday) next year and continue the 10 episode run on NBC uninterrupted, ending on the 8th of May.

It seems that the show is still in production but can’t be far off finishing the main filming process.

Update (13th November): I very nearly wrote in the piece above that posting with 6 titles released would mean more would be within hours. So it came to pass.

Two more Reverie episodes have been named.

Ep #	Title	Comment
7	The Black Mandala	A mandala is a type of spiritual symbol
8	Despedida	Spanish for ‘farewell’

Hopefully we can put titles to the two remaining episodes soon.

Kathryn’s A Minx For Lynx

A couple of weeks on from the New York Comic Con we still seeing content released from it.

The latest is a video of Greg Bernard of Entertain Lynx putting a few questions to Kathryn Morris and Jessica on the red carpet. The two ladies, ‘Jess and Kat’, were promoting the upcoming TV series Reverie.

It’s all a bit of silly fun. Jessica is clearly a bad influence on our Kathryn as she drops the ‘b’ word We don’t get to learn much about the show except that Kathryn’s DoD staffer Monica Shaw bullies Jessica’s software engineer Alexis Barrett.

Watch the video in full on YouTube HERE.

A small version of the video and a set of HD screencaps are now in the KM UK Gallery.

Kathryn’s All Smiles In Syfy Reverie Interview

And smiles, amazing as they are, is pretty much all we got.

A further bit of reporting from the recent New York Comic Con has been published. This time it is a video interview with the Reverie cast (Sarah Shahi, Jessica Lu, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Dennis Haysbert, and Kathryn), and creative team Mickey Fisher and Tom Szentgyorgi.

Lisa Granshaw lead the chat for the Syfy.com website. The cast talk a little about the concept behind the show and have a laugh about what they might do with a chance to go into a virtual world like the one Jessica Lu’s character has created. Mickey and Tom explain what was behind the idea.

As I say, sadly Kathryn really doesn’t get to contribute anything in this interview. Maybe there was more that was left out of the 5 minute edit published. No doubt they all did dozens of these chats with various journalists through the day in New York, so only so much time can be allocated to each.

See the article and the video on the Syfy website HERE. Don’t read too carefully if you want to avoid a spoiler about a particular location visited. It’s out of this world!

A small number of screencaps from the video and copy of video itself can now be found in the KM UK Gallery.

Reverie @ NYCC Is Bleeding Cool

Reports from the New York Comic Con event of the previous weekend are starting to spring up.

As we know the cast of the new ABC drama series Reverie attended the ‘con’, took part in a discussion panel after a screening of the pilot, and also conducted individual interviews with members of the press.

The Bleeding Cool website has an article by Adi Tantimedh who, after a explanation of Reverie‘s premise describes it thus:

This is one of the more ambitious shows this season. It’s not another cop show or another soldier show. It’s about tragedy, loss, and empathy. It’s about the desire to escape from the trauma and sadness of life into a dream world, and the need to connect with humanity and emotion.

Adi goes on to give quotes from each main actor (Sarah Shahi, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Jessica Lu, Dennis Haysbert), creator Mickey Fisher, and producer Tom Szentgyorgi. Of course Kathryn is there too. Here is what she said about Reverie and her character Monica Shaw from the Department Of Defense:

I thought this show is a beautiful execution of a psychological thriller within this emotional landscape in the world of virtual reality. It’s not like a typical Sci Fi show where the emotions come later. It’s a tangible take on the power of virtual reality. And nobody does it better than Amblin. My character lives in a grey area of Light and Dark in the way the government uses things for their own purposes.

You can read Adi Tantimedh’s full piece HERE and a follow-up article on how the show is about finding a human connection HERE.

Kathryn @ NYCC Interview Video

I could have added this to the much-updated previous post but felt it really deserved a new article.

Sean Ferguson, Senior Correspondent at the entertainment news website FlickDirect, got to interview the cast and crew of the upcoming NBC drama series Reverie at the recent New York Comic Con event.

The 15 minute long video (which can be found on YouTube HERE) includes interviews with all the major cast Sarah Shahi, Jessica Lu, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Dennis Haysbert, and Kathryn, as well as creator/writer Mickey Fisher and producer Tom Szentgyorgi.

The video starts with several minutes of Sendhil giving a very eloquent description of the show. Then Jessica joins him. It is during this segment we get our first glimpse of Kathryn. This really is the red carpet area we’ve already seen many photos from. Kathryn is being photographed just off camera. Sendhil and Jessica get Kathryn to join them for a minute, during which Dennis crashes the party, until they are all called away for more photos. Then it’s 90 seconds with Mickey and Tom, before we’re back to Kathryn and Jessica. It is a fun 3 and half minute long section. The video ends with a couple of minutes with Dennis and a nice 3 with our so far absent leading lady Sarah.

We are treated to some lovely smiles from Kathryn as she talks up the show and her cast mates, there’s a bit of finger action and a curse word. Bad Kathryn! 😯

I’ve added a small copy of the video and a load of screencaps to the KM UK Gallery. I’ve also thrown a 3 more new photos and some more enlargenings (it’s a word…ish) from last weekend’s event.
