Final Questions: Notre Dame vs. Alabama
Jan 7, 2013, 2:19 PM EST
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — After a wait that felt almost biblical, Notre Dame and Alabama will finally play for the BCS National Championship. After over 40 days of breaking down match-ups, digging deeper into opponents, and hypothesizing about one of college football's dream match-ups, it's time to play the game.
Let's run through some final questions:
Who will win the line of scrimmage?
If there's one battle that'll likely tell the story of this game, it's the war in the trenches. Can Notre Dame's offensive line hold up against Alabama's stout front? Can the Irish defensive line hold up against the Crimson Tide's vaunted offensive line?
In what will likely feel like a heavyweight fight, seeing these two powerful fronts battle will be the key match-up.
Will the Irish secondary continue to limit big plays?
For a group that's spent the entire season playing great football, there are still an awful lot of questions about Notre Dame's secondary. But Zeke Motta, Matthias Farley, KeiVarae Russell and Bennett Jackson have quietly gone about their business. And played really good football.
Talking to that quartet on media day, there was a quiet confidence among the group. Bennett Jackson talked about playing a physical brand of cornerback, all with his shoulder in a harness. KeiVarae Russell gave me a thousand-watt smile when asked about his interception against Marqise Lee, and his, "Oh, hell yes," attitude.
Notre Dame will need a big game out of Motta, who will be needed in run support. And they know that the Tide will likely test the Irish secondary vertically early, hoping to bust talented freshman Amari Cooper lost. Can the back-end of the Irish defense continue to limit the big plays?
Can Notre Dame run the ball?
With their coming out party in the second half against Miami, the Irish run game has been dominant this season, racking up solid statistics against a schedule filled with teams stingy against the run. But this will be their biggest test of the year, and their toughest opponent to date.
How the Irish use their trio of talented runners will be key. But getting something out of the ground game, and keeping a balanced offensive attack, will be critical. While Theo Riddick might be the guy that takes the lions share of the carries, both Cierre Wood and George Atkinson have the ability to break long runs, and the Irish will need to break off one or two if they hope to win.
Can Everett Golson play mistake free football?
Everett Golson has seen plenty of big stages. But tonight is a different story. Golson's evolution has been tremendous, and he's going to need to take a big step forward against the Tide if the Irish want to be crowned national champs.
Brian Kelly is confident in his quarterback and his ability to make plays both in and out of the pocket. And Golson is going to have to find the right mix of smarts and aggression, knowing when to take chances and when to show patience. This Alabama team is the No. 1 defense in the country, and they take the ball away better than last year's dominant outfit. Golson staying clean in the turnovers category is crucial.
Will the Irish rise to the moment?
Preparing a team for one game is a difficult proposition. Putting together a game plan for six weeks is never easy. But this team feels confident in their preparation, and Notre Dame is loose and ready to play.
But will the Irish play their best on the game's biggest stage? That's the million dollar question.
Notre Dame football players: Why I'm Thankful
Nov 27, 2014, 10:00 AM EST
With the Irish heading to Southern California to try and finish the regular season with a much-needed eighth victory, seniors Austin Collinsworth, Kyle Brindza, Cam McDaniel and Christian Lombard look back on a football career that's now ending.
And in that corner… The USC Trojans
Nov 26, 2014, 12:10 PM EST
The greatest intersectional rivalry in college football might not have the shine of previous years, but it doesn't make it any less important. Both Notre Dame and USC will enter the Coliseum desperate for a victory.
Secondary depth chart reaches red-line status
Nov 26, 2014, 11:47 AM EST
A one-armed man. Two guys sentenced to a year in the house. And a parolee. Sounds like the cast list for a new cop drama. But that's the safety depth chart entering the final Saturday of the regular season.
Kyle McCarthy: Blessed with ND football during cancer fight

Nov 25, 2014, 2:59 PM EST

The good, the bad, the ugly: Notre Dame vs. Louisville
Nov 24, 2014, 2:24 PM EST
The Irish exited Notre Dame Stadium for the last time in 2014. And for the second-straight week they sang the alma mater after a defeat, taking another step backwards from a home-field advantage Brian Kelly and the Irish had quietly built over the past few seasons.
Let's take a look at the good, bad and ugly of Notre Dame's 31-28 loss to Louisville.
Young defensive front up for another challenge against USC
Nov 24, 2014, 10:42 AM EST
It appears that Notre Dame's already youthful defensive line is going to be getting even younger on Saturday. After losing Jarron Jones essentially on the first play of Saturday's 31-28 loss to Louisville, a Sunday MRI will determine the severity of the injury and whether he can play again this season.
Five things we learned: Louisville 31, Notre Dame 28

Nov 22, 2014, 12:33 PM EST

Nov 21, 2014, 4:31 PM EST

While losing three of four games has dampened the spirits of fans and detoured the team's postseason hopes, the Irish will play their final game at home on Saturday, a senior sendoff in Notre Dame Stadium for a large group with a still-to-be-determined future.
After unexplainable loss, can Irish rally again?
Nov 20, 2014, 2:21 PM EST
Few memories are shorter collectively than football fans. Every mistake is magnified in the prism of "now," with the devastation of a difficult to understand loss like last weekend's to Northwestern consistently taking dead aim at the foundation of a football program, regardless of its stability.

Nov 18, 2014, 4:40 PM EST
Brian Kelly met with the media this afternoon, a few days into preparation for Louisville. While there were certainly questions about how the Irish were going to challenge a Cardinals team with some really exceptional personnel on both sides of the ball, the focus was mostly on the guys inside Notre Dame's locker room.
The good, the bad, the ugly: Notre Dame vs. Northwestern
Nov 17, 2014, 1:22 PM EST
A little less than 48 hours after Notre Dame's loss to Northwestern, it doesn't seem like too many people are over it. So let's dispense with the introductions and pull the band-aid.

Geagea blasted the Free Patriotic Movement and Hezbollah for obstructing the election of a new president through boycotting the election sessions. (The Daily Star/Aldo Ayoub, HO)
BEIRUT: Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea said Monday that government work was paralyzed because two contradictory projects could not cohabit within the same government.
"Government paralysis is due to the body's makeup and is not related to a specific event; the cause of the problem is structural," he told Al-Mustaqbal newspaper. "Two [contradictory] political projects cannot cohabit in the same government. They can be found in the same Parliament but not in the same government."
Prime Minister Tammam Salam will not call for a Cabinet session this week due to lingering differences among ministers over key issues, sources close to the premier said Sunday.
Salam also accused some ministers, whom he did not identify, of obstructing the government's work and productivity.
The prime minister will only call for a session if agreement is reached among various components of the government over an array of pending issues – including extra-budgetary spending, the appointment of deans to the LU's council and the salaries of civil servants, a source close to Salam told The Daily Star.
Geagea again blasted the Free Patriotic Movement and Hezbollah for obstructing the election of a new president through boycotting the election sessions called for by Speaker Nabih Berri.
Geagea said he supported the arrest of Hussein Atwe from Al-Jamaa al-Islamiya who confessed to firing a batch of rockets into Israel Friday, adding that all those who tampered with the country's stability and security should be tried, in a veiled reference to Hezbollah.
"The government must take a swift decision to regain the decision [for war and peace] and [confiscate] all nonstate arms," he said. "Otherwise [Atwe's arrest] would be considered unfair treatment."

Zero out of 512 employers plan to drop health insurance
Health insurance is expensive, costing employers $15,073 on average to cover one worker and the employee's family. If companies with more than 50 workers stopped offering coverage, they would face a fine that is significantly smaller than that cost, at $2,000 per employee. Which makes this Towers-Watson survey all the more surprising: The consulting firm polled 512 companies that employed more than 1,000 workers each. These are companies that spend at least $5 million in health benefits annually. They were asked how likely it was that they would drop coverage in 2014 and send employers to the new health care exchanges being created to accommodate the law. Not a single employer said that scenario was "very likely." A mere 3 percent ranked it "somewhat likely."

Captain courteous, vague
A passenger in Mats Sundin's truck rifles nosily through the musical selection in vain hope of finding something, a tiny clue, to illuminate the Leaf captain's character and private tastes.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
A passenger in Mats Sundin's truck rifles nosily through the musical selection in vain hope of finding something, a tiny clue, to illuminate the Leaf captain's character and private tastes.
"Anything but Abba," he deadpans.
See, this is Sundin being droll. Sometimes, the rest of us just don't get it, though no athlete in Toronto is so extensively interrogated or quoted or scrutinized.
Over the summer, a paparazzi shot of Sundin and an attractive young blond – sitting at a Stockholm café – made the front page of a local paper, as if this were momentous news.
"Heard about it, never saw it. That's my girlfriend, Josephine, and yes she's special," he said.
A 25-year-old, Josephine lives with Sundin now in Toronto and is taking some university classes. And 'nuff said about that.
Extracting personal details from Sundin is an unrewarding exercise. Few athletes who have achieved iconic status in this town have been as simultaneously gracious and deflective of the probing inquiry. Yet even in this, the resolute guarding of his inner self from forensic examination, Sundin makes no complaint about the treatment he's received.
"Knowing that the Toronto Maple Leafs are so important to the community, to the media and the fans, I still find that people have respect for my private life. It's not a problem like it is in places like England, where you have all those tabloids."
One wishes that Sundin would whinge a bit more, especially about personnel miscalculations endured during his Toronto tenure. He's got clout that's rarely exercised, or so subtly that no one ever hears about it. So loath is Sundin to sound mildly unhappy with teammates that he won't even play the Dream Line game, as in which wing mates from across the league he might drool over. "I like playing with Nik Antropov, I liked playing a few games with Jason Blake and I liked skating today with Alex Steen."
That's not how the Dream Game is played, Mats.
Wouldn't say blech if he had a mouthful.
But he had a few things to say, informally, to teammates yesterday morning, in the aftermath of a hideous 7-1 collapse against the Carolina Hurricanes.
"Whether you're a professional athlete or 9 years old, to lose 7-1 is embarrassing. Something like that, you take to heart."
The fact Sundin tied a club points record in the process is irrelevant, as will be the franchise record for goals next time he puts the puck in the net. These things genuinely don't matter for the captain of a squad that has missed the playoffs two years running. He's just not that into personal milestones.
Foremost on his mind is how the team would react to Tuesday's humiliation this evening against the Islanders. "You want to come in and make sure everyone is focused on what's going to happen (tonight). Win the game and what happened the other night is forgotten.
"All teams, whether you're the Stanley Cup winner or a team that missed the playoffs, are going to have a bad game like that. It's how you respond after bad games that counts. Good character teams respond well. We have a chance here to show our character and move on."
It might very well be that Sundin, on a one-year contract extension, will move on himself if the season goes pear-shaped, although the 36-year-old has steadfastly denied any interest in becoming a trade-deadline trinket.
His fealty to the Leafs is touching, if possibly perverse.
"Your faith is tested over a season, to be sure. But I have faith in my teammates. Teams that lose faith are teams that fail."

Hononegah advances to wrestling sectional
By Matt Nestor
Sports Columnist
The Hononegah Indians came up with a second week of strong performances, easily topping the field at the IHSA Class 3A regional at Harlem, cruising to the team title and moving onto the next week's sectional match-up.
The Indians were led again by senior Matt Dwyer, who won his weight class at 215 pounds. Dwyer is one of the top-ranked wrestlers in the state and finished fifth at the state tournament last year.
In total, Hononegah scored four regional champions and sent nine wrestlers on to the sectionals. Colin Dodd (119 pounds), Manny Silva (125) and Max Geyer (285) all won their weight class, while Zach Phillip (171), Chad Wolfgram (152), Kevin Westrom (135), Matt Hardyman (130) and Thomas Hunt (103) all placed in the top three to move on to sectionals.
The ultimate goal for the Indians is to win the state tournament. Many consider them one of the top teams in the state, and winning the regional gets them a step closer to their goal.
While the Harlem Huskies weren't able to use the home crowd to win the regional, they did have a very good performance themselves. They were able to place three winners of their own in the regional and advance six wrestlers overall to the sectional.
Junior Derek Elmore once again cruised in the tournament. Harlem's top 112-pound wrestler, who is also the top one in the state, picked up an easy 9-3 win over Crystal Lake South's Nick Peters to pick up the win.
Sterling Hecox, who finished fourth at 171 pounds at the state tournament last year, picked up a 25-10 win in the final to pick up the title at 189 pounds. Josh Anthony also picked up a title at 160 pounds for Harlem, while J o r d a n Northrup (103), Jake Papke (119) and Kane Cunningham (130) all moved on for the Huskies. B o y l a n ' s Blaise Butler, who is ranked third in the state for his weight class, also moved on to the sectional, picking up the title at 135 pounds. Jake Armellani (285), Austin Smith (140) and Lucas Schumacher (145) also advanced for Boylan.
Zane Gilfillan for Guilford was the only other NIC-10 wrestler to advance to the sectional, finishing second to Hecox at 189 pounds. The wrestlers who advanced will next compete in Barrington Feb. 12 and 13. Action will start at 4:30 p.m., Friday, and continue at 11 a.m., Saturday.

Traveler: The Exchange (series finale)
Instead, we are left with what was a pretty entertaining hour of television, but one that suffered greatly from ten pounds of plot stuffed in a five pound bag, and the fact that so many of the questions that were brought up will never have an answer. Really, short of confirmation that the TV Squad readers correctly fingered Agent Chambers as Freed's man inside the FBI, they didn't really give us much at all in the way of answers.
Traveler: The Reunion
(S01E07) I guess George Costanza was right about fugitive sex. This week, both Jay and Tyler took advantage of their fugitive status to get some action. I would have thought that the guys had better things to do in New York--clearing their names, finding the terrorists, etc. Then again, who am I to complain about scenes that feature a shirtless Matthew Bomer?
Traveler: The Trader
(S01E06) This week finds Jay and Tyler back in New York, Will trying to track down Maya's killer, and the FBI still a step behind as Marlow heads to Boston. It was a crazy, fast paced episode that gave a lot of answers, but there was also that nagging little question in the back of my head. Holy smokes, only two episodes left? Are they going to be able to wrap all of this up? We'll see, but for now, let's talk about "The Trader."
Traveler: The Tells
(S01E05) This week's episode shifted the focus away from Jay and Tyler's perspective to that of Will Traveler. After several weeks of watching the guys figure out how they were framed, it was time to learn more about the people behind the set-up. Neal McDonough still doesn't have a name, but we did get the name of someone who could be a bigger threat to Jay, Tyler, and even Will.
Traveler: The Out
(S01E04) This week, Jay and Tyler made another stop on their Tour of Innocence: Deer Harbor, Maine. I like the pattern of having each episode feature a different location with a new set of clues. There really haven't been any weak episodes yet, which may be a good sign for the show's future.
Traveler: Pilot and The Retreat
(S01E01 & S01E02) Ask and you shall receive, folks! TV Squad is officially covering ABC's Traveler. The show's third episode, "New Haven," airs this Wednesday, so it's time to play catch-up.The pilot episode and "The Retreat" provided a thorough look at all the key players and mysteries.
Traveler -- An early look - VIDEO
The premise of Traveler is this: Three best friends (Jay, Tyler, and Will Traveler) graduate from Yale and plan to go on a two-month, cross-country road trip. Only, it all comes to an end on the first afternoon when there's a terrorist bombing in a NYC museum that they're in. Jay and Tyler get out, but Will is gone. And so is his stuff from the hotel. Jay and Tyler end up becoming suspects in the bombing (trust me, it makes sense), and, instead of turning themselves in, they decide to go "underground" and try to find out who this Will Traveler person really is.
ABC's Traveler to debut (finally) on May 30
When the new fall schedules were announced last year, one of the shows that I was most looking forward to, ABC's mystery-drama Traveler, wasn't on the schedule. Which was sort of surprising since it got a lot of positive buzz in the upfront presentation that the network gave. And then we had all of the serialized dramas failing badly (The Nine, Smith, Daybreak, etc) and it seemed like Traveler would never premiere.
But ABC has announced that Traveler will indeed make it's debut on May 30, at 10pm. The number of episodes has been trimmed a little, and it looks like it's going to be one of those shows that will have a definite end, maybe like a long miniseries, so viewers won't feel cheated. Which is good news for TV fans these days, I guess.

Al Gore coming to Seattle for Gregoire fundraiser
Former Vice President Al Gore is coming to Seattle Oct. 24 to help raise money for Gov. Christine Gregoire's re-election campaign.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Nobel Prize winner, former vice president and "Saturday Night Live" spoof target Al Gore is coming to Seattle on Oct. 24 to help raise money for Gov. Christine Gregoire, who already has shattered the state campaign-fundraising record she set in 2004.
Gore will give a luncheon speech at the Sheraton, according to the Gregoire campaign, with donations starting at $150.
The increasingly rancorous race between Gregoire and Republican challenger Dino Rossi could use some humor like Gore's 2006 appearance on "Saturday Night Live," in which he imagined he had been president for six years: Michael Moore was a Supreme Court Justice, we had too much gasoline and the country's budget surplus was a "perilously low" $11 trillion. ("And don't get any ideas. That money is staying in the very successful lockbox," Gore deadpanned.)
The 2008 governor's race, the most expensive in state history, now exceeds $19 million in contributions directly to the candidates ($10 million to Gregoire; $9 million to Rossi).
Independent groups such as Building Industry Association of Washington and union-backed Evergreen Progress PAC already have spent another $6 million attacking Gregoire or Rossi — and those groups and others are sitting on several million dollars more, likely to bankroll additional attacks.

"The mindless thuggery of these few will not prevent us from delivering a protective service to the local community.
"On this occasion we were able to remove a quantity of ammunition from the community.
"We will continue to tackle criminality wherever it occurs and would ask for the continued support of local residents," he added.

Obama Inauguration Tickets Reach $2k Online
Tickets to President Barack Obama's inauguration this month are being sold on eBay and Craigslist for up to $2k (£1.2k), even though the event is meant to be free.
Efforts by congressional offices and the Presidential Inaugural Committee, which are distributing tickets to inaugural events, have not stopped online entrepreneurs.
"These tix are going like hot cakes, and for FAR more than I am listing them for on here," boasted one anonymous seller in a post on Craigslist.
The seller was offering two seats to the January 21 swearing-in at the Capitol for $4k (£2.4k).
Even though enthusiasm is not as high as it was for Mr Obama's historic inauguration four years ago, memories of the incredible crowd for that sprawling outdoor event seem to have driven up prices for this year.
Washington DC officials say they expect between 600,000 and 800,000 visitors to stream into the city.
That is far fewer than the 1.8 million people who flooded the National Mall four years ago to witness the swearing-in of the first black president.
Second inaugurations have historically drawn fewer spectators.
The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies issued some 250,000 tickets for politicians to give out however they see fit.
Scalping the tickets is not illegal, members of Congress were encouraged to distribute them fairly.
Unlike congressional tickets, tickets distributed by the Presidential Inaugural Committee cannot be resold without permission of the committee.
Although tickets for the swearing-in ceremony are free, some other inaugural events charge admission.
The presidential committee is sold out of $25 tickets to the inaugural parade down Pennsylvania Avenue and $60 tickets to one of its two inaugural balls.
The inauguration will feature some top talent, lead by Beyonce who will be singing the national anthem.
American Idol's Kelly Clarkson will perform My Country 'Tis Of Thee and singer James Taylor will perform America The Beautiful.
Richard Blanco, the son of Cuban exiles, will be 2013 inaugural poet, joining the ranks of Maya Angelou and Robert Frost.

Netspend is holding my fed. tax refund for ransom.

I used turbotax.com to file my taxes. During the process, they steered me towards a page that pretty much gave me only 2 options: either have the refund direct deposited (i couldnt do that because i didnt have my routing # available) or have it loaded onto a prepaid netspend debit card. i choose the prepaid card.
The card was received in the mail a week later. Turns out that, after i called the toll free # to activate, the netspend agent told me that in order to proceed, i had to fax them a copy of my SSN and proof of address(?!?). I told the agent that that sounded like B.S. system, so i told her to cancel my netspend acct and send me a check in the mail. She said i'd get it within 20 business days.
Well, over 30 days later and speaking to 4 more lying, incompetant agents (one of them hanged up on me, and the other one said that i should just check my mailbox once in a while), ....really???? i realize that those agents at that evil company have absolutely no intention of sending me a paper check. And the last agent, he said that my request for a paper check hasnt even been filed yet! And he asked me twice if i wanted to fax them my SSN and proof of address!!!!!
Im not wasting my time with netspend customer service anymore. I will look into hiring an atty and take their sorry lying *** to court.be971ac

The Better Business Bureau has a pending case against Netspend, probably Ace as well. Let them have their fun now because they are going to get what they deserve soon enough. Ever wondered what happened to the discontinued prepaid card companies? There you have it. They have ruined many peoples lives literally. I myself have been evicted and lost my car all due to them not activating my card so I could pay bills after I followed the procedure they required. Are they ever satisfied? Well Ive shifted from angry to cordial and Im letting The Good Lord and the BBB deal with them because enough is enough Netspend! And they show their concern by commenting in a sincere but not sincere manner. They picked the wrong target. They are rich off of us. I don't like being homeless, it stinks.0 0 Reply

We are very sorry to hear about the problems you have experienced with your account.
In order to protect your tax refund, and make sure it is going to the correct person, we may request documentation to verify your identity. We understand this is an inconvenience, but it is in your benefit.
We want to make sure you receive your funds as quickly as possible. Please send your information to firstname.lastname@example.com and we will be happy to look into this for you.
Thank you,

Bull Net spend is purposely withholding peoples tax refunds, it is a prepaid card, not a credit card and was set up for us by TurboTax for the purpose of getting our tax refunds your Identity scam is a fraud upon us to allow you to hold the money to draw interest off of.
There is nothing easy about confirming our identity when you refuse to accept any document that proves our identity. *** I could send you a DNA test saying I am who I say I am and you would still claim it does not prove my identity.

Paul Ryan defends small government, attacks Obama
Rep. Paul Ryan R-Wis., Mitt Romney's vice presidential running mate, speaks during a rally on Aug. 11 in Manassas, Va. Ryan might be secretly worrying Republicans because of his unpopular budget proposals and Medicare plan.
AP Photo/Mary Altaffer
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) lit into President Obama and vowed to shrink the federal government in an audience-rousing speech closing out the second day of the Republican National Convention. Ryan said Mitt Romney, if elected, would lower federal spending to 20 percent of GDP, and doubled down on restructuring Medicare and Social Security, saying, "We can make the safety net safe again.... Ladies and gentlemen, our nation needs this debate. We want this debate. We will win this debate." The other standout speaker from Wednesday's convention lineup was former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who gave a stirring speech mixing domestic and international issues with her own life story.

A Texas Team Is The Most Hated In Texas?
I like to look on the bright side and find the good in things, BUT I couldn't resist passing along this little gem I found online.
I ran across a chart outlining the most hated Major League Baseball teams for particular regions across the country and across the globe, and it turns out that Texas isn't too fond of Texas.
It's easy to understand why Illinois hates the Cardinals, because that team has a big rivalry with the Cubs and Illinois supports its Chicago team. And it's a given that New York hates the Red Sox because it defends the Yankees.
But really? The least favorite team here in Texas is none other than the Texas Rangers? Perhaps it's just because the Rangers are having a dismal season and fans are upset and frustrated. Can't those Astros get any hate?
The Rangers have broken my heart every year since I started watching them, probably when I moved to Texas in the late 90′s. But just like a boyfriend that strings a girl along, I just can't give up on them! One day they will win the World Series and we'll all ride off into the sunset together. Just not this year.
Hang in there Rangers fans. Those haters will be wearing Rangers jerseys once they turn this depressing season around. Have faith!

Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1' Makes All of the Money and It's Still Not Enough
There's going to be a lot of blood and ink spilled across the internet on the subject of the opening weekend for 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1.' Yes, the third film in the series did open significantly lower than its predecessors. Yes, there are definitely people at Lionsgate wringing their hands and trying to figure out why the film opened below expectations. And yet, that opening weekend is still massive. It's three day total is larger than most movies ever have a chance to make in their entire runs. So, let's have some perspective as we dive into this week's top 10.

But today brings our first official footage from 'Jurassic World' in the form of a far more awesome teaser for the trailer, which will hit the web on Thanksgiving day. If that's not something to be thankful for, what is?

'12 Monkeys' Producer on Syfy Series: 'It's a Complete Reimagining'
"We didn't want to just redo what the movie does," co-executive producer Terry Matalas said of the upcoming 13-episode adaptation.
Don't expect Syfy's 12 Monkeys to be a replica of Terry Gilliam's 1995 movie.
"It's a complete reimagining," co-executive producer Terry Matalas told reporters Monday at the Television Critics Association summer press tour. "We were all big fans of the original film and had a deep love and respect for the material. We didn't want to just redo what the movie does."
"This isn't a cover band of the film," added star Amanda Schull. Co-executive producer Travis Fickett echoed that sentiment: "It doesn't make sense to tell the same story again."
STORY Syfy's '12 Monkeys' Lands Series Order
12 Monkeys centers on a time traveler, Cole (Aaron Stanford), from the post-apocalyptic future who appears in the present day on a mission to locate and eradicate the source of a deadly plague that will eventually decimate the human race.
The team behind the 13-episode series, scheduled for a January 2015 launch, intentionally switched up the rules to freshen things up and differentiate the universe. "Everything from the top down changed," Matalas said, citing character tweaks like Cole and Dr. Whaley. Having said that, there will be clear homages to characters from the movie, such as Jones. Another change was the lack of ambiguity over the series' treatment of time travel. The time-traveling visual effects, in fact, were largely inspired by Rian Johnson's 2012 film Looper.
Executive producer Richard Suckle, who helped produce the Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis film, said discussions about bringing 12 Monkeys to TV took place soon after the original movie was released. But things got in the way.
At the end of the day, the producers were itching to do "a gritty time-traveling show," said Matalas, and felt audiences were ready to dive into a show with a rich mythology as 12 Monkeys. "We wanted it to be grounded and closer to a thriller but that's not to say we wont play with tone."
There will be trips to various time periods, including World War I and the 1980s. "We will definitely travel around [time]," showrunner/executive producer Natalie Chaidez said.
