This Week's TV Guide
The new TV Guide (for March 5-11, with the cast of House on the cover), has several articles of interest.
First, the cover story with the cast of House is an interesting read with some great pictures.
A couple of small bits on Lost, with fans responding to Charlie's apparent impending death, and an article about the falling ratings, and another short article addressing some of the boys' apparent need for sugar mamas (I volunteer--wait, I don't have enough money. Pout).
A short Q&A with Zachary Quinto of Heroes (Sylar).
A review of The Black Donnellys by Matt Roush. (He didn't like it. I think he was unnecessarily harsh.)
An interview with Ali Larter of Heroes (Niki/Jessica).
An interview with Nicolas Cage (yes, that Nicolas Cage), regarding The Dresden Files, which he executive produces.

Preview—The Black Donnellys
The pilot episode of this mid-season NBC series was made available on the Netflix-exclusive Heroes Season Summary DVD. The show was created by Paul Haggis and Bobby Moresco (Crash
, Million Dollar Baby).
The Black Donnellys tells the story of the four Donnelly brothers and how they become involved in organized crime in New York City, and has a strongly cinematic look and feel. To me, it felt a little like a Guy Ritchie movie, with its juxtaposition of wry humor and brutal violence. The writing is good, but I found the voice-over narration approach to be distracting in places, mostly because it wasn't clear to me why Joey was narrating. He didn't seem to be intimately involved enough in the events he was discussing to serve as narrator--unless he's supposed to be an untrustworthy narrator, and then we get into a whole new kettle of fish. Then again, I have a prejudice against voice over, especially in pilots.
In any case, this pilot episode was solid, well-produced and well-acted, with a killer soundtrack (although what's with the ubiquitousness of Snow Patrol lately?).
The Black Donnellys premieres this spring on NBC.
