F ans of “The X-Files,” rejoice!
History Channel has produced a new fictional miniseries that delves into the world of extraterrestrial investigations. “Project Blue Book” comes with many of the typical hallmarks of its genre — a lead UFO investigator struggling to get to the bottom of unexplained phenomena, an internal culture of government secrecy — but it has one major feature that sets it apart: the series stays remarkably true to the specific historical events that it follows. One of the network’s first scripted series, “Project Blue Book” premieres Tuesday, Jan. 8, on History. The real Project Blue Book, after which the new series is named, was a classified research project conducted by the United States Air Force. The secretive study, designed to investigate unidentified flying objects, was initiated in 1952 and continued through the 1960s. Perhaps the most alluring aspect of this real-life study is the fascinating central figure of the Blue Book investigations: J. Allen Hynek, portrayed in the show by Aidan Gillen (“Game of Thrones”), was a respected astrophysicist recruited by the air force to spearhead UFO research. He started out as a skeptic, but Hynek did his best to keep an open mind throughout the project, and he ultimately came to accept the
possibility of alien life as a cause for certain unexplained events on Earth. By the time Project Blue Book was shut down in 1969, there were whispers of government coverups initiated to prevent mass panic. Hynek came out of the project an unwavering champion of truth and evidence-based conclusions.
Backing up Gillen’s Hynek is Laura Mennell (“The Man in the High Castle”), who plays his wife, Mimi Hynek. There is also air force pilot Capt. Michael Quinn (Michael Malarkey, “The Vampire Diaries”) and a mysterious town newcomer named Susie (Ksenia Solo,
“Lost Girl”). And you can keep your eyes peeled for Michael Imperioli of “The Sopranos,” who makes an appearance in a few episodes. Neal McDonough (“Minority Report,” 2002) and Michael Harney (“Orange Is the New Black”) round out the main cast. There’s something for everyone in “Project Blue Book.” While its central theme is bound to draw in those who are suckers for paranormal mystery, the show’s take on alien subject matter is less campy conspiracy and more sleek mystery thriller. “Project Blue Book” also attempts to do justice to history by exploring the tension between sincere research efforts on the part of Hynek and potential coverups on the part of the U.S. government. It seems this last detail is a major theme of the 10 episodes that comprise the miniseries. Seven hundred of the many thousands of cases from Project Blue Book were left officially unresolved. The eerie phenomena involved in the study typically featured sightings of unearthly objects and light formations, sometimes moving at impossible speeds, sometimes even having close encounters with government aircrafts. Still unexplained half a century later, these mysteries are ripe for fictional speculation, and, according to Gillen, “Project Blue Book” sat-
isfies the need for conjecture with equal parts intrigue and integrity. Described as a family man as well as a brilliant scientific mind, Hynek’s personal life is explored in the show alongside his UFOlogy. As such, Gillen’s task as an actor is to portray great depths through his relationships, particularly with Mimi but also with Quinn, the partner foisted on Hynek by the air force. Quinn seems to respect Hynek but also tries to rein in his investigative efforts at the government’s behest. Gillen told IGN that one of the most compelling aspects of the story is Hynek’s ability to keep an open mind, question everything in the search for authentic truth, and “still retain his credibility as a scientist.”
Malarkey, whose character is based on an amalgamation of real-life figures involved in Project Blue Book, is as enthusiastic as Gillen about the depth of character that the two get to explore together. As the weight of the mysterious forces that they are dealing with becomes ever clearer, their initial mutual resistance transforms into unexpected camaraderie. Any show that deals with investigations into the creepy unknown needs a great detective team whose differences play off one another, and the screen chemistry of these two investigators is a major highlight of “Project Blue Book.”
Last fall, History revealed its official trailer for “Project Blue Book,” and if the sample of foreboding mystery it offers says anything about the coming series, UFO junkies everywhere will soon have a truly binge-worthy treat to help get them through the winter. The trailer displays Hynek’s initial skepticism as he is first recruited to the project, followed by ominous flashes of what he discovers along the way, including the testimonies of insistent UFO witnesses claiming “with God as my witness, it was not of this world.”
Prepare to be a believer: “Project Blue Book” is a series that combines historical accuracy with sci-fi thriller intrigue and depth of character progression. Sure to be a gripping story from start to finish, the 10-episode series is set to premiere Tuesday, Jan. 8, on History.
Today is Cyber Monday! It’s the busiest shopping day of the year, and Americans spent billions of dollars online. Earlier today, I saw a UPS guy hiding under his own truck and breathing into a paper bag.
Of course, to get deals, there were codes you had to enter online. L.L. Bean was 20 percent off with the code “THANKS-20.” The Gap was 50 percent off with the code “CYBER.” And Kohl’s was free with the code “Please Take This Crap Off Our Hands.”
Everything on the Gap’s website was 50 percent off. But it’s just not the same without hearing a real employee sigh after you grab a shirt, unfold it, then toss it back on the pile.
Florida has ordered a mandatory recount of both its Senate and gubernatorial results from last week’s election. And hopefully, if all goes well with the recount, by next week Al Gore will be president.
Following the midterm elections, Republicans will hold leadership elections this Wednesday and current House majority leader Kevin McCarthy is expected to become House minority leader. It’s tough to find someone to fill the job because no one in the Republican party wants to have the word “minority” in their title.
First lady Melania Trump issued a statement today calling for the removal of deputy national security adviser Mira Ricardel. Wait, she can do that? All this time we’ve been waiting for Robert Mueller to get rid of Trump when we should have been talking to her. She already doesn’t like him.
Philadelphia Flyers mascot Gritty helped light the Christmas Tree outside Philadelphia’s City Hall this week. He was a last-minute replacement for Santa Claus, who was busy trying to escape from Gritty’s trunk.
President Trump attacked Michael Cohen for pleading guilty to lying to Congress, calling him a “weak person.” Oh really? What gave that away, his chin?
American border agents fired tear gas and pepper spray on hundreds of migrants who tried to enter the country illegally through Tijuana, giving migrants a fun preview of what it’s like to be a minority in America.
Protesters at the G20 Summit flew a giant baby Trump balloon, which in the past Trump has said makes him feel unwelcome. Well yeah, I mean, the diaper balloon was never meant as a tribute. Also, saying “that balloon is being mean to me” is a pretty clear sign of dementia.

t’s 2019, and the new year sure is off to a sweet start — at least it is on Food Network, thanks to a new season of “Kids Baking Championship.” On a specialty channel that doesn’t exactly suffer from a shortage of baking competition shows, this one stands out from the crowd due to its smaller-than-average contestants who more than make up for their lack of worldly experience with their skills in the kitchen.
Baker Duff Goldman (“Ace of Cakes”) and actress Valerie Bertinelli (“Valerie’s Home Cooking”) return to host the sixth season of the competition, which kicks off Monday, Jan. 7. In the premiere, the hosts meet a dozen new bak-
ers between the ages of 9 to 13, each one ready to prove that they’re more than a match for the baking challenges ahead.
In the premiere, the bakers are tasked with making cupcakes that feature one of Goldman’s favorite ingredients: bacon! The savory treat has become a popular addition to baked goods in recent years, but the contestants are also assigned another ingredient that they have to pair with the bacon. These secondary ingredients include caramel, ginger, chocolate and cherry. And that’s not all: the hosts love keeping the kids on their toes, so not long after they start baking, Bertinelli throws yet another challenging ingredient into the mix.
Over the course of 10 episodes, the young bakers face a variety of
challenges. They make tarts using jalapenos, goat cheese yuzu and anise; they sculpt monkey bread volcanoes that actually erupt; and they tackle the latest trends in dessert. The pressure is on, but for one talented baker it will all be worth it. At stake for the winner is a feature in Food Network Magazine and a tasty $25,000 prize.
“This season of ‘Kids Baking Championship’ delivers new challenges with surprising twists,
making this the toughest most exciting competition yet,” Courtney White, president of Food Network, said. “Even the most skilled pastry chefs would crumble under the pressure.”
These kids may not be pastry chefs yet, but they sure are skilled home bakers with bright futures ahead of them. The new season of “Kids Baking Championship” premieres Monday, Jan. 7, on Food Network.
