A fugitive pair run for their lives in ‘The Passage’
By Francis Babin TV MediaThe new year is officially upon us, which means New Year’s resolutions are in full vogue once again. As usual, countless well-meaning men and women will resolve to change themselves for the better, be it by getting in shape, learning a new language or exploring the world. Many people resolve to read more, but who has the time? Fortunately, Hollywood has us covered.
Like last year, a myriad of book adaptations are poised to grace the big and small screen in 2019. Looking to capture the world’s attention and become the next “Game of Thrones” or “The Handmaid’s Tale” are Hulu’s “Catch-22,” HBO’s “Watchmen” and plenty of other contenders. On Monday, Jan. 14, “The Passage” looks to become the next big adaptation when it premieres on Fox.
Based on the bestselling novel series by Justin Cronin, “The Passage” focuses on Project Noah, a secret medical facility located in Colorado, where the country’s best scientists are conducting experiments on an extremely dangerous virus found in the jungles of South
America. Working tirelessly, they hope to develop a new immunityboosting drug that would have the potential to cure all diseases. However, the deadly virus also has the power to wipe out the human race. It’s safe to say that the stakes are incredibly high and that things might get a bit apocalyptic.
Like all good tales of science gone bad, the Project Noah scientists, comprised of lead scientist Dr. Major Nichole Sykes (Caroline Chikezie, “The Shannara Chronicles”), Dr. Jonas Lear (Henry Ian Cusick, “The 100”) and other geniuses are in desperate need of human test subjects.
After seeing the effects of the virus on patient zero — Dr. Tim Fanning (Jamie McShane, “Bloodline”), who survived the jungle expedition — the lead doctors moved on to Death Row inmate Shauna Babcock (Bri anne Howey, “The Exorcist”). In both cases, the test sub jects became un-
stable, highly contagious and incredibly violent, turning into vampire-like beings.
Operating under the belief that the virus’s side-effects might be somehow related to age, the Project Noah scientists set out to find a new and younger guinea pig. Since a child’s immune system has not had a chance to fully mature, it might be possible for the host and the virus to live in harmony. Eventually, a 10‐year‐old orphan named Amy Bellafonte (Saniyya Sidney, “American Horror Story: Roanoke”) is deemed to be the perfect candidate and is selected to be a
Federal agent Brad Wolgast (Mark-Paul Gosselaar, “Franklin & Bash”) is chosen to protect the young girl and escort her to the remote facility, things soon get complicat-

ed when the two form a very close bond. Over the course of their trip to the secret medical facility, Wolgast starts to see himself as her surrogate father and ultimately decides that he cannot bring her in after a crisis of conscience. Determined to protect her at any cost, he must outrun the authorities with the girl in tow.
To keep Amy safe, Wolgast must face off against his former protégé and ex-CIA operative, Clark Richards (Vincent Piazza, “Boardwalk Empire”). Fiercely intelligent and relentless, he will stop at nothing to stop the fugitives. In order to survive, the pair must seek allies anywhere they can, including Wolgast’s former wife, Dr. Lila Kyle (Emmanuelle Chriqui, “Super Troopers 2,” 2018).
As things get heated outside the walls of the medical facility with the pair on the run, things are about to take a turn for the worse inside. The quarantined test subjects are getting used to their new selves and are trying out their new powers, bringing the world one step closer to a cataclysmic event.
Cronin’s series is incredibly ambitious, spanning 1,000 years and containing more than 100 characters. It’s perfectly suited for episodic television, but the series was not always destined to be a smallscreen property. Originally developed for the big screen, the timejumping apocalyptic sci-fi epic was eventually retooled (for the better) after those heading the project truly realized its scope and potential. The first season will only depict the events related to Project Noah detailed in the first novel, while the next season will delve into the colony storyline.

“The Passage” won’t shy away from vampires and other sci-fi/horror elements found in the source material, but it will emphasize the father-daughter relationship at the heart of novel. At the Television Critics Association press tour last summer, writer Liz Heldens (“Friday Night Lights”) discussed how she wanted the series to spotlight Amy and Wolgast’s relationship first and foremost, not only because it’s interesting but because it’s something that everyone can relate to. It makes the series accessible for the home audience who may not be typical viewers of similar series.
After reports that he tried to do business with Russia, President Trump said everything he did was, quote, “very legal and very cool.” Not a good sign when the president explains himself like a stoner who got pulled over on the way home from Burning Man.
I heard that on Jan. 1, “Friends” might be leaving Netflix. When fans heard, they said, “Wow — no one told us life was gonna be this way.”
Over the weekend, a man proposed in Times Square, but he was so nervous he dropped the ring into a sidewalk grate. It was quite a scene — someone was in distress, and like 50 Spider-Mans just stood there watching.
Tonight is the third night of Hanukkah! It’s nice — Jewish people lit a few candles, while their Christian neighbors put up 40,000 LED lights that are choreographed to “We Will Rock You.”
A new poll found that the top three Democratic contenders for president in 2020 are Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Beto O’Rourke. Biden’s got the best experience, Bernie’s got the best fundraising and Beto’s got the best chance of being alive in 2020.
I saw that Michelle Obama said one of the reasons she supported her husband’s presidential campaign in 2008 was because she thought he wouldn’t win. Barack was like, “Aw, that’s sweet — wait, what?”
“I was rear ended and connected with my insurance company who recommended Shannon’s to complete the body work on my car. I was not disappointed. This was hands down the best customer service I have ever received. Sarah was knowledgeable and friendly and my car was not only completed ahead of schedule, but I did not expect the detail inside and out to be so thorough. I couldn’t believe it was the same car! I will recommend Shannon’s to everyone!” — Cayanne Ruis

Chefs Burrell and Florence welcome a new batch of culinary dunces
By Andrew Warren TV MediaF or some people, cooking is just easy. Whether it’s the result of years of practice or just a knack for details, there are plenty of home cooks who make whipping up delicious dishes seem like a piece of cake. On the other hand, I think we all know someone who is a total disaster in the kitchen — the sort of person who gets asked to bring something storebought to potlucks, or whose kids run for the hills when the dinner bell starts ringing.
Well, there’s good news for 15 of the nation’s biggest culinary dunces: a new season of “Worst Cooks in America” premiered last week on Food Network, and its
culinary boot camp continues Sunday, Jan. 13. Chefs Anne Burrell and Tyler Florence serve as both mentors and judges, each taking on a team of culinary recruits that they try to educate in basic cooking techniques.
It’s not as easy as it sounds — these home cooks really are the worst of the worst, and Anne and Tyler don’t pull punches when it comes to critiquing their mentees.
Tough love is the name of the game here, and at the end of each episode, each chef sends their own worst-performing recruit home.
In this week’s episode, the recruits are given a crash course in the wonderful properties of one of the simplest of ingredients — eggs. After enjoying a game of
egg roulette, the aspiring cooks are shown a pancake recipe by their mentors and asked to recreate it. Then they’re given a challenge inspired by the classic English breakfast before the chefs are forced to separate the good eggs from the bad and send a pair of their own recruits packing.
In next week’s episode, the home cooks go back to basics as they work with deceptively simple meat and potatoes. After hav-
ing all five of their senses tested in a skill drill, they’re tasked with making their own potato hash dishes. Then, the sky’s the limit when the recruits are asked to make a meat-based dish that would make any cowboy happy.
“Worst Cooks in America” is all in good fun, but the recruits really do learn how to be better home cooks. Catch the next episode on Sunday, Jan. 13, on Food Network.
