Science fiction is increasingly becoming science fact. The dreams of golden era writers and directors, while perhaps a bit exaggerated, are more prevalent now than ever before. Space exploration is advancing, with multiple groups and organizations vowing to establish a new home on Mars. This might explain why so many of us are captivated by intergalactic what-ifs, and why many summer TV viewers are tuning in to the sci-fi drama “Salvation,” now in its second season, with a new episode airing Monday, July 16, on CBS.
“Salvation” takes place in present-day America, using modern technology and a dash of fictional liberty to set the stage. Liam Cole (Charlie Row, “Red Band Society”) is a highly intellectual MIT graduate student whose research has been devoted to mapping the unknown parts of space. What Liam didn’t anticipate, however, was that his program would uncover a serious, impending threat to the entire planet: an asteroid set to collide with Earth in 186 days. Anxious to get the data to the government, Liam reaches out to his professor, but after the professor goes missing, he turns to his one oth-
er option: scientific genius Darius Tanz (Santiago Cabrera, “Big Little Lies”), a recent speaker at MIT who’s still — thankfully — in town.
Armed with this new, time-sensitive information, Darius and Liam head to the Pentagon and deliver the news to the Department of Defense’s deputy secretary, Harris Edwards (Ian Anthony Dale, “Hawaii Five-0”). Harris and DOD public affairs press secretary Grace Barrows (Jennifer Finnigan, “Tyrant”) have no choice but to let these two skilled scientists into a covert operation called Sampson, revealing that the government was already well aware of the threat but had chosen to keep it hidden in order to prevent mass pandemonium.
The thrilling conclusion of season 1 saw the president reinstated, TESS’s source code given up to RE/ SYST and the group divided, awaiting the impeding likely demise of the East Coast. Harris and Grace, along with the rest of the selected crew, are all stowed away within a hangar, ready to board the Ark if necessary, while Darius and Liam work from a secure location to try to determine another way to prevent Earth’s destruction.
With the second season now underway, it’s clear to see that the danger is compounding. RE/SYST is
threatening nuclear action, the asteroid’s imminent collision continues to present a dire outlook for humanity, and neither situation can be resolved without global co-operation. Meanwhile, Harris and Grace are struggling to quell potential chaos within the hangar as the newly informed citizens learn to accept their fate.
In a recent interview with KCAL9 CBS Los Angeles, Finnigan touched on the growing tension of a disasterbent narrative. The actress notes that, while “the show is mostly about this impeding asteroid — the sort of scaring, impending doom of that,” people are “still living [their lives],” as the truth makes it difficult for people to accept, which leads them to set out a course of action that reveals what’s truly important to them. Now that “the public knows” and “the secret is out ... people go bananas.” An event such as this will no doubt “bring out the best” or to “bring out the worst [in us],” but ultimately, Finnigan believes that the most realistic depiction — something that the series strives to exhibit — is where the best and worst in us collide.
A large part of the show’s success is thanks to the popular disaster genre. Most prominent in film, the genre was born in 1901 with a silent film called “Fire!,” though
“Salvation” is likely drawing more so from the golden era of disaster cinema, circa the 1970s. Films such as “Airport” (1970), “Earthquake” (1974) and “Meteor” (1979) gave audiences a thirst for the point at which science fiction and dramatic thrillers meet. In the late 1990s, a new wave of disaster films arrived that, like “Salvation,” saw our biggest threat coming from the stars.
“Independence Day” (1996), “Deep Impact” (1998) and “Armageddon” (1998) are just three of the spacebased dramatic thrillers that signified this once niche subcategory of the genre growing increasingly prominent.
Not constricted by the two-tothree-hour runtime of its big-screen forerunners, “Salvation” provides deeper insight into the human reactions and cost of catastrophic events, rather than placing emphasis on fantastic explosions, tidal waves and meteor collisions. Despite the imminence of the threat, audiences find themselves more compelled by the characters’ narratives than a desire to witness destruction, which is a refreshing take on a genre increasingly oversaturated with CGI and mass destruction.
As season 2 of “Salvation” progresses, the price of loyalty will increase in value. As the asteroid continues its journey toward Earth, Harris, Grace, Liam and Darius will do all they can to try and maintain a sense of calm while uncovering a means by which disaster might ultimately be prevented. If all else fails, there is, of course, the Ark, but that will mean biding a tearful adieu to two beloved characters. Find out the fates of our daring heroes and the planet itself, as “Salvation” continues with a new episode airing Monday, July 16, on CBS.
It was 90 degrees in New York City today. Yeah, you know it’s bad when you get that dirty gust of wind from the subway and you go, “Ahh!”
This year, Americans spent around $15 billion on Father’s Day. When dads thanked their kids for the gifts, the kids were like, “No problem, I ordered them using your Amazon account.”
The story of the week has been Trump’s pro-baby-snatching agenda, and today it took another weird turn. Because, to try to humanize these child detention centers, the administration sent their most high-profile detainee, Melania Trump.
Canada has just announced that they will become the second country in the world to legalize marijuana. So while it’s been wonderful to be back here in London, I can officially announce next year we will be taking the show to Toronto.
Here in the United Kingdom, officials are looking at the possibility of legalizing medical marijuana. When asked about it this week, Prime Minister Theresa May said that she had never smoked cannabis in her life. I believe her! You know why? Because she calls it cannabis.

The seaside is beautiful at any time of the year, but to most of us, the salty breezes and sandy shores are at their best right now, in the heat of summer. Not all of us live within easy reach of the seaside, but that just makes every visit all the more special.
Of course, a big part of the ocean’s appeal is the food, and lobster roll king Sabin Lomac is going coast to coast in his new Cooking Channel show to check out some of the best seaside eats he can find.
“Seaside Snacks & Shacks” premieres Thursday, July 19, with Lomac paying a visit to Lulu’s, a classy coastal dive that’s run by none other than musician Jimmy Buffett’s sister, where Lomac chows down on a fried green tomato pimento cheeseburger that’s served up with some classic Southern gumbo. Then, on South Carolina’s Daufuskie Island, he digs into delicious deviled blue crab and some incredible fried chicken.
It isn’t just the East Coast that’s on Lomac’s itenerary in the premiere. Still hungry, he heads west to San Diego’s shore, where
a hotdog stand serves up a chili con carne dog that packs in three different meats, and a blazing-hot bombero dog that’s topped with seven super-spicy salsas. For his last stop, he sticks to California and heads to Balboa Island for dessert. While admiring the gorgeous views, he checks out a local favorite: frozen bananas. Not content to enjoy just one, he first tries the original with chocolate and rainbow sprinkles, and follows it up by coming up with his own specialty flavor of the frozen fruit treat.
Through all six episodes, Lomac not only hits coastal destinations in the west and the east, but also the north and south. The shores of Lake Michigan and the Gulf Coast have beaches that are just as spectacular as those in New England or the Carolinas, and the foods served there are just as delightful to boot.
Good food, great views and seaside waves just go together, especially at this time of year.
“Seaside Snacks & Shacks” premieres Thursday, July 19, on Cooking Channel.
