Head injuries are at the forefront of professional sports more than ever these days. And while much of the talk of concussions centers on football, hockey too has its share of such injuries. No one knows that better than Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron, who will take to the ice Wednesday, Oct. 15, on NBC Sports Network, when the Bruins visit the Detroit Red Wings. Bergeron is coming off his second 30-plus-goal season, one in which he led the team with 30, and helped propel the Bruins to the top of the Atlantic Division and Eastern Conference, as well as the Presidents’ Trophy. After taking care of business in five games against the Red Wings in the Conference Quarterfinals of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Bruins succumbed to the Montreal Canadiens in seven, coming up short in their bid for a second Cup in three years. After overcoming a highly publicized concussion in 2008 and another in ’11, Bergeron appears to be in top form. He signed an eight-year, $52-million contract extension prior to the 2013-14 season, when Bergeron caught fire for the Bruins. During Team Canada’s 2014 Olympic gold medal run, he played forward and helped the team win its second straight Olympic gold at Sochi, Russia. Bergeron remains a favorite for the 2018 Olympic team. Until then, hockey fans can expect to see him skating in Boston as the Bruins will look for another solid finish this season, one that won’t be interrupted by a work stoppage or Olympic play.

‘Jane the Virgin’ cuts to the chaste

Given the title and the focus on an actual pregnant virgin, it’s understandable that some will assume The CW’s delightful show, premiering Monday, Oct. 13, is sacrilegious. Rather, Jane (Gina Rodriguez) is a chaste young woman. She and her boyfriend are waiting for marriage, and she lives by her grandmother’s lesson about abstinence. “She is studying to be a teacher and has dreams of being a writer but works as a mermaid,” Rodriguez says during an interview in Beverly Hills, Calif. At her annual gynecological exam, Jane assumes she is getting a pap smear. A doctor, who isn’t her regular physician, thinks Jane is someone else and artificially inseminates her. Jane gets pregnant instantly. Now Jane is still a virgin – albeit a pregnant one. The show treats this issue seriously, yet there’s humor in the tone and characters. Jane never wanted to emulate her mother and grandmother, both young mothers.

BY JACQUELINE CUTLER

Gina Rodriguez stars in “Jane the Virgin,” premiering Monday on The CW.

The doctor’s office figures out what happened, but the situation is even more complicated than first appears. The man whose sperm was used is now sterile because of an illness. He and his wife, not the nicest woman, desperately want a baby. The embryo Jane is carrying is their only hope. Understandably, Jane’s fiance is less than thrilled with the predicament. The series is set up to follow Jane’s relationships with her mom, grandmother, the couple trying to conceive, and fiance. Based on a Venezuelan telenovela, showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman decided the main character had to have a strong moral code. “When this show was brought to me, it became very specific in terms of who this woman is, what the specific relationship that she has to her mother, who had her at 16, and how that would inform her decision, and how she’s growing up with her grandmother who is religious,” Urman

says at a press conference. “So all of that does kind of create a character who I wanted to be very moral, and whatever decision you have, you can be moral, but she’s coming from a very specific set of circumstances. And I want you to feel that in the character going forward.” Jane is Latina, and the grandmother sometimes speaks Spanish. Rodriguez notes that the story is universal. This situation could, conceivably, happen to any woman. “They are strong women and every culture has them,” Rodriguez says. Jane could have an abortion, “but all we know is she will keep the baby,” she says. “She wants her plan to keep going.” With her grandmother and mom’s support, Jane will keep that plan going, and keep it real. Unlike much on TV, Rodriguez says, “We are not vampires. We are not wolves. And it is a real story.”

‘Top Chef’

BY GEORGE DICKIE

heads to Boston for wicked good eats in Season 12 Thanksgiving dinner at Plimoth Plantation, ballpark eats at Fenway Park and bar comestibles at “Cheers.” It’s little wonder, then, why host Padma Lakshmi calls Season 12 of “Top Chef” “the most American of seasons.” The new season of the Bravo culinary competition series, which opens Wednesday, Oct. 15, touches down in Boston as chef’testants battle it out at various locales in and around the city under the watchful eyes of returning judges Tom Colicchio, Gail Simmons and Hugh Acheson and recurring judge Richard Blais. A highlight of the season for Lakshmi was a challenge in which the chefs had to create an authentic Thanksgiving dinner using only ingredients and equipment that were available at the first celebration in 1621. “We wanted to stay as true as possible to the experience of the pilgrims,” Lakshmi explains. “We wanted to replicate that for our chefs, so they wound up spending the night there. They had nuts, they had cranberries. They had certain things like salt ... . They did have squash, they had pumpkin seeds, they had lobster, they had rabbit, they had zucchini, they had corn. They had all of the things that would traditionally grow there at that time. “We helped them out a little bit but really they had to build their own fires, they had to tend to them, they had to regulate the heat on those fires ... . They were stripped of any modern convenience or any exotic ingredients that weren’t typically indigenous to that part of the world or could have been brought from England. ... And we did have a lot of historians on hand to help us with that.” The result, Lakshmi says, was food she couldn’t stop eating – not unlike a modern Thanksgiving. “It was different, it was fresh, it was flavorful, it had a lot of savoriness,” she says. “And left to their bare-bones equipment and ingredients, I think the chefs really dug deep and found their inner voice, their inner identity as chefs.” What are you currently reading? “I am currently reading, again, ‘A Moveable Feast’ by Ernest Hemingway. It was on my bookshelf and I just felt like reading something by Hemingway and it was staring me in the face. So I thought this was a good short book

for me to devour again. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about Paris so it seemed like a nice book to read.” What did you have for dinner last night? “Last night I had lamb shoulder and blackeyed peas and rice. And chili eggplant.”

Padma Lakshmi

What is your next project? “My next project is to finish this book I’m writing (laughs) but I don’t want to talk about it until it’s written.”

When was the last vacation you took – where and why? “I took a vacation in July to Mexico with my 4-year-old daughter and my parents as a present to my mother, who turned 70 this year.”

With original director Bryan Singer returning, a clever plot conceit lets cast members from the movie franchise’s various editions merge here ... so both Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy can be Professor Xavier, and Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender both can play Magneto. The story’s real lynchpin is Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, who’s sent back in time to alter events that would set up big danger for mutants and humans alike. Peter Dinklage (“Game of Thrones”) plays a scientist at the heart of the problems, with Halle Berry, Jennifer Lawrence, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page and Nicholas Hoult among the other returnees. ››› (PG-13: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray; starts Oct. 28 on On Demand) “MR. PEABODY & SHERMAN” Youngsters may need an explanation of who the characters are, but their elders likely remember the title duo from their television run as members of the animated stable that also yielded Rocky and Bullwinkle. Mr. Peabody (voice of “Modern Family” Emmy winner Ty Burrell) is a canine, but he’s managed to adopt young human Sherman (voice of Max Charles), and they embark on a literal trip through history via a time machine. Stephen Colbert and Allison Janney, both of whom also fared well at the recent Emmy Awards, also are heard along with Leslie Mann (“The Other Woman”). ››› (PG: AS) (Also on Blu-ray; starts Oct. 28 on On Demand) “FARGO: SEASON 1” The Coen brothers’ movie had big wins at the Oscars, and in turn, this FX series spinoff

Even if the two versions’ characters aren’t exact matches, they’re close enough in spirit, with Billy Bob Thornton as a questionable influence on a small-town-Minnesota insurance man (Martin Freeman).

A number of James Bond-movie alumni are involved in this effectively eerie Showtime series, including executive producers Sam Mendes and John Logan, who also worked together on “Skyfall.” Former 007 Timothy Dalton and Eva Green (“Casino Royale”) are featured in the Logan-created saga, which connects such classic figures as Dr. Victor

Max and Caroline (Kat Dennings, Beth Behrs) both have affairs of the heart in this round of the CBS sitcom. Max’s romance is with Deke (Eric Andre) – a seemingly poor and honest fellow – while Caroline gets involved with a cooking-school teacher (Gilles Marini) whose big secret eventually comes out.

If it seems Sarah Lancaster has been all over television lately ... well, yes. The former “Chuck” and “Everwood” co-star just finished a multiple-episode arc on Lifetime’s “Witches of East End,” and she’s made movies lately for that network (“The Preacher’s Mistress”), UP (“Love Finds You in Sugarcreek”) and Hallmark Channel (“Looking for Mr. Right”). She stays in the Hallmark family by starring with Cameron Mathison in “Along Came a Nanny” Sunday, Oct. 12, on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. Mathison plays the nanny who comes along – actually a police detective working undercover to probe burglaries in a neighborhood – and Lancaster portrays an actual caretaker of children. The actress and her attorney husband employ a nanny for their 3-yearold son, but she based much of her performance on someone else. “I do have a nanny, but when I’m home, I like to do it,” the pleasant Lancaster says, explaining she based her “Nanny” character Jessie “off of one of my best friends who happens to be named Jessie. She also happens to

have just gotten her Masters degree in child psychology; she worked with children with special needs for a really long time.” Grateful for so much work in made-for-cable movies, Lancaster likes that the schedules suit her family life. “It’s the ideal situation right now. I was obviously pregnant during ‘Chuck,’ and I went back about three months after Oliver was born to finish Season 5. He’s only going to be a baby boy for so long, and it’s only three or four weeks to do one of these movies.” Lancaster also has a major big-screen project now, appearing in the just-opened “The Judge” with Robert Downey Jr. (also a producer of the film) and Robert Duvall. “That was one of the best days of my professional life, for sure,” Lancaster recalls of landing the role of Downey’s soon-to-be-ex-wife. She notes he is “wearing a lot of hats on this, but he’s really available. He’d just sit down and we’d talk about where our kids are going to go to preschool, so it was also just talking to a dad. It was great.”

feature story By Jacqueline Cutler © Zap2it NBC has enough faith in “Marry Me” that it’s premiering after “The Voice” Tuesday, Oct. 14. A cringe-worthy scene opens the sitcom. with Annie and Jake (Casey Wilson, “Saturday Night Live,” Ken Marino, “Reno 911”) returning from a wonderful vacation. She is certain he was going to propose. He didn’t, and now she’s in a snit that escalates into a full-blown fit, during which she castigates relatives and friends. She’s ranting, with her back to him, and Jake is kneeling, ring in hand. Those relatives and friends are hidden around her apartment for the surprise engagement. “It’s not going to be about their wedding,” Wilson says. “It’s more of a ‘Mad About You’ update, I’m hoping it’s ‘Mad Men’ meets ‘30 Rock.’ ” Truly, it’s more of a “Happy Endings” reunion. Marino and Wilson worked together on that comedy, which David Caspe wrote. He also wrote “Marry Me” and did in fact marry Wilson. “When I was out pitching the show, I had not proposed yet, but I knew I was going to,” Caspe says during a press conference. “And in an attempt to sell the show, because I care much more about money than personal relationships, all my pitches were basically saying like what’s great about this show is that it’s going to mirror my
