Matt Roush's thoughts about rescue me, the big bang theory

Question: I was wondering what you think about this season of Rescue Me so far.

Matt Roush: I'm enjoying the final season to a point, but I'm also rather relieved that Rescue Me is nearing its endgame a year from now . I've come this far with these characters, so I'll stay with it to the end. Rescue Me is still entertaining.

Question: With the ending of Rescue Me in sight,I have not been able to find a show on TV that has the right amount of comedy and drama.

Matt Roush: Justified is as dark as Rescue Me, and its flawed hero is almost well-adjusted by Tommy Gavin standards, but the mix of comedy and drama is very strong. I also recommend Nurse Jackie, the Soprano.

Question: I loved the Doctor Who finale with all its twists and turns. But what I loved most was the ever- elusive River Song. She needs her own show pronto. It would be nice to have a sci-fi show with a strong female lead. What do you think are the chances?

Matt Roush: Actually, wouldn't a female Doctor be a nice change one of these iterations? Sci-fi shows in recent years have been much more generous in creating strong female roles, from Farscape to Battlestar Galactica to you name it, but with River Song, I think her elusive nature is best played out in small and mysterious doses. More might actually be less where she's concerned, although every time she appeared on Doctor Who last season, I enjoyed it.

Question: I absolutely loved Wil Wheaton on The Big Bang Theory. I even enjoyed watching him on Leverage. Is there any chance of seeing Wil on Big Bang or Leverage again or on any other shows for that matter?

Matt Roush: He was just in an episode of Eureka, so Wil is keeping busy. Don't know if he could return to Leverage or Eureka—haven't watched the latter yet, being wrapped up in the TCA doings lately, and ironically having almost no free time available to watch current TV while out in Los Angeles—but with The Big Bang Theory, he is very much a part of that show's ongoing "mythology," so to speak, as Sheldon's nemesis.
