Everything about Wynonna Earp, eh?

Link: Wynonna Earp’s Tim Rozon says Doc is out for himself

From Bridget Liszewski of The TV Junkies:

Wynonna Earp’s Tim Rozon says Doc is out for himself
“I honestly can’t tell you exactly what Wynonna thinks about Doc. Just because he said who he is doesn’t mean anybody believes it, or that all the sudden he’s trusted by anybody. At the same time, there are demons and she’s the heir to the curse to put down revenants, so there’s these things that aren’t normal, and she is more susceptible to believe what he’s saying.” Continue reading.

Wynonna Earp advances the plot in Episode 3

Monday’s episode of Wynonna Earp on CHCH—entitled “Leavin’ on Your Mind” and written by Brendon Yorke—is described thusly: three revenants go into the city to cut off an innocent murderer’s hand, and then steal a diary belonging to a deaf-mute poet. Wynonna and Xavier soon realize that they’re preparing to cast a spell … which will let them go over the line. And yes, that is what happens in the A-story, but the rest of the instalment goes a long way to revealing the machinations of at least one character.

Here’s what we can tell you without giving too much away.

Waverly and Wynonna are roomies
Yes, the sisters Earp have moved in together, though I’m assuming that’s after some home renos are done to patch the shotgun holes Waverly made in the walls in Episode 1.

Waverly has done her research
We already knew Waverly did some major digging into the Earp curse, but a key scene in the police station reveals more: there is a triangle shaped spot called The Ghost River Triangle that goes through Purgatory and the city, and keeps the revenants contained within it. While rifling through some old photos, Waverly finds a picture that sends her on a dangerous mission. So dangerous, in fact, she should have put her cell phone in airplane mode.

Is Agent Dolls really who he says he is?
Sure, Dolls refers to his superiors and he has that badge, but we have yet to see him call any superior’s back at the office. Is he really under orders from someone else, or is her a lone wolf with his own agenda?

Who (or what) the heck is Doc Holliday?
Doc has done two favours for Bobo Del Rey so far but doesn’t appear to be a revenant or under Bobo’s command. He’s searching for someone, and we finally find out who. Not that being given a name is all that helpful, though we’re given a tantalizing hint in the episode’s closing moments. While we’re talking about Doc and wondering about him, I’ve got a question: where does he get his money for booze?

Wynonna shows her soft side
We’re used to the snarky, physical Wynonna, but a family reunion reveals the vulnerable side to our heroine, a woman holding deep hurt, guilt … and revenge. But this being Wynonna Earp, the moment doesn’t last long.

Wynonna Earp airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on CHCH and at the network’s website via live streaming.

Tim Rozon on his hairy Wynonna Earp role

To say Tim Rozon is a fan of comic books would be a grave understatement. Rozon, who portrays Doc Holliday on CHCH’s Monday night sci-fi romp Wynonna Earp, blew his daily per diem on comics while attending WonderCon to promote the show for Syfy. He geeked out meeting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman and DC’s Jim Lee and spent all his free time walking the convention floor. So to land a role on a series based on Beau Hill’s graphic novels was, literally, a dream come true.

We spoke to Rozon about the research he did before playing Doc, the character’s complicated relationship with Wynonna, dealing with a devilish dude like Bobo Del Rey and why growing a real moustache was so important.

I’m a history buff, so going into Wynonna Earp I assumed Doc and Wynonna would be friends because of his connection to Wyatt. That doesn’t appear to be the in the show; if anything he appears to be aligned with Bobo.
Tim Rozon: People ask if Doc is good or bad and my answer to that is, what’s good and what’s bad? I’ve played villains and I don’t play them thinking I’m bad. I think what I’m doing is good. Doc lives in a grey area of good and bad and I think everyone on this show is driven by their own mission. Everybody feels they have something they need to get done for themselves and Doc is hell-bent on something. He’s going to use whoever and whatever he can to get that mission done. If he’s using Bobo or Wynonna, it really doesn’t matter to Doc.

Do things change? You’ll have to wait and see.

I love the fact that, at this point, Wynonna and Waverly just think he’s a super-fan with a great wardrobe.
Yeah! I mean, the writing is great. The funniest thing for me about the character is he’s not scared of a gunfight, but a selfie? He has no idea what that is. Getting in an elevator is what’s going to give Doc pause now.

Talk about growing the moustache and your research into Doc Holliday.
Here’s the thing. Doc Holliday is an iconic character and I grew up loving him. He’s been done really well by a lot of other people before. If I say, ‘I’m your Huckleberry,’ people know who that is. For those that don’t, it’s Val Kilmer as Holliday in Tombstone. I knew exactly who Doc Holliday was when this part came up and it was important for me to be as historically accurate as possible. So I went back and did a little research and the original moustache was big and had that little soul patch thing. I knew I was going to at least go with the moustache. It took about four months to grow that and I need it to play him. There is something about being on set with the hat, the gun and the moustache that really helps that character come out. It’s hard for me to do it right now. I’m so far away from Doc in regular life.

We also made sure that I had the right gun. In my research, I knew that it was a Colt Thunderer that we needed. And when I talked to production they told me that’s what they’d got, so I was really happy. I was carrying around a replica of the same gun he had.

Wow, did you take it? Do you have it?
I wish! I said, ‘Can I have this and hang it on my wall?’ They said, ‘No Tim, it’s a gun. You need a permit.’

Link: Wynonna Earp: Emily Andras talks “Keep the Home Fires Burning”

From Bridget Liszewski of The TV Junkies:

Wynonna Earp: Emily Andras talks “Keep the Home Fires Burning”
“ The truth is pilots are really, really hard. I’m incredibly proud of the Wynonna Earp pilot. I think it establishes the world pretty quickly, and you understand what’s happening with the demon revenants, and you really get a sense of Wynonna, her sister and the players in our world. I really think when you watch 102 you just see the fun, as the characters settle into their roles the performances really pop, and it’s indicative of the tone of our show overall. It’s fun and it’s fast and there’s lots of surprises. I hope people love it as much as they seem to love the pilot.” Continue reading.
