'Frozen Planet' Producers Witness 'Icy Finger Of
Death'

Have you seen "Frozen Planet"? The documentary series, from the producers of "Planet Earth," explores the wildlife and scenery that comprise the planet's polar regions. The U.S. version, airing on the Discovery Channel, is narrated by actor Alec Baldwin.

"Frozen Planet" producers Alastair Fothergill and Vanessa Berlowitz recently sat down with AOL to discuss what they found so intriguing about the Earth's polar regions.

Berlowitz remarked about Earth's poles, "They're just the greatest wildernesses on our planet. And there's so many incredible animals and amazing wildlife and scenery to show there."

Fothergill agreed that "there were many moments when we had absolutely extraordinary rushes come in [while working on 'Frozen Planet']."

The producers also explained the poles' importance to the rest of the world. Berlowitz said, "Everything that we kind of experience, in terms of our weather and our global sea levels, are linked to what's going on at the poles. It was really interesting to see actually the dynamic change that the poles are undergoing right now, and to think about the implications that could have for the whole planet."

Fothergill noted that "it might be 20 or 30 years" before as much time and money is spent filming in the polar regions again. With changing polar conditions, Fothergill believes "'Frozen Planet' represents ... the last time to see this wonderful, unspoiled wilderness in its original state."

Check out another clip from Discovery's "Frozen Planet" below, and scroll down to watch the "icy finger of death."

The Daily Beast: "What Happened to NBCs Smash"

While the pilot was a hit with critics, few have been happy with NBC?s Smash since. How could things have gone so wrong, so quickly? Over at The Daily Beast, you can read my latest feature, in which I offer my take on NBC's Smash, which started out with such promise but has turned into a head-scratching mess of a show. (Also, said story is being advertised on the site as, "A Jace Lacob rant." Ha!)What has happened to Smash? Despite a pilot episode that was praised by critics, Smash went from must-see TV to stumbling, face first, into the orchestra pit in a matter of weeks. While the show will be back next season after a renewal last week, the show?s creator, Theresa Rebeck, won?t be returning.That has to be a boon, given how uneven Smash has been. For every well-done and lavish musical number, there have been countless appalling elements each week.One of the concerns about Smash going in was that it would be too insular: that its depiction of the rush to stage the Broadway launch of Marilyn: The Musical would prove to be too inside for a mass audience. But, in an effort to downplay the specificity of its world, Smash has instead spent the majority of each week?s episode focusing on the home lives of the characters and on the often tedious battle between the two would-be Monroes, jaded Ivy (Megan Hilty) and sunny ingénue Karen (Katharine McPhee).Even in that retreat, Smash has proven itself to be weak-willed, attempting to cram earnest drama and...
