Reverie S01E03 – Press Release – Updated x2

Reverie season 1, episode 3: “No More Mr Nice Guy”

Official Press Release:

06/13/2018 (10:00PM – 11:00PM) (Wednesday) : A family man robs banks in his Reverie and Mara (Sarah Shahi) must uncover the deeper reasons why. Mara’s derealizations put her life in danger. Dennis Haysbert, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Kathryn Morris and Jessica Lu also star.

Update (7th June): For completeness I’ve added a short clip for this episode which was broadcast after episode two in the usual ‘next week on…’ slot. The video is only 3o seconds long and has the credits running over it but it gives you some idea of content of this one. No Kathryn.

Update 2 (8th June): A couple more video clips from ‘No More Mr Nice Guy’ have been added. The first focuses on Mara (Sarah) and her ‘derealizations’ (hallucinations outside the VR environment) and the second on Paul’s (Sendhil) childhood issues.

Reverie S01E02 – Press Release And Promo? – Updated x3

When is a preview video not a preview video?

Straight after the first episode of Reverie aired last week a short promo video was shown. It is common practice for a teaser for the next episode to be shown at that time to make the audience go “ooh, that looks good, I must watch that.”

That’s what would normally happen, and for that very reason many have taken the video to be just that. You’d think the words “This Season” near the start and the multitude of guest stars would be clues enough. There almost certainly is a clip or two from ‘Bond. Jane Bond‘ in there, but it is not a trailer about the episode.

On the other hand the official press release for episode two is about it, whereas as the similar release for the pilot was more generic and didn’t mention the case of the week.

06/06/2018 (10:00PM – 11:00PM) (Wednesday) : When a client becomes addicted to a “Jane Bond” adventure, Mara (Sarah Shahi) must help her assemble the missing pieces in her life to save her. At the same time, Mara deals with the unanticipated side effects of Reverie. Dennis Haysbert, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Kathryn Morris and Jessica Lu also star.

Looks like we will get to see our first use of Onira-Tech’s VR technology for people to live out a fantasy life, in this case a James Bond-style action-filled adventure, instead of reliving a part of their real life.

There were promo images released for ‘Bond. Jane Bond‘ but none included Kathryn. Hopefully that is a not an omen for the amount of Monica Shaw appears.

We have a longer version of the this latest promo video now in the KM UK the Gallery.

Update (5th June): A clip from the show has been released showing Mara Kint (Sarah Shahi) entering the Reverie of the lady that is living out the Jane Bond-style fantasy. Hilarity ensues. No Kathryn. Check it out in the usual place.

Update 2 (5th June): Another short video clip from this episode has been released. This one sees Mara having the latest case, our ‘Jane Bond’, explained to her and she is introduced to her new office. Still no Kathryn. You know where to find the video.

Update 3 (6th June): Guess what? Yes, we have yet another short video clip from this episode. Guess what? Yes, Sarah Shahi stars. Guess what? Yes, Kathryn features strongly in this one. Yay! Mara sort of meets Monica for the first time. Charlie brushes off her question about the mysterious lady and does much the same with Monica regarding Mara.

Reverie S01E01 – Apertus Screencaps

Based on the promo photos and videos released I was certainly under the impression that Kathryn would not feature much in this initial episode of Reverie. And so it came to pass.

Other than briefly hearing her voice on the end of some phone calls with Charlie (Dennis Haysbert) we only got to see Monica Shaw in the restaurant scene near the end of the episode, as shown in the previously released promo photos. We do know that Monica is not just from the Department Of Defence and seems to know a lot about Mara (Sarah Shahi). No doubt this will become more apparent as the season progresses.

A small collection of HD (720p) screencaps are now in the KM UK the Gallery.

Rivera On Reverie

Not long left to go until Reverie premières on the American NBC network.

We have just enough time to squeeze in another snippet from an article about the show.

There have been many mentions of other TV shows and movies that have similar themes and ideas as Reverie in the numerous articles about the new drama series. The films like Inception and The Lawnmower Man, the book Through The Looking-Glass, a mid-90s virtual reality-based TV show VR.5. That kind of thing.

Another is the recent hit movie Ready Player One. Other than sharing a production company, Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment, virtual reality is the obvious point of comparison. However, Brittany Rivera (great name) at the Fandom website has dug a little deeper into the two to compare the characters.

Brittany makes the point that the major roles in RPO are male and they have direct parallels in female form in Reverie. What’s more the leading ladies (Sarah Shahi, Jessica Lu, and Kathryn) are of greater ethnic diversity than the predominantly white men of RPO.

Here’s how the Fandom article describes one of those women:

Monica Shaw (Kathryn Morris) is the wildcard of Reverie. She’s a mysterious venture capitalist with an interest in Onira-Tech. So far, it seems she is the most like Sorrento, Ready Player One‘s bad guy. She’s a businesswoman with her own agenda who cannot be trusted. Monica also has ties to the Department of Defense so her plans for Reverie are about how she can exploit the program for her own purposes.
