Emma Ishta: The Heart of “Stitchers”

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (23.5MB)

Emma Ishta, "Stitchers" — STITCHERS — “Stitchers” follows Kirsten, a young woman recruited into a covert government agency to be “stitched” into the minds of the recently deceased, using their memories to investigate murders and decipher mysteries that otherwise would have gone to the grave. (ABC Family/Adam Rose) Emma Ishta

This week, Summer talks with Stitchers lead Emma Ishta about the breakout new hit “scifi procedural” for ABC Family. Emma plays Kirsten, a grad student whose unique neurological makeup makes her a perfect operative for a secret government program that’s able to examine the memories of newly deceased people to find out what really happened to them, or to uncover any information that might be lost with their deaths.

The chemistry between the characters and the fast-moving witty geek banter are engaging and appealing, and the additional exploration of how emotions (or lack thereof) affect people and interpersonal connections is fascinating. What remains to be seen (perhaps to be explored in the newly announced Season 2) are the bigger mysteries of the program and Kirsten’s familial connection to it.

The season finale airs August 4, so get in while you can to follow along with the Tuesday night live tweets from the cast via @StitchersTV and #Stitcherschat

So, that one line that Emma and I talked about, about Kirsten taking Ed’s last name to make things easier, it wasn’t a scene that might have been edited out of the pilot episode… that exact conversation between Ed and the young Kirsten takes place in the season finale (which I’ve just watched, and WOW).

More on the season finale later… stay tuned.

Mike Blick on “Terminator: Dark Fate” is a worthy, action-packed sequel: “I had some interest in seeing this until I learned that John Connor is assassinated in the first few minutes…”
Robert Will on The Coming – A Slice of SciFi Review: “I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Just enough twist to keep me glued. I consider myself a sci-fi aficionado after…”
brando on “The Fast and The Furious” became Earth-based space opera, and I’m here for it: “Yes!! I personally grew up with the films in heavy rotation until Speed Racer came along and convinced me no…”
Summer Brooks on “The Fast and The Furious” became Earth-based space opera, and I’m here for it: “Glad you liked it! I never paid much attention to the movies until I happened across both my brother and…”
brando on “The Fast and The Furious” became Earth-based space opera, and I’m here for it: “damn this is one of the best takes of this franchise i've seen in a while, i love it!”
