Before I even get into the con this week, it’s great to see Matthew Lillard as our bad guy of the week. He’s one of my favorite character actors from the 90s (oh hello She’s All That and Scream) and it’s great to still seem him around. That out of the way, Lillard’s playing a scam artist who is now …

It’s taken me a rewatch to find a way to explain this episode, which splits itself between the present and the past with some carefully placed flashback sequences and some hilarious costumes. I think the hardest part of this set-up is that there’s another con that Nate wanted to run instead of this case. In this case, the team must …

In this week’s Leverage, to take down a competitive cheerleading company that profits by putting teenage girls at risk, the team must tackle its most corrupt foe yet: Congress. A job over a cheerleading competition, with a very serious accident, nearly killing a girl. Putting Parker in charge of cheerleading teenaged girls is even more hilarious. I do like, in …

It’s rather hard to recap a show where so much is watching a very complicated con work out in forty-four minutes. Last week, I came away from the episode with a sense of knowing that Hardison and Parker are one step closer to being a real couple. This was what I love most about the episode in the end. I’m …

Just before Political Animals hit the halfway mark in its limited run, James Wolk, who plays younger son Douglas, took the time to speak with a group of reporters about his character and the relationships between Douglas and the rest of his family and friends as Secretary of State Barrish’s silent campaign ramps up. Question: So tell me about Doug’s …

I’d like to apologize for the lack of recap for the premiere, but that’s all the fault of Comic Con and a very dear friend who needed some extra time in San Diego. So, the gang has moved to Portland and there’s some sneaky things afoot. Any episode, of any show, that starts out with a sports fight has my …

For a serious show about a ghost, a vampire and a werewolf, the panel for Syfy’s Being Human was anything but serious. Stars Sam Huntington and Sam Witmer jumped out on stage mock fighting, while Meaghan Rath looked graceful and calm opposite her co-stars. Moderated by Dru Moorhouse from Zap2It, the panel was much like the opening: laughs mixed with serious …

After a panel that brought the cast and creative team behind Firefly to tears, Joss Whedon, Tim Minear, Adam Baldwin, Nathan Fillion, Summer Glau, Sean Maher and Alan Tudyk gathered for a press conference to highlight the retrospective special that Science will air for the show on 11 November, following another marathon of the show on the same network. In much …

It’s time for the season finale…and that’s always a sad moment for me. Of course that’s actually tempered when I start to watch the episode and I’m brought back to June’s high school days where she sounds exactly like me (minus the mascot!) So much for June has changed since she met Chloe, including June feeling like a cool kid, …

Really late recaps mean that so much of what I could say about some other news with this show might color the recap. You’ve all been warned now. I mean, I love this show, and I’ll keep watching, even if the man whose vision created it isn’t running the show. More on that later. Maybe. Cornelius’ assistant is the newspaper …
