Thats right – Leverage is awesome!
There are 2 more episodes left in the current second season, and its already been renewed for a third. If anyone is into DVD commentary tracks, the DVD set for season 1 has tracks for every episode with lots of talk from former Blue Beetle writer John Rogers (no actors, since they were kinda busy making season 2).

Here i come with dorkdum.
Vampire Diaries IS based on a series from back in the late 80’s early 90’s by L.J. Smith. (Also called, The Vampire Diaries)
There is a huge stink about Twilight right now because she (L.J. Smith) also had another ongoing series during that time called Nightworld. In the second book of the series, a Vampire boy finds a human girl and falls in love with her, and he has a rival in a werewolf boy that also loves the girl. (Sound familiar, oh boy.) So there are cries of creative theft, etc etc etc.
The only reason I know any of this is because I was a teenager in the 90s, so I read all of her books. (And I still am reading them. She has continued with the Vampire Diaries series since she got the TV program)
As a note, I hate the TV show. Its so completely off-the-wall that it makes me sick.

Mike got another good puppy dog? Which episode was that plot point introduced? I feel so lost.

If there is ever another 24 hour podcast, Twilight should be the movie commentary.

Crank,
Dr Watson served the British Army in Afghanistan, the Sherlock Holmes story never reach WW I.
Yes, he was also the action guy, the one with service revolver.

@Paul I’m a convert for sure. I’m completely caught up at this point and my only nitpick is that I liked Gina Bellman a lot more than Jeri Ryan.
@Henrik you so should, it’s fun.
@Terri thanks for the schooling, I couldn’t make it past the 2nd or 3rd ep. I wanted to, but it was just too bad for me.
@Noel Yes, it’s another pug…the Fawn variety I guess? Mike rescued him from a bad home.
@Cameron I will probably take a nap during that one too.
@Dino I’m schooled again…for some reason I was fixated on WWI as being a response point for the Holmes stuff. Not sure why.
thanks for listening,
crank!
