You mean the evil Wesley Crusher character that Wheaton turned out to be? That could be fun. I think the need to write around the brunette's leaving the show mostly kind of threw the season. You could tell they kind of plugged Jeri Ryan into the role, and had to change a bit of the team dynamic to accommodate her character. The shows were a bit more pedestrian, focused more on smaller hustles. I'm glad Sofie will be back when the season picks back up again.
Speaking of Jeri Ryan in the role, I wonder who gets more constant guest-star, limited series, and regular series work on TV nowadays: Ryan, Tricia Helfer, or Moon Bloodgood?Those women show up *everywhere*, from "Burn Notice" to "Warehouse 13", "Shark" to "Leverage". The queen of roles though is probably still my girl Michele Forbes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "B Smith" <daikaij...@yahoo.com> To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2010 6:17:11 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [scifinoir2] Re: "Leverage" Season Finale I saw it and liked it quite a bit. This season was fun but not as fresh as last year. I think they need to shake things up a little more in the next season. i'd love to see the mirror Leverage team again or a similar team headed by Wil Wheaton's character. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com , Martin Baxter <truthseeker...@...> wrote: > > > Missed it entirely, Keith.
