I--you guys.

Leverage. I CANNOT DECIDE if it will be merely awful, horribly awful, or actually GOOD. I'm, oddly, hoping for good, because I LIKE Timothy Hutton (OH ARCHIE), but I don't trust the TV market of today to produce something slick and good without ruining it first.

Timothy Hutton, Christian Kane (who looks awful, oh god, ew), Gina Bellman (OMG), and two people I don't know (although Parker gives good eye-roll, there). This cast is awesome-looking, and possibly adorable. And Parker might be Ziva's long-lost American twin or a blonde Domino and Jane is now a con artist (AHAHAHAH). And Timothy Hutton is an INSURANCE DUDE, YOU GUYS. This is like Dark Justice meets Mission Impossible.

Yeah, it's gonna suck. OH WELL.

eta: Leverage is a new TNT show on Sunday night at 10/9central. You can see more (and some really silly cast photos, keep an eye out for their Serious Torchwood Alley shot, minus the black coats) here: http://www.tnt.tv/series/leverage/display/?contentId=39809

damn

*watches Tin Man*

I should not be finding Zero hot. *blush*

Leverage 1.01: The Nigerian Job

I--that was possibly the most fun I've had watching TV in a while.

A funny thing happened on the way to Avengers Mansion....

So, I got a link from Amazon about a new sale they've got (one that is so TOTALLY DIFFERENT from the last three thousand they've had). And I poke at the forty or so crappy movies/tv shows....

And there's one that jumps out at me, The Next Avengers...

Curious, and dreading, I clicked through to discover this description:

But all was not lost for Tony Stark (Iron Man) kept the children of the Avengers safe and raised them to become the teenage heroes of tomorrow. Now James (Son of Captain America and Black Widow), Torunn (Daughter of Thor), Azari (Son of the Black Panther), and Pym (Son of Wasp and Giant Man) must finish the fight their parents started. Soon the arrow-slinging son of Hawkeye will join their ranks but it will take more than five teens to destroy the machine that defeated their parents.

That's right, folks, a man who should never be in charge of children is raising them. And their parents are dead. And Natasha and Steve are all wtfno

The Earth is so fucked.
