The butcher of Kiev is a character actor I first loved on Highlander.

Without scrolling up thread, thanks for the heads up from whoever warned about the the Wicca rubbish on the Mentalist. That's not my tribe but patooey. Bad writers, no biscuit.

The head "wiccan" on The Mentalist -- I know I saw her before, and I think it was on Buffy.... was she the girl from season 7 who was convinced she was going to die, and even though Buffy (during her stint as a high school counselor) did her best to save her from flying arrows and stupid teenage demon cults, she keeled over anyway? And yeah, I was amazed at how badly that was written. (The Mentalist, that is, not Buffy.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Yep. Azura Skye.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

the FBI agents that show up at the end of The Bank Job are the same ones doing surveillance in this week's episode.

One of 'em's Rick Overton. I almost didn't recognize him.

Ha! Doing a Leverage rewatch it turns out that the FBI agents that show up at the end of The Bank Job are the same ones doing surveillance in this week's episode.

yeah, I noticed that. I think that it could be a fun recurring thing, with the Leverage team pretending to be various FBI agents.

I knew she was familiar! I kept thinking, "Julie Bell? No, too young."

The kneejerk "This is ridiculous" reaction from the cops was annoying--but at least the one guy "It's just an alternative lifestyle" was less annoying--but I've seen worse portrayals. And the witch was shown as a positive, if odd, force in the kids' lives.

That's true. The "it's the only place I feel safe" aspect was positive. But I chafe at the perpetuation of those horrible stereotypes for comic effect.
