A blog is long overdue.

This is Leverage, a semi-new series on TNT. It's currently on its second season.

This show is quite enjoyable if you don't ask too many technical questions about how things work. So suspend disbelief and relax for about 42 minutes. Take it for what it is--a feel good dramedy for the have-not's.

Don't you wish you could take down your @#$%* of a boss or that @#$%* who cheated you out of an inheritance? Well, if that's the case, then this is the show for you.

The Crew (from left to right):

In loving memories of Derek Reese.

Beloved brother of Kyle, beloved uncle of John.

Single gunshot wound to the head.

You've been through so much and there's still so much to do.

The journey will continue on without you.

But you are missed by many, Derek.

In all seriousness, I can't believe they actually killed off Derek... like that. That's just ridiculous. Of all the people that should have died last night, it should have been Savannah or some other minor characters. But not Derek. He has so much potential and his story is not over yet. The story arcs have since improved a lot with Derek's appearance. I never thought they'd be stupid enough to get rid of a main character... like that.

Derek didn't even get a chance to fight or defend himself. He rounded a corner in Weaver's house and ran into the new terminator. And before he could draw his gun, he was shot point blanc in the forehead. Effing ridiculous. A character of Derek's caliber should have gone out in a blaze of glory, with buildings and cars exploding in the background all the while trying to save John. That's how it should have gone down.

I've never been so effing pissed off at a show before, so this is a first for me.

Find songs that have been played on Life (NBC). This isn't a complete list, but it is very thorough and it's growing.
