SciFi TV Rewatch

Take Five #12 When is Dead, Dead?

I've often thought that the mark of a top-notch writing team and showrunner is that they possess the courage to kill off a major character when the storyline calls for it.

Episode 64 Birds of Prey S01E01

We take a look at the comic book inspired WB Network show Birds of Prey that ran during the 2002-2003 fall season. Starring 16 year old Rachel Skarsten, Dina Meyer, and Ashley Scott, the show follows the exploits of three young women fighting crime in New Gotham City after Batman abandoned it. Like Lost Girl, the pilot gives an indication that the show will also be about the search for identity and search for self-worth of the three main characters who've bonded to help make their city a better place.
