SNAPSHOT Con Man follows the comic convention adventures of fandom-favorite (but pigeonholed and a bit washed up) Wray Nerely, played by Tudyk, and his best friend Jack Moore (Fillion), who of course went on to super stardom.

Falling Skies: “Find Your Warrior” (S5, E1 review)
Be warned aliens of the universe! (And those very annoyingly still on Earth; yes that means you Espheni, half-hearted Volm and whoever the hell you new guys are.) Tom Mason (Noah Wylie) is mad. Very, very mad. So mad in fact that at the encouraging hand of the mysterious new Continue Reading
