Burn Notice Recap: “Breaking and Entering”
When Mike gets out of the lorry, he finds himself in the middle of a war zone. That bird Carla – the one who works for the wankers who burned him – gives him a job: make this poor sap Jimmy do what they want. Take him back to Miami and help him steal data…

Middleman Recap: “The Manicoid Teleportation Conundrum”
It’s pop quiz day for Middle-trainee Wendy Watson, and it starts with an emergency call to meet at the Rendevous Point. Five minutes distracted by Lacey and 15 to travel and Dubby made it to the Rendevous Point Diner out by Lyon Estates. She didn’t even need a Delorean to do it.

Charlie Jade Recap: “And Not a Drop to Drink”
That wasn’t a slow one at all, was it? This is usually the point where those of us who are fans of this fantastic show can stop promising it’ll all be worth it if you just hang on a little longer. This is the point where the newbies become converts and start proselytizing right alongside…

Middleman Review: “The Sino-Mexican Revelation”
Wendy won’t get paid until she finishes her training and Lacey’s a confrontational spoken word performance artist whose last show had an audience of two. One of whom was Wendy’s mom. Things are rough in the illegal sublet Wendy shares with another young, photogenic artist. That’s why Lacey is starting a job at the Booty…

Charlie Jade recap: “The Power of Suggestion”
Things are still moving a little slowly this week, and we have to make do with no narrator this week, but by episode’s end quite a lot will have happened. Watch closely.

Middleman Review: “The Accidental Occidental Conception”
Wendy Watson sure does have a lot of emo in this episode, too. It opens with our heroic sidekick bailing Lacey out of jail. Wendy makes smalltalk with the desk sergeant – as two battlers on the side of law and justice – while Lacey is brought out. She’d exposed herself in a sushi restaurant…

Charlie Jade recap: “You Are Here”
(this recap was posted on Tuesday morning at 4 A.M. EST, just so it appears RIGHT after the show originally aired at 3 AM. Nice job, Sci Fi Channel!) After what was effectively a two-hour pilot to set up the universe, it’s time to get down to business and let poor Charlie Jade have a…

Charlie Jade Rescheduled: The Future of Science Fiction Television
Yesterday morning we heard that The Sci Fi Channel is moving Charlie Jade to a new day and time. Starting next week, it’ll be taking over the coveted Monday 3am slot. I can’t be too upset by this. Clearly the show was underperforming on Friday nights and the programming wizards at SciFi needed to move…

Middleman review: “The Pilot Episode Sanction”
Over the past decade or so, cable networks have been slowly figuring out that as long as the broadcast networks are going to cling to the outmoded Fall-to-Spring television schedule, they should counter program with new scripted shows in the summer. Several of the cable channels have realized that a different type of program is…

Charlie Jade recap: “Sand”
Two episodes in, and there’s still not much going on. The action will pick up in the next few episodes, but there were still too many questions left over from the pilot. Most remain unanswered – and we’ve gotten some more in the process – but I think the writers have given us just about…
