It Takes a Thief


It Takes a Thief is up on Hulu. Go, drink in the splendor of the glory days of TV, when shows could be summed up with one elegantcatchphrase ("I'm not asking to to spy, I'm just asking you to steal.") and characters didn't muck about with all this emo shit, but stuck to the job of driving the damn plot where we writers needed it to go. Tasty!

And if you spot some of these grifts popping up on Leverage, ummm -- homage. Yeah, that's it. Homage.

In the comments, any and all Mannix/Alexander Munday/Girl from UNCLE/Rockford fan fic.

"... a thing"

I would argue that as soon as your web-only musical about a supervillain is referenced on a group blog of University professors discussing Disraeli, you have, indeed, won the Internets.

Also, to continue the discussion raised by my staff Friday -- has Felicia Day now officially ascended from being one of the Geek Princesses to Queen of the Geeks?

Add your general chaos and reactions below.
