(S02E12) There were too many story lines in this episode, too many threads pulled from the fabric. It felt like they were setting up the show for the end of the season and building suspense. For that reason, it felt very disjointed to me.Claudia Joy's parents, Randall and Charlotte -- nicely played by Len Cariou and Marsha Mason -- have settled in the Holden's house as they deal with their marital/financial issues. The kind of money problems most families are facing in this country right now are not like this, so it's hard to relate. It's also hard to buy that his gambling has never impacted on Claudia's life before. Her hero worship has blinded her to his flaws, but how can you keep money troubles that secret?
Lena Headey may just fulfill
all your superhero fantasies if her pilot makes it onto the CBS schedule next fall. Headey is currently on the big
screen in Imagine Me and You and was in The Brothers Grimm last year. For CBS, she'll play a single
girl-in-the-city who also happens to be a superhero. Just looking at her, I'd buy that she has super powers. She has a
tough-but-gorgeous look about her. Maybe it's just the tattoos. Anyway, the series is called Ultra. It's
created by Barbara Hall, who has creating and developing credits for Joan of Arcadia and Judging Amy.
