The Listener 308 “Crossed”

The cast of The Listener

Welcome back everyone. It’s great to be back.

I want to apologize for the big delay in writing about this episode.  And I’m fully aware that I have one more to do before tonight’s new episode, but things have been very hectic for me lately.  I’m hoping to be all caught up in the next couple days.  I will have my thoughts written on last weeks episode hopefully by tomorrow night.  Again, I’m sorry for being late with this one.  So let’s get started.

Well within the first five minutes we have a murder. A very well known woman who’s worth millions. Motif??? We will see, but money does bring out the worse in people.  What impressed me though was the fact that when Michelle and Toby went to questions the husband, he said that he was here in Newfoundland.  That he just flew back that day.  But that he actually pronounced Newfoundland properly.  A lot of the times, people will say it as they see it. New Foundland is one.  That drives me nuts.  So the fact that both the husband AND Dev could say it right, made me smile.  Bless yer cotton socks, 🙂

Now toss in a new person into the mix.  One that intrigues Toby, and you have a recipe for mystery.  This episodes introduces a new character.  One that has Toby fascinated by.  Not to the point that she’s always popping up in places where everything was hush hush, but that he can’t read her thoughts.  Which makes me wonder.  Is she like him and can sense who he is?  Or she knows that he has a gift and found a way to block him.  Either way, this seems to pose as a new arc for the show.  Maybe a new love interest.  We’ll have to see.

One of the things that impressed me the most, and I was slightly shocked when I heard it too.  Was when Michelle and Toby went to interview the husband and he had told them that he had business in Newfoundland, and that he just got back from there.  Well he actually pronounced Newfoundland right.  I was like,,, “wow, he said it right.”  And not just once, but he said it again.  Then Dev had it in his line a little after that.  Though, I do have to wonder if they practiced saying it or were they lucky.  LOL.

Then we have Oz saving the life of a big time TSN broadcaster.  I’m not into football, but get on the topic of hockey and I can curse with the best of them.  Though, I may not know the player’s names, but I do get all roiled up when I do watch a game.

This meeting prompted Glen to offer two tickets to the game.  From which Oz was so excited to get them, but knew he couldn’t accept a gift for doing his job.  In the end, they came up with a way he could accept, but through a third party – Toby.

It was later that day when Oz met up with Toby at their usual hangout that he handed Toby a gift wrapped box.  Toby opened it and was so excited to see what it was.  Though, Toby being Toby, he couldn’t pass up a chance to freak out Oz.  It was at the same moment when Tia joined the boys.  Leaving Toby to say that he would like to take Tia.  Though he didn’t come out and say, he motioned his head towards Tia.  The look on Oz’s face was priceless.  Letting Oz look so disappointed, that’s when Toby told Oz that of course he’d love to take his best friend.  The look of relief was funny.  Poor Oz was sweating.  LOL.

I love this pairing.  Oz and Sandy make a great couple.  I hope it gets stronger for season four.  When Sandy went to Africa during the beginning of the season, first I thought, oh oh.  But when she came back I was so happy.  I know that with Sandy already having a failed marriage, she’s going to be cautious who she gets close to.  But Oz is the perfect match for her.  Plus, she helped tame him down too.  Which was very nice to see.  Go Team Sandy & Oz!!!

Olivia (Mylène Dinh-Robic) learns that Toby’s (Craig Olejnik) gift is not working.

It’s too bad these two didn’t work out.  But I’m glad that they were able to remain friends when their relationship went south.  Toby and Olivia were so cute together.  In this part, Toby went to Liv and told her that there much be something wrong.  He came across someone that he can’t read.  When Toby told her it was a woman reporter, Olivia kinda smiled.  But to ease Toby’s mind, she set him up for a small assessment.  But everything worked fine.  Toby was able to read every thought Liv put out.  After Olivia gave Toby a good bill of health, he went on his merry ole way.

Again, sorry for the very late posting of this episode.  I hope you can bare with me as I try to catch up.

One Rockin’ Scifi convention EVER!!!!

When someone asks me what is my favorite part of this convention, I always find it hard to answer. There’s just so much going on that it’s hard to just point out one thing. I guess what I like the most is the fact that there’s so many diversities to accommodate to everyone. Weather it’s the actors that lure you in, or the gaming, or the artists. There’s everything for everybody.

Here’s some pictures I was able to get on the last day of the convention, Sunday, April 22nd.Timemasters at Scifi on the Rock 6Timemasters at Scifi on the Rock 6

This is one of my favorites this year. They had the most awesome things made out of chainmaille and all done by hand too. She’s awesome.Handmade Chainmaille, Jewellery, Art and MoreSilver Haunt - Handmade Chainmaille, Jewelery, Art and More

Then we have the Artist Alley.  This is where most of the artist, authors and everyone in between were located.  It was downstairs of the Holiday Inn.Artist Room

AbbyShot was also there again this year with awesome convention deals.  This is where I got my Martha jacket from the Doctor Who series.  And I love the jacket  too.  I’ve made a suggestion about some Sanctuary jackets, especially the kids worn by Ms. Amanda Tapping as Helen Magnus.  But for them to produce them, they need a big enough request for it.  So if you all want to wear clothes like Dr. Magnus, then go here and put in your suggestions.

Next year, the Convention is happening on April 26th – 28th.  Planning for this one is underway now and it’s going to be awesome.  Though, I’m not really sure how we can top this one, but we seem to pull it off every year.  I think we brought in about 2000 people this time.  Though, don’t quote me just yet.

I didn’t get to do as much in past years as I was seeing to the needs of one of our guests this year, Mr. Peter Roy.  He was fun to chat with.  And I did get to take him out of the hotel for a bit of sightseeing.  I hope he returns for another visit.
