Will Felicity wind up in a dark place with Helix?

That was thrown into question on Arrow Season 5 Episode 12 when she went out of her way to help the team. 

TV Fanatics Steve Ford, Jim Garner and Paul Dailly discuss the Susan twist, Ragman losing his rags and Diggle's decision. 

What did you think of that Susan twist?

Steve: I always knew there was something up with Susan, but I could never quite put my finger on it. It's difficult to tell if she is developing feelings for him or if she is straight up playing him.

In any event, she could just end up being another victim of Prometheus, once again proving that anyone Oliver gets close to dies. Oliver really can't catch a break, can he?

Jim: Unlike Steve, I'm pretty damn sure she is just straight up playing him. I sad for Ollie because, yet again a...

Subject: Michael Biehn, 53-year old American actor (turned writer and director)

Date of Assessment: March 2, 2011

Positive Buzzwords: Intensity, ability to speak wordless volumes, James Cameron

Negative Buzzwords: Lack of star power, James Cameron

The Case: Upon initial contemplation of this week's subject, the first question that springs to mind is this: What the hell ever happened to Michael Biehn? Such an involuntary reaction is based upon an assumption that Biehn's a relatively lost visage of the 1980s; but anyone who's been paying attention would realize that Biehn's been (for the most part) working steadily as an actor even though his big-time blockbuster roles have long since ceased to exist. Naturally, he came from humble beginnings by steadily landing a lot of television work, including both regular series (even an "ABC Afternoon Special") and made-for-tv movies before moving into feature films. Upon arrival within the celluloid realm, Biehn initially appeared to...

Simon Pegg and Isla Fisher in Burke and Hare

Photo: Ealing Studios Ealing Studios has released the first official trailer for the upcoming John Landis-directed comedic thriller Burke and Hare starring Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis in a comedic take on the true story of the 1828 Edinburgh body-snatchers William Burke and William Hare.

The film co-stars Isla Fisher, Tom Wilkinson, Tim Curry, Christopher Lee, Hugh Bonneville and Stephen Merchant and serves as Landis's first feature film since 1998's Susan's Plan. However, considering we're talking about the director who helmed films such as An American Werewolf in London, The Blues Brothers, Trading Places and Coming To America, there is sure to be some excitement concerning his return to the bigscreen.

Burke and Hare is currently without a release date. Check out the trailer directly below.

For anyone who was a fan of Edgar Wright's delightful sitcom "Spaced," the thought of Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes (née Stevenson) together on screen again will have you sold on "Burke and Hare" before ever watching the trailer below. Pegg and Andy Serkis play the title characters, who were actual serial killers in Edinburgh in the 1800s who murdered people to sell their corpses to the medical school. This is the first scripted film from director John Landis since 1998's "Susan's Plan," and while I wouldn't say the trailer itself is terribly promising, the talent involved is -- Isla Fisher, Tim Curry, Christopher Lee and Stephen Merchant co-star.

"Burke and Hare" comes out in the UK on October 29th, but does not yet have a U.S. distributor.
