No. Very often, if I didn't catch them the first time around, I waited up for the re-airing a couple of hours later. If I missed that, then I had to wait until the ep cycled back around.

Did anyone see the commercial for Warehouse 13's next episode? Joe Martin guest stars on it.

Morton's one of those actors with a face and bearing you just trust and respect. He can play a likeable guy, a strong leader, a tortured and confused soul. I have followed him for years, whether it's been great turns in John Sayles flicks--and it's saying a lot that Morton is a fav of Sayles'--having the lead in the shortlived TV series Under One Roof, playing a memorable role as a former boxer turned transvestite on New York Undercover, or even his guest stint as Whitley's love interest on A Different World. Even his bit in Terminator 2 is memorable. The anguish he feels at what his work has caused for the future is palpable, and I hated to see the character die. It's a crime that Morton hasn't gotten the major roles and respect he deserves. He's done a lot of stuff, but never got to that A-list on TV or film. And while I'm really happy to see him get steady work on Eureka, and like the steadiness his character brings to that world, I keep hoping to see him get some meatier roles. That's especially true as long as the showrunners seem hesitant to give him a real life. Like I said, he's mayor now, but that angle's not explored, and I really dislike them killing off Kim--twice. And for those of you young 'un's who don't understand my praise of Morton, do yourself a favor and look up his great performances in the movie City of Hope (a John Sayles joint), the shortlived but well done TV series Tribeca (which co-starred Carl Lumbly and Lawrence Fishburne), and especially, the classic Sayles' film The Brother From Another Planet.
