I checked out her IMDb profile, and it seems that she is a natural blonde. The Black Canary is actually a brunette who wears a blonde wig. I wonder whether she will be a brunette for this series, or will the producers simply have both the Canary and her alter ego be blonde? |

| Last night's episode of Fringe ended with Anna Torv and Blair Brown facing each other, both tied to chairs. Previews for next week hint that Anna will be undergoing some rough treatment while the rest of the team searches for them. |

I wonder what her Black Canary costume will be like? Will she wear the traditional leotard and fishnet stockings, an athletic leotard, or a more modest costume? More importantly, how often will she be in bondage? How many times will she be bound and gagged for the duration of the series? In the pages of DC Comics, she was bound and gagged fairly often, since this was the most effective method of neutralizing her power, the Canary cry. Will the producers of the series emulate the example of the writers of DC Comics and have her bound and gagged every two or three episodes? |

Seriously, who knows? All good questions. I think it's unlikely that in these modern times we'll get the fishnets and it's extremely unlikely we'll get that sort of bondage regularity. That's just not how American TV works in 2012. The big question is whether they treat her superpower as something that can be neutralized with a basic cloth/tape gag, or whether it can only be neutralized with some strong piece of metal or device. I'd hope for the former, but in these times of more realistic heroes, they might well go with the latter. |

| >realistic heroes, they might well go with the latter. Costume, I think if she has one at all, will likely not be the "classic" one if only because superhero films and TV shows almost never feature exact translations of the costumes. And for good reason. Gagging is a lot more complex. I can't see them ALWAYS going for a bar/piece of metal/technology thing because at a certain point it'd be ridiculous for every foe to have a special restraint for her. BUT in this day and age there's also not a chance in hell she'll be getting tied up and tape-gagged every episode either because people would catch on very quickly. It depends on how often she'd be in peril at all, or if she even has superpowers in this show. |

I just meant there's a lot less likelihood of seeing her gagged on a regular basis for that very reason. If a cloth or tape gag is enough to negate her sonic scream, as with Zatanna using magic words, the likelihood of at least an occasional scene goes up a whole lot. If they need technology, it goes way down. Plus some devices might not be really gag-related, like putting her in a special box, or a collar that restrains her vocal chords, something like that. And you're right, they might not go with the sonic scream idea at all. Ultimnately, it's a crapshoot. Let's just hope for the best. |

A good chance an effective looking gag will crop up at some point, with different methods of keeping her quiet in other episodes to mix it up a little. |

| My DirecTV service is no longer carrying the channel CLOO as part of its basic package. I was not able to record the GET SMART scenes this morning because of this. Is this the case with anybody else? |

| Title: Late Night With David Letterman Medium: TV Series Actress: Unknown Description: Episode: Unknown Some screwy things are happening in the show so Dave goes to investigate. The whole control room has been taken over by a guest star. All the operators are bound and gagged. Guy alert. It sounds interesting and I love the whole "Taken over" scenario. Is this legit? Anyone remember seeing this? |

Your speculations sound very plausible. I think that the costume will be a variant of the leotard the Canary wears. The entertainment industry has the best costume designers in the world, and they will design a sexy costume specifically for the contours of Katie Cassidy's physique. I wonder whether they will consult with her about the costume, and find out what she is willing or unwilling to wear? Didn't the Black Canary character who appeared on Smallville wear some sort of leotard? Yes, I think she will be gagged at least once, more likely two or three times during the series. The producers can't have her bound and gagged every two or three episodes, but they will have her gagged a few times at the very least. I'm sure that Katie Cassidy had to read some Black Canary comics in order to familiarize herself with the character she will play, and that she certainly noted the frequency with which the Black Canary is bound and gagged. I wonder whether she brought this to the attention of her agent or the producers? |

I recall one instance when she was able to remove her gag with her sonic scream; it was in a short story where she is captured by a trio of idiot brothers. I don't recall her being able to remove her gag with her sonic scream in any other instance. The villain Hellgrammite had her gagged with some adhesive substance wrapped completely around her mouth, and the Penguin once gagged her with a cloth. She was able to remove the former gag with her sonic scream and the latter she worked free. This begs the question, how come she doesn't use her sonic scream to remove her gags more often? |

Dude, chill. It doesn't matter how a variety of comic book writers over the past three decades interpreted her powers. All that matters is how American TV writers and producers interpret her powers, and her character in general, in 2012. Enjoy the comics all you want; I certainly did. But that has nothing to do with what we're going to see on TV. Wonder Woman got tied up in damn near every comic in the '40s... because her creator was into bondage. That isn't going to happen in 2012. Times change. |

| > whether she brought this to the attention of her agent >or the producers? I doubt it came up. I know it's good fodder for the bondage message boards but I mean realistically I doubt it was discussed. Especially when Canary is rarely gagged in the comics anymore. |
