Description: Julie Plummer(Faith Ford) has her hands tied behind her back with black rope. She is taken from the room where her kids are to an underground vault. She isn't gaggged and her legs aren't tied but there are a few decent midrange shots of her bound hands. She wears a tailored jacket with slacks.

Zoe (Brittany Snow) and Lulu (Morgan York) are bound back to back and over the mouth gagged with black cloths. Their hands are tied behind them and their ankles are tied with black rope. Guy alert.

Zoe wears a miniskirt and flat pumps. It’s a fairly quick scene but there are a few really good shots of her emoting with her gagged face and her tied ankles are seen a few times. There is one close up of her tied hands as she frees them.

The scenes occur from approximately 1:15 to 1:22.

The tone is lighthearted but thrilling. A++ IMHO

Channel: Sci-Fi Channel
Title: Dark Angel
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Lisa Ann Cabasa

Description: Episode: "Hit a Sista Back" (1.20)

Tinga (Cabasa), an X5, goes on the run when her well-meaning husband pastes signs up around the place seeking information about his missing wife. Big mistake! Lydecker is on the trail and uses the poster information to find Tinga's little boy. He infects the child with a virus that will kill him in a matter of hours and uses the child's imminent death as a means of forcing Tinga to surrender. He has an antidote and will only hand it over when Tinga gives herself up. Reluctantly Tinga gives in to the goons but other forces, working independently to Lydecker, snatch Tinga away from his grasp. Later we see the woman hanging spreadeagled and (sort-of) nude (well, it is an American show, can't expect too much guys!) hanging in a tank of liquid/water, with tubes attached to her body. Good scene as the camera moves back and away from the tank. Later, when Max arrives on the scene we see Tinga again. An enraged Max smashes the tank and sits nursing her sister's body as Lydecker and the bully boys arrive on the scene. Max is in deep trouble!

AMIGAS Y RIVALES
Day: Thursday February 28 2008
Time: 7 AM EST
Channel: TELEFUTURA
The last time this popular telenovela ran I came in on the middle of a scene of a young school girl dressed in the typical schoolgirl outfit (skirt,jacket,white shirt, knee socks and loafers)was being held a prisoner by some people to force a family member to do something. She was gagged with what looked like a shawl around her mouth like a mask and held in place by some duct tape across the mouth. When I saw that the telenovela was being rerun again I've been on the lookout for when the scene begins so I can catch the whole thing. It started to kick in on Monday when the girl was being taken unconscious to the place where she was being held. Distracted by the GH scene I forgot to post an alert for yesterday, but since nothing happened it's all good.
One caveat about this scene, even from the point I caught it last time it took something like two weeks for the whole thing to play out and she managed to escape. Some days there was only a scene at most, at other times there was only one scene a week. So from this point the scene could take weeks to run it's course. The damsel is not a major character so she sometimes becomes forgotten.
