This Episode "Junk in the Trunk" Scene at the end only, below is for the next episode"
Record number: 12567

Title: Las Vegas
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Vanessa Marcil

Description: Episode: "Heroes" (4.17)

This episode of "Las Vegas", the conclusion of a two-part season finale, has one of the best bondage scenes in the history of television, ranking up there with the "Lost Women" episode of "Vega$". Vanessa Marcil, the gorgeous petite brunette, spends amlost the entire episode bound and gagged. She has been kidnapped by a deranged rich man, incapacitated by a sedative in her drink and bound and gagged in a trunk.

To begin with, the scenes in which Ms. Marcil is bound and gagged in the trunk are lit just perfectly by a skilled lighting technician. Despite the crepuscular conditions, visibility is more than adequate, and Ms. Marcil's gag, the strip of duct tape, is perfectly visible. We owe a debt of gratitude to the lighting technician for the series; the man or woman really knows his or her job, and our enjoyment of the episode was enhanced because of this.

Secondly, the keyhole in the trunk is used to great effect; Ms. Marcil peers out of it frequently to see who or what was outside, and the light through the keyhole illuminates her gagged mouth very seductively. Potential rescuers are frequently just outside the trunk, but she is unable to alert them to her predicament, since she is gagged. The scene near the end of the episode when she sees her friend and potential rescuer, the security guy, walking just a few feet away, and attempts to alert him by screaming ineffectually through her gag, is priceless. The dastardly villain has done too good a job of gagging her; she can only manage some barely audible whimpers.

Her energetic struggling and attempts to make noises through her gag are especially enjoyable. She manages to unlock the trunk through energetic jostling, and wriggles out. The manner in which she's bound is original; her hands are tied in front of her with duct tape, but her wrists and forearms are secured to her thighs; this resembles a form of hogtie. I've never seen any actress bound in this manner.

Ms. Marcil manages to remove her gag by rubbing it against the coarse carpeting, make her way over to a telephone, knock it down to the floor, and attempt to make a call, only to have the villain walk in at that precise, inopportune moment. He rushes over to her, ends the call, and then engages in snappy repartee with Ms. Marcil; some of the dialogue is the obligatory admonition "You'll never get away with it."

Housekeeping then knocks on the door; the villain immediately applies a forceful handgag, and tells the dedicated housekeeping staff to return later. Ms. Marcil proceeds to scream as loudly as she can through the hand clamped over her mouth. The villain then gags Ms. Marcil with another strip of duct tape over her mouth.

Ms. Marcil spends nearly the entire episode bound and gagged; this has to be one of the best scenes featuring a bound and gagged actress in the history of television. One advantage for Ms. Marcil is that she certainly didn't have much dialogue to memorize for this episode; most of her lines are, "Mmmmph! Mmmmmph!".

Editor note: Some posters state there are some additional scenes in "Junk in the Trunk" (4.16) and "A Hero Ain't Nothing But a Sandwich" (5.1)

Lone Ranger
Day: Monday December 07 2009
Time: 5pm est
Channel: World Harvest
Mon 12/7 5:00-5:30pm 367 WHMBSAT

Record number: 7727

Title: The Lone Ranger
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Sheila Ryan

Description: Episode: "Pete and Pedro" (1.7)

About 17 minutes into the episode, owlhoots led by Fred Graham get the drop on Ellen Carter (Ryan), the Lone Ranger, Tonto and Co., leaving them tied up in a barn which they bad guys then set ablaze. After much struggling, good ol' LR slices Tonto's bonds with a piece of glass and they untie their friends and make their escape.

As per usual in the Lone Ranger series, the five male characters are bound hand and foot with plenty of rope while Ms. Carter's appears to have only her wrists tied behind her back. After the Lone Ranger unties her, we do see rope still attached to one of her wrists.

Scene lasts about three minutes with several close-ups of the heroine looking very apprehensive as the smoke billows under the doors and the flames climb the sides of the barn.

Beth Dover bound and gagged.
Tammy Minoff bound.
Jenna Gavigan bound.
Record number: 13081

Title: Criminal Minds
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Beth Dover , Tammy Minoff, Jenna Gavigan

Description: Episode: "Identity" (3.7)

Just before the opening credits, we see a bound and gagged Angela Miller (Dover) is crying and pounding against the walls, trying to escape. She has her hands bound in front and is sporting a cleave gag. Scene occurs before the opening credits and is very dimly lit since she is in a box.

About half way through, the FBI watch a reconstructed tape of an woman (Minoff). Video is very poor but you can just make out a woman on her side with her hands behind her. The killer is behind her showing the cameraman (accomplise) how to make a perfect knot.

In the last 10 mins, the accomplise ties up his victim just as he was taught. The victim, Becky (Gavigan), has her hands bound behind her with a rope connecting her neck, hands and feet. The tie closely matches a hogtie. She is never gagged.. She is the only one that the FBI saves.

Amores
Day: Monday December 07 2009
Time: 9:00 a.m. Central
Channel: Telemundo
According to my TV listings, Amores is going to be ending this week, replaced next week with Corazon Partido. Amores has a couple good multiple-damsel bondage scenes in its last week: one sequence with four women and cleave-gags, another with a pair of women and tape-gags. I think the action will start in Tuesday's episode, but you might want to tape Monday just to be safe. Amores is airing 90-minute episodes starting at 9:00 a.m. Central time on Telemundo.
