Not Comics: It’s Donnelly Rhodes’ World…

... and we all just get to watch him act in it. The secret through-line connecting Soap to Battlestar Galactica offers up one of a half-dozen fun performances to watch on Da Vinci's Inquest, the little-seen (in the US) crime and politics television show from Chris Haddock now starting to show up on Hulu.com. It would have been my dad's favorite TV show and Rhodes' Leo Shannon would have been his favorite character. If you're a crime comics writer looking for a new source of material to ape, you could do far worse. Plus, you can stare at the gorgeous Vancouver, B.C. exteriors the way I used to stare at Cynthia Gibb on Fame. Trust me: the people on Da Vinci's Inquest shut doors and sit down when they walk into rooms like no ensemble before them.
