Witchblade Pt1

Witchblade was a series that ran on the TNT cable channel--anybody remember TNT?. It was based on a comic book series of the same name--anybody recall the comic? I remember seeing it in stores, but never bought a copy.

It's about a woman cop who has the forces of the supernatural on her side while she fights crime.

But the crime she faces can get pretty weird. Take the first season episode "Conundrum," for example. actress Malin Akerman plays a fashion model who finds herself chained up with her feet in a bucket.

And it turns out to be a big bucket 'o' snake! Even worse, the snake decides it wants to hug Malin...slowly. The scaly monster!

But have no fear, for Malin is rescued by the heroine (while she's in another room, which is pretty impressive). Once the snake leaves, we can finally see that Malin was barefoot the whole time. This is the very same Malin Akerman who would later star in Zack Snyder's Watchmen, as Laurie Jupiter/Silk Spectre II.
