Sasha Bordeaux

Sasha Bordeaux is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was at first primarily associated with superhero Batman, and she has subsequently evolved an association with Checkmate in two of its incarnations. Sasha Bordeaux was created by Greg Rucka and Shawn Martinbrough, and first appeared in Detective Comics #751 (December 2000).

Bordeaux is set to appear in the second season of Peacemaker, played by Sol Rodríguez.

Bodyguard and superhero
Sasha Bordeaux first appears as a young martial artist who is hired as Bruce Wayne's bodyguard by WayneCorp's second-in-command, Lucius Fox, albeit against Wayne's wishes. Wayne at first tries to avoid her, but she keeps on doing her job.

She eventually becomes suspicious of his constant late-night disappearances, does some searching, and is shocked to find that Bruce Wayne is secretly Batman. Since she already knows his secret identity, Batman begins training her to become his apprentice. After weeks of hard work, she becomes fit enough to go out with him on patrol in a suit, though he still treats her as a total stranger both as Batman and as Bruce Wayne. During this time, she falls in love with him, even though he is dating other women.

Framed
One night while Batman and Bordeaux are out on patrol, the assassin David Cain lures Wayne's ex-girlfriend Vesper Fairchild to Wayne Manor and kills her, framing Wayne in the process. Both Wayne and Bordeaux are charged with murder, and Sasha refuses to exonerate herself by giving up Wayne's secret despite the fact that they were patrolling separate areas at the time of the murder and therefore even she cannot be sure of Bruce's innocence. They are both arraigned and held without bail while awaiting trial. After a while, Batman escapes to leave his alter ego behind, leaving Bordeaux inside Blackgate prison. Although Sasha is briefly offered her freedom if she testifies against Bruce Wayne - even contemplating taking the deal after Bruce abandones her - a meeting with Alfred Pennyworth leaves her resolved to reject the offer. Alfred helps her realize that Bruce truly valued her work, rather than using her without any thought for herself, as otherwise he would never have allowed her to accompany him as Batman. Batman eventually confronts those who framed him, and Wayne and Sasha are cleared of all charges.

Checkmate
While in prison custody, Sasha is severely wounded by another prisoner and would have died had the government agency Checkmate not given her medical treatment. They fake her death and offer to give her a new name and identity (complete with plastic surgery) if she works for them. With no other options, she agrees.

Batman tirelessly searches for Sasha, not believing she died in prison. To facilitate this, he disrupts all of Checkmate's operations in Gotham City. The group eventually organizes a meeting between the two, where Wayne confesses his love for her. Sasha, though feeling the same way, realizes that her new life would prevent them from being together and tells him to let her go.

Over time, Bordeaux rises through the ranks of Checkmate and becomes right hand to Maxwell Lord, the group's leader. Lord later hijacks the Brother I satellite that Batman created to monitor all superhuman activity. Brother I itself recently became sentient due to the actions of Alexander Luthor, Jr. as a part of his plans for the Infinite Crisis. He also creates an army of cyborgs known as OMACs (humans transformed by a virus) programmed to hunt and kill all superhumans and/or specific targets. During his rule, Lord kills all who oppose him, assisted by Brother I who monitors for rebellion. Sasha feigns loyalty to stay alive, but breaks the pretense when Lord kills his former ally Blue Beetle (Ted Kord) and orders Sasha to dispose of his corpse. Filled with hatred for herself and Lord, she sends Kord's trademark goggles to Batman as part of a message detailing Lord's madness.

After revealing Sasha's betrayal, Brother I sends out an OMAC squad, who finds Sasha and Batman in an abandoned warehouse just after they share a kiss. The OMACs' goal of killing Batman and taking Sasha only partly succeeds, as Batman escapes. Realizing he cannot get any information out of Sasha, Lord imprisons her and brainwashes Superman in an attempt to kill Batman. To stop this, Wonder Woman snaps Lord's neck, killing him instantly.

Cyborg
With the help of another imprisoned agent, Jessica Midnight (who attempted to assassinate Lord earlier), Bordeaux escapes and sets out to kill Lord, unaware he is already dead. As they are on their way out, an OMAC attacks the two and impales Bordeaux. This attack somehow activates her latent inner programming, turning her into an OMAC cyborg. She retains most of her human features, although her skin now resembles a metallic coating and one of her eye sockets is empty. She also retains her free will; unlike the other OMACs, she is not under Brother I's control.

With Lord's death, Brother I rechristens itself "Brother Eye" and activates all the remaining OMACs to kill Earth's superhumans. Bordeaux contacts the other various factions of Checkmate who left after Lord's takeover, apologizing for Lord and asking them to rejoin.

She then creates a computer virus and hooks herself up to the Brother Eye satellite. The virus, along with a massive electromagnetic pulse blast created by the various superheroes, disables the majority of the OMACs. Brother I escapes with 200,000 OMACS.

She later reunites with Batman. After she tells him she is now a machine, he comforts her.

Infinite Crisis
Eventually, with the aid of the new Blue Beetle, Batman locates Brother Eye. He then gathers a team of heroes, including Bordeaux, to attempt to destroy it (Infinite Crisis #5 and #6). The attack sends Brother Eye crashing to Earth, but the satellite's central memory remains intact. With the various superheroes needed elsewhere, Batman tasks Bordeaux with destroying Brother Eye once and for all. Sasha resists the machine's brainwashing long enough to blow it up. She survives the blast, albeit at the cost of the majority of her OMAC shell.

One year later
One year after Infinite Crisis, Bordeaux becomes the "Black Queen" of the Checkmate organization. Her consequentialist attitude towards the success of Checkmate missions puts her into conflict with Alan Scott. She is also in conflict with several of her Checkmate colleagues, particularly Fire and Mister Terrific, with whom she is romantically involved. In a 2007 story arc involving The Outsiders, Bordeaux suffers extreme torture at the hands of Chang Tzu who wishes to learn more about her cybernetic implants. After barely surviving this encounter, it takes her some time to regain her confidence, especially when the healing process results in even more of her body becoming cybernetic.

In Manhunter (vol. 3) #27 (January 2007), Sasha intervenes in the trial of Wonder Woman (for murdering Maxwell Lord) by secretly delivering exonerating evidence to Wonder Woman's lawyer, Kate Spencer.

Final Crisis
During the events of "Final Crisis", Sasha forms a small resistance team that includes Snapper Carr, her current romantic interest Mister Terrific, an artificial intelligence, and later the villain Cheetah. They cause much damage against the conquering forces of Darkseid, mainly utilizing Snapper's teleportation power. When Sasha is infected by the Anti-Life Formula, the OMAC nanites in her body put her in a coma to prevent the spread of the infection. After Snapper's powers are neutralized, Mister Terrific realizes they have to re-activate all the OMACS that are left. The only way to do this is to revive Sasha and retrieve the OMAC codes from her nanites. The activation of the OMACs is successful, but the revival causes Sasha's biological processes to shut down.

JSA vs. Kobra
In the 2009 miniseries "JSA Vs. Kobra", Mr. Terrific and Dr. Mid-Nite are keeping a comatose Sasha alive via life support in hopes of being able to cure her. By the end of the series, Sasha is restored to life and passionately kisses Mr. Terrific. This is her last appearance for six years.

DC Rebirth
A new interpretation of Sasha debuts in Wonder Woman volume 3 as part of the DC Rebirth initiative. In the new continuity, Sasha is a superior to Etta Candy, and is introduced discussing Steve Trevor's mission in the African jungle and a nearby sighting of Wonder Woman. She is revealed to be linked to an evil artificial intelligence which is monitoring her and attempting to manipulate Wonder Woman from afar.

Powers and abilities
Even before her transformation, Sasha is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant and marksman. She is skilled enough that Batman allows her to serve as a sidekick of sorts.

After capturing Sasha and studying her, Chang Tzu discovers that she has the following abilities:
 * "A rough ten-to-twenty percent enhancement over even an Olympic level athlete across the board--in strength, stamina, endurance, speed, dexterity...". During the procedure, she also demonstrates a rapidly increasing tolerance to the sedatives being used to keep her unconscious.
 * "(Via Sasha's) ocular implant, the whole of the visual spectrum and more, revealed to you". Earlier in the same storyline, Sasha demonstrates the ability to see in the infrared spectrum.
 * "Optimized targeting optics...you must make a terrifyingly accurate sniper..."
 * "Body parts encased in the OMAC composite shell...nanobot scabs covering your weaker flesh".

Sasha also has the ability to turn her nanorobotic components on and off at will. They also help her to regenerate from damage she sustains, particularly to those non-biological parts of her body.

Television

 * Sasha Bordeaux will appear in Peacemaker season 2, portrayed by Sol Rodríguez.

Talk:Martin Caidin

Untitled

 * The page says Martin Caidin is also known for having restored the only and last surviving Junkers 52 aircraft to flying condition.. When you go to the Junkers 52 page it says there are eight such planes. Which is right ? Hektor 00:54, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The page appears to have changed since your observation. I would submit that he was the first to restore a JU-52, and for a brief period Iron Annie was the only surviving JU-52...but that situation has since changed.Warhrs (talk) 19:03, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

"This Ain't Fiction"
Has anyone read his article "This Ain't Fiction"? It was published in New Destinies. He made claims about some research in telekinesis. He seemed quite serious but I haven't seen anything else about it. Anyone know, was it debunked, did it not pan out? (Or maybe that's what they want you to think ;) Tualha (Talk) 07:35, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

"The Rest of the Story"
Marty Caidin (he went by "Martin Strasser Caidin" the last several years of his life) had a large and devoted following but he was not held in high regard by serious historians. Samurai is riddled with factual errors, including people who never existed, and Sakai stated more than once that he never received any royalties from Caidin. It's a measure of Sakai's stature that he considered the friends he made in America more than worth whatever finances he lost.

Caidin's worst book undoubtedly was The Mission, a demonstrably bogus account of the 1942 B-26 mission with then-Congressman Lyndon Johnson. Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Caro somehow accepted the account at face value when it had long been debunked in aviation circles.

Caidin also committed plagiarism in extracting at least one article from a naval aviation magazine and inserting it in one of his books. When confronted by the editor, MSC realized he'd been caught legally vulnerable and hastened to make friends. He got off far too lightly for so serious an offense, having to pledge that he would not steal other material.

The article should mention Caidin's best book: Thunderbolt with Robert S. Johnson.

 * Okay...can you cite the source that says this? The other thing that should be noted is that Caidin was notorious for being difficult to get along with, both by his editors and his ex-wives (he had three; the fourth wife, Dee Dee, he managed to stay married to from the early seventies until his passing in 1997).  So for somebody to come up and say that he plagiarized or committed gross factual errors isn't surprising.  Such a claim bears the earmarks of an old grudge, unless some tangible evidence can be produced.Warhrs (talk) 19:08, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Martin Caidin Comments
1. I thought it was strange that the original author of this article didn't mention Marooned, which was turned into a major movie in 1962, starting Gregory Peck, Gene Hackman, and Peter Jansen.

 * I would also add the movie The Final Countdown to this (movie came out in 1980-81, with Kirk Douglas as one of the headlining stars).Warhrs (talk) 19:12, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

2. Caidin wrote a book called Natural or Supernatural? that is now out of print. This was a book on supernatural and paranormal topics. Caidin also had a couple of unfinished manuscripts on this subject, both of which I've read.

Mlibrescu 00:50, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Attempts at a biography
There has been at least one attempt at a biography for Caidin. In the late 1990s and into 2001, an independent aspiring writer, W. Baker Quinby, made repeated attempts to get a biography started. Quinby established contact with Michael Collins at AOPA Pilot magazine, as well as Dee Dee Caidin (Martin's widow), Terry Ritter (the chief mechanic/restorer on Iron Annie), and Pamela Caidin, one of his surviving daughters living in Colorado. Quinby's efforts are mentioned briefly in AOPA Pilot's May 2001 "Pilot Briefing" section (www.aopa.org/members/files/pilot/2001/news0105.html).

Unfortunately, that was as far as his efforts went. Shortly thereafter, 9/11 happened, and Quinby was activated by his USCG reserve unit. He made a few perfunctory efforts after returning home, but with the GWOT occupying more of his time, and a near-total lack of support from the aviation community, no manuscript has even been started, and the outlook for a proper remembrance of Caidin---one of aviation's most colorful mavericks---is doubtful.Warhrs (talk) 19:35, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2008
Article reassessed and graded as start class. In addition I am somewhat unsure if this article even falls under Military History scope.--dashiellx (talk) 13:54, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Criticism
Whether one agrees with Caidin or not, I think it is necessary to remind readers that he was and still is heavily criticized in his work as an aviation historian. The simple fact that he wrote so many books and articles is already outstanding and casts doubt about the seriousness of the research involved.

If anybody thinks the criticism is unjustified, just bear in mind that it is widespread and therefore should be mentioned, out of simple objectivity. Caidin is not appreciated in the aviation historians' community and it is considered he did considerable harm by spreading false information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.64.63.133 (talk) 10:01, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Absolutely anecdotal and not worth anything as such
I grew up on Merritt Island... living there from 1965 to 1981. As a kid, and as a Civil Air Patrol cadet on Merritt Island at the time, I got to know Martin Caidin through his very deliberate attempts to interest youth in aviation. In the late '70s, as a cadet, I flew aboard Iron Annie several times (Martin's JU-52).

I realize, now, that Martin had a tendency to exaggerate his stories.

Even so -- I hope that researchers here will, while factually confronting Martin where he went over the line, realize that he was a genuine champion of aviation in general... and did a lot of good toward getting kids like myself involved in the business.

I owe my aviation career to characters like Martin Caidin, Jim Bede, and Dick and Burt Rutan who made regular appearances in my small (island) corner of the world to broaden my horizons.

Definitely challenge these figures to ensure any history on Wikipedia remains accurate... but also, please, understand the reasons behind their enthusiasm. These details have no place in factual articles here (other than those about these personalities).... but I hope editors might gain a little understanding about the people behind them.

Martin was hugely influential in the lives of many budding aviators. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.14.152.66 (talk) 01:51, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Personal life and death
How come no details/info about him in these two areas?

The article is pretty much only about his writing.

Can anything be done to make this article actually biographical? 2600:8800:785:1300:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 02:12, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Factual error corrected
Corrected a factual error that said his Buck Rogers novel was based on the TV series. No it wasn't, it was based on the general pulp fiction character (though coincidentally the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century series was produced by Glen Larson, who was the producer on two of the original Six Million Dollar Man pilot films). 2604:3D09:1F74:1C00:752C:DCCB:99DE:5D5 (talk) 14:48, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

AND Daniel Baldwin Makes Hip-Hop Debut

Film and television star Daniel Baldwin moves into music

PORTLAND, Ore.– After conquering the small screen, Daniel Baldwin (Homicide: Life on the Streets, The Sopranos) hopes to conquer your speakers with the release of his first hip-hop track. The single “Club Life” marks Baldwin’s foray into the music scene and is part of the official soundtrack of Stripperland, a feature film due on DVD in April.

“I always wanted to be a rapper,” Baldwin said.

Baldwin co-wrote the lyrics with Northwest hip-hop legend Pale Soul. Pale Soul also provided the backing track. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ritchiebristol (talk • contribs) 23:09, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Less judgemental photograph
Does anyone have a better photograph for this page? Daniel Baldwin, while not exactly an A-list celebrity, is nonetheless best know for his acting career, and not as a criminal. I don't think it's appropriate to use a mug shot as his photograph. It's repeated twice on this page, and is also the only photograph on the Baldwin brothers page. James A. Stewart 00:07, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Good luck trying to get a fair use. Wikipedia is going nuts and deleting anything and everything. Mug shots are public domain. Dkkicks 04:14, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Mugshots are not all public domain. If its produced by a US federal agency its public domain. In this case, the mugshot was apparently produced by a county sheriff's office - so not public domain, and the image is tagged with a fair use template. Bwithh Join Up! See the World! 18:35, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

 * You stated, "the mugshot was apparently produced by a county sheriff's office - so not public domain." That is wrong. As a matter of California law, all mugshots produced by all law enforcement agencies within California are in the public domain. The whole purpose of a mugshot is for it to be freely disseminated. Restricting its use, therefore, would be counter-productive. Legal Wiggle (talk) 15:19, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Duplicate photo
Do we really need two copies of the same mugshot in one article? --The Dark Side 01:22, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I think its highly inappropriate to use the mugshot as the main lead photo for WP:BLP/undue weight reasons. I'm removing the duplicate at the top and reducing the size of the second image. Let's try not to make Wikipedia celebrity articles come across as schadenfreude gossip pages..... Bwithh Join Up! See the World! 18:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * All image seem to have been removed in the last years. I see no discussion on this talk page. As such I have restored the image in the text. Taketa (talk) 17:50, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Balance tag
Please lets try not to turn celebrity articles into tabloid gossip pages. I added the balance tag as the article gives a couple of sentences to discussing this actor's career and then whole mass to discussing his personal problems. Before I removed the unsourced negative gossip (WP:BLP issues) about supposed misbehaviour on a dieting/get fit gameshow, that gossipy part accounted for almost all of his career section! Career section should be expanded in a way which properly recognizes his noteworthy acting career Bwithh Join Up! See the World! 18:42, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * And let's not use the external links section for attack links. Bwithh Join Up! See the World! 07:56, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

List of recurring The Mighty Boosh characters

The Mighty Boosh is a British comedy troupe featuring comedians Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding. Recurring characters from the television series, the radio series, and the various stage shows are listed below. Most of the recurring characters are played by Barratt, Noel Fielding, Michael Fielding, Rich Fulcher or Dave Brown.

Central cast
The Mighty Boosh centres on the adventures of Howard Moon (Barratt) and Vince Noir (Fielding), aided by the other two members of the central cast, Naboo the Enigma (Michael Fielding) and Bollo (Peter Elliott/Dave Brown), who by series 3 they share a flat with. Bob Fossil (Rich Fulcher) is part of the central cast in series 1, becoming a recurring character thereafter.

In the course of the series a variety of bizarre and surreal recurring characters cross their paths, mostly also played by the same cast doubling up.

Howard Moon
Howard Tommy Jerry Moon is portrayed by Julian Barratt. Howard is an aspiring musician, actor, poet, novelist and photographer. In the first series he works at the Zooniverse as a zookeeper, alongside Vince. In the second series, Howard and Vince have left the zoo and formed a band together. He is vain, despite being described as "generic-looking" and often makes outrageous claims which often turn out to be true (he claims, for instance, to have turned down a lucrative offer extended by Walt Disney himself to sort all of Disney's felt-tip pens). He is unlucky in love, and in series one is in love with reptile keeper, Mrs Gideon. In the series three episode Party, it is revealed that he is a virgin. Later in the episode Vince and Howard share a kiss in order to save Vince's life, leading Howard to announce that he has now discovered his own homosexuality and is in love with Vince. Vince is horrified, but he becomes jealous moments later when Howard begins flirting with a girl.

Whenever Howard is near to death, he pleads not to die, saying, "Don't kill me. I've got so much to give." While Vince is always dressed very flashily and into the current fashion, Howard tends to look unkempt and shabby. In the episode "Killeroo", Howard possesses an unseen disfigurement on his torso.

Howard and Vince tease each other constantly, but there is a deep bond between them and both have demonstrated repeatedly that they will risk death to rescue each other from various dangerous situations. When facing death, the two will often reminisce about very mundane things – "like that one time they ate soup". This usually leads into a 'crimp': a short, completely random song and dance that quickly strays off-topic and often involves harmony.

Howard's exact age is uncertain. In the episode "Party" when Vince tells him that fifty isn't that old, he corrects Vince by telling him that he is only thirty-two and goes on to state that that is ten years older than Vince is. Yet in "Fountain of Youth", during a flashback to the pair's school days, he exclaims that he is the same age as Vince, despite looking much older, and it's mentioned several times throughout the series that they went to both primary school and college together.

Vince Noir
Vince Noir was originally created by Noel Fielding for the 1998 stage show The Mighty Boosh. Vince Noir went on to appear in three more stage shows, a radio series and a TV series on BBC Three.

During the course of the stage shows, the radio series and the TV series, it is implied that he was born in the mid-1980s, and spent much of his early life as an orphan, being raised in a forest by Bryan Ferry, and then proceeded to spend the latter part of his childhood in civilisation in England, where he befriended Howard Moon at primary school. He left secondary school in his mid-teens, after being convinced by Howard to work at a local zoo called the Zooniverse, despite mentioning at various points that he took a gap year, achieved at least two BTEC National Diplomas, and went to college. At the Zooniverse, he befriended Naboo the Enigma, Bollo the Ape, and Bob Fossil. He and Howard also went on several adventures whilst working at the Zooniverse, including visiting the Arctic tundra, Limbo, and going on a road trip. In the second series, he was living in a flat in Dalston with Howard, Naboo and Bollo, and playing in a band with Howard. In the third series, Vince and Howard were working in the Nabootique, a small second-hand shop owned by Naboo.

Vince's main personality trait is his relaxed outlook on life, living with perpetually laid back ease, socialising easily with those around him. Vince is often the voice of reason when Howard is being pretentious, although Vince has also been known to have a particularly naïve and somewhat childlike outlook on life. Vince is also shown to be vain and sometimes narcissistic, putting great pride in his appearance and his hair and sometimes neglecting his friend Howard in episodes of self-absorption. Vince usually conforms to specific subcultures which he considers vogue, such as mod, goth, punk, and New Rave,

Though he seems much more confident and secure than Howard, Vince is desperate to be admired as an individual and a trendsetter. In one episode he invites party guests to "bask in the glory of [his] outfit". When a doppelgänger calling himself Lance Dior arises, Vince's optimism crumbles and he becomes insecure.

It was implied in the third series that Vince had bisexual tendencies. Such tendencies are first noted in the episode "Journey to the Centre of the Punk" when his singular brain cell remarks to Howard that he "does swing both ways" but didn't really feel "it" with him. Several such references are made in the episode "Party", especially when he kisses Howard passionately to avoid being beheaded by Dennis the head shaman.

Vince is a fan of electro music (including Gary Numan and The Human League ), The Rolling Stones, punk rock, and glam rock (including Kiss ). Mick Jagger is Vince's hero. He is highly disdainful of jazz, going as far as to claim to be allergic to it. Vince has sung for various bands, including a glam-folk band, an electro band, his and Howard's own band, and a punk band. Vince is also a keen artist having gained a BTEC National Diploma in Art, as well as hair design; he also claims to be a novelist, writing novellas and publishing them independently.

Vince initially claims to have a cockney boxing instructor as an uncle, but it is later revealed that his uncle is actually a French Duke.

Vince also claims he is the "King of the Mods". In the season two episode entitled "Fountain of Youth", Howard Moon claimed to be the same age as Vince but in a later episode in season three, Vince is ten years younger. Vince is often sarcastic towards Howard and sometimes acts out similar to a teenager with a parent, but he always sticks by him in the end.

Naboo the Enigma
Naboo Randolph Ropitibopiti the Enigma is portrayed by Michael Fielding. He was created for the 2000 stage show, Autoboosh, and later went on to appear in the pilot and all three series of the TV series, as well as both stage shows.

Naboo is a freelance shaman from the alien planet Xooberon, and has the ability and knowledge of many spells; and is also a recreational drug user and a drug dealer. He is a member of the Board of Shaman, and like many members he is a heavy drinker and rides on a magic carpet.

In 1978, Naboo was mistakenly sent to Earth by the King of Xooberon to protect the amulet of the planet's Fountain of Youth. He became a drug dealer for Rudi and Spider at one point in the 1970s, and eventually went on to work as a kiosk vendor at the Zooniverse. While at the Zooniverse, he would help Howard and Vince out of situations they often found themselves in, typically their explanations being followed by his catchphrase, "I don't believe this!" Naboo left the Zooniverse to become a freelance shaman, moving into a flat in Dalston with Howard, Vince and Bollo, the last now being his familiar spirit. In the episode "Party" of series 3, it is revealed that Naboo has no genitals. By the 2006 stage show, he had opened a second hand shop called the Nabootique (sometimes known as Naboo's Nik-Naks). In the episode "Fountain of Youth" Bollo reveals that Naboo is 406 years old.

Bollo
Bollo was originally portrayed by Dave Brown, and also portrayed in the first TV series by Peter Elliot. He first appeared in "Jazz", an episode of the 2001 radio series. He went on to appear in all three series of the TV show and the 2006 stage show.

Bollo is an anthropomorphic gorilla who has been portrayed as inept yet immensely strong. He and Vince are very close, a stark contrast to his relationship with Howard. His catchphrase is "I've got a bad feeling about this...", a reference to Star Wars and said in every show since "The Call of the Yeti". He also DJs at the London nightclub Fabric on Tuesdays.

He first appeared in "Jazz", an episode of a radio series, portrayed by Dave Brown. He next appeared in "Mutants", where he is stolen by Bainbridge to mutate. He then appeared in "Bollo", where he is gravely ill, escaping death when the Grim Reaper takes Howard instead of him. He briefly appears in "Electro", smashing up a guitar in the style of Jimi Hendrix. By the second series he has become Naboo's familiar spirit, and has appeared in every episode since.

Bob Fossil
Bob Fossil is portrayed by Rich Fulcher. In the radio series Fossil is the ill-tempered owner of Bob Fossil's Funworld, an inept zoo. In the TV series, he is the manager of the Zooniverse and zoo owner Dixon Bainbridge's right-hand man. He is loud and brash and is normally portrayed as Howard and Vince's enemy, often trying to set them up for disaster, although on occasion he has expressed attraction to both of them. On radio, Fossil liked Vince and hated Howard, while on television he generally dislikes both of them, although by season 3 he's friendly to Vince, and his radio persona is somewhat replaced by employer Bainbridge. Fossil has a desperate crush on Bainbridge.

In the TV series Fossil is portrayed as incompetent and bizarrely unaware of common terms; for example he does not know how to dial with a phone and calls a portable tape recorder his "talk box". He is often very childlike and emotional. Though Fossil is chief zoo keeper, he knows nothing about animals, describing the elephant as "the grey leg-face man" and a bear as "the hairy Russian carpet guy". According to the radio series, Fossil also had a traumatic childhood. In the series, Fossil has his own theme song for the zoo: "Nicey nicey zoo zoo, for him and her and me and you!" In the radio series, Bob has a brother called Wilbur who reunites him and his mother, who had believed that Bob died in Vietnam.

Though Fossil and the zoo were absent from the second television series, he makes a brief reappearance at the end of The Nightmare of Milky Joe as the presenter of "The Pie Face Showcase" TV music programme. In this appearance he makes a joke about his wife; she is also mentioned in the radio series ('I got a tiny wife to support'). He returns in the third episode of series 3, "The Power of the Crimp", as the owner of the Velvet Onion club, where Vince and Howard regularly gig. It is revealed that his mother thinks he is in a Vietnamese prisoner of war camp and that he has sent a bundle of sticks to his brother, Donny. Fossil was last seen on the TV show, in the episodes "Party" and "The Chokes".

Dennis
Dennis is portrayed by Julian Barratt. He was originally created for the 2005 TV episode "Nanageddon", and later appeared in three episodes of the third TV series in 2007.

Dennis is the head of the Board of Shaman. He is married to an extreme sports calendar model who tried to seduce Vince in the episode 'Party'. He originally trained Naboo in the ways of the Shaman. He beheaded Lester Corncrake at Howard Moon's birthday party. He is skilled with a sword, and defeats three attackers in the party episode.

Saboo
Saboo is portrayed by Richard Ayoade. He was originally created for "Nanageddon", an episode of the second series of The Mighty Boosh and later appeared in three episodes of the third series, "Eels", "The Strange Tale of the Crack Fox" and "Party".

Saboo is a shaman, and a member of the Board of Shaman. He is also a DJ. He is close to Kirk but dislikes Tony Harrison, whom he has attempted to kill, and Naboo, whose propensity for getting in trouble with the Board of Shaman often results in Saboo attempting to make an example of him. During his first appearance, he frequently referred to 'the crunch,' criticising other characters for their lack of familiarity with it. He was Maheshwari.

Tony Harrison
Tony Harrison is portrayed by Noel Fielding. He was originally created for a 2005 episode of the second series of The Mighty Boosh, "Nanageddon", and later returned for three episodes of the third series.

Tony Harrison is a disembodied pink head, with eight or so tentacle-like appendages sprouting from his neck, and a coarse, nasal East London brogue. He is a shaman, and member of the Board of Shaman. Tony is barely mobile within the show, but is frequently outraged at suggestions that this is the case. Tony is married, and makes frequent reference to Mrs Harrison who, as yet, has not been seen on the show. Tony's catchphrase, "This is an outrage!" has been spoken by him during every appearance in the show. He is an ardent fan of Fleetwood Mac, to the extent of suggesting playing the album Tusk in its entirety while DJing Howard's birthday party with Saboo.

Tony first appeared, alongside the rest of the Board of Shaman, in the 2005 TV episode "Nanageddon", where he and fellow Shaman Saboo are given the task of finding and exorcising the powerful demon Nanatoo, which ends in Saboo ejecting him from his magic carpet out of annoyance. He next appears in the 2007 TV episode, "Eels", accompanying the other Shaman on Dennis's stag weekend. He then appears briefly in the 2007 TV episode, "The Strange Tale of The Crack Fox" being Naboo's executioner for the crime of giving a malevolent fox access to shaman juice. His latest appearance was in the 2007 episode "Party" where he and Saboo DJ'd at Howard's birthday party.

Kirk
Kirk is portrayed by Kirk Gaitskell-Kendrick. Kirk is a nephew of Noel Fielding's former girlfriend Dee Plume, although Noel referred to Kirk as his own nephew. He first appeared in the 2005 episode, "Nanageddon", and later appeared in three 2007 episodes.

Kirk is a child Shaman, and a member of the Board of Shaman. Kirk is renowned by the other members of the Board of Shaman for having the greatest capacity for taking drugs. A deleted scene from "Nanageddon" reveals that Saboo trained Kirk in the ways of the Shaman.

Dixon Bainbridge
Dixon Bainbridge was portrayed by Richard Ayoade in the pilot episode, and by Matt Berry throughout the first series. He originally appeared in the pilot and several episodes of the first series of the TV show, and in the 2006 stage show, The Mighty Boosh.

Bainbridge is the owner of the Zooniverse, as well as being an admired adventurer. Bob Fossil is deeply in love with Bainbridge, which often results in Bainbridge beating him up.

His first appearance is in the pilot episode of the TV series, portrayed by Richard Ayoade. He then appears in "Mutants", where he steals and mutilates the various animals and keepers of the Zooniverse. He next appears in "Tundra", a remake of the original pilot episode. He inspires Howard and Vince to travel to the Arctic Tundra and find the Egg of Mantumbi, which Bainbridge later finds himself, escaping the Black Frost by using the heat stored in his own moustache. Bainbridge later tries to sell the Zooniverse to build a road over it in "Jungle"; a plan which is later averted by Howard and Vince. Bainbridge finally appears in "Charlie", where he steals credit for Vince's work as a novelist, causing Charlie, the subject of Vince's novels, to appear and attack Bainbridge and his publisher. He was last seen delivering a box to the Nabootique.

It was revealed in The Mighty Book of Boosh that Bainbridge had been knighted in a story that involved Bainbridge rescuing his kidnapped wife in Brazil.

Lester Corncrake
Lester Corncrake is portrayed by Rich Fulcher. He appeared in several episodes of the third series of the TV show.

Lester Corncrake is a blind vinyl doctor who is close friends with Howard Moon, and also an avid jazz fan. He mistakenly believes he is black.

Lester first appeared in the 2007 episode, "Journey to the Centre of Punk" in which he accompanies Howard on his microscopic journey inside Vince to eliminate the jazz virus he has ingested. He next appears briefly in the 2007 episode "The Power of the Crimp", disowning Howard after his and Vince's poor performance at a gig at the Velvet Onion where they were sabotaged by their new rivals, the Flighty Zeus. His last appearance to date was in the 2007 episode, "Party", where he is a guest at Howard's birthday, where he is mistakenly beheaded by Dennis, then raped by Tony Harrison. He is briefly mentioned in the third series finale.

Rudi van DiSarzio
Rudi van DiSarzio is portrayed by Rich Fulcher and Julian Barratt. He was originally created for the 1998 stage show, The Mighty Boosh, and also appeared in an out-take for the "Jazz" episode of the 2001 radio series The Boosh, both portrayed by Rich Fulcher. He was then portrayed by Julian Barratt in the 2004 episode "Jungle", and the 2005 episode  "The Priest and the Beast" of the TV series. He last appeared in the 2006 stage show, Boosh Live.

Rudi is a High Priest of the Order of the Psychedelic Monks. He and Spider Dijon quarrel often, but are very close despite having starkly different personalities. Rudi's behaviour and attitude is extremely puritanical; he thinks of alcohol and women as "distractions" in stark contrast to the animalistic nature of Spider Dijon, and even went so far as to say that he considered all women "strange and evil". Whenever he is asked for his name, Rudi's initial response will often be "I go by many names..." followed by a list of odd names. Some of his many names include "Shatoon, Bringer of Corn", "Mickey Nine, The Dreamweaver", "Photoshop", "Trenu, The Boiler", "Marjorie Keek", "Mystery Man", "The Shadow Dweller", "Diviner of Mysteries", "Rudi the Prudey", "Miraculous Mark", "Domino, the Bounty Hunter", "Clive" and "Cillit Bang", He is often called "Peppercorn" by the Dutch. A similar character, Howard's uncle Pedro, appears in the radio episode "Tundra", also claiming to go by many names.

In Jungle and some other appearances he has a tiny (puppet) body and he appears attached to a mobile backdrop; in most appearances he is of normal size and wears a long purple robe. In all of his appearances on stage or TV, Rudy has large buck teeth, browned skin and a large afro haircut with a door in it, called the door of Kukundu, that can open to take people on bizarre psychedelic trips. He claims to have earned his door by becoming spiritually enlightened as a monk.

Mrs Gideon
Mrs Gideon is portrayed by Victoria Wicks. She was mentioned briefly in The Boosh as Howard's band partner and lover, until the smooth talking Rudy Mancheigo (a precursor to the character of Rudi van DiSanio) wooed her with empty wisdoms.

Mrs Gideon was the Head of Reptiles at the Zooniverse in the first series of the TV show. She was the chief love interest of Howard in Series 1 but as she could not remember his face, his love went unrequited. She was, however, interested in Vince, admiring his paintings, remarking that Vince's portrait of Howard (a featureless face atop a Zooniverse uniform) looked just like him, and going to Vince when her snake was stolen by Bainbridge, much to Howard's disgust and envy.

Old Gregg
Old Gregg is portrayed by Noel Fielding. He was created for "The Legend of Old Gregg", a 2005 episode of the TV series. He later went on to appear in the 2006 stage show, The Mighty Boosh.

Old Gregg is a hermaphroditic merman who occasionally refers to his vagina, which emits a blinding light that "makes you feel tingly", as his "mangina". He inhabits a cave below the lake in a village called Black Lake. Old Gregg is in love with Howard Moon; singing a song with him entitled "Love Games", chronicling his obsession and Howard's reluctance, and later proposing to Howard. A deleted scene from "The Legend of Old Gregg" documents many rumours about Old Gregg – which number 29, the "same number of sailors in Nantucket" – including his cannibalistic nature, and his age at over 1,200 years old. It's also noted that he once fainted after reading a pelican's mind, painted his pubic hairs yellow so he could "read in the bed", and that when he breaks wind people in Africa go "Haaaah". Before meeting Faye, Old Gregg was obsessed with Slash, the former Guns N' Roses guitarist, to the point of kidnapping him. It was mentioned that it ended badly, involving Gregg being very upset and Slash plummeting from a helicopter down 1000 feet onto some sharp rocks. He also claims that he said, "You should build a Velvet Revolver and go and live in it." – Velvet Revolver being Slash's new band.

Old Gregg is first seen in the 2005 episode, "The Legend of Old Gregg" in which he meets and falls in love with Howard, who is then rescued by Vince. Old Gregg then joins Howard in the 2006 stage show, after tracking him down and having himself delivered in a box, where they sing a rendition of "Love Games" and are later seen kissing. Old Gregg last appeared in a deleted scene from the 2007 episode, "Party", disguised as a woman who has taken a liking to Howard.

The Hitcher
The Hitcher is portrayed by Noel Fielding. He was created for the 1999 stage show Autoboosh, and later appeared in the 2001 radio series, four episodes of the television series, and the 2006 stage show, The Mighty Boosh, in which he is the main antagonist, killing all the main characters at one point.

The Hitcher is an old cockney man with long grey hair, green skin, a large Polo mint over his left eye, a top hat and black and red clothing. He is evil, threatening to kill Howard and Vince whenever he meets them, and killing the whole cast in the stage show. His real name is Baboo Yagu, but he is almost always referred to as The Hitcher. He is also a proponent of jazz fusion, especially proficient at playing slap bass.

The Hitcher has a confused history; he states in "The Hitcher" that as a child his parents were ashamed of his small thumb (prompting him to seek out the Hornet Shaman). However, in "Eels" he reveals that Elsie, proprietor of the Pie and Mash Shop, gave him free eels "on account of [him] being an orphan n' that" (Eels). In The Mighty Book of Boosh, it is stated The Hitcher trained a man called Ian in the ways of a Cockney. Ian later goes on to become Jack the Ripper, and the Hitcher murders him as punishment for 'slashing Women'.

The Hitcher is sometimes accompanied by two short, rotund henchmen called the Piper Twins. The Piper Twins are dressed similarly to the Hitcher, with similar Polo mint eyes, but wear bowler hats and have long red moustaches, made from strawberry bootlaces. They are portrayed by Rich Fulcher and Dave Brown

The Hitcher's first appearance was in Autoboosh, where he encounters Howard and Vince, trapping them in a box and then rapping about it. This plot was the template for a 2001 radio episode and a 2004 television episode, both titled "Hitcher".

In the television episode, he is proprietor of the "Zoo for Animal Offenders". He later appears in the 2005 television episode, "Fountain of Youth", where he plans to use the fountain of youth's magical qualities for himself with the motive to rule the universe. Next he appeared in the episode "The Nightmare of Milky Joe" as one of the coconut people. He then appeared in the 2006 stage show, The Mighty Boosh, which contained elements of both Autoboosh and the 1999 stage show, Arctic Boosh. His latest appearance was in the 2007 television episode, "Eels", in which he attempts to run a protection racket on The Nabootique.

The Hitcher' appearance changes somewhat between appearances. In the first series episode "The Hitcher" he has an abnormally large thumb, as well as nose and chin. He explains his huge thumb as stemming from his visiting a Hornet Shaman in the bin of a primary school and asking him to enlarge his thumb by stinging it repeatedly. In the second series his thumb is normally sized. In the third series he has a normal chin and nose. As he melted at the end of prior appearance while washing in the Fountain of Youth, this last change of appearance could stem from being de-aged.

In commenting on his eponymous appearance in series one, Fielding said that the Hitcher is based on his grandfather crossed with the character Fagin from the play Oliver Twist.

The Spirit of Jazz/Howlin' Jimmy Jefferson
The Spirit of Jazz/Howlin' Jimmy Jefferson is portrayed by Noel Fielding. He appears in three separate forms over the course of the series. In the series 3 episode, Journey to the Centre of Punk, he is described as having been a famous jazz musician that lived by the swamps of Mississippi. When he was alive he had black and white skin, red eyes and wore a white suit and top hat. When he discovered he was dying of a "strange swamp fever" he decided to make one final record called Voodoo Scat and mixed it with a drop of his own blood.

The series 1 episode "Electro" is the first appearance of Howlin' Jimmy Jefferson. His ghost is featured in this episode and referred to as the Spirit of Jazz. In this form he looks the same as he did when he was alive but now has a number of supernatural powers and uses them to possess people such as Howard. Howard ignorantly made a deal with him years ago, which the spirit claimed would make Howard one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time (in Yorkshire).

Howard later obtains the voodoo scat record that Howlin' Jimmy made and Vince eats a piece of it which causes one of Howlin' Jimmy's blood cells (referred to as the jazz cell) to try and take over Vince's body. Howard along with Lester Corncrake shrink down and enters Vince's body in an attempt to defeat the jazz cell but end up bringing it out of Vince's body with them and making it much larger. It is eventually defeated by an infected safety pin (previously used by Sid Vicious) and walks away complaining, falling over just outside the door of the Nabootique.

In June 2020, Netflix removed The Mighty Boosh from distribution because of concerns that the Spirit of Jazz might be considered a blackface performance.

The Moon
The Moon is portrayed by Noel Fielding with his face covered in shaving foam. He was originally created for Fielding's 2002 stand-up show Voodoo Hedgehog at the Edinburgh Festival. He later appeared in all episodes of series two and three of The Mighty Boosh, and in the 2006 and 2008 live shows. The Moon always appears to be simple-mindedly cheerful and tells anecdotes which act as bookends between sketches. He has a poor grasp of English, and is described by Tony Harrison as "an alabaster retard".

The Moon made a cameo appearance in the first episode of Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy, and in June 2013 he made an appearance in a video message at Channel 4's Comedy Gala.

Tommy Nookah
Tommy Nookah was originally portrayed by Richard Ayoade. He appeared in the radio episode "Jungle" and later in revised form during the first series of the TV show, where he was played by Rich Fulcher rather than Ayoade. In both versions he is the previous owner of the zoo where Howard and Vince work; he is assumed by many to be dead. Howard sees him as an idol and mentor. Howard later enters the jungle room of the zoo to find Tommy. In the TV version Tommy has subsisted for years on nothing but cheese, and as a result his head has turned into cheese. Tommy considers himself King of the Rockers, and flies into a rage when confronted by mods.

The Parka People
The Parka People are a diminutive race of people who wear parkas that completely obscure their features. They appear in the "Tundra" storyline and the third series episode "Party". By looking deep into the parka, one can see one's deepest desire. The Parka People guard the Egg of Mantumbi. One of the Parka people appears in the stage show, played by Noel Fielding.

Leroy
Leroy is a recurring character who only appears on screen once in the television series when Vince creates a band which was a glam rock/folk fusion in episode 7 of series 1, "Electro". He is said to have helped Howard edit the show's script in the series 1 episode "Tundra", cutting out the scene where Vince has the legs of a ram. Leroy also goes on secret spy skiing missions in the Alps as is mentioned in the series 3 episode "Eels". He is mentioned in the episode "Electro" as having tried to form a glam-folk-rock band with Vince. He is played by Olly Ralfe in this short scene. He is also referred to briefly in episode 1 of season 1 Killeroo when Vince states that Leroy had told him earlier he saw Howard dancing for Fossil in the moonlight in "little blue pants" and is later referenced in "The Ape of Death" talking to Vince on a cellphone when Howard is "haunting" him.

Kamsa

Kamsa (कंस, ) was the tyrant ruler of the Vrishni kingdom, with its capital at Mathura. He is variously described in Hindu literature as either a human or an asura; The Puranas describe him as an asura, while the Harivamśa describes him as an asura reborn in the body of a man. His royal house was called Bhoja; thus, another of his names was Bhojapati. He was the cousin of Devaki, the mother of the deity Krishna; Krishna ultimately fulfilled a prophecy by slaying Kamsa.

Kamsa was born to King Ugrasena and Queen Padmavati. However, out of ambition, and upon the advice of his personal confidantes, Banasura and Narakasura, Kamsa decided to overthrow his father, and install himself as the King of Mathura. Therefore, upon the guidance of another advisor, Chanura, Kamsa decided to marry Asti and Prapti, the daughters of Jarasandha, King of Magadha.

After a heavenly voice prophesied that Devaki's eighth son would slay him, Kamsa imprisoned Devaki and her husband Vasudeva, and killed all of their children; however, just before the birth of the seventh child of Devaki and Vasudeva, Vishnu ordered the goddess Mahamaya to transfer the child from the womb of Devaki to that of Rohini, another wife of Vasudeva. Soon, Rohini gave birth to Devaki's seventh son, named Balarama. The eighth son, Krishna, an avatar of Vishnu, was transported to the village of Gokula, where he was raised in the care of Nanda, the head of the cowherds. Learning of his birth, Kamsa sent a host of asuras to kill the child Krishna, but Krishna killed every one of them. Finally, Krishna arrived in Mathura and slew his uncle, Kamsa.

Birth and early life
Kamsa was in his previous birth a demon called Kalanemi, who was slain by the god Vishnu. Kamsa is generally described as the son of the Yadava ruler, Ugrasena. However, some texts such as the Padma Purana state that Kamsa was not the biological son of Ugrasena. In this story, the wife of Ugrasena (named Padmavati in some texts) is seen by a supernatural being named Dramila, who transforms himself into the form of Ugrasena and inseminates her. Realizing this duplicity, Padmavati curses Drumila to hell for his sin. She soon becomes pregnant with a son, whom she also curses be killed by a member of his family. After the son is born, Ugrasena adopts him and names him Kamsa.

In childhood, Kamsa was trained by the other Yadavas, who were famous warriors, along with his eight brothers. Kamsa acquired Jarasandha's attention when the latter tried to invade Mathura. Kamsa single-handedly routed Jarasandha's army. The latter was impressed and made Kamsa his son-in-law. With Jarasandha's support, Kamsa became even more powerful.

Annexation of kingdom
During his wedding in Mathura, Jarasandha brought over his army to escort the Princesses Asti and Prapti. Using the army of Magadha as his political cover, Kamsa overthrew his father after he refused to voluntarily retire from his position. This was done within the confines of the royal palace and the public was not informed. After Ugrasena failed to show up for public events, Kamsa announced his coronation.

Warning issued by Yogamaya

Kamsa intended to kill his cousin Devaki, fearing the prophecy that her eighth child was fated to kill him. Vasudeva managed to save his wife's life by promising Kamsa that he would deliver all their children to the latter. Kamsa accepted this proposition and spared Devaki because she herself was not a threat to him. In the confines of the prison, Devaki repeatedly conceived and Kamsa cruelly murdered the first six children.

Before the seventh child was born, Vishnu ordered the goddess Yogamaya to transfer the seventh child of Devaki into the womb of Rohini. This child would be raised by his surrogate mother, Rohini, and named Balarama, Krishna's elder brother. Yogamaya was tasked to be born as the daughter of Yashoda. Immediately preceding the birth of Krishna, the goddess rendered the guards of Kamsa unconscious. When Krishna was born to Devaki, heeding the deity's instructions, Vasudeva carried the infant to Nanda and Yashoda's house, swapping him with their infant daughter, Yogamaya. Presuming the infant to be Devaki's eighth child, Kamsa prepared to murder her, but the girl slipped out of his hands. Assuming her true form, Yogamaya proclaimed to Kamsa, "The eighth child, who shall kill you, has been born. He is in Gokula!"

Death
The seventh child, Balarama, was saved when he was moved to Rohini's womb. The eighth child born to Devaki and Vasudeva was Krishna. Krishna was saved from Kamsa's wrath and raised by Vasudeva's relative Nanda and Yasoda, a cowherd couple.

After Krishna grew up and returned to the kingdom, Kamsa was eventually killed and beheaded by Krishna, as was originally predicted by the divine prophecy. His eight brothers, headed by Kanka, were also killed by Balarama. Following this, Ugrasena was reinstated as the King of Mathura.

Wanted (2005 TV series)

Wanted is an American primetime police drama television series broadcast on the TNT network which was aired from July 31 to December 26, 2005. The series was created by Louis St. Clair and Jorge Zamacona, and executive produced by Aaron Spelling, E. Duke Vincent and Jorge Zamacona. This series was the last produced by Spelling and Vincent before their death in 2006 and 2024.

Synopsis
The show follows an elite taskforce, with members pulled from the different branches of law enforcement (DEA, United States Marshals, LAPD, ATF, FBI) as they track down Los Angeles's 100 most wanted fugitives and struggle to balance their work and personal lives.

Members of the task force include Conrad Rose (Gary Cole), the Team Leader from L.A. Metro SWAT who is considered the moral center of the unit; Jimmy McGloin (Ryan Hurst), an ATF agent and a bona fide card-carrying conservative; Carla Merced (Rashida Jones), a former Naval Intelligence officer and expert hostage negotiator; Tommy Rodriquez (Benjamín Benítez), an FBI agent not above using his good looks and charm to stop any criminal; Rodney Gronbeck (Josey Scott), an LAPD officer and a tech genius; Joe Vacco (Brendan Kelly), a DEA agent who is currently living at the team's warehouse headquarters after having getting kicked out of his own place; and Eddie Drake (Lee Tergesen), an eight-year veteran of the U.S. Marshals Service and graduate of the L.A. Metro Police Academy. As the team tracks down criminals, often using unconventional (and legally questionable) methods, they discover there is a fine line between justice and the law.

The series was canceled after the first season, at the end of a cliffhanger with whether the group would be prosecuted for overstepping their bounds.

Nairb Oicruc
A Jedi warrior whose name doesn't seem to show up anywhere except wikimirrors, and which is "Brian" spelled backwards, makes me suspicious of a hoax. DS 00:58, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete or speedy. I am not a super star wars geek, but this looks like a prank on one hand, but lucas is just weird enough to use a name that is brian spelled backwards.  Either way, it is not a notable character, and if it isn't a hoax then it can still be deleted as not-notable.  -- Malo 02:22, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - Nothing, really. Sunray 02:25, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: I found the name on non-wiki sites, but there was no information beyond the fact that he is part of the New Jedi Order. If real, it can be recreated when more information is available. -- Kjkolb 02:29, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

 * While the other characters mentioned are part of the New Jedi Order character set, and have the potential for expansion, Nairb Oicruc does not exist in the series, or even if he does, he's not notable enough for even my crazy, NJO-obsessed mate to remember. Delete Saberwyn 03:31, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete far more important characters don't even have their own article. There are articles with short descriptions of Star Wars characters; this should go in one of those.  (And on the Star Wars Wikicity, of course.) Jdavidb (talk) 16:52, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
