Powetcast Episode 21: Back in Time

Does LOST’s handling of time travel make Flashforward fall flat? Can anything top it ever again? Logan lets us know his thoughts on Brutal Legend, Bioware announces the street date for Mass Effect 2, and — try as they might — Mattel can’t seem to get anything right.

(Are you excited for Flashforward? Mass Effect 2? The end of the Pontiac line? Leave your thoughts in a comment below!)
