Eye Spy was the best episode yet of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Dr. Calvin Zabo (aka Mister Hyde) was an immoral but brilliant genetic researcher.

Sunday’s panel was hilarious, insightful and inspiring. Crosby explained why she left the series after one season. I often call Tasha the “James Dean” of Star Trek because she was on the show for one season but made such an incredible impact. This being a science fiction series, Crosby was able to reprise her role in one of the most beloved episodes, Yesterday’s Enterprise. Continue reading Denise Crosby at GeekGirlCon 2013
