Ryan's second episode of
jPod (1x07: SpriteQuest) will air
tonight at 9pm on
CBC in Canada.
Below is the episode synopsis from the Official
jPod website ....
---------------------------------------------- Steve (COLIN
CUNNINGHAM)
has gone missing. Ethan (DAVID KOPP) believes that Steve is still alive but the
other Podsters think he's committed suicide.
Carol (SHERRY
MILLER) is sad about Steve's disappearance and Jim (ALAN THICKE) wants to cheer
her up. He finds just the thing: The Vancouver Swing Society is hosting an
excursion to the botanical gardens in Victoria. Something for both of them!
Meanwhile, the
Podsters learn that Steve's replacement is Alistair Parrish (RYAN ROBBINS), the
code-thief. Their new boss kills BoardX and assigns his new game, an
embarrassing sword and sorcery adventure called SpriteQuest.
At the hotel, Jim
and Carol meet Bertrand (JOHN NOVAK) and Justine (MARIA MARLOW). They like them
very much until they learn they're at a sex convention for swingers. Carol is
furious and gets even angrier when Jim implies she was romantically involved
with Steve. She accepts Bertrand's invitation to an orgy. Jim imagines her as
the centre of attention, but Carol just locks herself in the bathroom. The
Podsters resist their new boss, but Kaitlin (EMILIE ULLERUP) wants to excel.
Alistair has her install new software which she doesn't realize will monitor the
Podster's productivity. Ethan is ready to revolt when Alistair cuts off their
telephones and internet and moves his desk into jPod.
Ethan gets an
anonymous instant message instructing him to watch Alistair, who behaves
bizarrely then heads out. Ethan's phone rings and the voice of the mysterious "Babette"
explains how she got Alistair to leave. The Podsters are back on line, too, and
they send Ethan a news story that Steve has left a suicide note. Cowboy (BEN
AYRES) passes out bottles of Chugatussin and the Podsters toast the memory of
Steve and get tussed up.
When Alistair
returns, he threatens to fire Ethan but Ethan counters by challenging him to a
duel. If Alistair wins, they'll work on SpriteQuest and, if he loses, they'll
finish BoardX. Alistair selects Rock Paper Scissors and then reveals that he was
a three-time World Champion. Ethan's phone rings. It's Babette, telling him to
watch for light signals that will indicate what to throw against Alistair.
Meanwhile, after
trying to coax Carol to join the orgy, Bertrand tells her that Jim honestly
thought it was a dance convention. Carol finds Jim and they are very happy to
make up.
Ethan and Alistair
face off. It's a dead heat as Ethan manages to keep throwing exactly what
Alistair does. They agree to call it a draw: jPod will concentrate on
SpriteQuest, but Alistair will move out of jPod and cancel production quotas.
Ethan asks the
Podsters if anyone knows a Babette that works at N.A.
Ryan is at the end of the trailer around the 1:48
time stamp.
January 15th, 2008
Ryan's first episode of
jPod (1x06: The Hero's Journey) will air
tonight at 9pm on
CBC in Canada.
Below is the episode synopsis from the Official
jPod website ....
----------------------------------------------
Just as Ethan (DAVID KOPP) musters up the nerve to
ask Kaitlin (EMILIE ULLERUP) out, her old flame
Kevin (KYLE CASSIE) becomes a hero. Kevin is an
actor, and his current gig is playing Klownsworthy,
the Churley Burger spokesclown. As Klownsworthy,
Kevin has apparently rescued three terminally-ill
children from a burning building. Kevin's all over
the news and when he's interviewed he tells the
world he wants Kaitlin back.
Meanwhile, Jim (ALAN THICKE) is delighted to have an
opportunity to do research for an upcoming
bikesploitation movie when he and Carol (SHERRY
MILLER) visit a biker's house in hopes of expanding
her marijuana market.
Back at jPod, Steve (COLIN
CUNNINGHAM)
asks Ethan to attend a meeting he can't make. The
Podsters are disappointed with Ethan for agreeing to
go, but Kaitlin is impressed, and that was Ethan's
plan. It may be the only way he can compete with a
"hero."
The meeting marks
the return of legendary Neotronic Arts employee,
Alistair
Parrish (RYAN ROBBINS), who was sent to American
prison camp Guantànamo for creating an astonishing
flight simulator game engine that involved flying
jets into office towers.
When Ethan describes
Cowboy as "the most talented coder in the building,"
Alistair
wants to meet him. Cowboy and
Alistair
bond instantly and parse code together at a feverish
pace.
Carol gets nowhere with the bikers -- they take her
and Jim for narcs. On their second visit, Jim wears
biker duds and Carol brings samples of her best bud.
Ethan gets invited to another meeting, but he is
horrified when he learns that it's for Klownsworthy:
The Game, on which Kevin will be intimately
involved. Ethan and jPod are to start working on the
game full time.
Kaitlin accompanies Kevin to Churley Burger to shoot
a Klownsworthy commercial. Kevin is miked for sound
but, not having been on camera for a while, he's
nervous and his "spastic colon" starts acting up.
Carol and Jim again return to the bikers. Carol is
mortified when Dwight (DARREN MOORE), a biker she'd
given up for dead and tossed into a dumpster weeks
before after a botched drug deal, answers the door.
She drops her handgun and it goes off...
accidentally, into Dwight's foot.
Cowboy proudly shows
the Podsters the disc of his new source code, but
Alistair
grabs it from him and runs. Having used Cowboy to
update his skills,
Alistair
is now the best coder in the building.
While in the toilet at Churley Burger, Kevin gets a
collect phone call from his convict brother. Kevin
tells him that he didn't intend to save the kids:
he'd gone in to retrieve his cell phone (recently
loaded up with Scooby-Doo ring tones) and, "Those
brats latched on to me and wouldn't let me go." Of
course, Klowsnworthy is miked and the entire crew
and Churley executives listen in as he insults them
and the company. It's the end of the road for
Kevin's Klownsworthy gig.
Back at the Jarlewski home, Steve confesses to Jim
that he's in love with Carol, so Jim asks Kam Fong (RAUGI
YU) for a "favour" to deal with Steve.

THE GUARD (formerly
Search and Rescue) in which Ryan stars as
Wendell, will premiere on January the
22nd, 2008 on GLOBAL (Canadian tv channel).
Ryan appears in the trailer
on the GlobalTV website for The GUARD. Check it out
at the link below.
Show Description: The
Guard is a one-hour character-driven, original drama
series that focuses on the lives of four imperfect,
offbeat and sometimes difficult, but heroic Coast
Guard rescue specialists looking for meaning in
their own lives while enduring the daily dangers of
life out on the Pacific Ocean.
Heroes are men and women,
human beings with flaws and weaknesses, who
knowingly place themselves at risk in order to save
another. They should also know?never expect thanks.
The Pacific Ocean collides
into Canada's mountainous coastline in one of the
most beautiful and treacherous locations on earth,
Port Hallet. Here, human beings go up against nature
at their peril - because nature almost always wins.
In a place like this, Rescue Specialists know that
disasters follow few rules. Decisions, which may
cost or save lives, are made as quickly as reflexes
allow. This is a series about the men and women who
make them.
Homegrown talent starring in
this primetime Canadian original series include
Steve Bacic (Andromeda) as Duty Captain, Miro Da
Silva; Jeremy Guilbaut (Edgemont) as Rescue
Specialist, Andrew Vanderlee; Zoie Palmer (Instant
Star) as Rescue Specialist Carly Greig; and
Claudette Mink (The Days) as Rescue Specialist Laura
Nelson. David James Elliott, well known to
television fans for JAG and Closer to Home, will
play recurring character, David Nelson on the
series.
There is action as the
rescuers dangle from helicopters and plunge into
seas, but the beating heart of the series is the
peculiarly human topography of four particular
rescue workers' "ordinary" lives. In life, as in
work, these individuals, struggle to do the right
thing, never entirely sure what the right thing is.
They are search and rescue
workers, and they hold on to the belief that where
there is life, there is always a horizon of hope.
