The Guild: Complete Megaset DVD
As unlikeable as the characters are, the actors playing them are
excellent, with Jeff Lewis' role as Vork, the group's by-the-book
leader, being one of the series' stand-outs. Each fully develops their
character over the course of the show, and the guest stars, like
Michelle Boyd as fearsome gamer Riley and pre-New Girl Lamorne Morris,
often managed to make their parts work quickly. Taking advantage of the
convention setting of season five and the show's growing success, the
series brought on big cameos that would appeal to its somewhat niche
geek-friendly audience, including Simon Helberg, Brent Spiner, Nathan
Fillion, Erin Gray, Neil Gaiman, Richard Hatch (the non-Survivor one),
Doug Jones, Zach Levi, Eliza Dushku, Kevin Sorbo and Stan Lee (not to
mention internet celebs like Tay Zonday and iJustine.) It's a
double-edged sword, because it's fun to see these stars, mostly playing
themselves, slumming it in a web series, but it further pushes the show
from the lo-fi treat what it started as.
