Nikita (Maggie Q) and her team target Uzbekistan President Markov (Jonathan Goad), a former undercover Division agent who has wormed his way into power over the last few months by killing his way to the top. Unable to tell President Spencer (Michelle Nolden), who is one more Division mistake away from sending in the Special Forces to clean house, that she’s about to sit down with a dirty Division agent who is running his own country, Ryan (Noah Bean) suggests replacing Markov with a double and then arranging a natural and public death far away from U.S. soil. Meanwhile Ryan assigns Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) to begin searching for Amanda’s (Melinda Clarke) mole inside Division.

will.i.am (ft. Britney Spears) – Scream & Shout

/ / Music News & Reviews

Here is “Scream & Shout,” the third single released from will.i.am’s 2012 collaborative album #willpower. Both the electropop/dance track and video feature Britney Spears, a heavy use of auto-tune on the vocals, and the recurring lyric “Britney bitch.” Directed by Ben Mor the video has received mixed reviews for its style that includes visibly impressive shots but no clear narrative. The song is definitely catchy enough to be a club hit but not memorable enough to stay with you after leaving said club. I’m more impressed with the sleek look of the video that (somewhat) manages to recapture Spears’ long-dormant sex-appeal.

Fatale #10

/ / Comics

fatale-10-coverFatale‘s second arc comes to a close as Miles retrieves a sacred book from the the cult as Josephine’s home is invaded by Hansel and his inner circle who find a Josephine far more eager (and able) to fight than the last time they crossed paths.

The final issue works very well in tying up several loose ends, despite being more than a little melancholy as both Josephine’s recent former lovers meet tragic ends over the course of the comic. Miles dies in the cult’s invasion of Josephine’s home and Nicholas Lash begins a long prison stint for murder and, to his horror, discovers what happened to his uncle’s missing manuscript.

They comic ends the first ten issues of the series with a bang and leaves plenty of room for more stories and a new direction as Josephine’s admission to Miles about her effect on men seems to free her in a way that may not only be dangerous for Hanzel and his friends but whoever may cross her path next. Must-read.
