Pretty Little Liars - A is for A-L-I-V-E

Pretty Little Liars returns for it’s Fourth Season picking up from last season’s cliffhanger with the Liars and Mona (Janel Parrish) discovering the missing Detective Wilden’s (Bryce Johnson) police cruiser (followed shortly by the discovery of the detective’s dead body). Mona’s quick thinking retrieves the car’s hard drive and any evidence of Hanna’s mother (Laura Leighton) connection to Wilden or her accidentally running over deranged cop with his own squad car. What follows is an unexpected honest discussion of A and her role in their tormentor’s schemes between the Liars and Mona (including a trip to her lair).

Ame-Comi Girls #4

Ame-Comi Girls #4Influenced by the Star Sapphire bequeathed to her by a dying alien on the moon, astronaut Carol Ferris returns to Earth and picks a very public fight with Power Girl over the heart of Jimmy Olsen. Unprepared for the situation, Power Girl is saved by Earth’s new Green Lantern, Jade (the young blind Chinese woman who was introduced in last month’s issue).

The second-half of the issue deals with the introduction of a new villain to the Ame-Comi Girls Universe. This means we get Sinestra, a female version of Sinestro who was banished to the Anti-Matter Universe after nearly destroying her own, as well as the introduction of the yellow power ring and the Black Lantern Corps (which the character led before her exile).

Personally, I’d have preferred the comic to stay away from the various rainbow corps other than Sinestra (especially the Black Lanterns), but the introduction of the backstory of the character is certainly no more ridiculous than Geoff Johns‘ original concept. Worth a look.

King & Maxwell - Pilot

Based on the series of novels by David Baldacci, TNT’s latest procedural drama stars Jon Tenney and Rebecca Romijn as a pair of former Secret Service agents turned bickering Washington D.C. private detectives. After a ridiculous bit of nonsense involving the pair chasing a blackmailer dressed as a beaver through the city, the “Pilot” episode begins with the murder of an old friend of King’s (Tenney) who was working as the attorney for alleged serial killer Edgar Roy (Ryan Hurst) at the time of his death.
