Scorpion – The Complete First Season
- Title: Scorpion – Season One
- wiki: link
Based loosely on the real experiences of a group of geniuses helping the United States Government solve crimes and save the world, the First Season of Scorpion introduces us to Walter O’Brien‘s (Elyes Gabel) unorthodox team of Happy (Jadyn Wong), Toby (Eddie Kaye Thomas), Sylvester (Ari Stidham), Homeland Security agent Cabe Gallo (Robert Patrick), and Paige (Katharine McPhee) – a waitress who proves to be the missing ingredient needed to make the group successful.
Highlights of the First Season include the team heads to Las Vegas, prevents a nuclear meltdown, is forced to go through psychological tests, track a bio-hacker, protect Cabe’s ex-wife (Jessica Tuck), stop terrorists planning to release a poisonous gas, save the lives of CIA witnesses who are endangered by Ralph‘s (Riley B. Smith) involvement in a video game, attempt to prevent a war, take an unexpected road trip, break into a lab controlled by a mad man, and save Walter’s life in the season finale.

Jumanji Reloaded
- Title: Zathura: A Space Adventure
- IMDb: link
Danny (Jonah Bobo) and Walter (Josh Hutcherson) are brothers left alone by their father (Tim Robbins) one afternoon, with their older sister Lisa (Kristen Stewart) ignoring them upstairs. Walter is the the bullying older brother who has outgrown Danny and thinks of himself as more mature than his little brother. Danny finds an old board game in the basement. Zathura is a game about space travel and to win you must be the first to the end. After Danny pushes the button the boys are trapped in the game as all sorts of things start to go wrong: meteor showers, spaceships full of Zorgons, the cryogenic freezing of their sister, a malfunctioning robot, and a stranded astronaut.
One of the best decisions in this movie is to center the movie on the boys and their reactions to what is happening. The director gets the bickering of brothers so good that in parts I wanted to pull out my hair to stop the whining. Kudos, but I wish you had turned it down just slightly.

Blindspot – Pilot
- Title: Blindspot – Pilot
- wiki: link
Created by Martin Gero, Blindspot opens with a strong visual that sets up an extremely shaky premise for an ongoing series as an naked amnesiac whose body is covered in tattoos is discovered in the middle of Times Square. Clues from Jane Doe‘s (Jaimie Alexander) tattoos lead to the involvement of Agent Kurt Weller (Sullivan Stapleton) on her case and prevent a terrorist attack in a (rather cheap) stage set of the Statue of Liberty. Just who Jane is, what her connection to Kurt is, and why his name appears so prominently on her largest tattoo are but three unanswered questions the show will no doubt continue to tease audiences with over the course of the season.

Batman ’66 #25
- Title: Batman ’66 #25
- Comic Vine: link
- Writers: Jeff Parker, Gabriel Soria
- Artists: Lukas Ketner, Ty Templeton
Mashing up the classic and current versions of the character with a 60s take that fits the old television show, Batman ’66 #25 introduces the world to its version of Harley Quinn complete with roller skates, giant hammer, and a new version of her classic black-and-red costume. After introducing the good doctor two years ago in Batman ’66 #11, issue #25 gives us the first appearance of “the Harlequin” who begins terrorizing Gotham City with a series of madcap crimes including stealing the Bat Phone and putting together her own gang (which is where the Dynamic Duo finally catch up with the new villain).
