Batman - The Ring of Wax / Give 'Em the Axe TV review

For Throwback Thursday we take a look back at another episode of the classic 1966 Batman TV-series starring Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin. Wax is the name of the game in this two-parter which features the return of the Riddler (Frank Gorshin) who smuggles in a new Universal Wax Solvent into the country inside a wax replica of himself. After causing a scene at the Gotham wax museum, the Riddler makes off with his prize which he plans to put to good use. Following clues left at the scene of the crime, the Dynamic Duo head to the public library where they run into a very sticky situation (so to speak). The next time Batman and Robin catch up with the Riddler things don’t go any better as they are left hanging over a vat of boiling wax in the cliffhanger scene.

Beyond - Fancy Meeting You Here TV review

“Fancy Meeting You Here” offers likely the final appearance of Emilija Baranac as Holden‘s (Burkely Duffield) new crush Jaime as a double date with Luke (Jonathan Whitesell) and his girlfriend (Jacky Lai) ends in another of coma boy’s freak-out sessions. While one door opens, a car accident following his meltdown jump-starts his memory and pushes Holden back into the arms of Willa (Dilan Gwyn), although still unaware of her true motivations. His desire to not return to the Realm and rash decision to end the episode is likely going to have consequences for both of them next week.

Lucifer - Love Handles television review

Now that Chloe (Lauren German) appears to be all-in and ready to start a relationship, Lucifer (Tom Ellis) is confounded the detective’s change of heart and begins to pull back leading to some awkward moments between the pair. With things not progressing quickly enough, Mum (Tricia Helfer) decides to break the news to her son about the detective’s divine birth. It’s an odd choice, as Lucifer and Chloe seem to be back on track until the intervention with Mum and a conflicted Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt). Now the question becomes where do the potential lovebirds go from here? Of course, they do have a far more pressing problem to deal with first.
