Remington Steele - Steeling the Show TV review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to the 80s detective show Remington Steele. Steele (Pierce Brosnan) throws a wrench into the agency’s latest case when the daughter (Frances Lee McCain) of a famous B-movie actress (Bibi Osterwald) hires the firm to find her missing mother. Playing up the woman’s senility, the daughter hopes to end her mother’s ill-conceived return to the silver screen. Steele, more than a little taken with one of his favorite actresses, believes the woman’s story about someone wanting to kill her and keeps the team on the case even after the actress is thrown in the looney bin for the murder of a publicist (Richard Backus) digging into the woman’s past.

Silver Surfer: Black #3

/ / Comics

Silver Surfer: Black #3 comic reviewStill lost at the other end of a void, separated from his proper place in space and time, Norrin Radd will make a new friend and a dangerous discovery in Silver Surfer: Black #3 that will tie back to his past and the universe’s future.

The third issue of the mini-series allows the Silver Surfer to take his respite, as the continued use of his powers has led to trouble for our hero, and get to know a little more about Ego (who has its own trouble in a meteor that crashed deep within the living planet’s core). Providing assistance to Ego, in return for the help the planet has given him, will lead to a dangerous discovery deep at the planet’s core where Norrin Radd will discover the incubator of Galactus (the creature who has ravaged the universe for eons and is also resposinble for Radd’s transformation into the first Herald).

Charlie's Angels - The Seance TV review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to the tale of three beautiful former police detectives turned private detectives working for a faceless boss known as Charlie. Investigating a string of robberies leads the Angels back their client’s (Gertrude Flynn) spiritual advisor (Carole Cook). While the con woman isn’t the source of the robberies, her silent partner (Rene Auberjonois) is, and he has found a way to hypnotize his subjects to both make the seances more dramatic and to instruct his victims into delivering high-priced jewelry to him. While the woman’s seances are laughable, her partner’s use of hypnotism is anything but.

Killjoys - Three Mutineers television review

Alliances continue to shift in “Three Mutineers” as Dutch (Hannah John-Kamen) struggles to deal with backstabbing convicts and murderous envoys. Johnny (Aaron Ashmore) on the other hand makes a new friend (Rachael Ancheril) and puts Nucy to work to get the Killjoys a new ship. By the end of the episode the Killjoys have all made it out alive, have a way back to Westerly, tricked the Lady into thinking that they are dead, and Dutch and Johnny have (thankfully) put hurt feelings and bruised pride aside just in time to continue the fight of their lives. Not bad for an hour’s work.

Batman & the Outsiders #4

/ / Comics

Batman & the Outsiders #4 comic reviewBatman & the Outsiders #4 offers the calm before the storm as Ra’s al Ghul bends Sofia Ramos to his will and the Outsiders lick their wounds and gearing up to jump into the fray once more. The issue offers an allusion, if not a full explanation, about why Batman isn’t joining the team on this mission. I’m guessing that the comic is referring to events tied to City of Bane, but honestly can’t be sure as writer Bryan Edward Hill vagues this up as much as possible. Whatever the reason, it appears the Outsiders are on their own.

Despite the storyline feeling stalled throughout the entire issue, are a few moments of interest including Batman’s conversation with Black Lightning, the comic explaining Katana‘s relationship to her sword (and the love trapped inside), and a nice moment of Cassandra offering comfort to Signal.
