Danger Man - Deadline television review

Throwback Thursday takes us back into the Cold War spycraft of Danger Man. John Drake (Patrick McGoohan) heads to Victoria Bassaland in Africa where an exiled leader is stirring up riots and protest by framing the government for the death of his wife’s (Barbara Chilcott) uncle. Posing as a gun runner, Drake is able to get an audience with Saul Khano (William Marshall) and turn the man’s conflicted wife against her husband. “Deadlline” is notable for the large Black cast and the villain getting the drop on our hero who only survives his time in Africa thanks to the timely intervention of the man’s wife.

Once and Future #11

/ / Comics

Once and Future #11 comic reviewAfter killing Beowulf, who Merlin and Zombie Arthur sent after them by tricking the legendary hero into doing their bidding, Duncan and his grandmother are forced to deal with Grendel who attacks Bridgette‘s retirement community creating quite a mess.

Duncan arrives in time to help, much to the chagrin of his driver and the local police who are not happy about the inexplicable situation, but it’s Bridgette who strikes the killing blow as she expertly slices off the monster’s arm with the help of the groundskeeper’s chainsaw. The sight of the bloody senior citizen wielding a chainsaw against a mythical beast creates the issue’s lasting image. However, even after making sure the poem can continue without its hero, things aren’t quite finished just yet. Remember, Grendel had a mother.

Super Dinosaur - The Legend of the Ghost Lizard television review

Derek (Valin Shinyei), Dexter (Alessandro Juliani), and Super Dinosaur (Mac Heywood) take a camping trip where they discover a mysterious Ghost Lizard and a temple revealing history about a race of Lizard Men who once walked across the Earth before sealing themselves in Inner Earth. The only appearance of the Dino-Men in the episode is the pre-credit action sequence in which Derek and SD return with DynOre as the rest of the episode features the trio camping, getting chased by a holographic defense mechanism that at first looks like a ghost, and discovering new information about the inhabitants of Inner Earth. Dexter also returns from the trip with evidence suggesting Max Maximus (Marco Soriano) was telling the truth about his forgotten wife.

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous - Camp Cretaceous television review

The first episode of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous introduces us to Darius Bowman (Paul-Mikél Williams) and five other teens who become the initial guests of the new Camp Cretaceous attraction in Jurassic World. The parents, willing to send their kids unsupervised to a dinosaur murder park, are nowhere to be found. Bad decisions appear to be genetic, as it takes less than a single episode for Darius to get himself and two walking cliches in the douchey rich kid (Ryan Potter) and the perky social influencer (Jenna Ortega) into serious trouble. Much of the early scenes are in awkward first-person perspective as they focus on Darius’ attempting to win a ticket to the camp by being the first to beat a video game. Thankfully the view ends once Darius wins his ticket so he can get into real trouble half a world away.
