New Amsterdam - Death Begins in Radiology TV review

It’s been awhile since I’ve checked in on New Amsterdam, but the show’s Third Season finale offers an opportune time to do so by providing separate vignettes centered around the various core characters of the show. The theme of love play a prominent role in each one of the separate stories, although I was partial to those involving Dr. Helen Sharpe (Freema Agyeman) and Dr. Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) eventually finding their way to each other after dealing with their own frantic series of events (his missing wedding ring, her family drama back in England). It’s about time.

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #282

/ / Comics

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #282 comic reviewThe Joes are called in front of a Senate Hearing to justify their actions in Springfield in saving Throwdown (AKA the new original Snake Eyes). What they don’t know is that one of the Senators is a Cobra sympathizer (broadcasting the entire event to Cobra Commander) and another of the Senators is unwittingly a brainwashed sleeper agent who Cobra attempts to trigger during the testimony.

Highlander - The Hunters television review

Throwback Thursday takes us back to a man born in the Highlands of Scotland more than 400 years ago and a murderous game between sword-wielding immortals where there can be only one. The final episode of Highlander‘s First Season offers a turning point for the show. Although they won’t be named or begin having their mythology explored until the next season’s premiere, “The Hunters” introduces the Watchers (humans who have watched and chronicled the exploits of immortals for generations). The ones introduced here are far less passive than the rest of the organization as they hunt down and kill immortals hoping to prevent a winner of the Gathering from garnering enough power to rule mankind. Darius (Werner Stocker, who only appears in flashbacks and existing footage as he was too ill make a final appearance on the show) becomes their latest victim, as the show says farewell to one of its longest recurring characters but also introduces a new one in Hugh Fitzcairn (Roger Daltrey), an old friend of MacLeod‘s (Adrian Paul) who helps look into the group hunting them (and later needs Duncan to rescue him).
