Take Two - Stillwater television review

In “Stillwater” Sam (Rachel Bilson) and Eddie (Eddie Cibrian) head into wine country and to a small town where a client believes his mother has been abducted by aliens.

Voltron - A Little Adventure TV review

After the Paladins’ epic victory of Lotor (A.J. LoCascio) that left the Castle of Lions destroyed and the Paladins stranded light years from home, its a bit odd that the show decides to kick-off its Seventh Season with a rather humdrum Honey, I Shrunk the Kids episode as most of the team is shrunk down to miniature size while searching for a precious mineral to re-power their lions. Meanwhile, Keith (Steven Yeun) chooses to stay with the unconscious Shrio (Josh Keaton) offering more flashbacks to how Shiro changed the rudderless course of a young Keith’s life including the pair’s first meeting. The character-driven flashbacks help balance out some of the main story’s goofier tone, but can’t save “A Little Adventure” from being one of Voltron‘s most forgettable (and largely pointless) episodes.
