Arrow - Docket No. 11-19-41-73 television review

The day of Oliver Queen‘s (Stephen Amell) trial has arrived. As we saw in The Flash earlier this season, the trial will take only a single episode. Of course what makes this one different is Oliver is actually guilty of the crimes he’s been accused of and the entire Star City judicial system is under the thumb of Ricardo Diaz (Kirk Acevedo). While something of a mess, much like the trial itself, “Docket No. 11-19-41-73” works fairly well offering some surprises including the return of Christopher Chance (Wil Traval) resurrecting a First Season Arrow cast member to become the public face of the Green Arrow.

Red Sonja/Tarzan #1

Red Sonja/Tarzan #1 comic reviewDespite some similarities, Red Sonja and Tarzan aren’t characters that naturally fit together, knowing this writer Gail Simon sidesteps the rather important question of just how these two characters are brought together and instead focuses on the why and the reason for their team-up. The first issue of Red Sonja/Tarzan introduces both characters to a common enemy in the hunter Eson Duul.

We are shown separate sequences of Duul and his men beating a drunken Sonja in the streets and years (and dimensions) away Duul harming the African animals and locals of the area who Tarzan considers family. While Tarzan gets a small victory over the man, it leads to only further trouble with the hunter who pushes back hard against the Lord of the Jungle. It does seem our two protagonists have a common foe.

The Blacklist - Nicholas T. Moore television review

The Blacklist meets The Village in an odd episode of misdirection that sends Elizabeth (Megan Boone) on an investigation that leads back to a woodland cult built off a sci-fi novel while Reddington (James Spader) works on uncovering the whereabouts of the duffel bag. “Nicholas T. Moore” is a middling episode without either a Blacklister or any movement on the season’s larger mystery that wraps up Red’s “other daughter” subplot, leaves him no closer to his prize, and gets Novabi (Mozhan Marnò) captured possibly foreshadowing the death of yet another supporting character before season’s end. The later is likely to be the major focus of next week’s episode, while any movement on Red’s bag of secrets will likely be left for the season finale.

Legion - Chapter 13 television review

“Chapter 13” features two storylines that will eventually merge to the horror of our series protagonist, who doesn’t make his first appearance until more than halfway through the episode. While Oliver (Jemaine Clement) and the Shadow King (Navid Negahban) go on a road trip in search of a body, Division 3 deals with the sudden appearance of Lenny (Aubrey Plaza) who has no answers for Clark (Hamish Linklater) as to how she’s walking around again. Despite David‘s truce with the evil mutant, it appears the Shadow King can’t help but fuck with David who eventually sits down and talks with Lenny, slowly working out the truth of what happened to her and just whose body she’s now walking around in.
