Batman - True or False Face / Holy Rat Race

In honor of Batman‘s 75th Anniversary we continue to look back at the more memorable moments of the 1966 Batman TV-series starring Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin. Based on an adventure in Batman #113, False Face (the uncredited Malachi Throne) would make his only appearance in the show in the two-parter “True or False Face” and “Holy Rat Race.” After stealing the Mergenberg Crown the master of disguise attempts an armored car heist, prepares to replace millions with conterfeit money, and lures the Dynamic Duo into a death trap in the Gotham City subway. Along the way False Face will take on several temporary personas including impersonating both Chief O’Hara (Stafford Repp) and Commissioner Gordon (Neil Hamilton).

Star Wars Rebels - The Complete First SeasonSet five years prior to the events of the original Star Wars, Star Wars Rebels introduces us to the motley crew of the Ghost: ship’s captain Hera (Vanessa Marshall), Mandalorian artist and explosives expert Sabine (Tiya Sircar), Zeb (Steven Blum), insane robot Chopper, Jedi in hiding Kanan (Freddie Prinze Jr.), and the newest member of the crew in thief turned padawan-in-training Ezra (Taylor Gray).

Capturing the feel of the original film while introducing us to an entirely new set of characters (and a few familiar faces). I was immediately hooked. Highlights of the First Season include the two-part season premiere, the arrival of Grand Moff Tarkin (Stephen Stanton), Ezra earning his lightsaber, Empire Day, the battle against The Inquisitor (Jason Isaacs), the introduction of a familiar scoundrel, a look inside the Imperial Academy, and the season finale which brings back a pair of familiar faces who will likely have a large impact on Season Two.

Rookie Blue - 74 Epiphanies

The Sixth Season (and possibly the entire series) comes to a close with the wedding of Andy (Missy Peregrym) and Sam (Ben Bass), and the day is not without the added drama fans have come to expect from the show over the past six years. Despite the various obstacles, the pair eventually get their journey down the aisle completing the arc of the show’s longest running relationship. The officers of 15 Division also gets some good news as the core group learns they will all be staying together (whether or not the show comes back for a Seventh Season).
