Castle - Clear & Present Danger

Despite getting off to a shaky start this season, “Clear & Present Danger” begins a return to form for Castle that hopefully will continue throughout the rest of the year. Castle (Nathan Fillion) is overjoyed with the latest case involving a pool shark, a shadowy secret government agency, the Devil, and the Invisible Man, but Beckett (Stana Katic) focuses her attention on finding a plausible explanation of just how an invisible attacker killed his victim and attacked both her and Castle as well.

Morning Glories #41

/ / Comics

Morning Glories #41Quidditch time! Okay, so it’s not exactly wizards flying on broomsticks, but the latest issue of Morning Glories reveals that the school does have its own original sport for the students with specific rules and outcomes already predetermined. It’s Towerball time!

Focusing mostly on Guillaume who maneuvers himself to be the captain of the Blue Team (the team destined to lose), Morning Glories #41 continues showcasing another kind of effort the students use to fight back against the teachers and the mysterious Headmaster who has decreed that Red Team will always win… so what happens if one year it doesn’t?

I’ve got to say after 40 issues I’ve been on the fence about continuing to pick-up the intriguing, but meandering, series, but this issue sold me on the title for a least another month. Bring on Towerball! Worth a look.

The Focus Attenuation

Separate guys and girls weekends don’t go as planned for anyone involved as the ladies head off for a fun Las Vegas weekend leaving the boys distraction-free to work. Well, as it turns out, not so distraction-free. Although Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) and Amy (Mayim Bialik) have plenty of alcohol-induced fun on their own, Penny (Kaley Cuoco) isn’t so lucky staying in the hotel room the entire night boning up for a presentation.

Once Upon a Time - Rocky Road

The latest season of Once Upon a Time continues to deliver in unexpected ways as Marian (Christie Laing) being cursed by a freezing spell sends the entire town, already concerned about the ice wall surrounding Storybrooke, after Elsa (Georgina Haig) who they hold responsible. The truth is far more complicated which Emma (Jennifer Morrison) begins to suss out as Robin (Sean Maguire) asks Regina (Lana Parrilla) to do what she can to save his wife (but who is no longer the woman who holds his heart).
