Hawaii Five-0 - Na hala a ka makua

McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) and Danny (Scott Caan) are kidnapped by a con man (Michael Madsen) who escaped custody immediately following his conviction for murder and sentence to life in prison without parole. While driving the gun-wielding fugitive (who at one point even threatens to make Danny’s daughter listen to her father die) the pair learn that despite the prosecution’s open-and-shut case their abductor might actually have been framed.

The Flash #27

/ / Comics

The Flash #27Writer Brian Buccellato delves into the Flash‘s past with the discovery of grave filled with the victims of the city’s serial killer from two decades ago. Barry does a little investigating on his own and discovers the timeline and the man’s choice of victim point to what he believes may be the real killer behind his mother’s murder (which his father is still serving a jail sentence for).

First, although I’m still missing those beautiful splash pages from Francis Manapul, I want to thank artist Patrick Zircher for the minimalist approach to the New 52 version of our hero’s costume by only filling in the yellow piping when the Flash is in action. I can actual enjoy looking at the character again!

I don’t need Barry Allen needs a dark origin story help round him out as a character, but the issue does a good job of showcasing the drive that was born in him years ago. Although the reactions his captain and his father make me wonder if the comic is going to make his father ultimately responsible for the murder, I’m still holding out hope for Professor Zoom. Worth a look.

Sherlock - His Last Vow

Well that… kinda sucked. Following a messy, but thoroughly enjoyable, episode, Stephen Moffat dives into his old bag of tricks for the season finale which features Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) in defeat, morphs Watson‘s (Martin Freeman) new bride Mary (Amanda Abbington) into the Holmes’ equivalent of River Song (Alex Kingston), and offers yet another super-villain who is arguably both smarter and more dangerous than Moriarty (Andrew Scott). Oh, and I should mention Holmes fails to solve the case.

Atlantis - Hunger Pangs

The latest episode of Atlantis is even goofier than usual (one of the characters actually lights himself on fire on purpose) as a starving Jason (Jack Donnelly) steals and eats meat from a shrine to the goddess Hecate. Pythagoras (Robert Emms) and Hercules (Mark Addy) become increasingly concerned with their friend’s odd behavior which includes waking up nude in an animal pen every morning. In an attempt to cure their friend, Pythagoras calls on the help of  Princess Ariadne (Aiysha Hart) to acquire the silver necessary in breaking the curse.
