Mr. Monk Meets Dale the Whale

Monk Monday takes us back to San Francisco and the toils of the defective detective Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) attempting to solve a case where he knows the who but cannot fathom the how. The who in this case is excessively obese Dale the Whale (Adam Arkin) who all evidence points to murdering a local judge he had disagreements with.

My Adventures with Superman - More Things in Heaven and Earth

The season premiere of My Adventures with Superman foreshadows Jimmy‘s (Ishmel Sahid) inevitable screw-up of Flamebird and sends our three intrepid reporters north to the crashed ship in the Arctic where Clark (Jack Quaid) will have a talk with his Ghost Dad (Jason Marnocha), Lois (Alice Lee) and Jimmy will run into Amanda Waller (Debra Wilson) and her goons, Lois will learn the fate of her father, and we see the creation of the Fortress of Solitude (well, sort of). When the show sticks with its primary characters and their relationships it continues to entertain, although it also struggles in terms of larger plot, villains, and giving Superman exciting things to do (other than beat up the same generic losers we saw last season).

Doctor Who - Boom

Inspired by a scene from “Genesis of the Daleks” where the Doctor extricates himself out of a landmine situation with relative ease, comes “Boom.” The Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) land in a battlefield on Kastarion 3 where the Doctor accidentally steps on a landmine and is forced to hold his position for the entire episode. It’s an interesting setup for an episode, as in many adventures it would be the companion, not the Doctor, to get themselves into a situation in need of saving.
