After an exta-long layoff Psych finally returns for Season Six. “Shawn Rescues Darth Vader” wouldn’t have been my choice for the series premiere (it’s a little lacking in the zaniness department at times), but it does provide one great scene between psychic detective Shawn Spencer (James Roday), Head Detective Carlton Lassiter (Timothy Omundson), and a lie detector. Not only must Shawn answer truthfully about his psychic abiities but his consternation at the entire preceding forces him to blurt out the depths of his feelings for Juliet (Maggie Lawson) in front of the entire cast.

  • Title: Luther – Series Two, Episode Three
  • tv.com: link

“He’s not a dirty copper. He’s a man over a barrel. That’s a completely different thing.”

Luther (Idris Elba) was successful in freeing Jenny (Aimee-Ffion Edwards) from the prostitution ring, but that victory came with a price (more than just the nail driven through his hand). The detective finds himself blackmailed by Toby (David Dawson) to procure information about a competitor of the Baba gang. When Luthor is overseen taking classified files from the chief’s office by Gray (Nikki Amuka-Bird) we know things are going to get more complicated before they’re resolved. Then again, this is an episode of Luther we’re talking about, did you expect anything less?

The discovery of the body of a college student shot and left at a construction site becomes much more than a typical homicide when the ballistics comes back identifying Detective Kevin Ryan’s (Seamus Dever) gun as the murder weapon. This is the same weapon that was taken from him last year by the 3XK serial killer (Michael Mosley) before he escaped.

Triumvirate of Terror!

The intro segment is pure Silver Age foolishness (hey, I’m not complaining!) featuring the JLI battling the Legion of Doom in a baseball game called by Jimmy Olsen (Alexander Polinsky). Things look bleak for our heroes until Batman (Diedrich Bader) gives the team a rousing pep talk in the bottom of the Ninth about winning the game for the young kids watching in the stands like little Julie Schwatz and Frankie Miller (nice touch). And if that’s not enough the segment ends the only possible way it could, with a Bat-Man pun. Classic!
