Avatar: The Last Airbender - Omashu / Into the Dark

Shuffling around events of the original series a bit, “Omashu” and “Into the Dark” provide Aang‘s (Gordon Cormier) journey into the Earth Kingdom where Aang, Sokka (Ian Ousley), and Katara (Kiawentiio) disagree over how to help the city’s fight against the Fire Nation. Here we get Jet (Sebastian Amoruso) whose scruffy rebel act hides a darker purpose and the conflict of the Mechanist (Danny Pudi) attempting to keep his city safe from harsher attacks from Fire Benders. Adapting parts of four different episodes and mashing them together, not unsurprisingly, turns out to not work all that well.

Lois & Clark - A Bolt from the Blue

Superman Sunday takes us back to that time a biodegradable golf club investor was imbued with the powers of Superman. Lightning has had an interesting role in Superman’s history and, like Kryptonite and magic, has plagued him in different ways from time to time.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch - The Return

“A Different Approach” picks up events with Omega (Michelle Ang) and Crosshair (Dee Bradley Baker) on the run together and the new pup teaching the old dog a few new tricks as Omega takes the lead in less murdery plans on getting back to the rest of the squad. It’s a nice little episode building the comradery of the two characters even more before delivering them to a remote location in time for a reunion.
