Delicious in Dungeon - Living Armor

Living Armor would see an odd choice for a group of adventures who enjoying eating their kills in the dungeon but the walking  suits of armor are the creature of the episode as Laios (Damien C. Haas) discovers the armor isn’t animated by magic, as everyone assumes, but by creatures living inside. While the others keep the various armor busy, Laios defeats the leader learning the secret of the creatures and discovering yet another delicacy one can only find in the dungeon. “Living Armor” also fills in a bit of the knight’s backstory.

Masters of the Universe: Revolution - Even for Kings

Spinning out of the events of Masters of the Universe: Revelation, the opening episode of Masters of the Universe: Revolution kicks off with a fan-friendly opening battle sequence featuring He-Man (Chris Wood) and several recognizable characters in Subternia fighting to free the souls of fallen friends from Scare Glow (Tony Todd) whose design I still find unfortunately too similar to one of, if not the, most recognizable characters of the franchise. Honestly, there’s not much reason for the likes of Snout Spout, Ram Man, and Buzz Off to be included here other than a bit of fan service for those who collected those figures, but it does deliver a big battle to kick off the new series.

Reacher - Fly Boy

Reacher concludes its satisfying Second Season opening with Reacher (Alan Ritchson), O’Donnell (Shaun Sipos) and Dixon (Serinda Swan) getting tortured while Neagley (Maria Sten) and some Senatorial support stage a rescue attempt. The ensuing shoot-out ends with Langston (Robert Patrick) fleeing and Reacher (in cliched action heroics) hanging off the edge of wheel of a helicopter before climbing onboard, fighting off the gun men, saving his friends, and makings sure Langston meets the same fate his friend. It all works out quite well, with more action still yet to come.

Citadel - Time Renders Us Enemies / Time Renders Us Enemies

After giving us the hard sell on Nadia (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) as the mole who brought down Citadel, the final two episodes clear her leaving only one real suspect. “Time Renders Us Enemies” focuses on flashbacks showing the romance between Nadia and Mason Kane (Richard Madden), the secret that broke their trust, and what she was really up to after disappearing from Citadel. All the little clues which seemed to point to her betrayal are explained away as her hiding a pregnancy from Mason.

Zorro - The Bet

“The Bet” feels like a very traditional episode of Zorro while also looping in another group of people often overlooked during the years of Zorro’s adventures. After her sister Mei (Chacha Huang) is lost in a game of poker to an unscrupulous local landowner, a young woman turns to Zorro to help. The humor from the episode comes from not knowing exactly how to contact him, and even after the pair come together, how to communicate with each other which is where Bernardo (Paco Tous) comes in.
