Spider-Man - The Spider Slayer

Spidey Saturday takes us back to the 90s. The second episode of Marvel’s Spider-Man begins to flesh-out the cast of supporting and recurring characters including Norman Osborne (Neil Ross), and his silent partner the Kingpin (Roscoe Lee Browne), who hire Spencer Smythe (Edward Mulhare) and his son Alistair (Maxwell Caulfield) to build him technology to kill Spider-Man (Christopher Daniel Barnes). First, we see the Spider Seekers capable of tracking Spider-Man, and later we see Smythe’s more deadly creation, the Black Widow, in action.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians - The Prophecy Comes True

Percy Jackson and the Olympians concludes with an episode that offer short confrontations between Percy (Walker Scobell) and Ares (Adam Copeland) on Earth and Percy and Zeus (Lance Reddick) in Olympus before winding down the adventure with a whimper. We also get moments of Percy with his father and his resurrected mother. While his arc does gain him recognition in the magical community, and allow him to put skills to the test, things overall don’t change with the gods still meddling in the lives of mortals to their own ends and Percy leaving Camp Half-Blood and returning home until called upon for his next adventure. It’s an underwhelming finale for an underwhelming season. At least the show is consistent.

The Irrational - Cheating Life

The hit-and-run death of a former scientist turned fitness guru he once knew leads Alec Mercer (Jesse L. Martin) to look into discovering the man’s death was no accident (although it will take longer than the audience to come to the logical conclusion of what really happened). The show continues to play down the roles of Phoebe (Molly Kunz) and Owen (Arash DeMaxi), with Kylie (Travina Springer) playing shotgun for her brother rather than one of his assistants, while also limiting Alec’s interactions with the FBI to a single scene (sadly they still get their own subplots which continues to spin their wheels).
