Invincible - A Lesson For Your Next Life

Season Two of Invincible kicks off with a confusing opening sequence (making me wonder if I’d forgotten how Season One actually ended) with Invincible (Steven Yeun)  and Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons) working together to prepare Earth for the arrival of the Viltrumites and grind what limited resistance remains on the planet to dust (which includes the brutal paralyzation of one of Mark’s former friends). The extended opener is revealed to be an alternate reality, one of several where Mark chose to partner with his father rather than stand-up to him, and then we’re thrown back into Mark’s reality where his attempts to get to normal and but his father’s betrayal behind him have had mixed results.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters - Secrets and Lies

In another strong episode, “Secrets and Lies” gives us Cate (Anna Sawai), Kentaro (Ren Watabe), and May (Kiersey Clemons) making their way out of Japan with Lee (Kurt Russell) and their journey to Alaska to search for answers about what exactly Hiroshi Randa was doing there before his disappearance and what ultimately happened to him. While building some camaraderie between our explorers, the series continues to foreshadow more than one of them are holding onto secrets which obviously won’t stay secret for the entirety of the journey. The episode ends on a cliffhanger for our group who will be spending a little more time in Alaska than they planned.

Rick and Morty - Rickfending Your Mort

Rick and Morty lampoon clip shows with “Rickfending Your Mort” when Morty‘s (Harry Belden) attempts to get an unengaged Rick (Ian Cardoni) back into action end up in an argument needing a mediator to solve. Obviously designed off of Star Trek‘s Guardian of Forever, the Observers view and recall all which provides some ammunition for both characters to fight with (and plenty of clicks of unseen adventures) until both Rick and Morty grow tired of the concept and can’t get rid of the Observer who starts showing anything it wants, humiliating various members of the family. After accidentally killing the Observer, Rick and Morty find themselves on trail for murder on its home world which, of course, means a whole new set of clips.
