As the opening episode introduced us to Clark Kent (Jack Quaid), the second-half of the premiere of My Adventures with Superman focuses on delivering us Superman. With a definite anime-styling, we see both young Clark and older Clark confront the buried alien ship that brought him Earth. While he abandoned a search for answers as a child, now his need to understand who he is forces him into the ship allowing him to unlock a costume obviously designed from the character’s New 52 run which Martha Kent (Kari Wahlgren) makes some immediate necessary aesthetic changes to before allowing her son out in the world.

After 10 seasons, The Blacklist comes to a close not with a bang but a whimper. The two-part finale involves the FBI hunting down their former confidential informant Raymond Reddington (James Spader) while others including Congressman Arthur Hudson (Toby Leonard Moore) continue to throw shade at the task force unintentionally allowing Red to escape. We get the arrest, and shooting, of Dembe (Hisham Tawfiq) along with the misdirection of Red in the first episode. Derrick Williams is added to the mix as the new person to not listen to the team and go off half-cocked, although his character has no resolution and is simply forgotten by the final half-hour.

Taborr (Trey Diaz Murphy) and his friends return for “The Junk Giant” as Kai Brightstar (Jamaal Avery Jr.) and Lys Solay (Juliet Donenfeld) discover they are responsible for the thefts from the local junk yard, building themselves a large droid to help with their schemes. While the Jedi fight off the droid, injuring it enough for Taborr to abandon it, in the end Kai takes the lesson he’s learned about objects having hidden value to heart and convinces the robot to turn to their side ultimately giving Jinara (Cree Summer) a new friend. Unfortunately, the structure of the episode means Nubs (Dee Bradley Baker) gets far less screentime than the Jedi, for the second adventure in a row, spending time cleaning up the junk yard while his friends get to have more fun.
