Dragons: The Nine Realms – Dragons of the Undead

  • wiki: link

“Dragons of the Undead” is all about getting the shyest member of Dragon Club some confidence as Alex (Aimee Garcia) is forced to step-up after her dragon Feathers is kidnapped by what the kids mistake for a crowd of zombie dragons. The truth to the dragons turns out to be far different that what appearance may suggest. The look of the dragons works, even if that means we get stuck with D’Angelo (Marcus Scribner) thinking he might be turning into a zombie in what becomes the episode’s running gag. Thanks to Alex’s quick thinking, Feathers is saved, and their work together helps uncover the true nature of the strange dragons.

Legacies – Just Don’t Be a Stranger, Okay?

  • Title: Legacies – Just Don’t Be a Stranger, Okay?
  • wiki: link

After four seasons, Legacies comes to a close. The season had some ups and downs but finally delivered on Hope‘s (Danielle Rose Russell) big tribrid turn and returned several familiar faces from The Originals in “Everything That Can Be Lost May Also Be Found.” There was just one more thing fans were hoping to see. In the aftermath of the latest attack on the school, and the funeral for Ethan (Leo Howard), Alaric (Matthew Davis) considers closing the school much to the dismay of the Super Squad. Finding a familiar face in Limbo allows Ethan to move on to peace, Landon (Aria Shahghasemi) to get one more moment with Hope, and for the show to bring in Klaus Michaelson (Joseph Morgan) for a single appearance in the farewell episode.

Obi-Wan Kenobi – Part V

  • Title: Obi-Wan Kenobi – Part V
  • wiki: link

The writing for Obi-Wan Kenobi reminds me of that of WWE who consistently write themselves into a corner and have to write even worse outcomes to break the downward spiral they’ve trapped themselves in only to later complain they had no choice (other than, you know, not making the initial bad decisions that led them into such untenable situations). For Obi-Wan Kenobi the big takeaway appears to be that lightsabers are far less lethal than we’ve been led to believe. In a move that reeks of desperation after the discovery of a huge timeline mistake, Grand Inquisitor (Rupert Friend) returns. Turns out he’s fine. Lightsaber through the chest? Nah, that’s not enough to keep a good Sith down.

Kung Fu – The Source

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Kung Fu – The Source
  • wiki: link

Kung Fu wraps up its Second Season with Nicky (Olivia Liang) and Zhilan (Yvonne Chapman) follow Russell Tan (Ludi Lin) through a mystical door to Narni…, er, the Source (which turns out to look an awful lot like some of the woods the show has shot in before). All three meet ghosts that hinder their path (although you wonder why ghosts are trying to prevent Nicky and Zhilan from saving the realm from destruction). Mia (Vanessa Yao) follows as well, leading to a three-on-one fight against the super-powered Tan in an attempt to prevent him from escaping the crumbling realm with his new power. While not all three (apparently) survive, Zhilan is giving a bit of a redemptive hero moment in what may be her exit from the show.

Fairfax – Fairfax at Night

  • Title: Fairfax – Fairfax at Night
  • IMDb: link

Don’t be in too big a hurry to grow up seems to be the lesson of “Fairfax at Night.” The bizarre misadventures of middle school best-friends Dale (Skyler Gisondo), Derica (Kiersey Clemons), Benny (Peter S. Kim), and Truman (Jaboukie Young-White) continue in the show’s Second Season premiere where camping out overnight for the release of Off-Brian’s (Timothy Simons) new Tennis Ball Shoe leads to all kinds of problems for the kids. Before the night each will have their own bizarre adventure leading them back to Dale’s house with no shoes but certainly enough wacky experiences to cover their first night outing as a group.
