Superman & Lois - Through the Valley of Death TV review

Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) has surrendered to Morgan Edge (Adam Rayner) to protect his family. Now his Kryptonian half-brother is attempting to overwrite Superman’s mind with that of Zod creating a partner to destroy humanity and bring forth a new Krypton. I’m still a bit foggy on why Superman needed a brother and why Edge couldn’t be just any random Kryptonian. Up until this point the pair’s shared biology has played no significant role in the storyline. Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch) rallies the troops whose plan is not to save Superman but use John Henry Irons‘ (Wolé Parks) tech to kill them both.

The Mysterious Benedict Society - Carrying A Bird television review

The chosen orphans begin their assignment for Mr. Benedict (Tony Hale) who sends the foursome undercover to infiltrate the L.I.V.E. Institute which he believes is the source of the transmissions causing the Emergency. The school is no less peculiar than anywhere else the orphans have found themselves up to this point. The kids don’t learn much on their first day, other than a mysterious tower they are told not to approach. However, on day two they do meet the head of the institute leading to all kinds of questions considering how much he looks like someone they know. The episode highlights Sticky‘s (Seth Carr) knowledge of Morse Code as well as fill in a bit of both his backstory and that of Milligan (Ryan Hurst). And we discover Benedict’s belief that the annoying Constance (Marta Kessler) may be the key to the group’s success.

Rick and Morty - A Rickconvenient Mort television review

Remember that time Morty (Justin Roiland) fell in love with Captain Planet? That’s the basic idea of “A Rickconvenient Mort” when Morty falls for environmental super-hero Planetina (Alison Brie) who is brought forth by the not-so-teenage Tina-Teers using the four elemental rings to fight for the environment. Like all episodes dealing with Morty’s love life, things end poorly. The episode’s B-story features Rick (Roiland) replacing the absent Morty with Summer (Spencer Grammer) on a planet-hopping tour of three worlds all on the edge of annihilation.

Loki - Journey Into Mystery television review

In an episode that is named after the comic series that birthed the character, “Journey Into Mystery” offers one last slow tease laying the foundation for answers which can no only come in the series finale. Learning that Loki (Tom Hiddleston) isn’t dead, and trapped at some kind of purgatory at the end of time, Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) kills herself and join him there. Until she arrives, Loki isn’t without company as he encounters several other Lokis who war and trick each other for control and attempt to stay alive from the large smoke monster in the sky that can wipe someone from existence.
