The Blacklist - Nachalo / Konets TV review

It wasn’t that long ago that I checked in on The Blacklist and found Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone) obsessed with destroying Raymond Reddington (James Spader). The pair’s love/hate relationship comes to a close in the final two episodes of the show’s Eighth Season which also marks Boone’s exit from the show. While the show never fully commits to delivering Elizabeth Keen the answers about her parents and Red’s true identity in so many words, much can be gleaned from what is suggested in these final two episodes. In “Nachalo,” Red delivers Liz into the heart of the Blacklist and offers more information about her mother. And in “Konets,” the ailing Red decides to sacrifice himself by offering Liz all the answers she seeks if she kills him and assumes control of his organization.

Kung Fu - Isolation television review

Nicky (Olivia Liang), Henry (Eddie Liu), and Evan (Gavin Stenhouse) head into the Canadian wilderness on the single clue Nicky has to her missing aunt’s last known location. Although she doesn’t find who she was looking for, Nicky does find what her aunt left behind which may help fill in some of the gaps, answer some of her questions, and prepare her for what is to come. Elsewhere, Zhilan (Yvonne Chapman) and Kerwin Tan (Ludi Lin) grow to trust each other a little more and agree to work together to gather the remaining weapons (including those Kerwin’s father has already acquired).

Loki - Lamentis television review

After a brief stop at the TVA, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and his better looking variant self going by the name of Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) find themselves trapped on a world about to be destroyed in one of the apocalypses the female Loki had saved on her TemPad. “Lamentis,” named after the doomed planet which the two Lokis have no way of escaping, offers an odd couple pairing as we see the various ways the pair are similar yet different from one another as they try one desperate plan after another to escape their fate. And in a reveal that shocks Loki, he learns that everyone (not just himself) who works for the TVA is a time variant (although most seem completely oblivious to the truth). “Lamentis” isn’t the best episode of the series yet, but it does offer its share of fun moments involving Loki spending a little time with themselves. With the destruction of the world immenent, it’s likely the series will shake things up yet again offering something new for its fourth episode.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch - Replacements television review

Given the damage to their ship, the Bad Batch (all voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) crash land on Ordo Moon. Their repairs are slowed by a Moon Dragon stealing one of the ship’s parts leading Hunter and Omega (Michelle Ang) heading after the beast on their own. As to what the rest of the crew does in the meantime and why more don’t go in search for the only thing which will allow them to take off from the barren moon before they run out of supplies and oxygen… that’s not exactly clear. But, hey, Wrecker does build Echo her own room, so, you know, time well spent. The storyline allows Echo to act on her own, and prove herself to Hunter (which couldn’t be done had the other members joined in the search), while continuing to foreshadow there is something special about this young clone.

His plan is to create an army of hybrid Sara’s to conquer the galaxy. The clone, it turns out, isn’t so keen on that plan. As Sara works to escape, with the help of Rory (Dominic Purcell) and clones of her girlfriend, light years away her actual girlfriend grieves for her loss and her teammates prepare to do something stupid.
