Warehouse 13 - The Sky's the Limit television review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to a top-secret storage facility in South Dakota known as Warehouse 13. “The Sky’s the Limit” offers three stories as Pete (Eddie McClintock) and Myka (Joanne Kelly) are sent to Las Vegas in search of an artifact causing people to fall out of the sky, Claudia (Allison Scagliotti) and Jinks (Aaron Ashmore) head to England for an artifact killing horse jockeys, and back at the Warehouse the Regents send a new owner for the Bed and Breakfast (Kelly Hu), who also happens to be a psychotherapist, to offer some help to the troubled Artie (Saul Rubinek). The Vegas trip leads back to an elderly magician (Joel Grey) and his granddaughter (Nora Zehetner) who has finally discovered a bit of real magic (although it comes with some murderous side-effects).

Star Trek: Discovery - Su'Kal television review

The final arc of Star Trek: Discovery‘s Third Season begins with an episode named after the character the ship finds on planet at the epicenter of the Burn. For more than a hundred years, Su’Kal (Bill Irwin) has lived inside a radioactive nebula surrounding an entire world of Dilithium. The sheltered character reacts poorly the arrival of strangers Michael (Sonequa Martin-Green), Saru (Doug Jones), and Dr. Culber (Wilson Cruz) who he takes for programs of the deteriorating holodeck which has been his entire world. Unable to understand the concept of “outside,” his extraction becomes complicated. Circumstances aren’t helped with the arrival of Osyraa (Janet Kidder) and the Emerald Chain.

MacGyver - Quarantine + N95 + Landline + Telescope + Social Distance television review

Team MacGyver deals with the quarantine in “Quarantine + N95 + Landline + Telescope + Social Distance” which offers a look at how Mac (Lucas Till), Bozer (Justin Hires), and Riley (Tristin Mays) have been spending their free time. In a not-so-subtle Rear Window homage, Bozer sees what he believes to be a murder of one of their neighbors. Initially it appears that he is mistaken, but there’s more going on as the neighbors have been taken prisoner by a gang hoping to use the couple’s son to steal from a mall that has been shutdown during the quarantine. The episode makes good use of quarantine conditions to further the plot and involves the unusual invention of a temporary invisibility cloak which allows Team MacGyver to get close to the criminals and rescue their hostage.

Charlie's Angels - Angel Flight television review

Throwback Thursday takes us back to the tale of three beautiful former police officers turned private detectives working for a faceless boss known as Charlie. When an old friend (Fawne Harriman) of Sabrina (Kate Jackson) reaches out for help, the Angels set out to find who is harassing the stewardess. Kris (Cheryl Ladd) and Kelly (Jaclyn Smith) go undercover as new trainees while Sabrina plays herself, just an old friend in town for a few days. Despite the skill we’ve seen up until this point, the Angels miss some vital clues about the value of the experimental auto-pilot system the airline is launching with their training flight. It’s almost too late before they learn one of the pilots is attempting to steal the plane with the unwitting help of Sabrina’s friend.

Prodigal Son - Alma Mater television review

“Alma Mater” sends Malcolm (Tom Payne) back to the boarding school where he attempted to remake himself to help solve the murder of the headmaster who expelled him. The episode presents three cheating students (Lily Ganser, Arthur Langlie, and Salena Qureshi) with obvious motive not only for the crime but the prankish presentation of the body, although a late redirect works as a red herring. It also allows Malcolm to revisit the cause of a vicious attack he suffered as a student and raise questions about what led to a traumatic event that followed. The episode is most notable for flashbacks which reveal the source of Malcolm’s hand tremor, which has been a staple of the show, while also highlighting the similarities and differences between Malcolm and his father. Speaking of dear old dad, the Surgeon’s (Michael Sheen) plans on escape take one giant step forward thanks to the help of one of his fellow inmates.
