Sherlock & Daughter – The Last Dance

  • Title: Sherlock & Daughter – The Last Dance
  • IMDb: link

With no word on if the characters will return for another season, Sherlock & Daughter comes to a close with an episode wrapping up most of the season’s threads, although it does leave one dangling should the show get picked up for another season. The question of Amelia’s (Blu Hunt) paternity is put to rest once and for all as Holmes admits his relationship to Amelia’s mother.

Returning with new episodes for the first time in a decade, “Summer Block Buster” kicks of a new summer vacation for Phineas (Vincent Martella) and Ferb (David Errigo Jr.) with a musical number at the end of the day of the last day of school. Returning home, the pair and their friends make way for the neighborhood’s block party creating multiple inventions including a giant Whack-a-Pest, a giant dart balloon game, a giant cotton candy machine, and flying bumper cars. At the same time Doofenshmirtz (Dan Povenmire) has come out of retirement and his latest invention leads to trouble all around when the Vaporizer-inator hits Linda (Caroline Rhea) turning her into a giant cloud.

Bob’s Burgers – Snackface

While Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) and Linda (John Roberts) deal with a computer issue which provides some enjoyment bringing back the kind of strip mall one-man computer repair shop that you don’t see much of anymore, the bulk of “Snackface” follows Louise (Kristen Schaal), Gene (Eugene Mirman), and Tina (Dan Mintz) creating the new ultimate snack they sell at school. It’s a fun take on the crazy things kids will eat (and also attempt to get away with under the noses of adults) with a twist involving the obsessed Millie (Molly Shannon) joining the team, although not for the reasons the Belchers expect.

The Librarians: The Next Chapter – And the Dance of Doom

  • Title: The Librarians: The Next Chapter – And the Dance of Doom

Following the premiere, the first episode with no crossover from previous Librarian movies or shows gives us Vikram Chamberlain (Callum McGowan) leading the team to the opera where the rosin on a pair of opera shoes have put the lead dancer in the hospital. Discovering this is all the work of a witch, the group splits up until her identity is revealed with Lysa (Olivia Morris) and Connor (Bluey Robinson) distracting the witch (Arielle Dombasle) while Vikram makes a small but vital change to the ballet’s performance that prevents the ritual from completing and turning the magic back on the witch to the stunned audience (who I guess thought it was all part of the show?).

Rand al’Thor‘s (Josha Stradowski) journey continues across the Ariel Waste with their new guides who lead them to the city of Rhuidean. While he and Moiraine Damodred (Rosamund Pike) are permitted entry where they will face challenges to prove their worth. While Rand walks through a the past, living through generations of his timeline and learning about his parents, the creation of the city of the clouds, and the oath sworn long ago and how it was broken, Moiraine has visions of many possible futures. While we spend the bulk of time with Rand, we only see flashes of Moiraine’s visions which include a possible romance with Rand and several timelines which end at the hands of Lanfear (Natasha O’Keeffe) who we notably also see in Rand’s past vision as well. Aviendha (Ayoola Smart), who has avoided her true path for too long, also takes a similar journey through the rings as Moiraine (although we are not privy to her visions).
