Super Dinosaur - Multi-Player television review

Derek‘s (Valin Shinyei) recklessness gets him into trouble when he rewires the training simulator to allow them to play their favorite video game (which has been referenced several times on the show so far) virtually as the perfect birthday gift for his best friend. Disabling the safety protocols, Derek traps himself, Super Dinosaur (Mac Heywood), and Erica (Shannon Chan-Kent) inside the game. “Multi-Player” has some fun with the video game construct, allowing for the players to fight in the virtual environment while also showing the audience what the game looks like from the outside which we see from Bruce (Brian Dobson) and Sarah’s (Kathleen Barr) perspective when they take over the kids’ avatars to help them through the dangerous final level. While a bit unintentional, the game works well as a team building exercise and teaches Derek the importance of thinking through possible consequences to his sometimes risky plans.

Street Hawk - The Adjuster television review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back in time to when a motorcycle cop turned vigilante helped keep the streets of Los Angeles safe on an experimental bike known as Street Hawk. A cop from New York (Marjoe Gortner) arrives in town to extradite an embezzler (Milt Oberman) who Street Hawk helped take down while attempting to buy stolen gems. Jesse (Rex Smith) immediately clashes with the other cop’s style, which gets increasingly violent once the embezzler manages to escape. Britt Helfer has a small role as a waitress who shows interest in Norman (Joe Regalbuto). Sadly, she wouldn’t return.

Commander Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) arrives in the year 3188 to find life which proves the gambit to stop Control was successful. The future was saved.

Lost in a new time, she makes a frenemy in thief and smuggler Book (David Ajala) who firsts betrays her but later helps her in her search for answers. As for Discovery, the ship is nowhere to be found. By the laws of temporal dynamics it may arrive at any time… perhaps years in the future.

Carmen Sandiego - The Haunted Bayou Caper television review

Carmen (Gina Rodriguez) trades in her fedora for a witch’s hat when Team Red enters a charity gala which agents of V.I.L.E. hope to rob. “The Haunted Bayou Caper” recycles villains we’ve seen before, but it does introduce a new resource for V.I.L.E. in their own computer hacker the Troll (Osric Chau). Devineaux (Rafael Petardi) is also on hand, and, as always, one-step behind. Stealing from a charity is far less glamorous than most of V.I.L.E.’s haunts, but the locale of the spooky old house does offer some twists and secrets hidden in its secret passages.

DuckTales - Let's Get Dangerous! television review

With more than a few nods and winks to the original Darkwing Duck cartoon, the rebooted DuckTales brings back Drake Mallard (Chris Diamantopoulos) as Scrooge (David Tennant) and his nephews travel to St. Canard to check out the invention of Taurus Bulba (James Monroe Iglehart). As in “Darkly Dawns the Duck,” Bulba wants to use the invention (this version pulls in matter from alternate dimensions) for his own fiendish plans. Standing in his way is the granddauther of Bulba’s missing partner, Gosalyn Waddlemeyer (Stephanie Beatriz).
