The Letter for the King - Storm Clouds Gather television review

One episode in, The Letter for the King feels like you basic knights and destiny story of warring kingdoms and a destiny to be fulfilled. Based on the 1962 Dutch novel De brief voor de Koning by Tonke Dragt, the first episode introduces us to completely unprepared knight initiate Tiuri (Amir Wilson) who only makes it through the trials by his stepfather (David Wenham) bribing his last opponent. This doesn’t earn him friendship or respect from the other initiates. Elsewhere a warmongering prince (Gijs Blom) pushes further south than any has gone before. The southern lands, where Tiuri and his mother (Kemi-Bo Jacobs) are from, are falling quickly to the prince’s army. However, prophecy tells of a warrior who will turn the tide.

Scooby-Doo! - Spooky Space Kook television review

Throwback Thursday takes us back to Scooby Doo, Where Are You! for another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. Running out of gas near an abandoned air field, Mystery, Inc. decides to investigate the odd appearances of a Space Ghost haunting the area. Following some mysterious glowing footprints, the gang gets a look at the Space Ghost, and his ship, who chases them around the abandoned buildings before being trapped in a wind tunnel. The episode is notable for Freddy (Frank Welker) getting stuck in a sticky situation rather than Daphne (Stefanianna Christopherson), Shaggy (Casey Kasem) and Scooby (Don Messick) discovering the majority of the clues, the unique setting of the creepy air field, and a story that doesn’t allow enough time for a trap as the villain is caught running for cover when the Sheriff arrives. The design of the Space Ghost is one of the more memorable of the series and has made other appearances over the years in comics and later series.

Warrior Nun - Proverbs 14:1 television review

Using the journal of the Warrior Nuns, Ava (Alba Baptista) comes up with a plan to find the sacred relic deep within the crypts of Vatican City. To do so, she’ll need the help of Jillian Salvius (Thekla Reuten), who has interest in the artifact that may allow her to open her gateway, and train with Sister Beatrice (Kristina Tonteri-Young) to pass through walls far thicker than she has every attempted before. Finally having all the core nuns working together allows for the show to explore some internal dynamics and allow Ava to get to know the others. Beatrice’s story is the episode’s highlight, cementing an already burgeoning friendship between the pair, and explaining the drive behind the warrior nuns most kick-ass team member.
