Throwback Thursday takes us back to a top-secret storage facility in South Dakota known as Warehouse 13. The two-part Second Season finale offers the discovery of the lost Warehouse 13 and the inevitable betrayal of H.G. Wells (Jaime Murray). Looking the bizarre sudden mummification of college students halfway around the world sends Pete (Eddie McClintock), Myka (Joanne Kelly), Helena, and Valda (Mark Sheppard) in search of the lost Warehouse 2 whose reemergence is slowly destroying Mrs. Frederic‘s (CCH Pounder) connection to the current Warehouse. The first episode features plenty of tomb traps and riddles for the team to decipher, the loss of one of their own, and Helena’s betrayal by grabbing an immensely powerful artifact which could threaten the world. Helena’s quick departure means very little time to search the ancient Warehouse and its contents, but it does allow for Pete to try (and fail) to use a flying carpet and his more successful use of the Wings of Daedalus.

After opening with a sequence involving Po‘s (Mick Wingert) vision of two dragons battling, and a visit from Oogway (Piotr Michael), “Blade of the Red Phoenix” sends Po and his students back into the cave where the four young Pandas discovered their power in search of a scroll which may help unlock the secrets to their powers and which Jindiao (Steve Blum) covets to complete his plans. As with the earlier episodes of the series, “Blade of the Red Phoenix” showcases one character further unlocking his powers. Here it’s Fan Tong (Makana Say) who conjures a sword using chi of Red Phoenix to vanquish the demon sent by Jindiao to capture the scroll. The greater control of his powers also unlocks part of the scroll, foreshadowing all may be revealed when all four students are ready.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power – Roll With It

Alan Rapp / August 7, 2019 / Television Reviews

Title: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power – Roll With It
wiki: link

“Roll With It” is an amusing episode from the Second Season of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power as a planning session to take a tower from the Horde becomes an out-of-control table-top roll-playing adventure with each character offering “help” that gets further and further away from reality. There are two running gags in the various scenes shown. First, Bow (Marcus Scribner) manages to die in every last one of them. And second, Adora discovers that her friends have very distinct (and often quite humorous) impressions of Catra (AJ Michalka).

Killjoys – Three Killjoys and a Lady

Title: Killjoys – Three Killjoys and a Lady

Having escaped from the Lady, the Killjoys find themselves at odds with each other when appearances suggest one of them has been turned by their adversary. Suspicions run high in “Three Killjoys and a Lady” and before all is said and done our heroes will be recaptured and one core member of the team won’t make it back alive. Along with the paranoia there’s more than a little humor as Dutch (Hannah John-Kamen) finds just the right way to calm the Jaqobis boys down and reveal the true villain in their midst. Like Johnny (Aaron Ashmore), I’m sad to see Lucy go but the episode does let the A.I. go out in style with an on-screen appearance of Tamsen McDonough giving Lucy a face to remember. Another member down, the fight with the Lady is just beginning.

Title: Lucifer – Everything’s Okay
wiki: link

After disappearing with Trixie (Scarlett Estevez) for a month following the events of the Third Season finale, Chloe (Lauren German) returns apparently having come to terms with her partner’s devilish nature. True to his nature, Lucifer (Tom Ellis) attempts to poke and prod his partner to get to the hidden unresolved issues (which he is at least partially right in recognizing). The gang is all back in the first episode of the show’s move to Netflix and subplots involve Amenadiel‘s (D.B. Woodside) return to Los Angeles, Dan (Kevin Alejandro) still struggling with the loss of Charlotte Richards (Tricia Helfer), and Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt) looking for forgiveness from her first human friend.
