Killjoys - Run, Yala, Run TV review

Sometimes the heroes lose. It’s a brave new world in Killjoys‘ Fifth Seeason premiere. After escaping the Green, the Lady (Lily Gail Reid) has begun reshaping Westerly to suit her needs. While D’avin (Luke Macfarlane) remains a Killjoy, albeit without any memories of his friends or family, Johnny (Aaron Ashmore) and Dutch (Hannah John-Kamen) are living life as a married couple blissfully unaware of the truth… until Dutch begins to wake-up. The Lady has turned the world topsy turvy recasting those to fit her whims (and to keep the dangerous at arm’s length). There are certainly questions here, such as who is lurking behind the scenes to help trigger Dutch’s memory? And, now that her first attempt has failed, what kind of shock will Dutch need to force on her friends to try and awake them again?

Warehouse 13 - Where and When television review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to a top-secret storage facility in South Dakota known as Warehouse 13. Warehouse 13 is overflowing with agents in “Where and When” which marks the first episode with Helena (Jaime Murray) reinstated as an agent, a choice Artie (Saul Rubinek) is extremely displeased with, and the return of an ailing Rebecca St. Clair (Roberta Maxwell) who needs Pete (Eddie McClintock) and Myka (Joanne Kelly) to solve one final case. After hearing of Rebecca’s blackout during the time of the case, Wells correctly assumes that her time travel machine was used and so history repeats itself as Pete and Myka’s consciousness travels back to 1961 into the bodies of Rebecca and her partner Jack (Chad Connell) to find the artifact (they do) and see if history can be changed (it can’t).

Elementary - On the Scent television review

Beginning with the murder of artist, the NYPD believe a serial killer dormant for a decade has returned. Unable to connect any of the original victims to each other or the latest victim, Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) and Watson (Lucy Liu) begin looking for alternative reasons for the unknown killer’s DNA showing up at all five crime scenes. In the first of a series of twists, they discover the tainted samples for each crime are not from some mysterious killer but a worker in the DNA lab who unintentionally contaminated each of them. Looking at all five cases separately, all have obvious motives except for the most recent one… until they discover one of the woman’s dogs was taken as well.

Batman: The Animated Series - Perchance to Dream television review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to Gotham City for Kevin Conroy‘s favorite episode of Batman: The Animated Series. After a night fighting crime, Bruce Wayne (Conroy) awakes to a world where his parents are alive, he is engaged to Selina Kyle (Adrienne Barbeau), and someone else is patrolling the streets as Batman. Initially distrustful of all he sees, Bruce eventually comes to accept his new reality. However, the discovery of his inability to make sense of the written word reawakens his suspicions that he is trapped with a dream world and he redoubles his efforts to discover the truth. For a series that enjoyed playing on noir themes, “Perchance to Dream” is full of them as the unseen villain gaslights our hero (albeit as a gift rather than a form of torture).
