The Punisher - Roadhouse Blues television review

The Second Season of The Punisher starts with Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) driving around middle American in the A-Team‘s van, not exactly looking for trouble but unable to avoid it when it finds him. As to how he is paying for the hotels, beers, gas, and other items… well, that’s just one of several questions the premiere doesn’t stop to answer. Two days in the same town is all it will take bring Frank’s more brutal nature to the surface when he attempts to help a scared young woman (Giorgia Whigham) from an insanely large number of well-trained attackers sent after a presumably unprotected target unable to fight back, leading to complications for Frank’s new friend with benefits (Alexa Davalos), the bartender of the bar where Frank leaves one hell of a bloody mess. He also “forgets” his wedding ring in one of those really convenient plot points to clue in the nameless host of bad guys as to the identity of their target’s new protector as soon as possible.

The Flash - The Flash & The Furious television review

With a couple of notable exceptions, the supporting cast takes center stage in “The Flash & The Furious” when the Flash (Grant Gustin) is sidelined by a new meta-human and forced to remain in the pipeline until his instability issues work themselves out. This allows Nora (Jessica Parker Kennedy) to step into the role of Central City’s hero while dealing with her own issues after learning that her future mentor, and known Flash-adversary, the Reverse-Flash (Tom Cavanagh) is responsible for the death of her grandmother. Her new distrust of evil-doers pushes the repentant Weather Witch (Reina Hardesty) into the arms of the dangerous Silver Ghost (Gabrielle Walsh) whose black matter infuse key fob basically gives her control of any vehicle she wishes (including a stealth car developed by Wayne Industries).

Babylon 5 - A Voice in the Wilderness television review

Our Throwback Thursday post takes us back to the space station of humans and aliens all alone in the night. While there may be more than enough plot for a single episode, “A Voice in the Wilderness” feels a bit stretched in order to fill out a two-parter. The main storyline of the episode revolves around the reawakening of the planet below Babylon 5. Long thought to be uninhabited, Babylon discovers that Epsilon III holds many secrets including alien technology miles below the surface and a dying guardian (Curt Lowens) entrusted with keeping the planet’s vast power and knowledge out of the wrong hands. The right hands, it turns out, are those of Delenn‘s (Mira Furlan) old teacher (Louis Turenne) who volunteers to take over as the heart of the machine, and who will be seen again when the time is right.

Charlie's Angels - Target: Angels television review

Today’s Throwback Tuesday post takes us back to the tale of three beautiful former police detectives turned private detectives working for a faceless boss known as Charlie. John Horn guest-stars as a hitman sent after the Angels. After unsuccessful attempts on each of the women’s lives, the team decides to fake Sabrina‘s (Kate Jackson) death in hopes of luring out the killer. What the Angels learn, almost too late, is that the mercenary wasn’t hired to kill them but only to put them in enough danger that it might draw out his employer’s true target: Charlie himself. The ruse almost succeeds, but the Angels uncover the truth just in time to save Charlie (even if the makeshift plan invovles stealing an taxi that gets blown-up on Charlie’s driveway). Unfortunately for the Angels, success means barely missing their chance for the group’s first in-person meeting.
