Voltron - The Way Forward television review

Captured and trapped aboard a Galra cruiser run by Zethrid (Jamie Gray Hyder) and Ezor (Kimiko Glenn), the Paladins’ long road home continues. With any hope of rescue centered around Coran (Rhys Darby), who managed to accidentally lock himself in the Black Lion‘s cargo hold, things look bleak for our heroes. Luckily, he’s got some help in the mice and the unexpected reappearance of Acxa (Erica Luttrell). Although there is very little in terms of space battles, “The Way Forward” offers action aboard the Galra ship as the Paladins make their escape only to discover some shocking news.

Iron Fist - The Fury of Iron Fist television review

Iron Fist returns for a Second Season with Danny Rand (Finn Jones) ignoring the concerns of his company (yeah, that’s not going bite him in the ass) while being consumed by stepping into Matt Murdock’s role as the city’s protector. Tensions are running high as someone appears to be orchestrating a gang war between the local gangs. And lurking in the shadows is the alliance of Davos (Sacha Dhawan) and Joy (Jessica Stroup) who plan to take out their own aggressions and inadequacies out on the man they blame for their misfortune. Meanwhile there appears to be trouble brewing at home between Danny and Colleen (Jessica Henwick) who gets her own mystery to look into involving a family crest and unanswered questions.

Justice League - Hearts and Minds television review

Our Throwback Thursday post takes us back to the animated adventures of Justice League. Although I don’t think it was necessarily deliberate, Justice League didn’t paint a very flattering picture of the Green Lantern Corps. In their first appearance, the Corps abandoned John Stewart (Phil LaMarr) when their fellow Lantern is accused of destroying an entire planet in “In Blackest Night.” In the opening scene of “Hearts and Minds” Galius and Arkkis are killed by soldiers (rather easily). There’s also an odd story break where John Stewart’s old flame Katma Tui (Kim Mai Guest) somehow survives the same encounter, escapes without notice, hides her identity as a Green Lantern and joins the villain’s inner circle of priestess concubines. That’s quite a bit to happen completely off-screen without any explanation.

Elementary - The Geek Interpreter television review

There are several pieces in play with “The Geek Interpreter” including the return of Rich Sommer as Holmes‘ (Jonny Lee Miller) pet mathematician Harlan Emple, the kidnapping of one of Harlan’s graduate students, an elaborate scheme to profit off of land rights, murder, and Watson (Lucy Liu) sticking her nose into Sherlock Holmes’ love life. The later also allows for the return of Alia Attallah as Holmes’ friend with benefits who it seems may turn into something more (although I’m not holding my breath). And, once again, we get another mention of Moriarty. Although she won’t return this season, the final two episodes will return to focus on Holmes’ newest frenemy, I do wonder if we my get to see “the woman” when Elementary returns for its Seventh Season.

Disenchantment - Faster, Princess! Kill! Kill! television review

“Faster, Princess! Kill! Kill!” marks the halfway point of Disenchantment‘s First Season. The episode involves the feature character, the constantly-disappointing princess Bean (Abbi Jacobson), still facing her father’s wrath for the party that turned into a Viking invasion. Bean has now been sent to a nunnery (where she fails), and gets a job as an executioner’s assistance (which she, wait for it, also fails). The episode’s latter half involves Bean and the demon Luci (Eric André) helping save Elfo (Nat Faxon) from being eaten by Hansel and Gretel. It seems the only thing Bean doesn’t fail at is the minimal requirements of a marginally interested friend.
