Voltron - Kral Zera television review

Named after the ceremony to choose the next emperor of the Galra Emprire, “Kral Zera” continues to build tension between Shiro (Josh Keaton) and Allura (Kimberly Brooks) as the Paladin takes Lotor (A.J. LoCascio) and the Black Lion to the ceremony to help their new ally win the throne. The situation is further complicated by the arrival of Keith (Steven Yeun) and two other members of the Blade of Marmora whose attempt to bomb the proceedings drive an already contententious group into full-scale battle with one another. Carnage and chaos ensues, including Keith being saved by an unlikely ally.

Arrow - The Ties That Bind television review

Attacks on the vigilantes and their loved ones in their own homes brings the Team Arrow members back together for a Hail Mary attempt to take down Ricardo Diaz (Kirk Acevedo), first on the road and later inside the corrupt Star City police station. While the show spends too much time once again focused on Oliver (Stephen Amell) wanting to protect Felicity, and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) taking risks to help the team, the main storyline offers quite a bit of action as Diaz openly declares war on Oliver Queen and company and makes more brutal inroads with The Quadrant. By the end of the episode, our heroes are battered and bruised and no closer to defeating the villain heading into next week’s season finale.

Legion - Chapter 14 television review

Although it offers some interesting moments, it’s hard not to view “Chapter 14” as a filler episode used to artificially lengthen the series (a process Netflix has made an art form out of). All taking place in a blink of the eye as David (Dan Stevens) discovers the truth about his sister, the episode jumps around alternate realities where David is in more or less control of his powers and mental state. Be it a homeless man, a warehouse worker, or a the richest man in the world, in any reality David’s condition continues to be both a potential burden or boon. Had this sequence taken place in a third of an episode, rather than stretched out over an entire episode, I think the idea would have been more effective and not left me feeling that it was sort of a waste of my time. You could skip this entire episode and not miss a single beat or reference going forward with the rest of the season.

Human Target - Christopher Chance television review

Throwback Thursday takes us back to the final episode from the First Season of Human Target. The aptly-named “Christopher Chance” will finally reveal a few truths about Christopher Chance (Mark Valley), his first meeting with Winston (Chi McBride), his old line of work, and the woman who turned his world upside down. Still working as an assassin, our protagonist tricks Winston into giving up the location of a protective witness. With every intention of killing Katherine Walters (Amy Acker), at the last second our hitman for hire changes his mind and decides to break with his boss (Armand Assante) and take the witness on the run. Looking for all the help he can get, he chooses to go to the one man known for keeping people alive: Christopher Chance (Lee Majors).

The Flash - Harry and the Harrisons television review

Reaching out for help in questionable places is the common theme throughout “Harry and the Harrisons.” First, Harry (Tom Cavanagh) and Cisco (Carlos Valdes) attempt to enlist two separate versions of the Council of Wells in order to get some help with Harry’s diminishing intellect. Neither proves useful. Meanwhile, Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) enlists the help of Amunet (Katee Sackhoff) whose powers might just be the key to stopping DeVoe (Neil Sandilands) from launching his satellites (and who may be able to help her reconnect with Caitlin’s chillier alter-ego). In order to get Amunet’s help, Team Flash must track down more of the villain’s missing shards which have been taken by a meta-human (Mark Sweatman) the group has crossed paths with before.
