The Blacklist - Nicholas T. Moore television review

The Blacklist meets The Village in an odd episode of misdirection that sends Elizabeth (Megan Boone) on an investigation that leads back to a woodland cult built off a sci-fi novel while Reddington (James Spader) works on uncovering the whereabouts of the duffel bag. “Nicholas T. Moore” is a middling episode without either a Blacklister or any movement on the season’s larger mystery that wraps up Red’s “other daughter” subplot, leaves him no closer to his prize, and gets Novabi (Mozhan Marnò) captured possibly foreshadowing the death of yet another supporting character before season’s end. The later is likely to be the major focus of next week’s episode, while any movement on Red’s bag of secrets will likely be left for the season finale.

Legion - Chapter 13 television review

“Chapter 13” features two storylines that will eventually merge to the horror of our series protagonist, who doesn’t make his first appearance until more than halfway through the episode. While Oliver (Jemaine Clement) and the Shadow King (Navid Negahban) go on a road trip in search of a body, Division 3 deals with the sudden appearance of Lenny (Aubrey Plaza) who has no answers for Clark (Hamish Linklater) as to how she’s walking around again. Despite David‘s truce with the evil mutant, it appears the Shadow King can’t help but fuck with David who eventually sits down and talks with Lenny, slowly working out the truth of what happened to her and just whose body she’s now walking around in.

Danger Man - The Girl in Pink Pajamas television review

Our Throwback Thursday post takes us back into the Cold War spycraft of Danger Man. “The Girl in Pink Pajamas” offers a terrific set-up as John Drake (Patrick McGoohan) heads to the Balkans where an attempted assassination is being kept under wraps at a small hospital, under the guise of mysterious contagion, as doctors work to save the President (Robert Cawdron) of an Amercian-friendly Balkan state. At the same time a young American woman (Angela Browne) suffering from amnesia but muttering about the hospital is found in the countryside. Drake returns to the hospital with the woman, hoping to put the pieces together before another attempt is made on the President’s life.

The Flash - Therefore She Is television review

Relationships are the main theme of “Therefore She Is” which not only brings back Gypsy (Jessica Camacho) from Earth-19 to help stop DeVoe (Neil Sandilands) who has begun stealing various classified components for his Englightenment but also offers flashbacks to DeVoe and Marlize‘s (Kim Engelbrecht) relationship over the years. The DeVoe/Marlize scenes help fill in some basic information about the pair’s relationship and how Marlize was eventually won over to her husband’s radical ideas. As has been foreshadowed several times over the course of the season, the super-villain’s recent actions finally create a split between the two (although apparently not enough of one for Marlize to stop the Enlightenment… at least not yet).

Lucifer - All Hands on Decker television review

While Lucifer (Tom Ellis) tries to understand his partner’s perplexing decision to marry Pierce (Tom Welling) working a murder at a dog show with Dan (Kevin Alejandro), the ladies throw Chloe (Lauren German) a bachelorette party (although multiple guests have their own reasons for showing up). “All Hands on Decker” is pretty boilerplate Lucifer. The devil makes outrageous choices (such as taking on Chloe’s role and expecting Dan to be more like him), but eventually is lead to the truth he was seeking all along.
