Justice League Action - Eezy Freezy TV review

“Eezy Freezy” is a bit of lighthearted fun featuring at team-up of Batman (Kevin Conroy) and Plastic Man out to capture Mr. Freeze (Peter Stormare). The short includes Plastic Man (Dana Snyder) taking on the shape of Santa’s sleigh (with Santa no less) as well as a makeshift stand-in for the Bat-Cycle’s front wheel after accidentally crashing into Batman. Not the most memorable of shorts, but fun nonetheless.

Lucifer - City of Angels? television review

Set before the show’s First Season, “City of Angels?” offers a glimpse at the various series regulars in the early days of Lucifer‘s (Tom Ellis) arrival on Earth long before he had become a nightclub owner or began his partnership with Chloe Decker (Lauren German). Breaking up the current arc, it seems an odd place to insert such an episode that doesn’t (at least initially) add much to the season’s bigger storylines. That said, there’s plenty to enjoy here including the more acrimonious relationship between Lucifer and Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside) and the angel’s naivete at human existence.

The Librarians and the Graves of Time television review

“And the Graves of Time” brings back Nicole Noone (Sonya Walger) as Eve (Rebecca Romijn) hunts down the former Guardian and decides to help Nicole stop a group of thieves from robbing several of her graves of magical artifacts hidden in them over the centuries. With Jenkins (John Larroquette) firmly believing that Nicole harbors ill-will to both himself and the Library, and Eve and Flynn (Noah Wyle) both willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, the plot allows the character’s true motivations to remain questionable up until the end when a powerful new villain is revealed (and, oddly, immediately dispensed with).

Magnum, P.I. - Did You See the Sunrise? TV review

Today’s Throwback Tuesday post takes us back to the two-part opener of Magnum, P.I.‘s Third Season. The arrival of an old war buddy (James Whitmore Jr.) on the island brings back Vietnam prisoner-of-war memories for both Magnum (Tom Selleck) and T.C. (Roger E. Mosley), especially when their friend informs them that the brutal KGB officer (Bo Svenson) who tortured them in Vietnam has followed him to the islands. “Did You See the Sunrise?” plays on some common themes we’ll see throughout the series including Higgins (John Hillerman) get rankled by Magnum and his friends, and Buck Greene (Lance LeGault) refusing to share information with Magnum, this time resulting in the death of series regular Mac (Jeff MacKay). The episodes also introduce Maggie Poole (Jean Bruce Scott) as Magnum’s new inside man within Greene’s office.
