Supergirl – Triggers

Alan Rapp / October 17, 2017 / Television Reviews

Title: Supergirl – Triggers
wiki: link

“Triggers” offers an emotional episode by introducing a villain with an unique ability to attack Kara (Melissa Benoist) where she’s as vulnerable as any human walking the streets. National City’s new bank robber turns out to be a meta-human named Psi (Yael Grobglas) who has the ability to force those around her to live their greatest fears. Her first two interactions with Psi don’t go well for the Girl of Steel whose visions of the end of Krypton and being trapped within her lifepod brings her to her knees. Only after understanding how her earlier fears relate to the loss of Mon-El who may be dead, or at best doomed to the same claustrophobic loneliness she felt as a teenager, can Kara fight through her fears and make a stand.

Star Wars Rebels – Heroes of Mandalore

Alan Rapp / October 17, 2017 / Television Reviews

Title: Star Wars Rebels – Heroes of Mandalore
wiki: link

Star Wars Rebels opens its fourth and final season with Sabine Wren (Tiya Sircar) leading Ezra (Taylor Gray), Kanan (Freddie Prinze Jr.), Chopper, and several Mandalorians first in a rescue mission to save her father and then in destroying the weapon she designed as an Imperial cadet. Sabine gets much of the internal turmoil and glory here, enough that the final scene of her stepping aside to let another lead Mandalore feels a bit… off. Sure, we know Sabine has no real interest in the job, but given her actions in these two episodes I doubt the other Mandalorians would seem so willing to allow her to step aside in favor on another, even for someone like Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) who has the legacy to rule. While this frees the character up for more stories with the her friends, it also feels like a forced and unnatural detour in Sabine’s arc.

Justice League Action – E. Nigma, Consulting Detective

Alan Rapp / October 15, 2017 / Television Reviews

Title: Justice League Action – E. Nigma, Consulting Detective
wiki: link

After the Joker (Mark Hamill) traps Batman and leaves a scavenger hunt of riddles for Green Arrow (Chris Diamantopoulos) and Wonder Woman (Rachel Kimsey) to follow, the pair of heroes reluctantly accept the help of the recently reformed Riddler (Brent Spiner) who is more than a little miffed at another Bat-villain stealing his schtick. “E. Nigma, Consulting Detective” is a fun, if goofy, episode of the Riddler leading the two heroes through deciphering a list of ridiculous clues eventually leading back to the Joker’s hideout.
