Hooten and the Lady - Cambodia television review

Despite his attempts to keep her out of his latest expedition, Alex (Ophelia Lovibond) shows up in Cambodia to help Hooten (Michael Landes) hunt for the Cintamani jewel. With the help of a local kid (Jay Heyman), Hooten has been able to find most of the relics needed, although he’ll need Alex’s help to get past some drug runners and decipher the clues leading to the jewel’s location. The trouble is that they aren’t the only ones on the hunt. Hooten’s old partner Kane (Vincent Regan) is also searching for the prize.

The Freemaker Adventures - Return of the Return of the Jedi TV review

Set during the Battle of Endor, the season finale of LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures offers the final confrontation between Rowan (Nicolas Cantu) and M-OC (James Urbaniak) deep in the bowels of the second Death Star as the Rebels race to destroy the Emperor‘s super-weapon. Along the way the Freemakers will also get thrown into the detention block, Zander (Eugene Byrd) will get his moment with Becky Smoochenbacher, and the Freemakers will celebrate the Rebellion’s victory – Ewok style. “Return of the Return of the Jedi” isn’t really a stand-out, but it proves to be a satisfactory conclusion to the season’s arc.

Rick and Morty - Rest and Ricklaxation TV review

It’s not unusual for Rick and Morty to offer a twist after the initial set-up. The set-up here is a long-overdue vacation leads Rick and Morty to cleanse themselves and relax in the galaxy’s best spa. During this time off, Rick (Justin Roiland) and Morty (Roiland) relieve themselves of the mental toxins as well as physical, leaving behind copies of what each sees as the worst parts of themselves. What’s in the toxic versions of both Rick and Morty says a lot about both characters. Morty’s insecurities and self-doubt are left behind. For Rick, his more evil machinations are obviously cleansed but so are his feelings for Morty (which the scientist sees as a weakness).

Game of Thrones - The Dragon and the Wolf TV review

Two queens, a dead man, and a dwarf walk into an arena. It’s the custom of Game of Thrones to offer a huge battle in the penultimate episode of each season while leaving the season finale to pick up the pieces, tie off various loose ends, and set the stage for the next year. “The Dragon and the Wolf” does all these things as it brings Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) and Cersei (Lena Headey) face-to-face for the first time. While the possibility of a truce doesn’t interest the Queen of Westeros, the proof of what is coming for them all beyond the wall can’t be denied. Daenerys’ show of strength also isn’t lost on Cersei. Letting herself be talked into a truce by the one man she hates more than any other in the world, Cersei gives Daenerys what she was hoping for… except she has no plans to actually fulfill her promise to help protect the seven kingdoms against the army of the dead. So much for a Lannister always paying their debts.

Dark Matter - Nowhere to Go television review

Dark Matter closes out its Third Season with a bit of a messy episode which opens with Two (Melissa O’Neil choosing not to shoot Ryo (Alex Mallari Jr.) and closes with the death of a member of the Raza’s crew and the arrival of an armada of black ships through a breach in space-time. While overburdened a bit with too much plot, the episode certainly provides its share of memorable moments including Two’s betrayal, the resurrection of the alien storyline, Three‘s (Anthony Lemke) capture, and the destruction of both the Blink Drive and the Marauder.
