Star Wars Rebels - Imperial Super Commandos

The latest episode of Star Wars Rebels takes Ezra (Taylor Gray) and Sabine (Tiya Sircar) back to Concord Dawn with their Rebel prisoner Fenn Rau (Kevin Mckidd) who discovers his Protectors have been destroyed by Mandalorians loyal to the Empire. Forced into an uneasy truce with Sabine, Rau is forced to choose between making his escape on his own or helping Sabine rescue her friend and take down the Mandalorians who killed his men. The episode’s purpose seems to be to turn Rau from a reluctant prisoner to a valued ally. In the end he chooses Sabine over his own freedom, suggesting we will be seeing more of the character this season.

The Good Place - ...Someone Like Me as a Member

Deciding not to immediately turn over his Eleanor (Kristen Bell) to the visitors from the Bad Place, Michael (Ted Danson) enlists the help of Tahani (Jameela Jamil) to distract and mollify his guests until a proper trade can be worked out. Meanwhile, Chidi (William Jackson Harper) begins to get to know the other Eleanor (Tiya Sircar) which only makes our “fake” Eleanor feel more out of place. These discussions also allow us a glimpse of what Eleanor’s life in the Bad Place would consist of and why neither woman would willingly want to go there.

No Tomorrow - No Regrets

Filled with more crazy antics and crossing off a few regrets from their bucket lists, “No Regrets” makes serious headway in putting some distance between itself and last week’s episode which ended in disappointing romantic cliche. For Xavier (Joshua Sasse) this means righting a childhood wrong involving a stolen baseball card (which turns out to be harder than expected) as well as finally admitting to Evie (Tori Anderson) the true extent of his feelings. For Evie it means attempting to mend the fences of a childhood friend (Allyn Rachel) she abandoned in high school to be part of the cool clique.

Arrow - Human Target

“Human Target” ends the Tobias Church (Chad L. Coleman) storyline, kills Oliver (Stephen Amell), puts Diggle (David Ramsey) back into the field, and foreshadows trouble for our Mayor as the season’s favorite snarky reporter (Carly Pope) is given a clue about Oliver’s secret life in Russia. Of course Oliver isn’t actually killed in the episode, but his public shooting does allow the team to lull their adversary into a sense of false security, discover Church’s endgame, and then make a few plans of their own.

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - The Good Samaritan

After weeks “The Good Samaritan” finally reveals the origin story for how Robbie Reyes (Gabriel Luna) became Ghost Rider. With a small cameo from the previous agent of vengeance (sorry, no Nic Cage) we witness Robbie make his deal with the Devil in mostly off-screen and completely underwhelming circumstances. It’s certainly not worth the wait. Just as disappointing is the episode’s twist make the ghostly scientist victims rather than the true evil behind the experiment (which raises all sorts of plot issues given their actions over the previous weeks). Adding to the tension is the new Director’s (Jason O’Mara) decision to try and bring Robbie and Daisy (Chloe Bennet) which puts him at odds with Coulson (Clark Gregg)… and the fate of the world.
