Doctor Odyssey – Shark Attack!

Doctor Odyssey returns from its mid-season break with “Shark Attack!” featuring the cruise ship’s first mate (Marcus Emanuel Mitchell) getting attacked by sharks and, while racing to get him to port, rescuing another small group of survivors also the victims of a shark attack. There’s plenty of emergency surgery here and out-of-the-box thinking in terms of the limited resources aboard the ship keeping their patients alive. Things only get worse at the end of the episode when the ship is attacked leaving it stranded and surrounded by a group of Orca whales. I would expect more ingenuity from the crew to make it through next week’s episode.

While Neagley (Maria Sten) does some research on the people Reacher (Alan Ritchson) is working for, the third episode of Reacher‘s Third Season focuses mainly on Reacher covering up his own mess and maneuvering himself into a stronger position within Zachary Beck’s (Anthony Michael Hall) organization. This involves sneaking out for a moonlit swim and, with the help of Susan Duffy (Sonya Cassidy), hiding the body of Angel (Manuel Rodriguez-Saenz) and the two drivers who walk in on them. Then, using the disappearances of the three men to his advantage, Reacher manages to take out Duke (Donald Sales) paving the way for Reacher to become Beck’s new #1 guy.

Daredevil: Born Again – Heaven’s Half Hour

  • Title: Daredevil: Born Again – Heaven’s Half Hour

In a perfect world, the events of the first 10 minutes of Daredevil: Born Again would have taken place as part of another MCU movie or show. After the (already leaked) events that open the show, “Heaven’s Half Hour” jumps a year forward to reintroduce our core characters and new supporting ones. Bringing us back to status quo, only to jump forward to a new reality, and then likely to return back to familiar ground in a couple of episodes does feel unnecessarily messy. If these events had actually occurred a year (or more) ago, and we were left to stew on them in real time, the lose and our new introduction would have had far more dramatic effect. However, despite the glut of content Marvel continues to pour out, and attempts to keep all events connected across the MCU, none of these other shows, or even films, have had the dramatic weight to contain these sequences.

Watson – Patient Question Mark

  • Title: Watson – Patient Question Mark
  • IMDb: link

Although we get threads involving Watson (Morris Chestnut) and Shinwell (Ritchie Coster) doing more odd jobs for Moriarty (Randall Park), the less effective aspects of the show are mostly kept on the backburner in “Patient Question Mark” in which Watson’s team searches out the family of Sasha’s (Inga Schlingmann) medical school cadaver to screen them for possible cancer. The journey will lead the group to Amish country, save the life of a young boy, and reunite a single mother with a larger family. Although not shown much on-screen, the trip also brings back memories for Watson and better days in his relationship with Mary (Rochelle Aytes).
