Citadel: Honey Bunny - Dancing and Fighting

The opening episode of the latest Citadel spinoff takes place simultaneously in both 1992 where struggling actress Honey (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) is recruited by stuntman and spy Bunny (Varun Dhawan) for a job, and 2000 where Honey’s past catches up to her putting her daughter Nadia (Kashvi Majmundar) in danger. Yes, that Nadia who we meet as a smart and well-trained kid needing to look after herself in time for her mother, or the father she’s never met, to find her.

NCIS: Origins – Last Rites

  • Title: NCIS: Origins – Last Rites
  • IMDb: link

Keeping to the theme of every single case being important to at least one member of the team (an idea that is destined for diminishing returns), “Last Rites” involves a serial killer on death row and the one victim who Franks (Kyle Schmid) was never able to find. On the eve of the execution, Franks gets roped into trying to get information out of the killer one last time before being jerked around and, finally, getting the family some closure. With Franks’ behavior more on display, in the current timeline Gibbs (Austin Stowell) gets shunted to a supporting role (although his overreaction at one point to a situation doesn’t go unnoticed). However, the episode provides more flashbacks to his past, and his hospitalization following the death of his family and his attempted suicide overseas.

Jurassic World: Chaos Theory - C13v3rGr186

“C13v3rGr186” steps away from the current storyline of the new island to fill in the gap of Brooklyn (Kiersten Kelly) starting with the events that occurred prior to the attack and also what happened to Brooklyn after she was saved by Ronnie (Carmen Moore). Much of this we’ve seen before, or has been directed alluded to. We see her visit to Kenji’s father with the added context of what she was after, the misunderstanding with Darius (Paul-Mikél Williams), and the night she lost her arm. Although considering letting the others know she’s alive, Brooklyn ultimately decides to keep it a secret to protect them and play on the advantages of being dead as she goes after the Broker on her own in a storyline which will eventually get away from the writers but starts with just being a very questionable decision.
