LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy - Part Four

The fun of LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy has been seeing the various strange mashups of characters and ships in the new universe Sig (Gaten Matarazzo) accidentally created. Unfortunately, by the time you get to the final episode, there are no more of these fun surprises left (except in the epilogue), leaving the show to struggle with only its base story to fall back on. “Part Four” does what you would expect, wrapping up the story while still leaving the world open to future adventures. However, other than the tease of the Landolorian (Billy Dee Williams) and Grogu there’s not much memorable here.

Smallville - Zero

Superman Saturday takes us back to Smallville, Kansas. Teased multiple times over the show’s First Season leading up to the episode, “Zero” delves into Lex Luthor‘s (Michael Rosenbaum) bad boy days in Metropolis before being relocated to Smallville by his father. Secrets of the past haunting a character also bleed over into the episode’s B-story as a school assignment leads to Chloe (Allison Mack) poking around in the Kents’ adoption of Clark (Tom Welling). Just as Lex asks Clark to leave his past alone, Clark finds himself asking the same of Chloe.

Only Murders in the Building - Adaptation / Blow-Up

More suspects are crossed of the list. After quickly disposing of Bev (Molly Shannon), who ended the previous episode holding the podcasters at gun point, Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) turn their attention to the movie looking for new suspects. In “Adaptation” they also dismiss the screenwriter (Jin Ha) who was never much of a suspect but through that interaction they begin to take a closer look at the Brothers Sisters (Catherine Cohen and Siena Werber) who they discover have a connection to one of the Westies and the mysterious Dudenoff (Griffin Dunne).

The Old Man - XI

Episode “XI” feels a bit as if multiple episodes have been condensed into one due to time constraints. We get the conclusion of Dan Chase (Jeff Bridges) and Harold Harper’s (John Lithgow) time in Afghanistan, Angela (Alia Shawkat) choosing to stay and the death of her father, the return of Zoe (Amy Brenneman), Dan and Harold confronting Morgan Bote (Joel Grey), who never got developed as much as I would have liked, and also his murder. It’s an insane amount to somehow fit together in one episode, but it does allow the story to finish on another cliffhanger with Angela’s best chance now dead by the minions of Suleyman Pavlovich (Rade Serbedzija) who has overtaken both Hamzad (Navid Negahban) and Bote as our true villain (at least for now).
