Delicious in Dungeon - Egg/The Golden Country

As the other party reaches the surface and discovers the dungeon may soon be in danger from elves who have arrived (which also provides some backstory for Kabru), a ghost leads our party to a new part of the dungeon which reveals Laios‘ (Damien C. Haas) destiny. Because we don’t have monster attacks here, and the characters spend most of the time in this new community cursed with immortality deep in a peaceful pocket of the dungeon, the only dinner of note is the Eggs Benedict they eat prior to allowing the ghost to pull them into this new realm. However, there are plenty of docile monsters in the town for Laios and the others to nerd over. The episode feels very much like a transitionary one, pushing characters on to the paths for the final episodes of the season and setting up a new danger to the dungeon from the elves.

Star Trek: Prodigy - Dream Catcher

Star Trek Sunday gives us another episode of Star Trek: Prodigy. After a two-part opener on a slave labor mining planet and an episode of the new crew learning to trust the ship and their holographic helper, “Dream Catcher” offers the first episode that fits more into the Star Trek mold as the crew make their first away mission to what seems to be a Class M planet devoid of life. Although we still get characters not quite acting in the Starfleet manner, such as Gwyn (Ella Purnell) breaking out of the brig and attempting to steal the ship and Dal R’El (Brett Gray) hot rodding around the planet blissful unaware of the danger everyone is in, the setup of a planet (which uses invaders own dreams against them to lull them into acceptance as it consumes them) could easily have fit right in as a stop for the original Starship Enterprise.

Spidey Saturday takes us back to the 90s New York City and an animated Wall-Crawler. “Kraven the Hunter” introduces another Spidey villain in an episode that explores the origin story of Kraven (Gregg Berger) who Spider-Man runs into while saving his former girlfriend from him.

Spider-Man attempts to hide Mariah while she works on a cure and rescue Robbie (Rodney Saulsberry) who Spidey accidentally puts in danger.

Batman: Caped Crusader - Kiss of the Catwoman

Of all the episodes of Batman: Caped Crusader, “Kiss of the Catwoman” is the closest it gets to Batman: The Animated Series and at times even Batman: The Brave and The Bold (given out title character’s classic costume and posturing). The episode introduces Selina Kyle (Christina Ricci) as a socialite whose family fortune isn’t what it used to be. Inspired by Batman (Hamish Linklater), Selina creates a costume of her own and commits a series of burglaries around Gotham City both for the needed income and for the thrill.
