Aladdin
- Title: Aladdin (1992)
- IMDb: link
Released to critical and box office acclaim, although not without controversy for its depiction of Arab characters and culture, it’s easy to forget the success Disney’s Aladdin had given it would be soon eclipsed by The Lion King just two years later. While not the title character, it’s impossible not to begin with Robin Williams as the voice of the Genie.

I have a limited tolerance for melodrama, especially one without the wit or snark to undercut the tedium that all-too-often is the byproduct of the genre. Rarely have I seen a film that so earnestly, and so seriously, leaned into its melodramatic overtones.

After the season premiere brought the team back together, “Who by Fire” offers a common theme about members of the team taking chances perhaps the shouldn’t. The second episode takes a longer look at the aftereffects of Lala‘s (Mariel Molino) car accident on both her and others while providing a case for a dead surfer on the Naval beach. Along with unexpectedly bringing back Flaco Navarro (Scotty Tovar) who has a dangerous deal for Lala, the episode is also built around Gibbs‘ (Austin Stowell) towards Franks (Kyle Schmid) for not allowing him to conduct an interrogation and eventually deciding to take matters into his own hands.
