Danger Man - The Battle of the Cameras television review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back into the Cold War spycraft of Danger Man. After top secret documents are stolen by a cunning woman (Dawn Addams) working for the notorious A.J.A. Kent (Niall MacGinnis), John Drake (Patrick McGoohan) is sent to Paris to work his way into the man’s confidence by offering up the recipe for rocket fuel.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #111

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #111 comic reviewRealizing that Old Hob has begun spying on them, the Turtles set a trap which offers artist Jodi Nishijima the opportunity to provide several fun silent panels including one of my favorite panels of Alopex hiding under the floorboards of the dojo. The Turtles make short work of Hob’s minions Stone and Night, leaving the pair as a message for Old Hob to back off.

Hob has more than just Turtle problems. With an unfulfilled contract for the Foot Clan hanging over him, Karai alters the deal by claiming two new mutants from Hob’s stable: Rahzar and Tokka. Both look formidable and likely to cause problems for the Turtles in the coming months.

Bob's Burgers - Fast Time Capsules at Wagstaff School television review

Playing on the title of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, time capsules are the thing in “Fast Time Capsules at Wagstaff School” as Tina (Dan Mintz) is put in charge of the Wagstaff School time capsule project. Determined to make it better than the capsule the school just dug up, and drunk on her own power, not a single submission is good enough to make the cut. It doesn’t take long for Tammy (Jenny Slate) to start a far more inclusive time capsule project. The two other threads of the episode involve Louise (Kristen Schaal) becoming obsessed with getting her hands on tickets to Boyz4Now‘s One Two Boo Boo My Shoe Tour (which dovetails into Tina’s storyline when two tickets make their way into Tammy’s capsule), and Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) and Linda (John Roberts) becoming hyper-competitive after Bob teases his wife about her inability to whistle.

Darth Vader #7 comic reviewCrippled and left to fend for himself on Mustafar, Darth Vader begins putting himself back together again. However, the Emperor has left another surprise in the form of the Sith assassin Ochi who only gives the Dark Lord of the Sith enough time to connect new robotic limbs before beginning his attack.

Ochi’s involvement offers a tie-in to Rise of Skywalker, although it also confirms that both the assassin and Vader will make it through their confrontation alive (since w know Ochi died on Pasaana and Vader on the Second Death Star).
