Batwoman - Through the Looking-Glass television review

Let’s start on a positive note. “Through the Looking-Glass” does include the series best action sequence to date, with Kate (Ruby Rose) out of the Bat-suit kicking the ass of several security guards while helping Alice Rachel Skarsten) break into Arkham Aylumn. The episode also marks the return of Julia Pennyworth (Christina Wolfe) who has been one of the few bright spots for the series outside of its star. The rest of the episode? Pretty much the same shitshow we’ve come to expect from Batwoman on a weekly basis although the episode does earn points for hitting emotional marks better than it has at times this season and letting Alice come off more human (and less cartoonish) than we’ve seen.

Scooby-Doo! - Mine Your Own Business TV review

Throwback Thursday takes us back to Scooby Doo, Where Are You! for another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. A wrong turn leads Mystery, Inc. to the nearly deserted Gold City where locals and guests have been scared off by the Miner Forty-Niner, the ghost of an old prospector still searching for gold. It turns out the Miner is neither a ghost nor looking for gold, but oil hidden below the town. The Miner is one of the more forgettable monsters from the show’s run, although the episode does have some moments such as Scooby-Doo (Don Messick) and Shaggy (Casey Kasem) faking a train in the mine as part of one of the gang’s least complicated traps to catch a ghost.

Legacies - Life Was So Much Easier When I Only Cared About Myself television review

There’s an awful lot happening in “Life Was So Much Easier When I Only Cared About Myself” as Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) banishes Alaric (Matthew Davis) and Kaleb (Chris Lee) into the simulated fictional reality to keep them both out of the way as the evil Josie (Kaylee Bryant) returns to the school on her birthday threatening to force the Merge early meaning either she or Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) will die. Part of Josie’s party includes the Necromancer (Ben Geurens) announcing his return to the entire student body and setting up a duel between sisters which the Tribrid hopes to find a way to stop (or at least prevent one of the sisters from dying).
