Rick and Morty - Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Rickpeat TV review

Things get pretty messed up the the season premiere of Rick and Morty as the pair’s adventure to retrieve death crystals leaves Rick (Justin Roiland) dead and Morty (Roiland) following the path of the crystal to a death he believes will involve growing old with Jessica (Kari Wahlgren). Meanwhile, after Mortry refuses to listen to Holograph Rick and clone his grandfather, back-up clones of Rick pop-up in other dimensions. “Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Rickpeat” has fun with the running gag of continually rebooting Rick in various forms, but nearly all of them being fascist realities (with the last, non-fascist reality, being somehow even more terrifying). Meanwhile, Morty takes things a bit too far (killing dozens and even ignoring a tempting offer from Jessica) in order to pursue his elusive best death.

Batwoman - I'll Be Judge, I'll Be Jury television review

When the Executioner starts targeting city officials both Kate (Ruby Rose) and the Crows will scour the city, but while Jacob Kane‘s (Dougray Scott) men are more than willing to pin the activities on a recently-paroled convict Kate suspects there is far more going on. “I’ll Be Judge, I’ll Be Jury” features what we’ve come to expect from the series with Ruby Rose getting more comfortable in her Bat-gear and continuing to be the one standout of the show. While the Executioner works fine as a one-off baddie, his elaborate death traps (including the opening scene where the victim could have simply run to either the left or the right instead of trying to climb a metal fence to avoid electrocution) still leave something to be desired.

Warehouse 13 - 3... 2... 1 television review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to a top-secret storage facility in South Dakota known as Warehouse 13. The reemergence of Joshua’s Trumpet offers a Warehouse tale that takes place in three different time periods and offers the return of multiple characters. Helena (Jaime Murray) is let out of her prison, albeit only in holographic form, to help in the current search for the artifact and elaborate on her first encounter with it back in 1893. The appareance of the trumpet in 1962 also brings back Jack (Chad Connell) and Rebecca (Alex Paxton-Beesley). “3… 2… 1” offers a chance to redeem Helena a bit as she’s able to talk down a confused man (Martin Doyle) from trying to find the aliens who stole his father decades before (when he was dissentigrated by the horn, crashed back to Earth on Helena’s rocket). Even Pete (Eddie McClintock) eventually warms a little towards the woman who tried to destroy the world just a season earlier.

Hawaii Five-0 - Ka 'i'o TV review

“Ka ‘i’o” is the obligatory send McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) off on an impossible mission episode. This time around it’s to Columbia and Mexico in search of Doris (Christine Lahti) who the CIA believes has been turned and is now working against American interest. The episode is a bit odd, with several gaps in the story, making me wonder if a two-part episode got truncated into something that would fit in the show’s normal hour-long framework. Other cast members make cameos here, but aside from Junior (Beulah Koale) who goes in with a team to assist Steve when he gets stuck, the rest of Five-0 is mostly here to stand around headquarters and await news. As is usually the case with these episodes, the action is quite good even if the plot struggles to remain credible. The episode marks the final appearance of Lahti’s character (except perhaps in flashbacks) as the show does surprise me in allowing Doris to be a traitor and meet her end. It’s a nice send off for a recurring character, and I’ll be curious to see if the show simply moves on from this or if Doris’ death lingers in the coming weeks.

Legacies - Since When Do You Speak Japanese? TV review

“Since When Do You Speak Japanese?” offers more Malivore drama when a samurai with a demon inside him is expelled only to have the demon jump bodies and begin to infect others around town. Eventually it makes its way to Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) forcing a tough choice for Josie (Kaylee Bryant) who saves her sister at the cost of taking another step down a dangerous path where Professor Vardemus (Alexis Denisof) is all-too-happy to lead her. In terms of season-long storylines, the most intriguing piece of the episode is Lizzy regaining her memories of Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) at the end of the episode begging the question just what will she do with that knowledge and how may it affect Hope’s eventual return to the Salvatore School?
