Throwback Thursday takes us back to 2000 when former car thief Memphis Raines (Nicolas Cage) is brought out of retirement to put together a crew to prevent his idiot younger brother Kip (Giovanni Ribisi) from being killed after botching a major job for the sociopathic Raymond Calitri (Christopher Eccleston). Calling on his old friends, and incorporating Kip’s new ones, the crew attempts to steal 50 cars in one night, without getting caught by the police (Delroy Lindo and Timothy Olyphant), and deliver them all to Calitri on the docks.

Following the premiere, the first episode with no crossover from previous Librarian movies or shows gives us Vikram Chamberlain (Callum McGowan) leading the team to the opera where the rosin on a pair of opera shoes have put the lead dancer in the hospital. Discovering this is all the work of a witch, the group splits up until her identity is revealed with Lysa (Olivia Morris) and Connor (Bluey Robinson) distracting the witch (Arielle Dombasle) while Vikram makes a small but vital change to the ballet’s performance that prevents the ritual from completing and turning the magic back on the witch to the stunned audience (who I guess thought it was all part of the show?).

Secret Six #4

/ / Comics

Secret Six #4 picks up with our rag-tag group being taken down by Jeannette. Following the advice of Dreamer, Jon Kent gets himself and Catman out allowing the rest of the issue to focus on this unlikely pairing. Thomas Blake hanging out with Superman’s kid is certainly not something I would have expected from this, or really any DC comic. The pairing does help flesh out the story by helping Jon get a better understanding in general of how the Secret Six work, and more importantly Blake’s relationship with Deadshot.

Rand al’Thor‘s (Josha Stradowski) journey continues across the Ariel Waste with their new guides who lead them to the city of Rhuidean. While he and Moiraine Damodred (Rosamund Pike) are permitted entry where they will face challenges to prove their worth. While Rand walks through a the past, living through generations of his timeline and learning about his parents, the creation of the city of the clouds, and the oath sworn long ago and how it was broken, Moiraine has visions of many possible futures. While we spend the bulk of time with Rand, we only see flashes of Moiraine’s visions which include a possible romance with Rand and several timelines which end at the hands of Lanfear (Natasha O’Keeffe) who we notably also see in Rand’s past vision as well. Aviendha (Ayoola Smart), who has avoided her true path for too long, also takes a similar journey through the rings as Moiraine (although we are not privy to her visions).
