Game of Thrones - The Dragon and the Wolf TV review

Two queens, a dead man, and a dwarf walk into an arena. It’s the custom of Game of Thrones to offer a huge battle in the penultimate episode of each season while leaving the season finale to pick up the pieces, tie off various loose ends, and set the stage for the next year. “The Dragon and the Wolf” does all these things as it brings Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) and Cersei (Lena Headey) face-to-face for the first time. While the possibility of a truce doesn’t interest the Queen of Westeros, the proof of what is coming for them all beyond the wall can’t be denied. Daenerys’ show of strength also isn’t lost on Cersei. Letting herself be talked into a truce by the one man she hates more than any other in the world, Cersei gives Daenerys what she was hoping for… except she has no plans to actually fulfill her promise to help protect the seven kingdoms against the army of the dead. So much for a Lannister always paying their debts.

Detective Comics #963 comic reviewBefore the Dark Knight can turn his attention to searching for his missing partner he needs to track down Tim Drake‘s significant other who has traded in her Bat-Family membership for an alliance with Anarky. First created by Alan Grant and Norm Breyfogle back in 1989, Anarky is an unusual villain with a focus on justice through chaos. The current Rebirth version seems a bit more stable than some incarnations of the character over the years, although we’ve seen only the briefest glimpse.

The issue also gives us a short back-up story concerning Clayface which foreshadows the end of his heroic turn (hopefully not too soon, as I’ve liked this new path for the character).

Dark Matter - Nowhere to Go television review

Dark Matter closes out its Third Season with a bit of a messy episode which opens with Two (Melissa O’Neil choosing not to shoot Ryo (Alex Mallari Jr.) and closes with the death of a member of the Raza’s crew and the arrival of an armada of black ships through a breach in space-time. While overburdened a bit with too much plot, the episode certainly provides its share of memorable moments including Two’s betrayal, the resurrection of the alien storyline, Three‘s (Anthony Lemke) capture, and the destruction of both the Blink Drive and the Marauder.

Killjoys - Reckoning Ball TV review

The penultimate episode of Killjoys‘ Third Season deals primarily with D’Avin (Luke Macfarlane) attempting to come up with a plan to stop Aneela (Hannah John-Kamen) that doesn’t involve Dutch‘s (John-Kamen) death as well. The idea of leading her crazy doppelganger into a trap through a fake memory placed within the Green is a good one, but (as is often the case) things hardly go according to plan. Meanwhile, Johnny (Aaron Ashmore) has his hands full with the arrival of a pregnant Delle Seyah Kendry (Mayko Nguyen) under a flag of truce. And, based on the episode’s final scene, she’s not the only one who has made an unexpected visit.
