Once Upon a Time - The Song in Your Heart television review

Music comes to Storybrooke with “The Son in Your Heart,” which allows most of the cast to burst into song in flashbacks to the Enchanted Forest and Emma (Jennifer Morrison) to find the strength to stand-up to, but not defeat, the Black Fairy (Jaime Murray). Despite the extravaganza, the big music moment doesn’t save the day or vanquish the villain, but only buy our heroes a few more moments to be together before the next big curse. It makes you wonder why the hoopla wasn’t saved for the finale, and certainly makes you question the Black Fairy’s logic of ruining last week’s swerve of making everyone think Rumpelstiltskin (Robert Carlyle) had killed her. Rather than using the element of surprise to take down the Savior, the Black Fairy announces her presence to all her enemies. As for the Dark One, the noticeable absence of both Belle (Emilie de Ravin) and Gideon (Giles Matthey) makes it rather convenient that no one is on hand to call the villain on his latest bad choice.

Elektra #3 comic reviewTrapped in Murderworld by Arcade along with a group of athletes, D-list celebrities, and reality-TV stars, the game begins as the super-villain’s predators begin hunting the group. It soon becomes obvious Elektra can’t save any of the other contestants and has to focus on staying alive and killing as many of the hunters as possible.

Elektra #3 contains a flashback to Elektra working with Daredevil in an attempt to be less murdery and more heroic. The failed lesson there and her inability to save the ill-prepared other contestants have a common theme about Elektra’s struggle against what she does so well: kill. Of course we’re stuck with the same common problem with any Daredevil flashback since he altered reality in ways which still haven’t been fully explained. What Elektra remembers is, at best, only partially true.

Samurai Jack – Episode XCVIII television review

Continuing the major turning point from the end of “Episode XCVII,” freed from his suicidal impulses but not from his internal demons, Jack (Phil LaMarr) will journey inward in search of himself and his missing sword leaving Ashi (Tara Strong) to prevent an army of Aku‘s (Greg Baldwin) minions and the High Priestess (Grey Griffin) from killing the samurai. By the end of the episode the samurai will find himself, find his sword, and look far more like the original character than we’ve seen this season.
