The Blacklist – Dr. Adrian Shaw
The capture of Alexander Kirk (Ulrich Thomsen) doesn’t last long, nor does the small bits of knowledge Lizzie (Megan Boone) has been able to scrape together about her past when she realizes the dying madman obsessed with her isn’t her biological father. The two-part episode includes an escape from a locked-down hospital wing, Reddington (James Spader) trading himself for Lizzie’s safe return, and a confrontation between Kirk and Reddington that suggests (but doesn’t confirm) a few important details about Lizzie’s parents.

Moon Knight #8
- Title: Moon Knight #8
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Jeff Lemire
- Artists: Wilfredo Torres, Francesco Francavilla, James Stokoe
Moon Knight #8 continues the schizophrenic adventures of our hero. Taking place mostly in Jake Lockley’s reality, the cab driver finds himself under arrest for murder and under suspicion for a series of recent killings. Escaping that reality, Moon Knight slingshots around both onto the movie set as Steven Grant and into the bizarre future fighting space werewolves. As the comic comes to a close, however, things get interesting as all three of his personalities comes face-to-face with Marc Spector back in the “real world” of Egyptian killers and pyramids in the middle of Manhattan. Whatever Marc has planned, he’ll obviously need the help of all aspects of himself to get it done. Worth a look.

Arrow – So it Begins
- Title: Arrow – So it Begins
- wiki: link
The trail of bodies left across the city leads to new tensions among Oliver (Stephen Amell) and his team, first because failed to tell them of the new threat in Prometheus, and second because the reasons for these killings tie back to Oliver’s early days as the Arrow and his list of dead bodies. Prometheus himself continues to be a mostly forgettable villain, another dark archer with a slightly different mask whose motivations the show’s writers continue to keep to themselves (and, no, I’m not taking that late reveal seriously). Things aren’t any easier on the mayoral front as the chaos Prometheus’ seemingly random killings has created threatens the peace and Thea (Willa Holland) discovers Quentin‘s (Paul Blackthorne) sobriety is a work of fiction.

Arrival
- Title: Arrival
- IMDb: link
We’ve seen this all before. Alien arrival movies have become a Hollywood staple, although the themes have varied allowing the sci-fi tales to cross genres from horror to comedy. Movies centered around first contact with aliens fall into two categories based on the reasoning behind the aliens arrival on Earth. Are they here to destroy (Independence Day, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Thing) or do that have more complicated, but ultimately benevolent, motivations (E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Contact)?
Adapted from the short story by Ted Chiang, Arrival is presented from the view of linguist extraordinaire Dr. Louise Banks (Amy Adams) who is brought in by the United States Government when one of twelve monolith-style alien space ships which have arrived on Earth lands in Montana. Racing to be the first country to decipher just what the aliens want, the U.S. gives Dr. Banks control of the team along with physicist Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner). Together the pair work together to begin attempting to communicate with the squidish Heptapods whose language comes from visual drawings created by expelling ink from their tentacles.
