Doctor Who - Kill the Moon

From the looks of things Clara‘s (Jenna Coleman) days as The Doctor‘s (Peter Capaldi) companion are coming to an end. Although I think it’s more than a little cheap to fracture the relationship in the very next episode after Danny Pink (Samuel Anderson) warns Clara about The Doctor, the situation the Time Lord puts his companion in makes sense… at least from his point of view. Attempting to appease Clara, The Doctor takes his companion and Courtney (Ellis George) to the moon during a pivotal moment in human history to make young Courtney into the special young girl that Clara insists she is.

Hawaii Five-0 - The Complete Fourth SeasonThe Fourth Season of Hawaii Five-0 would see some change, most notably the introductions of Chi McBride as the head of the Hawaii Police Department’s S.W.A.T. team and pain in McGarrett‘s (Alex O’Loughlin) butt and Jorge Garcia as a conspiracy nut who helps 5-0 on a handful of cases, the departure of Catherine Rollins (Michelle Borth), and a subplot involving Kono (Grace Park) going into hiding (itself designed to hide Park’s pregnancy and absence from a large portion of the season).

Highlights from the season include Grover’s daughter being kidnapped, a 70 year-old murder during Japanese interment on the island, the discovery of an Al-Qaeda cell on the island, McGarrett and Grover hunting Grover’s old friend in the jungle, Danny (Scott Caan) and McGarrett getting trapped in the rubble of an explosion, murder at Chin-Ho‘s (Daniel Dae Kim) high school reunion, Chinese spies after a crashed satellite, Chin-Ho at the mercy of a serial killer, the murder of a secret service agent, a complicated bank heist planned by a young hacker (Nick Jonas), and the murder of Catherine’s partner.

Bones - The Lance to the Heart

While working to uncover the conspiracy inside the FBI that dates back to the days of J. Edgar Hoover and solve the murder of Sweets (John Francis Daley), Booth (David Boreanaz) and the Jeffersonian team take time out to say farewell to one of their own. Stopping Booth from going out and recklessly attacking the man (Sam Anderson) he thinks (but has no proof) is responsible for the death of Sweets, Bones (Emily Deschanel) gives her team enough time to follow the facts and uncover the true mastermind (JD Cullum) of the conspiracy.

Batman Beyond Universe #14

/ / Comics

Batman Beyond Universe #14Wrapping up the return of the Phantasm who attempts to prevent Terry Ginnis from learning that his father’s true killer is still at large (and tempting him into seeking vengeance), Batman Beyond Universe #14 offers more flashbacks to the events which splintered the Bat-Family and ended any chance of Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon‘s happily ever after.

Although not as strong as the previous month’s set-up, and with several of the final pages setting up future stories I have little to no interest in, Batman Beyond Universe #14 should still be worth a look for fans of Batman: Mask of the Phantasm and Batman Beyond and curious to see a pivotal moment in the Terry/Bruce relationship unfold.

Filled with plenty of action, hard choices, and Bruce Wayne loosing another adopted son and apprentice, the latest issue of Batman Beyond Universe is worth picking up even for those (like me) who may not stick around to see how the fallout between Bruce and Terry is finally resolved. Worth a look.

[DC, $3.99]
