Invincible – You Want a Real Costume, Right?

“You Want a Real Costume, Right?” gets off to a bit of an odd start extended sequence with no dialogue with two super-powered robbers without a real explanation. The segment isn’t bad, it is just never explained (and neither baddie’s ability seems to tie into this). However, the end to that story with Oliver (Christian Convery) inserting himself into Mark (Steven Yeun) super-heroing is the major focus of the episode as Oliver gets his first costume (and Mark gets a rebrand), heading into a situation where Oliver proves himself to be his father’s son by brutally murdering the Maulers (Kevin Michael Richardson) to the utter horror of Mark and the GDA.

Watson – Redcoat / Wait for the Punchline

  • Title: Watson – Redcoat / Wait for the Punchline
  • IMDb: link | link

The pilot episode of Watson was pretty rough. The next two in which Dr. John Watson (Morris Chestnut) helps a man believing himself to be a colonial British soldier (Damian O’Hare) after being shot in the head and a stand-up comedian who collapses from a hereditary condition, all while the minions of Moriarty (Randall Park) work through Watson’s friend to screw with the good doctor, does show some improvement. The Moriarty segments involving Shinwell Johnson (Ritchie Coster) remain incredibly awkward, and Watson’s team of doctors still hasn’t quite clicked although Ingrid (Eve Harlow) and Sasha (Inga Schlingmann) both get some nice moments over the two episodes, although I’m still not interested in any of their personal lives (I’m already tired of Watson’s as well).
