Shifting Gears – Valentine’s

  • Title: Shifting Gears – Valentine’s
  • IMDb: link

On Valentine’s Day, the main storyline involves Matt (Tim Allen) visiting his wife’s grave and making a new friend (Nancy Travis). While the episode doesn’t set up Travis as a romantic interest, the interactions between them (first at the mausoleum and then at the pharmacy) does build on Matt learning how to move on after his wife’s death. Sadly, neither of the B-stories have much to offer in terms of Riley (Kat Dennings) fretting over a dance video which is really just an excuse for Dennings and Seann William Scott to dance badly, and Georgia (Barrett Margolis) getting sick when left alone with Carter (Maxwell Simkins), both feel very much lazy paint-by-number sitcom filler.

Transformers #17

Transformers #17 jumps around quite a bit to storylines both on Earth and on Cybertron. We see Thundercracker discovering the fate of Skywarp (but being unable to offer his friend any peace). We get Arcee and Beachcomber, along with the humans, searching for Ultra Magnus. We get the continuation of the Decepticon factions fighting each other spilling into the nearest human city forcing the Autobots to get involved, rescuing as many humans as they can. And, on Cybertron, we see the Autobots making a run at the Decepticons and the Hall of Sparks.
