Will Trent – Find a New Pond

“Find a New Pond” continues to push the show back to a status quo. While working at her security job, Angie (Erika Christensen) uncovers dark secrets at Waldorf Estates which put her in danger but also appear to have provided the extra push necessary to be reinstated to the force. While the episode makes note of Amanda’s (Sonja Sohn) new situation with Sunny (Kyrie Mcalpin), we don’t see developments on-screen relating to the duo (which suits me just fine as I’m not looking forward to the day this subplot begins taking serious chunks of time from the main characters).

Kung Fu Panda PO (99124)

I had never seen a Pantasy set until an ad caught my eye. Started in 2020, the company offers multiple building block sets many of which come from licensing deals with properties such as Astro Boy, Garfield, Snoopy, and Kung Fu Panda. Reasonably priced, and still discounted, I grabbed a couple of these sets starting with the Pantasy Po set which is available for $29.99.

Director Tim Fehlbaum‘s film stays with our newsmen covering their actions and perspectives as events unfold in real time, fighting to stay on the air and keep the coverage, and not providing the audience any information not uncovered by the team.
