Hawaii Five-0 - Imi loko ka 'uhane

Presented from the perspective of talk show host Savannah Walker (Aisha Tyler), the episode is shown in flashbacks of Walker and her camera crew shadowing Five-0 for an exclusive segment for her show that the Governor (Richard T. Jones) decided would make for good PR for the department and the state. After a rocky start in which both McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) and Danny (Scott Caan) refuse to be interviewed on-camera, things pick up with the discovery of a mutilated body and the unexpected appearance of Wo Fat (Mark Dacascos) at the crime scene.

Scarlet Spider #16

/ / Comics

Scarlet Spider #16After the disappointing last couple of issues where the series seem to loose its sense of fun for a far darker turn things pick up when Kaine is dragged to the rodeo against his will by Aracely and his new friends and the new Scarlet Spider is forced into action against a giant drunken lovelorn hero who shows up win back his girlfriend. It’s every bit as awesome as it sounds.

Christopher Yost has terrific fun with Kaine’s narration here as his day gets more and more unbelievable. Hell, he’s even forced to ride a horse and try and lasso the out-of-control Armadillo, and he’s left speechless when the scene plays out far differently than he expected.

Aside from the ridiculously awesome circumstances, Scarlet Spider #16 continues laying groundwork for ongoing stories including Kaine finally giving into his feelings for Annabelle, and a dire warning to Kaine to leave Houston which the hero never receives. Hopefully the foreboding won’t infringe too much on the glorious insanity the comic delivers when it is at its best. Must-read.

[Marvel, $2.99]

Bones‘ inconsistent Eighth Season comes to a close with the return of genius serial killer Christopher Pelant (Andrew Leeds) who has made Booth (David Boreanaz) the focus of his latest attacks by murdering agents close to him beginning with an old friend Pelant shot 11 times and left on display for Booth and Bones (Emily Deschanel) to find. Pelant’s second murder leaves a single witness (Sarah Stouffer) who describes a killer the team believes may be a survivor of a FBI raid of a cult a decade before. Sweets (John Francis Daley) also discovers Pelant is using the psychiatrist’s own published work to muddy the water and disguise his latest series of murders.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Karai's Vendetta

Until recently I’ve stayed away from the newest cartoon version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles due to its awful hip-hop version of the classic TMNT theme song and the CGI design of the series which is a far cry from both the original comic and popular 80’s cartoon. After a couple of episodes I’ve gotten used to the look of the new show (but not the theme), and although the series seems aimed at a younger audience than even the original there is still some fun to be had.
