Taking the case of a couple of recently murdered local jocks, Edwin (George Rexstrew), Charles (Jayden Revri), and Crystal (Kassius Nelson) soon discover that, despite the nice words other students at the school had for them, there were many with motive for wanting them dead including the ghost the raise of the girl (Sarah Desjardins) they drove to suicide and the latest victim (Mya Lowe) of their cruelty. The B-story starts out sweet with Niko (Yuyu Kitamura) playing matchmaker with the reluctant Jenny (Briana Cuoco), pushing her on a date with her secret admirer (Lindsey Gort).

Charlie's Angels - Angels on Horseback

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to the tale of three beautiful former police officers turned private detectives working for a faceless boss known as Charlie. Murder on a bus on the way to the Sunwest Dude Rach leads the Angels and Bosley (David Doyle) undercover as separate guests at the ranch with Kelly (Jaclyn Smith) playing up the big city girl getting over failed marriage, Sabrina (Kate Jackson) playing up her knowledge of horses as a rodeo rider, and Kris (Cheryl Ladd) who quickly abandons her role as the buttoned up accountant from Iowa. As the title of the episode suggests, it’s mainly an excuse to get the Angels in to western wear and on horseback solving a crime including the climax of Kelly and Chris racing after the killers who have taken Sabrina hostage.

X-Men #35

X-Men #35 closes out the current comic series heading into a relaunch of the X-Men titles. The X-Men title (which Marvel using a bit of questionable math adding up various issues to also call it Uncanny X-Men #700) is an overpriced farewell to the Krakoa storyline with the return of the island, some mutant infighting, and then its return to the beyond. The issue is really for fans of the storyline which, like many X-Men arcs, I felt got bloated and unwieldy long before its end.
