Doctor Who - Boom

Inspired by a scene from “Genesis of the Daleks” where the Doctor extricates himself out of a landmine situation with relative ease, comes “Boom.” The Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) land in a battlefield on Kastarion 3 where the Doctor accidentally steps on a landmine and is forced to hold his position for the entire episode. It’s an interesting setup for an episode, as in many adventures it would be the companion, not the Doctor, to get themselves into a situation in need of saving.

Wonder Woman #9

Wonder Woman #9 is an interesting, and effective, way to prolong the Sovereign storyline without any real advancement. We need to know Wonder Woman is still being held by the evil organization but rather than show us her rotting in a cell over months, instead we see the world Diana creates in order to not fall into despair. And at the center of that world is Steve Trevor who acts as her sounding board and, in one crucial moment, reminds the Amazon that she can’t, even in a moment of weakness, ever give in.

Dead Boy Detectives - The Case of the Lighthouse Leapers

For their latest case, the detectives investigate a number of people who willingly are jumping to their deaths into the sea from the local lighthouse. Playing on the ideas of a siren’s call, albeit one with a more unusual creature revealed a the end, offers an unusual setup that is quite effective, especially after Crystal (Kassius Nelson)  becomes attracted to the call. The town’s reluctance to acknowledge the supernatural, including the local police, as illustrated in no one believing the eye witness of multiple people seeing a suicide helps explain how so much wacky stuff can go down without anyone giving it any mind.
