Echo - Tuklo

Repercussions of Maya Lopez‘s (Alaqua Cox) recent actions begin to reverberate in “Tuklo” as Vickie (Thomas E. Sullivan) and his idiot white trash friends (Lindsey Moser and Erin Ownbey) attempt to sell Maya to the foot soldiers of the Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) who arrive in town leading to a shoot-out in the bowling alley. “Tuklo” also brings Maya face-to-face with Bonnie (Devery Jacobs) for the first time in years, and later with the one person she never expected to ever see again. The episode’s title comes from another ancestor (Dannie McCallum) of Maya as the sole female member of the Lighthorsemen. The sequence, framed as an old silent movie, is fun but, as with all of these flashbacks, still feels very disconnected from current events.

Despite their failure, Percy chooses to move forward with his quest to the Underworld (although he still doesn’t know how to get there).

Cobra Commander #1

Choosing not only to acknowledge but also incorporate the goofier elements from G.I. JOE: The Movie into the new shared G.I. JOE & Transformers universe is certainly an unexpected choice. The risk plays out all right in terms of background, although I’m hoping we see far less of Cobra-La going forward. Set before the creation of Cobra, the comic gives us the background the man who would become Cobra Commander as a scientist pushing the edges of science in Cobra-La who would then be sent out in to the world to further his own ambitions.

NCIS: Sydney - Bunker

“Bunker” gives us the ridiculous premise of a whole bunch of important VIPs allowing themselves to be locked in an underground bunker at an undisclosed location and nearly dying when the untested new technology which would release them fails. Among the group in the bunker Mackey (Olivia Swann) , Evie (Tuuli Narkle), and Blue (Mavournee Hazel). Meanwhile, JD (Todd Lasance) and DeShawn (Sean Sagar) investigate what initially appears to be an unrelated murder they then discover was the method the bunker saboteur used to get their invite.
