Scooby-Doo! - Ghastly Ghost Town

Scooby Sunday takes us back to another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. Premiering in September 1972, the first episode of The New Scooby-Doo Movies restructured the show into double-sized episodes written around celebrity guest-stars. The results were mixed, and the consistent quality of the animation does suffer as well. “Ghastly Ghost Town” was not one of the stronger episodes in which the gang run into the Three Stooges who have bought an old ghost town and are having trouble turning it into a theme park because of several odd events one of which includes an out-of-control robotic dinosaur.

The Wrath of Becky

Set three years after the events of Becky, our sociopathic teenager has found some relative peace after going to war with the Neo Nazis who murdered her father. Successfully running from every foster home offered to her, Becky (Lulu Wilson) has found a new home with the elderly and unprying Elena (Denise Burse) and a crappy job as a waitress at a local diner. A run in with a trio of assholes, however, will change the course of Becky’s path once more in this dark comedic thriller that proves one of the oldest rules to be true: never mess with people who serve you your food.

Smallville Saturday takes us back to another kind of threat for Clark (Tom Welling) when a dirty Metropolis cop (Cameron Dye) discovers his secret and blackmails Clark into helping him. There’s quite a bit happening in the episode, not all of which can actually be resolved before the end including both Martha (Annette O’Toole) and Jonathan (John Schneider) being taken in for questions in a murder investigation based on Phelan‘s frame job that wouldn’t necessarily just immediately work itself out after his complicity in other crimes came to light. Despite that oversight, the episode is a standout of the First Season with Clark facing an entirely different kind of challenge with his powers, and his adoptive parents, being used against him.

Ahsoka - Dreams and Madness

The penultimate episode of Ahsoka confirms the show’s purpose as a prequel and filler to the “real story” Disney will no doubt get around to eventually. It’s also important to note that, as in the case of many episodes of the series, there are absolutely no consequences for any characters in this episode. What “Part Seven” does offer is some Sabine (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) and Ezra Bridger (Eman Esfandi), who apparently has gotten less adept with the Force since we saw him last, time together with her being more than a bit coy about how she managed to reach him, Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) making to the other galaxy and eventually to the planet for a reunion, and Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) using the resources as his disposal to stall the Jedi providing more time for his escape.
