Wait, someone made a good Dungeons & Dragons movie? The long-delayed film various studios have been trying to make for a decade finally hits the big screen. It may only be spring, but Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is the type of summer popcorn flick you’ve been waiting for. Sure, those who know D&D are going to get more references than those just sitting down for a fun action-comedy, including a nice nod to the 80s cartoon, but, despite your level of familiarity with the role-playing game going in, you’re in for a great time.

Scooby-Doo – Large Dragon at Large

  • Title: What’s New, Scooby-Doo? – Large Dragon at Large
  • wiki: link

As part of Dragon Week, Throwback Tuesday takes as back to What’s New Scooby-Doo? for a mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. Mystery, Inc. discovers a dragon terrorizing a renaissance fair in Scotland. While mostly running from the creature, in ways that offer throwbacks to the earlier Scooby series with characters running up stairs or through various doors (here through the use of a maze), eventually a captured Velma (Mindy Cohn) makes the most important discovery to lead her to the secret of the dragon and the person responsible. We aren’t given a trap, and with the dragon revealed to be robot we don’t get the classic unmasking either, but otherwise this dragon-themed episode works well enough.

Taking place long enough after the previous episode for all the rebuilding on Pabu to be completed and the Bad Batch to grow comfortable in their new locale, “Tipping Point” begins pulling some threads together from various stories. After rescuing three Clones from the Empire, Echo (Dee Bradley Baker) returns to the squad with intelligence he needs Tech‘s (Baker) help decrypting, intelligence alluding to what the Empire is doing with their former soldiers including Crosshair (Baker) who we see tortured more this episode as well. While not advancing any of these stories all that much, it does bring Echo back into the fold and hold out hope for Crosshair as well (if he can hold out under Imperial torture long enough for his former squad mates to find him).
