The writing for Obi-Wan Kenobi reminds me of that of WWE who consistently write themselves into a corner and have to write even worse outcomes to break the downward spiral they’ve trapped themselves in only to later complain they had no choice (other than, you know, not making the initial bad decisions that led them into such untenable situations). For Obi-Wan Kenobi the big takeaway appears to be that lightsabers are far less lethal than we’ve been led to believe. In a move that reeks of desperation after the discovery of a huge timeline mistake, Grand Inquisitor (Rupert Friend) returns. Turns out he’s fine. Lightsaber through the chest? Nah, that’s not enough to keep a good Sith down.

Kung Fu – The Source

  • Title: Kung Fu – The Source

Kung Fu wraps up its Second Season with Nicky (Olivia Liang) and Zhilan (Yvonne Chapman) follow Russell Tan (Ludi Lin) through a mystical door to Narni…, er, the Source (which turns out to look an awful lot like some of the woods the show has shot in before).

Mia (Vanessa Yao) follows as well, leading to a three-on-one fight against the super-powered Tan in an attempt to prevent him from escaping the crumbling realm with his new power. While not all three (apparently) survive, Zhilan is giving a bit of a redemptive hero moment in what may be her exit from the show.

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #293

/ / Comics

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #293 continues the current storylines with several of the Joes sneaking into the Cobra Casino on Cobra Island as high rollers. And… that’s about it. Despite being front and center on the cover, we don’t get any movement on a new Serpentor. And, despite Dr. Mindbender spilling his plans about a clone of Snake Eyes (whose various versions feature prominently on one of the comic’s variant covers) under Cobra’s control within in earshot of a Joe, there’s no new movement there either.
