Dragons: The Nine Realms – Magma Breather

  • Title: Dragons: The Nine Realms – Magma Breather
  • wiki: link

While the episode introduces a new dragon which gives the episode its title, “Magma Breather” is primarily about Tom (Jeremy Shada) attempting to prevent his mother, and her new rival, from uncovering the dragon cave while exploring the area for mineral deposits. With Tom attempting to stall his mother, the rest of Dragon Club kinda, sorta, (but not really) works to collapse the entrance into the larger club while really just getting miffed at D’Angelo‘s (Marcus Scribner) attempts to take command of them in Tom’s absence. While tempted to tell his mother the truth, the secret remains safely hidden for another episode.

Shadow War: Omega

/ / Comics

Shadow War: Omega comes to a close here with Geo-Force revealed to be the killer behind the death of Ra’s al Ghul and the attempts on the lives of both Talia al Ghul and Deathstroke as vengeance for what Leviathan did to his home country of Markovia. I’d say the story ends rather than concludes as the epilogue to Geo-Force’s defeat feeds right into Dark Crisis (which is actually already started before this story wraps).

The Blacklist – Marvin Gerard, Conclusion

Season Nine of The Blacklist concludes with a two-part finale revealing Reddington‘s (James Spader) lawyer Marvin Gerard (Fisher Stevens) to be the man behind Elizabeth Keen‘s death and the recent attempts to steal Red’s criminal empire from under him. The first episode fills in the gap explaining reasons for Gerard’s choices, mostly jealousy over Red giving away what Gerard saw as rightfully his, through a series of flashbacks while Reddington and the task force both search for the man only to get in each other’s way. The two-parter ends in typical Blacklist fashion with Red getting his revenge while still helping the show reset the status quo and, as a bonus, lay the foundation for next season’s threat.

Halo – Unbound

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Halo – Unbound
  • IMDb: link

Master Chief’s (Pablo Schreiber) life on the run comes to a quick end. In “Unbound,” Master Chief takes Kwan (Yerin Ha) to an old friend (Bokeem Woodbine) who escaped from the UNSC to live in an asteroid field. Leaving Kwan their at the end of the episode and returning to Dr. Halsey (Natascha McElhone) with only minimal more information about the artifact, Chief ends up back where he started except now he’s a prisoner who the UNSC cannot trust. Ending the character’s self discovery without much self discovery feels like a wasted opportunity leaving his future in doubt and abandoning Kwan’s story altogether.
