Almost Paradise – Uncoupled

  • Title: Almost Paradise – Uncoupled
  • IMDb: link

Kai (Samantha Richelle) enlists the help of Alex (Christian Kane) to go undercover at a self-help retreat in order to investigate the cult in control of the private island and rescue a brainwashed young woman (Sarah Edwards) overwhelmed by their influence. The episode is also notable for the return of a vacationing Lockhart (John Storey) who ends up on the couples retreat alone after being dumped for a masseuse. Given a subplot of his own, involving him getting lost in the jungle, Lockhart doesn’t play much of a role in main story until the end of the episode.

Ahsoka – Fallen Jedi

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Ahsoka – Part Four: Fallen Jedi
  • wiki: link

While I have enjoyed moments in Ahsoka, the series has increasingly felt like world building for the next big Star Wars project rather than a standalone series with its own tale to tell. Glacially moving the plot incrementally forward, in a race to Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) neither side feels all that compelled to win yet, the fourth episode of the series does offer some individual moments of note. We get a lightsaber battle in the woods of Seatos with Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) killing the nameless Inquisitor eliminating all the preposterous fan theories about the character’s identity and importance to the series. We also get Ahsoka pairing off against Baylan Skoll (Ray Stevenson) who reveals he knew Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), without, of course, providing any helpful details to his character or past.

One of four one-shots spilling out of IDW’s Saturday Morning Adventures line, Endless Summer – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures offers a one-shot story of the four turtles looking for a little respite at local theme park where their appearance isn’t likely to cause problems given the number of visitors in costumes (although most are cowboys and not, you know, mutant turtles also wearing cowboy outfits). Sadly, their time off is interrupted by discovering Krang and Traag‘s secret base in the theme park.
