The Lazarus Project – Episode 2

  • Title: The Lazarus Project – Episode 2
  • IMDb: link

While the interrogation of the prisoner captured in the last episode does weave into the end of the episode, “Episode 2” primarily deals with two separate storylines. The first is George (Paapa Essiedu) being rocked by events involving Sarah’s (Charly Clive) accident. The other, coincidentally taking place on the same night George and Sarah met, are the repeated attempts of Anjli Mohindra (Anjli Mohindra) and her former partner (Brian Gleeson) to stop the end of the world. This helps explain her attempts to ease George’s pain based on her own loss and provide some interesting insight in how many of the reset timelines in which George and Sarah didn’t get together, or even meet, at a party the same night the world ended.

Sir H. Rider Haggard‘s novel has been adapted and referenced numerous times over the years in film, television, and radio but none more famously than the 1950 adaptation starring Stewart Granger as talented but weary English big game hunter and adventurer Allan Quatermain who, against his better judgement, is hired by a woman (Deborah Kerr) in search of her missing husband who disappeared while searching for a diamond mine in uncharted regions of Africa.

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #9

Taking place in Crystal Cove rather than Gotham City, Batman, Batgirl, and Commissioner Gordon are all on hand to see Mystery, Inc. be awarded the key to the city (and another gift which is saved for the last panel). However, when a group of hypnotized townspeople, all dressed as clowns, disrupt the scene, the celebration turns with Mystery, Inc. eventually being arrested, Batman chasing the wrong villain, and leaving Batgirl and Scooby-Doo to save the day and prevent the gang from being sentenced to prison (albeit by a villain with no real legal powers).
