  • Title: Stargirl – Chapter Eleven: The Haunting
  • wiki: link

After making his appearance known to the Crocks at the end of the last episode, Icicle (Neil Jackson) returns home offering a message of peace (despite the whole murder thing just hours before). From there, Blue Valley’s favorite son makes his public return to a shocked Barbara (Amy Smart) who is able to guess his role in the death of the Crocks without any difficulty. Meanwhile, the JSA help Artemis (Stella Smith) search for her missing parents leading them to discover the villain’s lair and the fate of the Crocks at the hands of the JSA’s proposed new ally against the Ultra-Humanite. While the Humanite is the looming threat, it’s Icicle and the question of his role in Blue Valley moving forward (and the unique combination of fear, hatred, hope, and forgiveness his reemergence brings out from various characters) that is central to the episode.

NCIS: Hawai’i – Vanishing Act

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: NCIS: Hawai’i – Vanishing Act
  • wiki: link

While searching for a boy’s missing mother, NCIS discovers she’s a fugitive being chased both by a bounty hunter and criminals tied to the crime she was charged with. “Vanishing Act” gives us an episode that highlights both Jesse (Noah Mills), who spends time with the son, and Lucy (Yasmine Al-Bustami), who both works the case and is involved in the B-story involving a possible promotion which would mean leaving Hawai’i. I’m always up for a Lucy-centric story, and the episode delivers (even with the promise of her upcoming abscence). I’d guess the short hiatus will either be ignored (i.e. the show jumps forward after a couple episodes in tune with the mid-season break) or NCIS: Hawai’i will take Lucy’s absence to try and build-up other characters.
