While Luther (Tom Hopper) spends a little time with the Sparrows, Vanya (Elliot Page) makes an important change, Diego (David Castañeda) spends some time with his son, Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman) returns dejected, and Klaus (Robert Sheehan) and Five (Aidan Gallagher) take a road trip (giving us the episode’s title) that leads to an important discovery about the Umbrella Academy’s existence in this new timeline.

Riverdale – The Complete First Season

/ / Home Video
  • Title: Riverdale – Season One
  • wiki: link

Adapted from one of the longest running comic series, Riverdale brought the characters of Archie Comics to television albeit with a less wholesome vibe than their source material. In some ways it’s so unrecognizable, it took me some time to sit down and give the show a chance. However, despite the modern updates the show turns out to have more going on that you might expect.

The First Season introduces us to the core characters Archie Andrews (KJ Apa), Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart), Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes), and Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse) providing various friendship and relationship drama and a mystery to solve involving the disappearance of one of their classmates. In terms of crime solving it delivers, and thankfully with a lack of supernatural causes (unlike The CW’s Nancy Drew.).

Ms. Marvel & Moon Knight #1

/ / Comics

Continuing the story of someone sending out highly adaptable swarms of ratbots which began in Ms. Marvel & Wolverine #1, Ms. Marvel‘s search for answers takes her to the Midnight Mission to enlist the help of Moon Knight. Despite the bizarre naming and numbering of a series of separate team-ups which are connected, the odd pairing of Ms. Marvel and Moon Knight against a creepy threat works well. We even get Hunter’s Moon thrown in as a bonus.

The Second Season of Locke & Key offers the premiere of The Splattering at the local theater as the Locke children continue to use the various keys they’ve found, their mother (Darby Stanchfield) continues to be oblivious to the magic of the house, the police continue to search for the missing Ellie, and Dodge (Griffin Gluck/Laysla De Oliveira) and an out-of-control Eden (Hallea Jones) turn one of the unused bullets from the Black Door into the Demon Key. The movie is a hit with the locals, and also for Scot (Petrice Jones) who returns with news about an overseas school offering him a spot leading to mixed feeling for Kinsey (Emilia Jones), even without knowing her current boyfriend is a deranged killer.
