More of “Chapter 3” takes place in the present as the Wookiee bounty hunter Black Krrsantan (Carey Jones) is sent to kill Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) by the Hutt Twins, Fett increases his small band by taking on some cybernetic youths who have been causing trouble in the city, and a new threat to the former bounty hunter arrives. The Wookiee’s failure leads to the rather quick exit of the Hutts, which is somewhat surprising. The introduction of the less-interesting Pyke Syndicate as the new threat to Fett ties into the flashback sequences as well providing us with the circumstances that caused the bounty hunter to leave his life with the Tusken Raiders.

Reacher – Welcome to Margrave

  • Title: Reacher – Welcome to Margrave
  • IMDb: link

Adapted from The Killing Floor, Lee Child‘s first Jack Reacher novel, Reacher introduces us to the title character by having the former military investigator turned drifter (Alan Ritchson) arrested in the southern town of Margrave, Georgia, for a murder he didn’t commit. While an alibi eventually clears him, his demeanor doesn’t endear him to Chief Detective Oscar Finlay (Malcolm Goodwin) who locks him upon along with another suspect who admits to the crime but also obviously isn’t guilty. While some might see this as Finlay using Reacher to get the truth out of the other suspect, that’s not how the episode presents things with Finlay mainly wanting both men out of his hair.

Moon Knight #7

/ / Comics

Moon Knight wants answers. The unknown villain calling himself Zodiac. has tortured Marc mentally, psychologically, and physically. He’s left him beaten with his home in ashes. Now Moon Knight wants answers and retribution.

Moon Knight #7 features Marc and his friends searching for answers about who this new villain is but running into several dead ends (some of them quite literal). There’s some fun moments here showcasing a variety of ways our hero searches for answers from talking over his problem with his therapist, threatening everyone in a secret underground club, and dangling a D-lister above an industrial shredder.

In the end Moon Knight doesn’t get any more information than he started with, but as Zodiac doesn’t appear to be going anywhere anytime soon, he shouldn’t have to want too long before their next run-in.

The opening episode of Single Drunk Female introduces us to walking dumpster fire Samantha Fink (Sofia Black-D’Elia) whose alcoholism costs the young woman her job, 30 days in rehab, community service for assault, and court-mandated attendance at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Forced to move back home, Sam’s sobriety only lasts a day before old habits resurface. Picking herself up once more, ignoring the passive-aggressiveness of a mother (Ally Sheedy) on her last nerve, who may have not been as supportive in the best of times, Sam’s new sober life begins again, this time in earnest.

In the Second Season finale of Alex Rider, Alex (Otto Farrant) and his friends are unable to prevent the launch of Damian Cray’s (Toby Stephens) game which secretly links the computers of various users all over the world creating a super computer for the evil billionaire. The evil plan makes just enough sense for YA fiction, and, despite it being a bit goofy, plays out fairly well. Cray’s targets include Air Force One, where he can obtain the final piece necessary to launch his attack, and Middle East drug fields which he plans to wipe out with a nuclear strike.
