Legacies - Goodbyes Sure Do Suck television review

Legacies says goodbye to a one of its core cast as Rafael (Peyton ‘Alex’ Smith) discovers he only has a single day to live. Although Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) finds a last-minute save by transporting Rafael to the prison world with his parents, theoretically allowing the character to return in limited fashion, much of the episode involves the various characters struggling to say farewell. The early season exit, following Josie (Kaylee Bryant) leaving school to spend time with her mother at the end of the season premiere, seems to suggest Season Three will shake things up a bit (although the episode was originally planned for the end of Season Two prior to the COVID truncated timeline). Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) continues to show some growth here as we see a glimpse of the possible relationship with Rafael which will now never happen.

Batman: Black and White #2

/ / Comics

Batman: Black and White #2 comic reviewThe second issue of Batman: Black and White #2 gives us five more stories of Batman. The best of the list comes from Sophie Campbell. “All Cats are Prey” is a silent story featuring Batman chasing Catwoman, once in a black costume and later once in a white costume which allows her to hide from him in the snow (an idea which she steals from seeing an all-white cat hide from her).

“The Devil is in the Detail” offers an adventure from Batman’s early career, in the style of an old newspaper cartoon, as the Dark Knight Detective searches for a killer decapitating victims in a devil’s ritual which leads back to seven members of the GCPD and Gordon’s boss. In “The Unjust Judge” Batman is unable to save a priest from a collapsed church but stays with the priest until the end.

MacGyver - Nightmares television review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to the original improvisational MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) armed only with genius-level intellect, a Swiss Army knife, and whatever he can cobble together to solve the problems of the week. “Nightmares” involves MacGyver being kidnapped after returning home from a mission overseas. Although is able to successfully hide the documents before the enemy agents capture him, they chose to poison him hoping that a 6-hour window to live will force the spy to give up their location. Robert O’Reilly is well-cast as the leader of the enemy agents who poisons MacGyver and later taunts him over his time running out.

Star Trek: Discovery - Su'Kal television review

The final arc of Star Trek: Discovery‘s Third Season begins with an episode named after the character the ship finds on planet at the epicenter of the Burn. For more than a hundred years, Su’Kal (Bill Irwin) has lived inside a radioactive nebula surrounding an entire world of Dilithium. The sheltered character reacts poorly the arrival of strangers Michael (Sonequa Martin-Green), Saru (Doug Jones), and Dr. Culber (Wilson Cruz) who he takes for programs of the deteriorating holodeck which has been his entire world. Unable to understand the concept of “outside,” his extraction becomes complicated. Circumstances aren’t helped with the arrival of Osyraa (Janet Kidder) and the Emerald Chain.
