Darth Vader #6 comic reviewWith his search into the death of Padme Amidala concluded, and conflicted by the answers (or lack therof) he found, Darth Vader returns to Coruscant to find an the Emperor none too pleased with the self wallowing of his apprentice. Believing Vader has lost his edge, Palpatine instructs his disciple on the ways of the Dark Side of the Force.

Charlie's Angels - Angels in Paradise television review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to the tale of three beautiful former police officers turned private detectives working for a faceless boss known as Charlie. The show’s Second Season premiere offers a series of firsts for the show. First, “Angels in Paradise” marks the first two-part episode of the series (soon to be followed by the second). And second, the episode offers the first major change to the core cast as the exiting Farrah Fawcett is replaced by Jill‘s younger sister Kris (Cheryl Ladd). And third, the Angels venture far outside their comfort zone (both literally and figuratively) when they head to Hawaii after Charlie is kidnapped by a gangster (France Nuyen) wanting to exchange the Angels’ boss for her husband (Tommy Fujiwara) who she needs the Angels to break out of prison.

Carmen Sandiego - The Day of the Dead Caper television review

Carmen‘s (Gina Rodriguez) search for mother is put on pause when she runs across a promising young thief named Sonia (Jeannie Tirado) in Mexico City on the Day of the Dead who has caught the eye of a V.I.L.E. recruiter (Sylvia Villagran). Although Sonia is at first uninterested in traveling to any sort of school, both Carmen’s abilities and her attempts to convince Sonia not to enlist have the opposite effect she intended. The Carmen/Sonia dynamic is fun for an episode, and Sonia is one character who I wouldn’t mind seeing more of in the future. Eventually Sonia proves to be as much like Carmen as she hoped, both helping Carmen escape V.I.L.E. capture and choose a path of her own inspired by the woman in the red coat and fedora.
