Supergirl – Event Horizon

Alan Rapp / October 7, 2019 / Television Reviews

Title: Supergirl – Event Horizon
wiki: link

Much of Supergirl‘s Fifth Season premiere deals with the friendship between Kara (Melissa Benoist) and Lena (Katie McGrath), who discovered Kara’s secret at the end of last season. While continuing to still be oblivious that her best-friend is Supergirl, Lena begins finding ways to get her revenge. First, she sells of The Daily Planet to an old friend (Julie Gonzalo) who wants to take the newspaper in the 21st Century (by gutting any real news reporting in favor of monetization and clicks). Next, she prepares to reveal Kara’s secret to the world on the night Kara is set to receive the Pulitzer Prize for her reporting of Lex Luthor‘s machinations last season. Only Kara’s admission prevents Lena from continuing with her plan, in the episode’s best scene of Supergirl tearing up while admitting her mistakes to Lena, although Lena’s final scene suggests Kara is far from forgiven (whatever Ms. Luthor may say to Supergirl’s face).

Title: NCIS – Into the Light

“Into the Light” concludes the two-part season premiere featuring the resurrected Ziva David (Cote de Pablo). The episode includes quite a bit of misdirection as the soldiers of the captured Sahar (Mouzam Makkar) attempt two suicide bombings on members of Congress, although it is discovered that neither one was ever meant to be successful. It also raises some suspicions against Ziva who makes some questionable choices in order to put her own plan in action and take down Sahar’s complete cell in one move.

Tom Payne stars as Malcolm Bright, a FBI profiler fired in the show’s pilot episode not for his inability to solve cases (which he excels at) but his inability to get along with others and concerns about his mental stability. Picking up a new job with the NYPD, Malcolm’s first case involves a serial killer who is a copycat of Malcom’s father (Michael Sheen) who killed more than 23 victims before Malcolm turned him in as a child. Still haunted from his own childhood, Malcolm’s nights involve restraints and night terrors stemming from discovering his father’s hobby years before and his days, while not investigating crimes, involve spending time with his ambitious sister (Halston Sage) and doing his best to avoid spending time with his overbearing mother (Bellamy Young).

Hawaii Five-0 – Ua ‘eha ka ‘ili i ka maka o ka ihe

Alan Rapp / September 30, 2019 / Television Reviews

Title: Hawaii Five-0 – Ua ‘eha ka ‘ili i ka maka o ka ihe
wiki: link

Season Ten of Hawaii Five-0 largely glosses over the events which ended last season, other than to reveal it was Jerry (Jorge Garcia) who was shot at the end of the season allowing Hawaii Five-0 to write off the character as a series regular (although possibly bring back Garcia in a recurring role somewhere down the line). Other than Jerry’s recovery and subsequent life-change, the episode deals with the introduction of a new character in Quinn Liu (Katrina Law), former staff sergeant with Army CID, who is looking into the disappearance of some missing veterans that have turned up on the island as mercenaries hired to take out a list of gang targets.

Title: The Good Place – Chapter 40: A Girl from Arizona, Part 1
wiki: link

The Good Place returns for its final season with Eleanor (Kristen Bell) taking the lead assuming the role of the architect and welcoming the new entries into the experiment that could well determine the fate of all human souls in the future. Although Michael (Ted Danson) has recovered from the anxiety which forced Elanor into the lead role, Janet (D’Arcy Carden) is over-worked, Jason (Manny Jacinto) is still Jason, and Chidi (William Jackson Harper) has chosen to have his mind wiped leaving him as blissfully unaware about the truth of his surroundings as the four test subjects.
