LEGO Star Wars: All-Stars - From Trenches to Wrenches television review

The new LEGO Star Wars offers a more open-ended universe for characters across all eras. The show’s first episode ties together several shorts previously released online with the premise of R0-GR (Matthew Wood) sharing adventures from his new autobiography to various characters. The stories range from his inglorious days as part of the Droid Army and adventures on various worlds over the years including Endor, Naboo, Jakku, Takodana, and Tatooine. Various characters show up both in the flashbacks and as R0-GR’s captive audience in the present including Han Solo, Chewbacca, R2-D2, Cassian, the Freemakers, Maz, Rose, and Admiral Ackbar. While lightweight, and mostly forgettable, the first episode of LEGO Star Wars: All-Stars still proves to be more fun that the mostly disappointing Star Wars Resistance.

Charmed - Something Wicca This Way Comes

Our Throwback Tuesday post takes us back to the city on the bay where the power of three will set you free. With the introduction of The CW’s new lackluster Charmed reboot it seemed like a good opportunity to return to the original. Airing 20 years ago, “Something Wicca This Way Comes” introduced fans to the three Halliwell sisters: the uptight Prue (Shannen Doherty), the worrisome Piper (Holly Marie Combs), and the free-spirit Phoebe (Alyssa Milano). The show’s initial episode sees the return of Phoebe to San Fransisco to live with Piper and Prue in their grandmother’s home. Phoebe’s discovery of the Book of Shadows in the attic, a mystical tome of family history and spells, activates the sisters’ powers to fight demons and devils over the show’s 178 episode run.

Hawaii Five-0 - Aia i Hi'ikua; i Hi'ialo television review

When one of McGarrett‘s (Alex O’Loughlin) old Navy SEAL buddies turns up dead with a stolen baby in a Cessna that makes an emergency landing on a Naval Air Craft Carrier, Steve is notified by NCIS and politely told to leave the investigation to the Navy. (Haven’t they ever watched the show?) The episode introduces Nazneen Contractor as NCIS Agent Emma Warren who orders McGarrett to stand down multiple times over the course of the episode (even going so far to arrest him at one point) before deciding it would be easier to work with Five-0 than against them. Working together, Five-0 and NCIS discover the reason behind the death of McGarret’s friend and reunite the child with its mother (Sarah Dumont).

Legacies - This is the Part Where You Run / Some People Just Want To Watch The World Burn TV review

The first two episodes of Legacies, a spin-off of The Originals (which was a spin-off of The Vampire Diaries), takes us to the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted whose students include witches, werewolves, and vampires struggling with their powers and place in the world. The episode reintroduces fans to tribrid Hope Mikaelson (Danielle Rose Russell) and twins Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) and Josie Saltzman (Kaylee Bryant) along with several new characters. The school, and characters, are introduced to viewers through a pair of new arrivals in new werewolf Rafael (Peyton Alex Smith) and his friend Landon (Aria Shahghasemi). The episodes play on expectations presenting Landon as a possible friend for the isolated Hope, then a thief and enemy, and back again as a potential friend doesn’t stick around to see if Hope forgives him for his deplorable behavior.
