  • IMDb: link | link

The two-part season finale of Doctor Odyssey (which may turn out to be the series finale given the show has not yet been renewed) offers enough big event which we’ve seen sprinkled throughout the season. In the “Wave” an earthquake at the latest stop puts causes a tsunami which is bad timing for Max (Joshua Jackson) and a handful of guests, one with an injured knee, who can’t make it back to the ship and must see out higher ground and wait things out. Meanwhile, given the situation, the Odyssey (while taking on lots of locals in need of protection) is forced to return to deeper waters and ordered to leave the area (and their doctor behind).

Final Destination: Bloodlines

  • Title: Final Destination: Bloodlines
  • IMDb: link

I know it’s a pretty low bar, but the latest Final Destination is actually the best Final Destination film. We kick things off with an extended 60s sequence centered around young lovers Iris (Brec Bassinger) and Paul (Max Lloyd-Jones) at the grand opening of the Skyview Restaurant Tower which ends in the spectacular deaths of dozens of people. Big kudos to co-directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein as both in terms of the period look, and in the complicated sequence of events. There’s a craft to Final Destination: Bloodlines that sets it apart from the earlier films.

Batgirl #7

/ / Comics

Following the apparent death of Shiva in the last issue, Batgirl #7 kicks off a new arc diving into the origins of Cassandra Cain‘s mother as we launch into the first chapter of “The Book of Shiva” when Cassandra receives both a memoir and recording. If this issue is going to be the template we’ll likely get little of Cassandra, who we really only see at the beginning of the issue then stepping away as Shiva’s story is told to her through flashbacks.
