Beyond - Into the Light TV review

Beyond closes out its First Season with Holden (Burkely Duffield) and Willa (Dilan Gwyn) blackmailed into leading Frost (Martin Donovan) into the Realm and to the bridge he has spent his entire life searching for. Not surprisingly, the reality doesn’t quite match up to the man’s dreams, forcing Holden and Willa to flee the Realm and leave Frost trapped inside with the bizarre creatures. It appears the method of their escape, teased earlier on this season, will have ramifications for both Holden and the Realm next season.

Big changes and revelations are in store in “The Villain That’s Become” setting up next week’s season finale.

/ / Comics

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #14Leaving John Stewart to work out the logistics of how to get the Green Lantern Corps to work with the Sinestro Corps going forward by pairing Lanterns up and sending them after missing members of the Sinestro Corps, Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner head out on a mission of their own.

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #14 gives each of the characters their own moments. For Guy Gardner this means tracking down an old snitch for valuable intelligence on where to look for the missing Lanterns. For Stewart that means leading the unsteady new enterprise of combining former enemies as partners. And for Jordan and Rayner that means working together to seek out the missing Saint Walker who it seems will also have a role to play in the new version of the Green Lantern Corps. However, first they pair will have to rescue the imprisoned Blue Lantern.

Elementary - Rekt in Real Life television review

The murder of a former gamer (Bobby Moreno) turned online personality and agent for eSports during his live streaming sends Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) and Watson (Lucy Liu) in search of the victim’s missing client, an Inuit (Connor Johnston) who Sherlock believes has been framed for the crime. The true motive takes more than a little untangling as the detectives slowly unravel the motives which it turns out don’t have to deal with a $2,000,000 cash prize, cut-throat competition, human traffickers, or prostitution, but instead involve land rights in the missing gamer’s hometown. There are certainly some interesting pieces here, but it turns out some of the red herrings and wrong turns are more interesting than the final reveal.

Super Sons #1

/ / Comics

Super Sons #1 comic reviewRobin and Superboy get their own team-up title in Super Sons. Benched by Batman for not taking his studies more seriously, a bored Damian shows up in Kansas to see how the other half lives. Hiding in a disguise as the school bus driver, Damian spends some time getting a measure of Jon Kent before deciding to reveal himself.

Super Sons #1 plays up the differences of the two super-hero children while showing us Damian as a bad influence who will likely get Jon into lots of trouble. Convincing Superboy to investigate break-ins in Metropolis, the pair head out only to run into the city’s new hero (and Superman’s former arch-nemesis) while looking into robberies at LexCorp facilities.
