The Librarians and the Fangs of Death

I’m going to rename this one “The Librarians and the Werewolves of the Super Collider.” Spurred on by an apocalyptic vision, Flynn (Noah Wyle) journeys with Eve (Rebecca Romijn) to bring Charlene (Jane Curtain) home. Finding, but almost immediately loosing, her, Flynn and the other Librarians go in search of Charlene again which leads them to an underground super collider in Canada full of werewolves (Don’t you hate it when that happens?) transformed by Anubis brought forth by Apep as part of his plan to destroy The Library and release Pure Evil into the world.

The Flash - Killer Frost

“Killer Frost” shakes up Team Flash more than a little. After stepping in with Vibe (Carlos Valdes) to help save the Flash (Grant Gustin) from Savitar, Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) begins to loose control of her powers and become Killer Frost. Attacking her friends and abducting Julian Albert (Tom Felton), Caitlin becomes desperate to find Doctor Alchemy as she believes a villain capable of bestowing powers on other might be able to take them away. In perhaps the most obvious reveal of the show’s history, we learn the true identity of Alchemy, but another reveal is far more Earth-shattering for Cisco. Sadly, the events of the episode also mean Barry will have no trouble finding things to mope about and blame himself for in the near future (including an unexpected career change).

Moana

Moana is your typical Disney Princess animated feature set around the coming of age story of its heroine. Our title character is Moana (Auli’i Cravalho), the daughter of a Polynesian chieftain (Temuera Morrison) who is drawn to the ocean despite her father’s strict rules about never journeying farther than the reef. However, circumstances force Moana to defy her father’s wishes and go in search of the legendary demi-god Maui (Dwayne “It’s Okay to Call Me The Rock Again” Johnson) whose help she will need to save her home from a decay that began centuries ago because of the god’s rash actions.

Aside from working in some local culture and flavor, as it did with The Princess and the Frog, Mulan, and Pocahontas, Disney doesn’t stray too far from its comfort zone here. We get a couple cute animal sidekicks, some big musical numbers, and a hero’s journey. (Although the film lacks a true Disney villain.) However, with the number of these the studio has churned out over the years it knows how to hit the right notes. It’s also worth noting this is the first time since Aladdin where Disney has embraced a larger-than-life sidekick voiced by such a strong personality.

Jessica Jones #2

/ / Comics

Jessica Jones #2After others had tried and failed to get answers out of her, Luke Cage confronts Jessica Jones for answers about their missing child. Notable mainly for he confrontation between the two (which, when it doesn’t go that well for either hero, Jessica runs away from by jumping several city blocks), Jessica Jones #2 may not give Luke any answers about his little girl but the reader will discover the truth.

Yep, Jessica’s personal life remains a trainwreck (with no signs of that changing anytime soon). Things don’t go any better on the professional front as Jessica’s client turns up dead. Before she can deal with that bit of bad news, however, Jessica is attacked by the Spot who abducts the private investigating super-hero in broad daylight in the middle of the street.
