Killjoys - Heart-Shaped Box

Directly following the last episode, “Heart-Shaped Box” opens with D’Avin (Luke Macfarlane) struggling with the realization that Sabine (Tori Anderson) is a Level-6 and the reality of the messy outcome of their intimate night together. Basically, he screwed the goo right out of her. Still alive, but lacking her enhanced healing abilities or psychological conditioning, D’Avin and Dutch (Hannah John-Kamen) work the Level-6 to find answers about what is really going on, why Khlyen (Rob Stewart) sent her to spy on D’Avin, and what the Black Root is really after.

Once Upon a Time – The Complete Fifth Season

Once Upon a Time - The Complete Fifth SeasonThe Fifth Season of Once Upon a Time offers trips to the Enchanted Forest, Camelot, and the Underworld while also delivering Emma Swan‘s (Jennifer Morrison) far-too-temporary time as new Dark One. Season Five is somewhat frustrating as it explores some interesting ideas only to forcibly reset the status quo by the end of the season. I equally enjoyed Emma in the role of reluctant villain and Rumpelstiltskin (Robert Carlyle) forced into playing hero, but shoving both characters back into their boxes by mid-season destroys all the momentum heading into the Underworld arc.

Highlights include Amy Manson‘s recurring role as Merida, the return of Mulan (Jamie Chung) and Ruby (Meghan Ory) and their adventure in Oz, events in Camelot finally explained, the introduction of the first Dark One, Rumpelstiltskin’s reunion with his wife, the introduction of Gaston (Wes Brown), and the truth behind Henry‘s (Jared Gilmore) heartbreak.

Darth Vader #24

/ / Comics

Darth Vader #24Never underestimate the power of the Dark Side. Vader has been defeated by Cylo-V and trapped within the mechanical body which the cybernetic genius has completely shut down. But just because the Dark Lord of the Sith is down doesn’t necessarily mean he’s out.

Taking place mostly inside the mind of Vader we see glimpses of Mustafar and the choices of Anakin Skywalker that continue to dominate his destiny. It’s an interesting issue to see the events played out from Vader’s point-of-view, we even see Vader responsible for destroying Anakin at one point. The point of the issue is Anakin is dead, and through the power of sheer will the presence that impossibly wills the dormant mechanical body into action belongs solely to Darth Vader.

Supergirl - The Complete First SeasonCasting Melissa Benoist as Kara Zor-El, the First Season of Supergirl added Superman’s cousin to the DC television stable. Not as consistent as Arrow, and not as fun as The Flash, Supergirl had her growing pains in the First Season as Kara worked to balance her life as assistant to a demanding media mogul (Calista Flockhart) and working with a secret government agency to corral super-powered prisoners who escaped from a Kryptonian prison.

Highlights of the show’s First Season include a crossover with the Flash, Supergirl exposed to Red Krptonite and the Black Mercy, J’onn Jonzz‘s (David Harewood) history revealed, political upheaval at the DEO, the first appearance of the Toyman, and Supergirl’s struggle to defend the city without her powers.

Available on both Blu-ray and DVD, extras include deleted scenes, gag reel, and featurettes on Krypton, the Martian Manhunter, and Comic-Con.

Pretty Little Liars - Original G'A'ngsters

A.D. has a busy week covering his/her tracks. The murder of Sara Harvey (Dre Davis) followed by a break-in at Toby‘s (Keegan Allen) home and the destruction of an entire room of Mary Drake‘s (Andrea Parker) secret files on the Liars and all their acquaintances leave the girls with only a single new clue: Charlotte has a sibling. Noel Kahn‘s (Brant Daugherty) possession of the file stolen from Toby’s home seems to confirm the idea that he working against the Liars.
