F/X

  • Title: F/X
  • IMDb: link

Throwback Thursday takes us back to 80s action. 1986’s F/X, which would later spawn both a lesser sequel and 90s TV-show, stars Australian actor Bryan Brown as practical special-effects expert Roland Tyler. Enlisted by members of the Justice Department (Cliff De Young and Mason Adams) to fake the assassination of a mob witness (Jerry Orbach), Tyler agrees only for things to go wrong very quickly. Soon Tyler is running from corrupt cops and attempting to expose what is really going on with an overly-complicated plot that works best when you don’t put too much thought into how it all fits together.

While Watson (Morris Chestnut) and his team begin diagnosing a scared and erratic young woman (Caitlin Stasey) whose short-term memory resets every three minutes, Moriarty (Randall Park) blackmails Shinwell (Ritchie Coster) into messing with the good doctor’s medicine once again. This time, however, despite the hallucinations, Watson is clear enough to suspect the medication and the most likely source of its tampering. Stepping into to allow for an alternate fall guy (Ryan Robbins), Moriarty still reveals himself to Watson and recruits another member of his staff for purposes that are yet to be revealed.

Doctor Odyssey – Casino Week

  • Title: Doctor Odyssey – Casino Week
  • IMDb: link

Angela Bassett guest-stars as a cop who gets stuck aboard the Odyssey while looking for thieves who plan to rob the ship during Casino Week. Although one thief is caught while attempting to board, his two accomplices are still on the ship allowing the episode to offer up an eclectic list of red herrings including a pair of card sharks (Robbie Silverman and Angela Zhou) working the tables and a young woman named Daphne (Jade Pettyjohn) in desperate need of a heart transplant choosing to make the best of what little time she has left. The medical escapades are mostly minor, such as keeping Daphne in comfort as much as possible while Max (Joshua Jackson) helps Grant (Bassett) search for the robbers. And, in terms of ongoing storylines, Avery (Phillipa Soo) makes the first big decision regarding her future.
