Unable to return to her time, The Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) takes Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) back to the 50s where they discover odd goings on at a local movie theater which is now haunted by Lux Imperator (Alan Cumming), another member of the Pantheon of Discord, who has taken the form of a cartoon character on the screen and has pulled the audience into the film. The Doctor and Belinda meet a similar fate, although they are able to break out of the film and find a way to defeat Lux… by giving it exactly what it wants?

Reacher – L.A. Story / Unfinished Business

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Reacher – L.A. Story| Unfinished Business
  • IMDb: link | link

After a (bit too prolonged) trip to Los Angeles to set up the gun buy and trap the bad guys, the final two episodes of the series push Duffy (Sonya Cassidy) to bring the case to the ATF over  Reacher‘s (Alan Ritchson) objections. They quickly bench the group, set up a sting for the gun sale, and walk right into a trap set by Xavier Quinn (Brian Tee). Reacher manages to survive the blood bath, but the ATF is going to need some new guys. With the guard rails off again, Reacher turns his attention back on the family compound and revenge.

Titans #22

/ / Comics

A new arc begins here beginning with a flashback to Absolute Power and explaining it was Terra who restored and freed Deathstroke during Amanda Waller‘s reign of tyranny. Jumping forward, we don’t get a confrontation between the Titans and their deadliest foe, instead we get the group (with Vanadia) looking over a crime scene where Nightwing reconstructs the events of a prison break (“Boy-Wondering” as Starfire calls it) providing the action of the issue in another series of flashbacks.

Watson – Take a Family History

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Watson – Take a Family History
  • IMDb: link

The past and present lies of Ingrid (Eve Harlow), including an incredibly coincidental connection to Mary (Rochelle Aytes), are brought out in the open when she’s forced to come clean after the sister (Kiera Allen) she snuck into the medical study starts to have complications. Even after bringing the case to Watson (Morris Chestnut) and the group, Ingrid attempts to initially hide what she’s done although eventually she’ll need to lay all her cards bare. We’re given extended flashbacks with younger actresses playing Ingrid and her sister (Amanda Arcuri and Beatrice Schneider) showcasing dark moments of the young woman’s past that put her onto her current path. Consequences of her current actions may make Moriarty’s (Randall Park) offer all the more appealing (which is really the point of the episode).

Uncanny X-Men #13

/ / Comics

A new four-part arc kicks off in Uncanny X-Men involving both the Outliers and flashbacks to a mutant in the pre-Civil Rights era named Henrietta Benjamin who travels from Chicago down south to Louisiana. While both are interesting, and very much separate, it’s a bit unclear how to stories fit together yet. However, they do involve Haven House and the bizarre tomb known as the Artery which Deathdream leads his friends to in the middle of the swamp (where they also encounter another familiar face). Somehow, I’m guessing Henrietta’s fate will play a role in where the Outliers go from here.
