How I Met Your Mother - The End of the Aisle

Heading into next week’s (long overdue) two-part series finale, “The End of the Aisle” deals with Robin‘s (Cobie Smulders) last-minute wedding jitters which are only enhanced when Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) delivers Robin her long-lost locket which she immediately realizes Ted (Josh Radnor) must have found. It takes both Ted, ignoring the words he has longed to hear from his former love, and later the woman (Cristin Milioti) who he will eventually marry and Barney himself to stop Robin from becoming a runaway bride and find the the only reason she needs to stay and to marry the man she loves.

“There’s something wicked in your town.”

Once Upon a Time - The Tower

Prince Charming‘s (Josh Dallas) fear of doing better as a father than he did with Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) is the common theme in both the flashbacks to the Enchanted Forest and to the current storyline in Storybrooke where Charming, Emma, and Hook (Colin O’Donoghue) all search for the Wicked Witch of the West (Rebecca Mader) not realizing the woman is already worming her way into Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) good graces.

Scandal - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Putting aside the drama of the Vice-President Sally Langston‘s (Kate Burton) murder of her husband, although we do get the subplot of Langston’s campaigning to steal away the NRA endorsement from Fitz (Tony Goldwyn), “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” deals primarily with the fallout of Jake‘s (Scott Foley) murder of three members of the Publius conspiracy including James (Dan Bucatinsky). Allowed to live, David Rosen (Joshua Malina) struggles with ignoring what happened and sweeping James’ murder, and the disappearances of two of his friends, under the rug as nothing more than a car jacking gone wrong.

Nova #15

/ / Comics

Nova #15After getting Cosmo the medical care he needs, Nova turns his attention to taking out Skaarn’s soldiers now that their leader has used Knowhere‘s transporters to plan a heist of a super-powered weapon from the armored vaults of The Keep. Of course it takes the young hero a few tries before finding a way to neutralize the threat.

The use of the teleporter also allows Sam to return to Earth to check in at school, sleep through most of his classes, and even cause a bit of unintended mischief before returning to Knowhere. Despite Sam being separated from Beta Ray Bill in the last issue, Nova #15 returns the space-horse who eventually makes his way back to Knowehere (after defeating the soldiers Nova keeps teleporting his way).

Ending on a cliffhanger, the comic brings the two heroes back together to stop Skaarn who, despite lacking his henchmen, has managed to steal a weapon embued with the Power Cosmic which sets up next month’s big throwdown. Worth a look.

[Marvel, $3.99]
