Franklin & Bash - Gone in a Flash

In the show’s Third Season finale Franklin (Breckin Meyer) and Bash (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) defend Pindar (Kumail Nanjiani) who is sued by Rob Lowe for invasion of privacy after Pindar’s drone crash lands on the actor’s deck. Although the pair get the charges dismissed, Pindar lands in even hotter water when evidence from his computer (used to prove he wasn’t spying on Rob Lowe) is used to reopen the insurance investigation into Jared and Peter’s old home which the insurance agent (Jay Chandrasekhar) now believes may have been caused by Pindar’s magic trick.

“This is by far the dumbest idea you have ever had.”

Perception - Asylum

Daniel Pierce (Eric McCormack) gets himself committed to an psychiatric hospital in order to help an old friend (David Paymer) whose client (Gia Mantegna) is charged with killing a nurse and then swallowing the murder weapon. The troubled young woman admits the second, but not the first, and Pierce recklessly goes inside the sanitarium to investigate the woman’s doctor (Peter Jacobson) and members of her group therapy (Marina Benedict, Rob LaBelle, Lou George, Bambadjan Bamba, Johanna Braddy) while being haunted by hallucinations of Sigmund Freud (Judd Hirsch).

G.I. JOE: The Cobra Files #5

/ / Comics

G.I. JOE: The Cobra Files #5After wrapping up the business with the Night Creepers in the last issue, the beginning of G.I. JOE: The Cobra Files‘ second arc shifts the focus from Chameleon to the the only member of the team with less battlefield experience, the team’s computer and intelligence expert Clockspring whose continued loyalty may be in question thanks to his unreturned romantic feelings for Chameleon which the untrustworthy Tomax has begun to use to twist the man to his will.

The issue takes the opportunity to spell out Clockspring’s rather sad life story which contains only a few bright spots such as when the computer geek finally found a home with the JOEs (although he’s far less comfortable with his current role in the field with far less resources than he became accustomed to working with).

I don’t expect big changes in beginning next month, but this issue certainly foreshadows dangerous territory for Clockspring and his teammates who may no longer be able to trust the man in charge of the covert team’s valuable intel.

“Everybody deserves a good night sleep.”

King & Maxwell - Pandora's Box

The Clyde Ritter investigation comes full circle in King & Maxwell‘s season finale as King (Jon Tenney) receives the FBI evidence box in the mail which leads him to watch one friend (Martin Donovan) die in a car bomb and begin to suspect another (Catherine Bell) was involved in the assassination which may repeat itself now she’s the head of security for Ritter’s son (Jeff Hephner) who plans to announce his candidacy in the same hall where his father was gunned down.

Atomic Robo Presents Real Science Adventures #9

/ / Comics

Atomic Robo Presents Real Science Adventures #9Although I prefer my Atomic Robo stories to have Atomic Robo in them, the latest issue of Atomic Robo Presents Real Science Adventures provides a threesome of historic figures to carry the load. Charles Fort, Winfield-Scott Lovecraft, and Ehrie “Harry Houdini” Weiss work together to uncover the truth behind the evil machinations of the mysterious Black Coat army led by a shadowy of group of heads of industry who are also behind the theft of Nikola Tesla‘s Magnifying Transmitter.

The threesome of historical figures are entertaining, and there’s a good amount of action here, but I actually had more fun with the combination of Master Wong Kei-Ying and Annie Oakley from Atomic Robot Presents Real Science Adventures #8 who sadly don’t return.

Although their investigation leads to little in the way of concrete answers, it does narrow the focus of the storyline going forward as well as bring the threesome to the attention of another interested party: Nikola Tesla.
