Five-0 is called in to investigate the abduction of a young computer hacker (Matt Bush) from his family (Alan Ruck, Melinda McGraw, Gregory Kasyan) only minutes after being released from juvenile detention. The family’s GPS was tampered with, leading them into the perfect isolated location for an abduction, but by the time Kono (Grace Park) and Cho (Daniel Dae Kim) recover the van used in the kidnapping the young victim is already dead.

Transformers Prime – Season Two

  • Title: Transformers Prime – The Complete Second Season

transformers-prime-blu-ray-season-2The Second Season of Transformers Prime continues the animated battles of the Autobots and Decepticons on Earth as well as the robots in disguise home planet of Cybertron. The series adopts the look and style of Michael Bay’s (truly awful) Transformers franchise and recent video game releases that as a fan of the original toys, comics, and cartoon series, I will freely admit, doesn’t always please me.

This means we’re stuck with several problematic elements from the movies including a Bumblebee that still can’t speak (and is a Camaro instead of a VW Bug), the moronic monster-like design of several of the Decepticons, a lack of understanding basic differences between robots and humans, a scarcity of only a handful of Autobots heroes, and a near endless supply of nameless (not to mention useless) Deception cannon fodder warriors that rank somewhere between Stormtroopers and Cobra soldiers in the grand scheme of things.

Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) is called into to consult on a case of home invasion and murder that he believes is linked to one of Captain Gregson’s (Aidan Quinn) old cases. While Holmes wants to talk with the man (Keith Szarabajka) Gregson put in jail 13 years ago, Gregson is reluctant and would rather pursue other avenues of the investigation including the latest victims’ contractor (Brian Tarantina) who was keeping  a woman (Evgeniya Radilova) chained in his basement and recently threatened the couple after they complained about his work.

On hearing the news that Mr. Shue (Matthew Morrison) plans on leaving the Glee Club until after Sectionals once the musical is complete the club panics and Sue (Jane Lynch) goes bananas when Schuester announces Finn (Cory Monteith) will be leading the club in his absence. Declaring war once again on the arts, Sue begins to undermine both the Glee Club and the musical beginning with convincing Wade’s parents (Mark Christopher Lawrence, Davenia McFadden) that it may not be safe for their son to play the role of Rizzo in Grease.

Super Dinosaur #15

/ / Comics

super-dinosaur-15Super Dinosaur #15 concludes the Inner Earth storyline as Derek is able to escape the clutches of The Exile, reconnect with Super Dinosaur and his friends, and make his way home. The action is certainly fast and furious, but Derek’s reunion with his friends does feel a little rushed compared to the amount of time the arc has spent with the other aspects of this story.

Although Derek, Super Dinosaur, and the other children manage to make it back home from Inner Earth safely, writer Robert Kirkman lays down quite a bit of foreshadowing and the events from this arc are likely to have long term consequences for everyone involved.

The Exile is imprisoned but his theory on life on the surface has been proven and he has plenty of time to plot his revenge. We also get SD finally making a connection in Inner Earth when the group is saved thanks to help from another Tyrannosaurus rex, only to have to abandon his new friend to help Derek get safely home. It may be a bit rushed, but Super Dinosaur #15 is a good conclusion to the arc. Next month: Super Dinosaur in space! Worth a look.
