When the machine spits out the name of a doctor (Linda Cardellini) in close proximity to a sexual predator (Adam Rothenberg) the path Reese (Jim Caviezel) needs to take seems clear. In some cases, however, things aren’t quite what they seem. It turns out the doctor isn’t the one in danger; it’s the predator whose number is up.

The Ninth Season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer continues right where the first issue left off (although sadly without the writing of Buffy creator Joss Whedon). Buffy and her pals run into a demon in an alley that’s not after dinner, destruction, or mayhem. This one wants money, specifically Buffy’s college loan.
It seems in a world without magic all sorts of demons have been trapped in our reality and forced into finding odd jobs to make do. This demon has become a debt collector, and from his frightening visage I’m guessing a pretty good one.
Buffy also has to deal with being hauled in by the police who catch her in the act of staking a vampire. The cops are at a loss as to what to charge her with, but are sure she’s guilty of something, but the truth is what they are after is a mysterious young man who is miraculously bringing the undead back to death (so to speak).
Writer Andrew Chambliss does a fair job in picking up for Whedon but the dialogue and character reactions simply aren’t as crisp this time around. It’s still worth reading, but not quite as good as I was hoping. Worth a look.

After an exta-long layoff Psych finally returns for Season Six. “Shawn Rescues Darth Vader” wouldn’t have been my choice for the series premiere (it’s a little lacking in the zaniness department at times), but it does provide one great scene between psychic detective Shawn Spencer (James Roday), Head Detective Carlton Lassiter (Timothy Omundson), and a lie detector. Not only must Shawn answer truthfully about his psychic abiities but his consternation at the entire preceding forces him to blurt out the depths of his feelings for Juliet (Maggie Lawson) in front of the entire cast.
