The Irrational - Bombshell

My biggest complaint with “Bombshell” is how obvious the resolution of the episode is in not furthering the series-long story in any meaningful way. After escaping prison, Wes Banning (Ben Cotton) builds a bomb vest and shows up at the university to hold Alec (Jesse L. Martin), Phoebe (Molly Kunz), and Owen (Arash DeMaxi) hostage. During the episode, Alec earns the man’s trust and discovers the motivations behind the bomb that sent Banning to prison. Agreeing to help save Banning’s daughter (Siana Bajwa), Alec saves himself and his assistants, but because Banning dies at the end of the episode he never lives up to his end of the bargain and dies without revealing any new information about the man responsible thus keeping the status quo of the series intact.

Metropolis has been Bizarro-fied. Everyone within the city has become a version of Bizarro, including Superman. Although he’s able to shake it off and return to normal, Superman is left with a city gone mad.

Delicious in Dungeon - Snacks/Sorbet

“Snacks/Sorbet” offers a different setup starting with an entirely different group of adventurers who get taking out by the very treasure they sought. Our party comes across their corpses and, after battling the living treasure, decides to make a meal out of the it which, while that sound painful to eat, apparently, like all of Senshi‘s (SungWon Cho) dishes, tastes delicious. Later, Senshi and Laios (Damien C. Haas) use home-made holy water, made in part from the treasure, to drive off ghosts attacking the party. The ghosts passing through the concoction has the odd effect to turn it into sorbet offering a pleasant dessert.
