Reacher - New York's Finest

After the only lead they had goes up in flames, literally, Reacher (Alan Ritchson) and his old friends start again. With only two more episodes in the season “New York’s Finest” fills in several blanks to Reacher’s investigation answering questions about the 650 stolen missiles and laying the foundation for the final two episodes of the season. In terms of the flashbacks, the episode is also notable for Reacher and his team being told to stand down on their heroin investigation which could make local military brass look bad foreshadowing the final piece of that storyline to unfold as well.

Bob's Burgers - Mission Impossi-Bob

While Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) gets his own adventure trying to help a trapped Teddy (Larry Murphy) in a recluse’s bunker, his absence provide the kids time to convince Linda (John Roberts) to cook a giant burger for a group of customers. Although I have serious doubts about whether or not they could have cooked the Beef-Hemoth all the way through, it’s exactly the kind of thing Gene (Eugene Mirman), Tina (Dan Mintz), and Louise (Kristen Schaal) would champion. And as wacky as Bob’s adventure is, he proves himself capable several times during his odd night out, finding Teddy on only the barest amount of information and even figuring out a way to protect Teddy calling him for help. All in all, a fun wacky time with the Belchers.

Delicious in Dungeon - Hot Pot/Tart

Featuring strong Dungeons & Dragons vibes, Delicious in Dungeon is an odd idea of giving us the adventures of a party that focuses at least as much on their travels through a dungeon as the various meals they make out of the creatures they kill. There are plenty of in-jokes for fans of D&D sprinkled throughout the first episode which introduces us to the remnants of a party that returns to a dungeon to rescue one of their members who is slowly being digested in the belly of a Red Dragon. Although unusual, it works.

Vengeance of the Moon Knight #1

Vengeance of Moon Knight #1

Marc Spector is dead. Isn’t he? We’ll get back to that one. Kicking off a new series we get a throwback to the previous series with a character, this time Reese rather than Marc Spector, talking things through with Dr. Andrea Sterman which offers the framing to see events of the past few weeks play out. Most of the issue is with the characters struggling to move on after Marc’s death, the Midnight Mission holding shiva for their fallen friend (with a few Marvel heroes stepping by to pay their respects) and then getting back to work.

Reacher - Burial

As you might expect with at title like “Burial,” the fifth episode of Reacher‘s Second Season gives us the reunited 110th Special Investigators Unit attending Franz’s (Luke Bilyk) funeral which turns into a shoot-out. A few more pieces of the puzzles fall into place as well. In Denver, Neagley (Maria Sten) and Dixon (Serinda Swann) go to the New Age plant in search of the weapons they know their friend’s killer is after. Only to discover the tech has already left, at witness all 650 missiles aboard the track being hijacked.
