NCIS: Hawai'i - Into Thin Air

In a storyline that pretty heavily suggest there will be a major twist, a Marine’s wife (Nikiva Dionne) is kidnapped and held for a ransom that can’t possibly be paid (except for that $3 million in illegal money he and his best friend helped smuggle from Iraq). The plot attempts to first point to the husband (Brandon Fobbs) as the perpetrator, but there’s really nothing to back that up given his genuine concern for his missing wife. The death of his compatriot and the missing money only makes things more murky for the investigation until Carla (Seana Kofoed) finds some sloppy evidence that points to an obvious suspect no one has been looking at.

Black Widow & Hawkeye #2

Black Widow & Hawkeye #2

The second issue of Black Widow & Hawkeye doesn’t delve any deeper into the admission Clint Barton made at the end of the last issue in that he is responsible for the assassination the whole world is blaming him for. Before further explanation can be given, Clint is poisoned by an assassin who Black Widow scares off but to save her friend she’ll need the help of her symbiote (who like Natasha knows her friend is lying but doesn’t understand her need to save someone refusing her help).

Star Wars: The Bad Batch - Into the Breach

The oldest Star Wars trope there is, Rebels sneaking into an Imperial base and making it out completely unscathed with exactly what they came for, comes into play in “Into the Breach” with the Batch using Vice-Admiral Edmon Rampart (Noshir Dalal) to get the coordinates of Tantiss from Imperial Station 003. One of the things I liked about Star Wars Rebels was it showed the Imperials weren’t completely incompetent 100% of the time and some, like Thrawn, actually were a threat. It’s hard to take the Galactic Empire seriously when they are bumbling around at every turn like the Three Stooges. Meanwhile, on Tantiss, Omega (Michelle Ang) meets the other kids and has already planned her next escape completely under the notice of constant supervision from the Imperial scientists.

Delicious in Dungeon - Good Medicine

The fallout of the battle with the Red Dragon brings back the character from “Court Cuisine/Boiled in Salt Water” and the woman Laios (Damien C. Haas) met inside the paintings who is revealed here to either be the Mage in control of the dungeon or working directly under the Mage. It appears she has some control over Falin (Lisa Reimold) who may or may not have been transformed into a dragon off-screen (I thought that was a little unclear). The episode doesn’t offer much in terms of action or new delicacies and feels a little bit of a filler episode (really the first of the series) mostly interested in laying the foundation for upcoming stories, but we do get a bit of Chilchuck (Casey Mongillo) hitting a breaking point with his friends who he eventually convinces to return to the surface to restock prior to taking on the Mage or starting a new search for Falin.

Inside Man

Part Silence of the Lambs and part rash decisions leading to unfortunate outcomes, Inside Man, the recent BBC series not to be confused with Spike Lee‘s 2006 heist flick nor the recent thriller starring Lucy Hale and Ashley Greene, is more notable for the performances than the plot. However, there’s still some interesting pieces worth watching (especially for those seeking it out for the reunion of Steven Moffat and David Tennant). One-half of the series involves a death row inmate (Stanley Tucci) solving crimes from behind bars who agrees to an interview with a reporter (Lydia West) if she can agree to one simple rule. The other involves a series of unfortunate events and misunderstandings involving a preacher (Tennant) from locking a young woman (Dolly Wells) in his basement.
