  • wiki: link

The first-half of the First Season’s season finale finds Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) drafted into helping the returning Captain Milius (Enver Gjokaj) in a prison transfer that is jeopardized by the death of a Naval security officer in Hawaii. Even with the help of the others who stay behind to investigate, and capture the two mercenaries hired for the kill, NCIS remains largely in the dark as to who is going to such lengths to see a Russian spy returned in exchange for an American who supposedly knows very little worthy of keeping him other than as a bargaining chip.

Kung Fu – The Enclave

  • Title: Kung Fu – The Enclave
  • IMDb: link

Knowing that Russell Tan (Kee Chan) is after a large mallet as the next piece of his plan, Nicky (Olivia Liang) and her friends hatch a plan to (rather easily) sneak into the secret organization’s private party and swap out the real hammer for a facsimile that her parents help build. Things go fairly well until the scene Tan causes stealing the fake hammer revealing Nicky and leading to a downward spiral in which Tan leaves with his prize, Nicky’s brother gets shot, and Mia (Vanessa Yao) turns to Zhilan (Yvonne Chapman) for a more permanent solution to her Tan problems.

Superman & Lois – Truth and Consequences

  • Title: Superman & Lois – Truth and Consequences
  • wiki: link

Picking up from the cliffhanger of the previous episode, “Truth and Consequences” features the Kents fighting off the evil Jonathan (Jordan Elsass) from the parallel Earth hoping to merge with his doppelganger. The merge is prevented thanks to Jonathan’s brother and father, making sure that the moody and powerless version of Jonathan doesn’t get any more interesting any time soon. In terms of larger plots, the episode is most notable for Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) rescuing Lana (Emmanuelle Chriqui) and later deciding to share his secret with her, giving her some context to the hidden side of Clark Kent she’s never been able to understand. Is this a one-off, or are we going to see Clark make any further admissions (despite what he saw happen on the Bizarro world)?

Batman: Killing Time #3

/ / Comics

While there’s much to like in Batman: Killing Time #3, I’m not overly fond of the way the story continually jumps around the timeline making it harder to get an overall feel of the story (especially for someone who hasn’t read the first two issues of the six-issue mini-series). What it does deliver, in somewhat random order, is an experienced fighter with the unfortunate name of the Help who bests a young Batman in combat after being sent to retrieve something stolen from the hospitalized Penguin.

The Blacklist – The Bear Mask

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: The Blacklist – The Bear Mask
  • wiki: link

“The Bear Mask” gives us an acid trip fueled time loop as Aram‘s (Amir Arison) choice to move forward with some experimental hallucinogenic therapy traps him in a loop where the team is continuously under attack by unknown assailants (who turn out to be led by his darker unconscious). At least he seems to have gotten some inner peace from the stressful situation. Reddington‘s (James Spader) story take place outside the loop and confirms Mr. Kaplan wasn’t in the explosion leaving questions looming as to the identity of the adversary is working against him (could it eventually turn out to be Kaplan, or is that just a smokescreen to hide the truth of someone nearly as close who knows as much about Reddington’s operation as his former friend?).
