NCIS: Hawai’i – Nightwatch

In terms of larger storylines, “Nightwatch” continues the post-break-up of Lucy (Yasmine Al-Bustami) and Whistler (Tori Anderson) as Whistler being put in danger forces some of Lucy’s buried feelings to the surface, but she isn’t able to forgive her former lover. I like these two together but the show is falling into a rut. Either put them back together, which would be my choice, or move on (which finally, maybe, but probably not really, seems to be the choice at the end of the episode).

Amazing Spider-Man #1

/ / Comics

A new volume of Amazing Spider-Man begins here falling back on classic Spider-Man tropes. Peter Parker’s life is a mess. His friends feel ignored, Aunt May is disappointed, the super-hero community wants nothing to do with him, he’s without a single job prospect, and MJ is shacking up with some guy and his kids. If it all feels a bit familiar, it’s because it is.

The Blacklist – Laszlo Jankowics

  • Title: The Blacklist – Laszlo Jankowics
  • wiki: link

In an episode where the task force looks to take down an insane dealer in psychedelic drugs, The Blacklist continues to tease the possible return of Mr. Kaplan. While the cliffhanger seems to suggest Kaplan is still alive, it seems also quite possible someone is gaslighting Reddington (James Spader) and taking on the identity of his old associate for their own reasons (possibly with inside help?). Whether or not it is Kaplan, or some new threat, it’s obvious the threat of this new player is quite real and whoever it might be they seem to have far too much knowledge of Raymond’s organization.

The Endgame – Beauty and the Beast

  • Title: The Endgame – Beauty and the Beast
  • IMDb: link

The plans of Elena Federova (Morena Baccarin) have serious repercussions in “Beauty and the Beast” as the CIA search for the missing gold (whose real location is teased in a connection to the prison), Val (Ryan Michelle Bathe) searches for evidence implicating Federova’s latest target, and the Secret Service take control of Fort Totten allowing President Andrew Wright (Sasha Roiz) to torture Federova for information. The penultimate episode of the show’s first (perhaps only?) season doesn’t provide much movement on Sergey (Costa Ronin) and Owen Turner’s (Kamal Angelo Bolden) escape plans leaving quite a few loose ends to dealt with in the season finale.

Justice League #75

/ / Comics

Leading into the next Crisis event, this volume of Justice League comes to a close with the core members of the Justice League all killed by Pariah (remember him?) who is under the control of the Great Darkness which wants to destroy everything and give birth to a new Multiverse.

The issue offers exactly what the cover promises in the death of major DC heroes (although I’m not sure how this will impact those with their own monthly titles). We also get cameos from heroes from other worlds, including Captain Carrot, as well an army of villains under the control of the Great Darkness.
