Prodigal Son - Face Value television review

Since it’s premiere, Prodigal Son has balanced how far over the edge to take it’s characters. In “Face Values” the show goes a bit too far over the line as Malcom (Tom Payne) is distracted from his latest case involving a doctor Botoxed to death by what turns out to be his sister Ainsley (Halston Sage) screwing with him after discovering what he has kept from her. While this means Ainsley isn’t a serial killer, it does mean she’s perhaps even less mentally stable than the show has explored so far as she is incapable of realizing just how far she has taken things to try and teach her brother (who risked his job and prison to protect her).

The Flash - All's Wells That Ends Wells television review

The first episode of The Flash‘s Seventh Season picks up the unfinished threads of last year’s truncated season with an hour filled with enough plot for three episodes and wild tonal shifts. Most notably, the episode features the breakthrough necessary to power the artificial Speed Force and restore Barry‘s (Grant Gustin) disappearing speed. However, there’s a catch as Nash (Tom Cavanagh) connection to the Multiverse turns out to be the only possible fuel, meaning The Flash has found yet another way for Tom Cavanagh to die. It’s sad to see Cavanagh exit again, although there still is one version of the character out there looking to tangle with the Flash (but Reverse-Flash doesn’t factor into this episode at all). Before exiting stage left, again, the episode includes a goofy sequence with the various versions of Wells stored temporarily within Barry’s body which is best forgotten as soon as possible.

Batman: Black and White #3

/ / Comics

Batman: Black and White #3 comic reviewBatman: Black and White #3 offers up five more Batman stories in black and white. The third issue is notable for the absence of Bat-villains (except as a cameo in a single panel of one tale), instead focusing on alternate realms, alternate Batmen, street punks, and the legacy of Batman.

Jace Fox as Batman battles the racist antigovernment Igloo Boys gang with the help of Tiff Fox in “The Cavalry.” “I Am the Bat” offers a regular evening for Batman with some minor skirmishes, with an unexpected twist at the end.

Both “A Kingdom of Thorns” and “Legacy” provide alternate timelines with Bruce Wayne as a medieval knight in the first and in the other fighting a world of monsters using a giant BattleMech in a dystopian future.

Street Hawk - Vegas Run television review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back in time to when a motorcycle cop turned vigilante helped keep the streets of Los Angeles safe on an experimental bike known as Street Hawk. Jesse (Rex Smith) and Norman (Joe Regalbuto) try to protect a Las Vegas showgirl (Sybil Danning) from her ex-boyfriend (Christopher Thomas) and his goons who will stop at nothing, including kidnapping her sister (Christie Mossman), to prevent her from testifying against him. The main story is notable for Danning’s character making Norman uncomfortable and Jesse thoroughly confusing Lt. Cmdr. Altobelli (Richard Venture) on how a federal witness wound up staying at his apartment. The action scenes showcase Street Hawk going off-road (somehow without running into any of those pesky trees at super-speed) and fighting of a helicopter to get the witness to the courthouse in time.

Scooby-Doo! - Scooby's Night with a Frozen Fright television review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to Scooby Doo, Where Are You! for another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. After catching a frozen caveman on the beach, Mystery, Inc. return it to Professors Wayne (John Stephenson) and Ingstrom (Don Messick) at Oceanland who apparently collect cavemen as well as fish and lost the artifact in a storm. Returning to the facility to retrieve Shaggy‘s (Casey Kasem) fishing pole, the gang discover the block of ice melted and the caveman walking the halls of Oceanland. When one of the professors vanishes and the other begins acting oddly with an unusual device, the gang have a pair of suspects and, although they don’t know it yet, a motive for the caveman’s appearance. Although the caveman turns out to be one of the show’s more forgettable monsters, the mystery works well enough to keep the episode rolling until the gang unmask the villain.
