Debris - Solar Winds television review

The third episode of Debris continues the ongoing storylines of the shadowy private group looking to add to their own collection of debris (with the help of some members of the government) and the questions concerning Finola Jones’ (Riann Steele) not-so-dead father (Tyrone Benskin). The odd occurrence of the week takes place in a field where window mysterious appears and disappears, with other people trapped on the other side, without any apparent nearby debris (which is actually found rather easily once they begin investigating a larger area). The episode plays on the theory of certain places on Earth where the fabric of dimensions can allow someone to walk from one world through the next.

Superman & Lois - Haywire

“Haywire” is most notable for Superman & Lois & Jonathan & Jordan adopting one of the pillars of Smallville. It turns out in this reality Smallville, Kansas, was also pelted with loads of Kryptonite which explains Morgan Edge‘s (Adam Rayner) interest in mining the town and offers the first “freak” as one of the Kent brothers’ classmates exhibits odd powers after being be exposed to the rocks. All the major themes from the first three episodes are revisited here. Clark‘s (Tyler Hoechlin) split focus causes problems with everyone, in bad writing that was easy to see coming General Sam Lane (Dylan Walsh) begins to view Superman as a threat for no reason at all, Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch) is stymied in her attempts to keep Edge out of Smallville, Jonathan (Jordan Elsass) continues to sulk at his brother’s sudden popularity, and Jordan (Alex Garfin) begins to grow into his role as a member of the team.

The Flash - Mother television review

If Huey Lewis’ “The Power of Love” had been blaring throughout “Mother,” the episode would be no more schmaltzy. In what was originally planned to be last season’s finale, Barry (Grant Gustin) gets a new, new artificial Speed Force based on the power of love. No, really. And just in time too, as Eva McCulloch (Efrat Dor) has begun replacing the citizens of Central City with her mirror duplicates en masse. Thankfully, she’s no match for… the power of love. The episode also offers yet another farewell to Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh), as the rebirthed original Wells returns to help Team Flash one last time. The episode leaves the door open for a possible return of the character while also leaving a couple of Easter Eggs in the character’s look back at something occurring just prior to Barry’s speed being restored and some odd lightning that shoots out of S.T.A.R. Labs (possibly laying the ground for new speedsters?).

James Bond: Agent of SPECTRE #1

James Bond: Agent of SPECTRE #1 comic reviewThere’s a problematic question at the heart of the first issue of James Bond: Agent of SPECTRE which asks how James Bond might end up working for the Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge, and Extortion. Of course, the answer is never. However, writer Christos Gage does provide a scenario where Bond might appear to work with the evil organization to further his own ends.

James Bond: Agent of SPECTRE #1 is notable for the conversation between Bond and Ernst Stavro Blofeld in which the villain uses bribery and threats against Felix Leiter as attempts to convince Bond to take a job to assassinate a rising star within SPECTRE who wants to overthrow Blofeld.

Among the group are an old man and young girl who offer Val a proposition she’s initially not interested in, but the deteriorating condition of her brother and the promise of true sanctuary is enough to hit the road one more time.
