Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Uprising

“Uprising” continues the season’s trend to split the team, and focus, of the episode in several directions. This means the storyline with the biggest stakes (the life and death of a core character) is shuffled off to a subplot. Let’s be serious, at no point since her ghostly infection did Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., even for a moment, make me believe they were willing to let May (Ming-Na Wen) die. And, because of the strong foreshadowing, the episode tips its hand far too much in just how Holden Radcliffe (John Hannah) will save her as the blackouts effecting the rest of the country finally find their way to his lab.

Timeless - The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln

The second episode of the new series sends our three intrepid time travelers back to 1865 on the day Abraham Lincoln (Michael Krebs) was assassinated. While we know Flynn (Goran Visnjic) has plans to change history, once again the episode obscures what his true motives are as history plays out (for the most part) in much the same way. Meanwhile, Lucy (Abigail Spencer), Wyatt (Matt Lanter), and Rufus (Malcolm Barrett) have their own internal debate about possibly doing more than just stopping Rufus and saving Lincoln from assassination. Assuming Flynn is after the other targets of the assassination plot, Lucy and her team split-up to cover the targets. Successful in that none of the other men were killed there’s still the lingering question over how much Flynn’s changes effected their own timeline.

He-Man/ThunderCats #1

/ / Comics

He-Man/ThunderCats #1In a crossover that seems three decades late, DC Comics’ new six-issue series introduces the characters from two 1980s cartoons to each other as the worlds of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and ThunderCats literally come crashing down on one another. The first issue of the series begins with Mumm-Ra whose inability to destroy the ThuderCats has angered the ancient evil which provide his power. Deciding their agent needs a boost, the powers open a portal dropping Third Earth on top Eternia and send Mumm-Ra after the Sword of Power.

He-Man/ThunderCats #1 also introduces us to the bumbling Prince Adam whose father is still unaware of his son’s secret. Disguised as the Sorceress, Mumm-Ra steals the Sword of Power away from Adam, impaling the prince. However, still connected to the sword, Adam can call on the power of Grayskull and reappear as He-Man.
