Star Wars: The Bad Batch - Flash Strike / The Cavalry Has Arrived

As expected, Star Wars: The Bad Batch ends in predictable fashion. We get the infiltration of an Imperial base (again) and the escape from an Imperial base (again). And, as expected, the squad manage to extract Omega (Michelle Ang) without a single casualty on their side. The other children are also rescued with the help of Emerie Karr (Keisha Castle-Hughes) who it seems has finally seen enough of the Empire’s testing on children. The final episode is also notable for an unnecessary epilogue with an older Omega set out to join the Rebellion that feels tacked on when the shot of the Bad Batch together on Pabu under the weeping maya tree seems a far more natural ending.

NCIS: Hawai'i - Spill the Tea

After teasing us with their existence for much of the season, “Spill the Tea” introduces us to NCIS: Elite. Let’s just say I’m not impressed. Kai (Alex Tarrant), Jesse (Noah Mills), and Lucy (Yasmine Al-Bustami), who returns to steal the best moments of the episode, are read into the the squad’s mission when their star witness is poisoned in their secret facility (basically failing their single objective of keeping him alive). We get some, mostly good-natured, competition between the two squads as NCIS: Hawai’i identifies the method in which Alexi Volkoff (David Meunier) was poisoned and then track down the team who committed the crime.

NCIS: Hawai'i - Into Thin Air

In a storyline that pretty heavily suggest there will be a major twist, a Marine’s wife (Nikiva Dionne) is kidnapped and held for a ransom that can’t possibly be paid (except for that $3 million in illegal money he and his best friend helped smuggle from Iraq). The plot attempts to first point to the husband (Brandon Fobbs) as the perpetrator, but there’s really nothing to back that up given his genuine concern for his missing wife. The death of his compatriot and the missing money only makes things more murky for the investigation until Carla (Seana Kofoed) finds some sloppy evidence that points to an obvious suspect no one has been looking at.

Black Widow & Hawkeye #2

The second issue of Black Widow & Hawkeye doesn’t delve any deeper into the admission Clint Barton made at the end of the last issue in that he is responsible for the assassination the whole world is blaming him for. Before further explanation can be given, Clint is poisoned by an assassin who Black Widow scares off but to save her friend she’ll need the help of her symbiote (who like Natasha knows her friend is lying but doesn’t understand her need to save someone refusing her help).
