The Blacklist – Dr. Michael Abani

While foreshadowing the next big trouble for the task force, the final season of The Blacklist offers up a Dembe (Hisham Tawfiq) episode as the love of his life reaches out for help after her fiancé gets into trouble overseas. In yet another episode of the season without a new Blacklister, something even the task force themselves begin to discuss internally, “Dr. Michael Abani” does provide several flashbacks to Dembe’s time with Aissa (played by both Zainab Jah and Sibongile Mlambo) and reminds us what Dembe gave up to serve Reddington (James Spader) all those years ago.

The Blacklist – The Man in the Hat

  • Title: The Blacklist – The Man in the Hat
  • wiki: link

“The Man in the Hat” is an unusual episode in that it offers very little of Reddington (James Spader) with the task force searching for their missing consultant they believe might be a hostage in a gas station in Pennsylvania. With Reddington MIA, the focus is on Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff) and Dembe (Hisham Tawfiq) helping local authorities to handle the situation and life back at the post office for the rest of the team where Harold (Harry Lennix) is given an arbitrary deadline by Senator Panabaker (Deirdre Lovejoy) not helped by the missing Red and Siya (Anya Banerjee) discovers a secret about her mother she wasn’t prepared to learn.

Edge of the Spider-Verse #1

Offering tales of various Spider-Man-ish characters from across the multiverse, a new volume of Edge of the Spider-Verse begins here with… dinosaurs? “Enter Kraventooth the Hunter” offers us a tale of Spider-Rex battling Kraventooth the Hunter who is using the hero’s family for bait and sees the creation of Venomsaurus Rex who is knocked into a tar pit. It’s as crazy and silly as it sounds. Definitely a niche comic for those wanting all the Spidey-related content they can get their hands on, but far from a must-read.

Young Jedi Adventures – The Young Jedi / Yoda’s Mission

  • Title: Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures – The Young Jedi / Yoda’s Mission
  • IMDb: link

As much Disney as Star Wars, with a focus on programming for a younger audience, the opening episode of Young Jedi Adventures introduces us to the three most rambunctious students of the Jedi Temple 200 years before The Phantom Menace through a pair of loosely connected adventures. Almost too cute, the show certainly fits into the preschool demographic with lessons for the kids to learn at every turn and no real danger to the various action sequences involving the trio’s training or battling the young pirate Taborr Val Dorn (Trey Murphy).
