Star Wars: The Bad Batch – The Crossing / Retrieval

The two-part story in “The Crossing” and “Retrieval” focuses on the Bad Batch’s first missing without Echo in which the squad looks for Impsium in a mine on a remote planet, getting their ship stolen, becoming temporarily trapped in a mine, and later having to infiltrate and liberate their ship from a Dickensian group working a larger mine for a local tyrant. In terms of larger arcs, the only one notable is Omega‘s (Michelle Ang) abandonment issues, first in Echo’s leaving (and the squad’s minimal reaction) and then to the ship being stolen as well. While a perfectly fine mini-adventure for the group, I don’t know that this really needed to be two episodes.

Cocaine Bear

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: Cocaine Bear
  • IMDb: link

Very Loosely based on a true story of a bear who ingested cocaine dropped in the Tennessee wilderness, Cocaine Bear is your typical over-the-top thriller as the crazed bear goes wild in the park hunting for more cocaine where potential victims wander around unaware of the danger. When the film focuses on the bear and its rampage, there’s plenty of bloody fun to be had. When it gets lost in the various stories of characters, it does stall at times.

Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Three #2

/ / Comics

Outside of some of the designs of some supporting characters, Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Three #2 doesn’t feel much like a Batman: The Animated Series inspired story. The comic involves the kidnapping of the recently returned to Gotham City trust fund brat Cassie Kendall who apparently had more than a few lovers in her time including Bruce Wayne, Harley Quinn, and Harvey Dent.

Kung Fu – Alias

  • Title: Kung Fu – Alias – Alias
  • wiki: link

With Nicky (Olivia Liang) sidelined, first in jail and later under house arrest, it falls on Althea (Shannon Dang) to go undercover and get some proof on Delta Security’s illegal practices. Capable, but more than a little over-head, Althea does get into a bit of trouble. We do get the addition of Zhilan (Yvonne Chapman) halfway through sent in as backup, although I’m still not sure why she wasn’t called for the initial job instead of Nicky’s sister (other than to given Althea something to do in the episode).
