Moon Knight #19

Moon Knight #19 offers a back-and-forth between parallel stories. We get Moon Knight and Hunter’s Moon deep in the subterranean tunnels below the city fighting the definition of a throwaway character in Commodore Donald Planet. The fight is reallly just an excuse for the pair to discuss the limitations and costs of Khonshu’s resurrections of his hand as Hunter’s Moon cautions Moon Knight to be less cavalier with his life.

NCIS: Hawai’i – Rising Sun

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: NCIS: Hawai’i – Rising Sun
  • wiki: link

“Rising Sun” offers the return of CGSI Neil Pike (Mark Gessner) whose undercover mission to recover smuggled guns ends in bloodshed when put between various sides of the local Yakuza when the upstart son of one of the most powerful families starts up an old rivalry for his own gain. Pike seems to get passed around to someone in every episode and this time he’s Ernie‘s (Jason Antoon) problem (although the pair do manage to forge a bond by the end). Other than Team Nernie, the episode is notable for Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) and Whistler (Tori Anderson) having each other’s backs and for stirring up the ongoing B-story involving Kai‘s (Alex Tarrant).

Star Wars: The Bad Batch – The Solitary Clone

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Star Wars: The Bad Batch – The Solitary Clone
  • IMDb: link

Feeling more like an episode of The Clone Wars than The Bad Batch, we’re given an episode to catch-up on Crosshair (Dee Bradley Baker) who is sent on a mission with Cody (Baker) and other Clones for the Empire needing to squash a Separtist uprising on Desix. Along with offering a check-in with the black sheep of the Bad Batch, the episode also offers an example of how the Empire put the Clones to work after taking power and how similar their missions were… with a few key differences. It’s a fine episode that just feels out of place as the season is still trying to setting the status quo for characters not even referred to here. The episode ends with Cody apparently deserting after being unable to execute an order, but the more effective outcome would have the Empire killing him offering another lesson to Crosshair of their brutality.
