“You’re gonna kill a whole lot of people, aren’t ya’?”
“Already started.”

After returning from New York, he’ll also make a trip New Orleans meeting with Neagly (Maria Sten), and putting a quick end to the subplot involving an undernourished dog, Reacher (Alan Ritchson) turns his attention back to the Kliners, the small number of cattle, and the exorbitant amount of feed on their property. Roscoe’s (Willa Fitzgerald) discovery of the files that Gary, who she now knows was murdered, had hidden furthers the investigation as well as our heroes finally start to understand what is going on in Margrave.

  • wiki: link

Legacies returns from its mid-season hiatus still focused on our dead trio attempting to get out of Limbo and Hope‘s (Danielle Rose Russell) missing humanity as she shows up in Professor Vardemus‘ (Alexis Denisof) classroom, in a fun reveal, to ask his opinion on the mystic crypt she’s been keeping Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) inside. Eventually Lizzie escapes, but the revelation that Hope is her sire creates a new relationship between the pair as Lizzie can no longer harm Hope and must follow her commands (which the show immediately begins having fun with). Both this storyline, and what unfolds back at the Salvatore School, open a new storyline for the series on the subjects of gods.

Cyrano

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: Cyrano
  • IMDb: link

While it may not be my favorite adaptation of Edmond Rostand‘s 19th Century play, Cyrano proves to be a perfect vehicle for Peter Dinklage who shines as the title character. Our brave and witty protagonist yearns for the beautiful Roxanne (Haley Bennett) only to see her attentions fall on the gaze of a strapping young soldier (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) instead, who Cyrano agrees to help woo the woman they both love while hiding the depth of his true feelings from them both.

All the basic trappings from the story are here including Ben Mendelsohn as yet another, more villainous, rival for Roxanne’s affections and the humorous balcony sequence in yet another stylish period piece from director Joe Wright. Added to the mix are a number of musical numbers which vacillate between additions or distractions from the main plot at various points in the tale.

“In a Tree” offers another dead end, this one quite literal. After dealing with the killers sent after him, Reacher (Alan Ritchson) heads to New York to get the information his brother was collecting from his co-worker with benefits Molly Beth (Lara Jean Chorostecki). Sadly, she’s killed, and Joe’s research disappears, as Molly dies in his arms on the subway platform. However, Reacher does find one clue left by his brother notes that leads to connection with the EPA.

Usagi Yojimbo #26

/ / Comics

The second-half of the two-part “Crossroads” finds Miyamoto Usagi catch up to the honor-less warriors who have been attacking and robbing those on the road, and decides to take all six of them on by himself. We’ve seen Usgai beat better odds before, but he underestimates the warriors and without the timely arrival of Yukichi things might have turned out differently for our hero.

We do get a longer segment between Yukichi and Jei which teases a confrontation that never arrives. However, Jei does manage to deal with the one samurai who manages to escape Usagi’s wrath. As for a confrontation between Usagi and Jei, we don’t get one here (which I’ll admit to being a bit disappointed), although the rabbit ronin is shocked to learn what held up his cousin from arriving earlier with his aid.
