Transformers: King Grimlock #2

Transformers: King Grimlock #2 comic reviewGrimlock‘s time on the savage world of Menonia continues as Arko continues after the Dinobot hoping to convince him of her value and the importance of her people’s cause. By the end of the issue, Grimlock still has no interest in fighting of the Golden One. However, after getting a look at the necromonic Wood-Bot slaves of the Red Wizard, Grimlock does decide there is someone worth his time to kill.

Working a bit as both sidekick and guide, Arko gives someone for Grimlock to talk to while explaining a bit about the strange new world the Dinobot has found himself in. While, as Grimlock mentions, her help really isn’t necessary to deal with what attacks him, it does help prove the young woman’s bravery to Grimlock.

Dr. Death – Diplos

  • Title: Dr. Death – Diplos

“He’s either the most incompetent surgeon I’ve ever crossed paths with or he’s a sociopath.”

Dr. Death - Diplos television review

The first episode of Dr. Death, the Peacock mini-series based on true events, introduces us to neurosurgeon Christopher Duntsch (Joshua Jackson). As the episode opens, the supremely confident doctor’s infamous behavior comes to light leaving patients far worse off than when they were placed on his operating table. As to not give away the mindset of the character too early, Jackson is in stoic asshole mode throughout the scenes leaving it up the audience to decide whether the doctor is knowingly mutilating his patients or simply unaware of the debris he leaves in his wake while blaming anyone else (a nurse, an anesthesiologist, an x-ray tech) for his patients’ issues.

From the minds of Steve Martin and John Hoffman comes a new series of three strangers (Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez) living in the same building in New York, each with their own secrets, whose love for a true crime podcast bring them together to solve a death in the building the police have already dismissed as a suicide. “True Crime” introduces us to the three characters, and them to each other. Charles-Haden Savage (Martin) is an aging actor notable for one television role several years ago, Oliver Putnam (Short) is a Broadway director whose best days are long past, and Mabel Mora (Gomez) is a young woman renovating an apartment in the building.

Invincible - Here Goes Nothing television review

With his father in the hospital, apparently another victim of whoever killed the Guardians, the second episode of Invincible focuses on expanding the world and giving Mark (Steven Yeun) his first real action as a hero working alongside Teen Team to fight off an alien invasion. Don’t worry, he’ll get better at the whole super-hero thing. Several of the teen heroes will get larger roles as the series continues, including Atom Eve (Gillian Jacobs) who Mark discovers goes to his high school and becomes the first person he can talk to about the unusual path his life has suddenly taken. The episode is also notable for the first appearance of Allen the Alien (Seth Rogen) testing the planet to see if its heroes are up to snuff. As with the Flaxans, we’ll see Allen again before the end of the season.
