Rick and Morty - Never Ricking Morty television review

“Never Ricking Morty” offers an anthology-style story strung together by the idea of Rick (Justin Roiland) and Morty (Roiland) being trapped on a train full of passengers all of whom have various Rick and Morty stories to tell. Pushing the limits of meta, Rick and Morty discover the train is controlled by Story Lord (Paul Giamatti) who hopes to use the imaginations of the pair to break through the fifth wall (but it turns out the entire episode takes place within Morty’s new trainset). As with previous anthology-style episodes, some of the bits (quick look at the futuristic war between cats and dogs, Biblesaurus and his veggie pals) work better than others (Rick’s musical numbers, a Christmas saving vignette without a punchline, or the constant abs jokes).

Birds of Prey: Sirens of Justice #1

/ / Comics

Birds of Prey: Sirens of Justice #1 comic reviewBirds of Prey: Sirens of Justice #1 offers a team-up between Harley Quinn, Black Canary, and Huntress when Harley brings information about a hospital lost in a sync hole and its connection to the local mob. The pairing of Harley with the Birds of Prey is obviously inspired by the recent film, but for the storyline of this comic DC turns to Gail Simone whose history with the characters is well-established (even if most of the Birds she usually writes don’t make an appearance here).

The issue offers some mystery and misdirection as Black Canary wants to trust Harley but rightfully deduces she’s not telling the whole truth about her interest in the case. Huntress is less inclined to give Ms. Quinn the benefit of the doubt. And when Poison Ivy shows up all hell breaks loose.

Avengers #33

Avengers #33 comic reviewOn the night of a Supermoon, a new storyline begins with Moon Knight targeting the mystical Avengers one-by-one. Avengers #33 opens in the Himalayas where Moon Knight takes down Iron Fist. Making stops to take down Doctor Strange, crush Thor, and steal Ghost Rider‘s car, the former Avenger continues to increase his power.

The issue features Moon Knight is several different looks including the classic all-white costume as the comic comes to an end with the character victorious. The comic doesn’t allow us into the mind of the character for most of the comic, although towards the end it does appear that his multiple personalities are all doing just dandy. And they all appear onboard with the current mission.

Harley Quinn - Being Harley Quinn television review

In a season that is all about discovering just who Harley Quinn (Kaley Cuoco) is after leaving the Joker, “Being Harley Quinn” gets the most literal as it takes the crew in Harley’s mind to find the cause of her inability to make decisions about who she is and what she wants. Unwilling to let the pervy Doctor Psycho (Tony Hale) enter their friend’s mind on his own, the entire crew heads inside Harley’s brain where they find plenty of Jokers, a young Frankie Muniz (Frankie Muniz), killer child Harleys, and a whole bunch of answers Harley wasn’t expecting.

Remington Steele - To Stop a Steele television review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to the 80s detective show Remington Steele. “To Stop a Steele” offers an amusing comedy of errors as Remington Steele (Pierce Brosnan) and Laura (Stephanie Zimbalist) are hired separately to investigate the same jewel store robbery. Laura’s client is the jewel store owner (Donald Bishop) who doesn’t want his insurance company to learn about the uninsured $2 million gem which was in their safe. Steele’s client is Morrie Singer (Cliff Norton), a thief brought out of retirement for one big score only to find the jewel vault empty when his crew successfully breaks in. With both clients afraid of publicity, both agree to keep the other in the dark while being completely unaware they ware working the same case for most of the episode. At one point, to keep those after Morrie at bay, Steele takes credit for the robbery using an alias famous to anyone who knows Alfred Hitchcock’s To Catch a Thief.
