Lucifer - Somebody's Been Reading Dante's Inferno TV review

As Chloe (Lauren German) and Lucifer (Tom Ellis) investigate murder on a reality-TV series and plan their first date, more of Chloe’s time with Father Kinley (Graham McTavish) is revealed. Having found the detective in Rome, the preacher has enlisted her help to force Lucifer back to Hell. While McKinley speaks only of reestablishing the status quo and preventing the Devil from having any bad influence on the world, the father also secretly hopes to prevent a dark prophecy from coming to pass (never questioning the possibility that his actions may be leading directly into it becoming an reality).

Buffy the Vampire Slayer #7

Buffy the Vampire Slayer #7 comic reviewThe focus of Buffy the Vampire Slayer #7 stays mostly on Willow following her sacrifice to prevent Xander from becoming a full vampire. The result of the ritual has left them both with half of her soul, left Xander as some kind of half-human/half-vampire hybrid, and bruised the carefree Willow’s usually sunny disposition.

Along with a case of the blues, Willow is also haunted by bad dreams and visions of a darker self who she is forced to confront. Has the choice to save Xander prevented Willow from becoming the powerful witch she was destined to be? Or has it made her more, or less, susceptible to becoming “Dark Willow” at some point in the future?

The Boys - Get Some TV review

The third episode of the series delivers a super-hero race between A-Train (Jessie T. Usher) and the new up-and-coming speedster known as Shockwave (Mishka Thébaud). A big publicity stunt helping to sell both the heroes and used to also push the company’s agenda, A-Train knows he cannot afford to lose his spot on the team (as the show underlines just how much the heroes rely on their fame and how it might be the most powerful weapon which can be used against them). Staking out A-Train’s girlfriend (Brittany Allen), the Boys discover the speedster’s dirty little secret involving a drug that enhances his abilities but makes him loose control. A-Train’s reliance on it brings it to the Boys’ attention as well as reveal the super-hero was hopped-up on it when he ran through Hughie‘s (Jack Quaid) girlfriend.

Warehouse 13 - Buried / Reset television review

Throwback Thursday takes us back to a top-secret storage facility in South Dakota known as Warehouse 13. The two-part Second Season finale offers the discovery of the lost Warehouse 13 and the inevitable betrayal of H.G. Wells (Jaime Murray). Looking the bizarre sudden mummification of college students halfway around the world sends Pete (Eddie McClintock), Myka (Joanne Kelly), Helena, and Valda (Mark Sheppard) in search of the lost Warehouse 2 whose reemergence is slowly destroying Mrs. Frederic‘s (CCH Pounder) connection to the current Warehouse. The first episode features plenty of tomb traps and riddles for the team to decipher, the loss of one of their own, and Helena’s betrayal by grabbing an immensely powerful artifact which could threaten the world. Helena’s quick departure means very little time to search the ancient Warehouse and its contents, but it does allow for Pete to try (and fail) to use a flying carpet and his more successful use of the Wings of Daedalus.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power - Roll With It TV review

“Roll With It” is an amusing episode from the Second Season of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power as a planning session to take a tower from the Horde becomes an out-of-control table-top roll-playing adventure with each character offering “help” that gets further and further away from reality. There are two running gags in the various scenes shown. First, Bow (Marcus Scribner) manages to die in every last one of them. And second, Adora discovers that her friends have very distinct (and often quite humorous) impressions of Catra (AJ Michalka).
