Voltron - The Way Forward television review

Captured and trapped aboard a Galra cruiser run by Zethrid (Jamie Gray Hyder) and Ezor (Kimiko Glenn), the Paladins’ long road home continues. With any hope of rescue centered around Coran (Rhys Darby), who managed to accidentally lock himself in the Black Lion‘s cargo hold, things look bleak for our heroes. Luckily, he’s got some help in the mice and the unexpected reappearance of Acxa (Erica Luttrell). Although there is very little in terms of space battles, “The Way Forward” offers action aboard the Galra ship as the Paladins make their escape only to discover some shocking news.

Elementary - The Geek Interpreter television review

There are several pieces in play with “The Geek Interpreter” including the return of Rich Sommer as Holmes‘ (Jonny Lee Miller) pet mathematician Harlan Emple, the kidnapping of one of Harlan’s graduate students, an elaborate scheme to profit off of land rights, murder, and Watson (Lucy Liu) sticking her nose into Sherlock Holmes’ love life. The later also allows for the return of Alia Attallah as Holmes’ friend with benefits who it seems may turn into something more (although I’m not holding my breath). And, once again, we get another mention of Moriarty. Although she won’t return this season, the final two episodes will return to focus on Holmes’ newest frenemy, I do wonder if we my get to see “the woman” when Elementary returns for its Seventh Season.

Usagi Yojimbo: The Hidden #5

/ / Comics

Usagi Yojimbo: The Hidden #5 comic reviewIn Usagi Yojimbo: The Hidden #5 Inspector Ishida and Miyamoto Usagi finally discover what was in the stolen box that led to the death of a Christian. What everyone continues to search, and kill, for is a banned Christian Bible which has been painstakingly translated into Japanese. As to the bible’s origins, or its current whereabouts, our protagonists remain in the dark.

Despite knowing that his boss would not approve, Ishida continues to rely on the help of the infamous thief Nezumi who provides a crucial piece of evidence that leads to Usagi and the detective uncovering the truth about the missing bible (whose very existence is a kind of heresy that could reign down wrath on everyone involved if its existence becomes widely known).

A Nero Wolfe Mystery - Prisoner's Base television review

Today’s Throwback Tuesday post takes us back to the mid 20th Century New York and the private detective offices located at 454 W. 35th Street. “Prisoner’s Base” offers an unusual set-up as potential client, and the heir to a large fortune, refuses to give her name and attempts to buy a week under Nero Wolfe (Maury Chaykin)’s roof. Although Archie (Timothy Hutton) agrees to the absurd arrangement, Wofle cries phooey and prefers to take the money of the woman’s legal guarding offering several thousand dollars for her return. After being ousted from the brownstone (with a generous head start to find a new hiding place), Priscilla Eads (Shauna Black) dies that very night leaving Archie with a bruised ego and Wolfe with no paying client in sight (which doesn’t stop Archie from beginning his own investigation into the murder). Archie’s eventual arrest by an overzelous leaves Wolfe no choice but to take on Archie as a client.

The Wild Storm #16

/ / Comics

The Wild Storm #16 comic reviewJohn Lynch‘s check-ins with former members of Project Thunderbook continues as his journey takes him to Gloria Spaulding. The interaction goes better than some of Lynch’s recent attempts (Gloria doesn’t attempt to kill him), but as with the others changed by Thunderbook, Spaulding is far from human… although like another member of Thunderbook she has passed something down to a daughter (as the comic continues to pave the way for a new version of Gen13).

The Wild Storm #16 also offers the first interaction between Jenny Mei Sparks and Angela Spica when Jenny becomes aware of the Engineer’s existence. Although Angela doesn’t sign up with Jenny’s new group, the conversation does spur the Engineer to take steps to protect herself from the growing conflict.
