Kill la Kill - Trigger TV review

“Trigger” introduces a new enemy in Tsumugu Kinagase (Shin’ichirô Miki). Unlike the others who have attacked Ryūko Matoi (Ami Koshimizu) in previous episodes, Tsumugu is not a member of the school sent after our heroine but instead attacks both Ryūko and various clubs indiscriminately. The man’s needles drain the power of Goku Uniforms, making him a formidable opponent, and he has one mission: to destroy the Kamui. Unlike previous battles, Ryūko is defeated (rather soundly and repeatedly). Only the realization that Senketsu is willing to be destroyed to protect Ryūko, thus shattering the man’s preconceptions of Kamui, prevents Tsumugu from completing his mission. While certainly not a friend, it appears Tsumugu may no longer be an enemy.

Lucifer - Infernal Guinea Pig television review

Whoever coined the phrase “the devil is in the details” obviously never met Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis). While there is a murder of the week to solve and some lingering drama between Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt) and her friends, the main focus of “Infernal Guinea Pig” is Lucifer’s latest attempt to defy his father and help Pierce (Tom Welling) find a way to die. This week that involves returning to Hell, grabbing Abel’s soul, and putting it in a recently deceased body on Earth (thus negating the murder that caused Cain’s curse). While one of Lucifer’s better plans involving the immortal police captain, things go quickly awry when Lucifer puts Abel not in and elderly black man but a vivacious young woman (Lauren Lapkus) who they immediately lose.

Jessica Jones #17

/ / Comics

Jessica Jones #17 comic reviewJessica Jones #17 brings a conclusion (at least for now) to the odd relationship between Jessica Jones and Zebediah Killgrave, the Purple Man. It’s a talky final issue between the pair as Jessica refuses Kilgrave’s offer and verbally spars over the reasoning against using his powers at all (even for the greater good). Despite the temptation, Jessica is firmly against the possibility of using Killgrave to “fix” the world. Is it the right decision? Perhaps, perhaps not, but it is the only one (given their history) that Jessica could make.

I’ll admit the end, Kilgrave’s exit (if indeed it is an exit and not some elaborate feint), left me a bit cold. Far from going out in style, our villain simply ceases to be which leads into a great panel by artist Michael Gaydos on the relief which washes over our heroine like a tidal wave.
