  • IMDb: link

The death of Ms. Pearl (Marla Gibbs) in “A Funeral Fit for a Quartermaine” is the precipitating event for Will (Ramón Rodríguez) and the team to wrap up the Rafael Wexford (Antwayn Hopper) case in an episode that devotes multiple segments to giving us a young Rafael (Yannick Haynes) and Will (Andres Velez) highlighting the ebbs and flows of their relationship including their first meeting. The segments provide a bit more backstory but lacks any shocking revelations. Despite their turmoil, the pair come together to honor the woman they both loved and plan a funeral together (which Will uses to spy on Rafael and Rafael uses for money laundering purposes) before getting caught in a shoot-out at the funeral.

Usagi Yojimbo: Ten Thousand Plums #2

/ / Comics

Usagi Yojimbo: Ten Thousand Plums #2 picks up at the moment the first issue ended with Gen, Miyamoto Usagi and Yukichi, having been stopped by the Shogun’s men, hearing cries which lead them to a field of bodies and the only living witness being a young girl too stunned to explain what she saw (or so our wanderers believe). We’ll get more uncertainty from our travelers, who are still quick enough to jump into action, but it will appear to be at least one more issue before they become aware just what story is unfolding here.

Flashback Friday takes us back to director Michael Bay‘s best film. Sure you could make a case for Armageddon, and some (not me) would argue for Bad Boys II. However, the most successful movie of the popcorn director’s career is unquestionably the 1996 film that united Sean Connery as an aging British Secret Agent unjustly imprisoned for decades after stealing the United States’ most precious secrets and Nicolas Cage as an FBI chemist who find themselves responsible for saving the lives of 81 hostages from mercenaries who have taken control of Alcatraz.
