Powerpuff Girls: The Bureau of Bad #1

Powerpuff Girls: The Bureau of Bad #1 comic reviewUsing a concept put to great use in one of the best Batman: The Animated Series episodes ever made, Powerpuff Girls: The Bureau of Bad #1 opens with the Townsville High Villains Council gathering together to gripe about what a menace the Power Girls are and who among them is worthy to lead the group against the pint-sized heroines. If the first issue is any indication, it will take a miracle for these villains to ever reach a consensus.

After the initial set-up, which gives us the awesomeness that is Mojo Jojo, most of the first issue takes place as a flashback involving Princess Morbucks‘ recent attempt to defeat the heroines by stealing the rights to the name of the Powerpuff Girls. While initially the girls are confused by the turn of events, they soon discover they don’t need to be called the Powerpuff Girls in order to save the day.

The Librarians and the Graves of Time television review

“And the Graves of Time” brings back Nicole Noone (Sonya Walger) as Eve (Rebecca Romijn) hunts down the former Guardian and decides to help Nicole stop a group of thieves from robbing several of her graves of magical artifacts hidden in them over the centuries. With Jenkins (John Larroquette) firmly believing that Nicole harbors ill-will to both himself and the Library, and Eve and Flynn (Noah Wyle) both willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, the plot allows the character’s true motivations to remain questionable up until the end when a powerful new villain is revealed (and, oddly, immediately dispensed with).

Magnum, P.I. - Did You See the Sunrise? TV review

Today’s Throwback Tuesday post takes us back to the two-part opener of Magnum, P.I.‘s Third Season. The arrival of an old war buddy (James Whitmore Jr.) on the island brings back Vietnam prisoner-of-war memories for both Magnum (Tom Selleck) and T.C. (Roger E. Mosley), especially when their friend informs them that the brutal KGB officer (Bo Svenson) who tortured them in Vietnam has followed him to the islands. “Did You See the Sunrise?” plays on some common themes we’ll see throughout the series including Higgins (John Hillerman) get rankled by Magnum and his friends, and Buck Greene (Lance LeGault) refusing to share information with Magnum, this time resulting in the death of series regular Mac (Jeff MacKay). The episodes also introduce Maggie Poole (Jean Bruce Scott) as Magnum’s new inside man within Greene’s office.

Jessica Jones #15

/ / Comics

Jessica Jones #15 comic reviewJessica Jones has issues. I’m just saying. Jessica Jones #15 brings the super-hero detective face-to-face with the Purple Man for a mostly-civil discussion about how Kilgrave has missed her company and needs something from her. Mostly civil, that is to say, until Jessica’s pals (with the help of Kraven the Hunter) spring their trap and assassinate the mind-controlling super-villain in mid-sentence. And then things get interesting.

By interesting, I’m not so much referring to Jessica beating up the dead man’s corpse (which see does with ferocity). No, I’m referring to the fact that death doesn’t seem to agree with the Purple Man who rises to his feet in a far less agreeable mood than when his conversation with Jessica began.

The Librarians and the Silver Screen TV review

Directed by Jonathan Frakes, “And the Silver Screen” offers an amusing adventure when Flynn (Noah Wyle) and Eve (Rebecca Romijn) become trapped in one of the Guardian’s favorite film noirs. Doing their best to complete the story, the pair only find themselves stuck in a loop and will need the help of Jenkins (John Larroquette) uncovering a hidden truth about the film, and the other Librarians (trapped in other films), to break the cycle and make it back to the real world.
