Elementary - Dead Man's Switch

As Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) nears a full year of sobriety, he and Watson (Lucy Liu) search for the accomplice of a murdered blackmailer (David Mogentale) who specialized in targeting the families of rape victims including a friend (Thomas Jay Ryan) of Alfredo (Ato Essandoh). Holmes gets Captain Gregson (Aidan Quinn) to agree to keep the murder under wraps giving the consulting detective a small window of time before the man’s accomplice learns of the murder and does something rash like publishing the video of the rape of Eva (Portia Reiners), along with those of other girls, online as a form of reprisal.

Person of Interest - In Extremis

Reese (Jim Caviezel) and Finch (Michael Emerson) may be too late to save their latest number, a cardiologist (Dennis Boutsikaris) who was given slow-acting poison for which there is no cure. For such an honest man the list of suspects is staggering: the man’s protege and former mistress (Gabrielle Miller), the doctor’s hedge fund manager (Matthew Humphreys) under SEC investigation for insider trading, a friend at a pharmaceutical firm (Matthew Rauch) whose drug trial was halted based on the doctor’s recommendation costing the firm millions, and the doctor’s estranged daughter (Allison Scagliotti).

Guardians of the Galaxy #2

/ / Comics

Guardians of the Galaxy #2Crashing to Earth with the Badoon warship, Iron Man and the Guardians of the Galaxy find themselves trapped in London with no possible support other than from the likes of British heroes like Captain Britain. (And, really, what help would they be anyway?)

The latest issue is a little slow to get going, and the action is interrupted on several occasions to showcase King J-Son‘s political workings with a who’s who of the leaders of the Marvel Universe’s cosmic races (including the Supreme Intelligence, Annihilus, Freya, Gladiator, Y-Gaaaar, and the Brood Queen, which leads to the Badoon attacking Earth (and which eventually gets our heroes in trouble after saving London).

The reasoning behind no other heroes showing up to assist Iron Man and the Guardians is a little weak (to say the least), but it does offer plenty of opportunities to showcase the the deadly skills of Gamora, Drax, and especially Rocket Racoon (who is his usual awesome self). Worth a look.

[Marvel, $3.99]
