Nikita - Broken Home

Things have looked better for Nikita (Maggie Q) and Michael (Shane West). Alex‘s (Lyndsy Fonseca) little rebellion has gotten out of her control as her co-conspirators have taken Division by force and are threatening to kill anyone who stands against them. Michael and Sean (Dillon Casey) are both locked up, unable to warn anyone that Owen (Devon Sawa) has turned and is in possession of the Black Box. As Rachel (Jessica Camacho) busies herself with emptying Division’s bank accounts and providing each agent a shiny new life, Alex’s other minions force Birkhoff (Aaron Stanford) to shutdown Shadownet for good making it nearly impossible for Division to find the scattered assassins after they leave the nest, which means killing Birkhoff as well.

Glee - Sweet Dreams

As New Directions puts the shooting behind them, in a variety of odd ways, to prepare for Regionals, Rachel (Lea Michele) prepares for “the culmination of every dream” she’s ever had by trying out for the Broadway revival of Funny Girl, with the unexpected help of Shelby (Idina Menzel) who shows up at Miata to help her daughter land her dream role. Finn (Cory Monteith) and Puck (Mark Salling) begin a teenager’s dream version of college together (all partying all the time), Coach Beiste (Dot Jones) convinces Will (Matthew Morrison) to forgive Finn, and Roz Washington (NeNe Leakes) takes over the Cheerios proving to be every bit as loudmouthed, crazy, and annoying as the departing Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch).

“You’re saying someone framed Bigfoot?”

Castle - The Fast and the Furriest

Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic) investigate a murder victim who worked at a primate sanctuary and whose mauled body was dumped at the emergency room in the middle of the night by a convicted killer (James Madio) recently released on parole. A talk with the convict who found the woman in the alley, before unceremoniously dumping her in front of the ER, leads Beckett and Castle to the crime scene which boasts some unusual circumstantial evidence (in the form of giant footprints) that convinces the mystery writer the crime was committed by Bigfoot.

Star Wars #4

/ / Comics

Star Wars #4As Han Solo and Chewbacca manage to evade the Imperials by plunging the Millenium Falcon deep into the core of Coruscant, Leia and Wedge discover their position has been given away as the pair of X-Wing pilots find themselves cut off from the rest of the Rebellion with two Star Destroyers and an entire fleet of Tie Interceptors between them and rejoining the fleet.

Although grounded, Luke gets a message from an old friend warning him of Leia’s danger. With the help of C-3PO and R2-D2, Luke gets the clearance codes he needs to stage a rescue mission on his own, but given the odds it may be too little too late. The comic makes an interesting choice to allow Prithi to overhear Ben‘s message making me wonder if she’s Force-sensitive or if Ben’s message is audible, not telepathic, and could possibly be overheard by anyone in the vicinity.

In the comic’s other ongoing storyline Darth Vader looks for new ways to motivate the second Death Star workers to get them back on schedule. Worth a look.

[Dark Horse, $3.99]
