No longer the new kid on the block, Annie Walker’s (Piper Perabo) second year working for the CIA sends her all around the world including Paris, Buenos Aires, Belarus, Venice, Berlin, and back to the Farm to find a traitor burning the CIA’s best and brightest new recruits.

Only a pair of episodes, the season-opener and trip to Mexico City with Joan (Kari Matchett) include Ben Mercer (Eion Bailey) as the second season is built on Annie finding her own footing with the CIA and turning into one of their best field agents.

We also get the return of Mossad Agent Eyal Lavine (Oded Fehr) for a pair of episodes including his search for the man who killed his sister, Annie will have to break the news to a friend (Laara Sadiq) that her recently deceased husband was secretly working for the CIA for two decades, and Auggie (Christopher Gorham) gets his own episode as he goes after the man responsible for his blindness and the death of several members of his former unit.

Worlds’ Finest #1

/ / Comics

worlds-finest-1-coverOf all the comics scheduled in DC’s Second Wave (the six new titles taking the place of the first six casualities of the New 52) the one I found the most intriguing was Worlds’ Finest which centers around two DC heroines with complicated histories. I’ve got to say I enjoyed almost everything about this first issue from writer Paul Levitz with art by George Perez and Kevin Maguire.

Early on its made clear the Power Girl is the Supergirl from Earth-2 (which keeps to the most recent history of the character pre-New 52) and the Huntress in indeed Helena Wayne, the daughter of Earth-2’s Batman (although she’s recently been using the name Helena Bertinelli, the Earth-1 Huntress pre-New 52, as a cover). Through an accident both have found themselves trapped on a parallel Earth which already has a Supergirl and Robin (the identity we’re told Huntress used on her world).

Worlds’ Finest is missing the grim 90’s feel which has been far too present in most of the New 52 titles. It’s fun! And, aside from an unfortuante new costume for Power Girl, it’s really well done.

The Second Season of the BBC’s modern retelling of Sherlock Holmes picks up right where the first left off – in the standoff between Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Watson (Martin Freeman) and Jim Moriarty (Andrew Scott). The weakest part of the entire episode is how quickly, and somewhat unimaginatively, this storyline is wrapped up. However, the episode will pick up quickly a fun montage of Sherlock’s rising celebrity and then a new case as Sherlock will test his wits against a new adversary – “The Woman.”
