Red Sonja #18

/ / Comics

The war of wizards and gods comes to a close in Red Sonja #18 as Sonja rejoins the fight and eventually comes face-to-face with Kulan Garth. Her first attempt to kill the wizard doesn’t take, but she is able to eventually put him down to the delight of the shadow powers he had forced under his control. Those powers give Red Sonja leave to return home with the cost that no one remembers her actions or heroism in the war, which, for the She-Devil with a Sword is no price at all.

  • IMDb: link | link

After peaking with “The Message Hidden Within the Pattern,” the Second Season of limps to the finish line with a what if multiverse style story followed by two episodes more concerned with the Noxian army’s collaboration with Viktor (Harry Lloyd), while never truly exploring the moral ramifications of what he has accomplished or Jayce‘s (Kevin Alejandro) obsession which cause the conflict, and their attack on Piltover rather than the characters who have made up the emotional core of the series. The result is an underwhelming finale with some individual moments that ends with a whimper rather than a bang.

Wizards Beyond Waverly Place – Something Wizard This Way Comes

Halloween comes to Waverly Place in “Something Wizard This Way Comes.” Apparently, for wizards, Halloween is bit like Christmas (but spookier) with carols, treats, presents, and a visitor who doesn’t so much bring presents but eats children and candy. While no believes Billie‘s (Janice LeAnn Brown)  story of Pumpkin Belly, that doesn’t stop Billie, Roman (Alkaio Thiele) and Winter (Taylor Cora) from being eaten by the monster and figuring out a way out (which, honestly, is pretty easy).

Is Jayce (Kevin Alejandro) now officially the worst guy ever? There’s a moment near the end of “The Message Hidden Within the Pattern” where Jinx (Ella Purnell) and Vi (Hailee Steinfeld) have come together, Vander has been cured by Viktor, the plans of Ambessa (Ellen Thomas) have been stymied, even Caitlyn (Katie Leung) has seen the error of her ways, and all is right with the world. I feel as if I skipped several episodes of this series which would help explain Jayce’s now murderous obsession with destroying Hextech which I don’t believe has been adequately explained on-screen. That said, enter Jayce to destroy everything ending perhaps the show’s best episode on one hell of a sad note.

Flashback Friday takes us back to 1983, a young king, a captured queen, a motley band of heroes, a quest across a desolate landscape, some questionable special effects, a monstrous beast, a prophecy, and a fortress that relocates across the planet at every dawn. A sword-and-sorcery epic with sci-fi trapping such as alien soldiers with laser rifles, Krull introduces us to Prince Colwyn (Ken Marshall) and Princess Lyssa (Lysette Anthony) whose marriage will unite two warring kingdoms against an invading alien force until they steal the bride on her wedding day.
