As a frustrated Watson (Lucy Liu) comes to the conclusion that Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) may have been right about her love life, the two detectives accept a new case involving a former lawyer who had become a debt collector after being fired from his firm. With a suspect pool that includes thousands of angry potential murderers all drowning in debt, Holmes and Watson begin searching for a needle in a haystack beginning (and ending) back at the lawyer’s former firm.

Castle - I, Witness

For the second time in the series history the show casts Castle (Nathan Fillion) as a witness to a murder without any evidence (like say a body) to back-up his story. In true Rear Window style, the previous episode centered around an elaborate play set-up for an injured Castle’s benefit. Here the private investigator is hired by an old friend whose murder he witnesses… although even he begins to doubt just what exactly he saw.

Hawaii Five-0 - La Po'ino

“La Po’ino” brings an old friend and a dangerous new threat to the islands as Joe White (Terry O’Quinn) escorts the first American citizen infected with a particuarly lethal new strain of the bird flu to Hawaii where he’s soon kidnapped by a group of terrorists planning on weaponizing the virus and unleashing it in Washington D.C. The latest episode offers a storyline which will include smuggling disease-carrying bees, secret terrorist cells, and instructing Danny (Scott Caan) on where his partner leaned his kamikaze-style of crime fighting.

Elementary - The One that Got Away

Although Kitty‘s (Ophelia Lovibond) attacker stands revealed there is little to evidence other than her word to tie the man (Stuart Townsend) to a series of kidnappings, tortures, and murders of young women in both New York and London. It doesn’t help that Gruner expertly plans Watson (Lucy Liu) and the NYPD by firing his new investigator before he is questioned by the police making it appear, at least from the outside, as if the accusation is nothing but a slanderous reprisal. Returning to the themes of vengeance used in the First Season episode “M,” “The One that Got Away” bring Kitty face-to-face with her abuser offering her the same opportunity that Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) ultimately walked away from.

Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #8

/ / Comics

Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #8Scooby-Doo and Mystery Inc.‘s time-travel mystery tour which began in Bedrock in the previous issue makes one more stop before returning the meddling kids back home to their own time. Through the use of a Stone Age time machine seen last issue, Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #8 sends Scooby, Shaggy, Fred, Velma, and Daphne far past their own time and into the future where they meet George Jetson, Jane his wife, daughter Judy, his boy Elroy, and another talking dog with something of a speech impediment (who was conincidentally also voiced by Don Messick on The Jetsons).

Although I far prefer the previous issues of teaming the Scoobies with the DC Universe’s vast array of comic crimefighters, this month’s issue works a little better than Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #7. There are a couple of nice touches including Judy swooning over Fred and a fun team-up with Scooby and Astro. In the end the group solves another mystery involving the Space-Age Specter which offers a reveal used before, most notably in “Foul Play in Funland,” where a robot is responsible for the trouble. Worth a look.
