Castle - Driven

Well, that was… different. However the lingering effects of last season’s finale eventually play themselves out it’s hard not to see Castle‘s Seventh Season opener as anything but a misstep caused by cowardice at either (or both) the network level or in the show’s own writers’ room about finally, permanently, putting Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic) together. I thought the show was past the increasingly unnecessary and lame attempts to keep the pair apart, but it appears those days aren’t behind us after all.

Set three months after the events of the show’s Ninth Season finale, Booth (David Boreanaz) remains in prison for the death of three FBI agents. On the outside Bones (Emily Deschanel) gathers the Jeffersonian team to look into a 16 year-old murder in hopes of unraveling the conspiracy inside the FBI. Hodgins (T.J Thyne), Clark (Eugene Byrd), and Cam (Tamara Taylor) have their hands full when they discover someone to great pains to make it incredibly difficult to gather any new useful information about the remains should they ever be exhumed. Fearing for her husband’s safety in the prison, Bones also takes it upon herself to blackmail the Federal Prosecutor (David Fabrizio) in charge of his case to get Booth sent home before another prison assault leaves Booth with more than just scrapes and bruised ribs.

Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #5

/ / Comics

Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #5When Paradise Island comes under attack from mythological monsters which disappear as quickly as they appear Wonder Woman calls on the services of Mystery, Inc. who Batman personally recommends given the fact that he can’t step foot on Themyscira. With Shaggy and Fred cooped up on the Invisible Plane, and Scooby free to wander the island (the laws don’t apply to dogs it seems), Velma and Daphne undergo a crash course in Amazon fighting while waiting for the first sign of danger.

Despite the fact the Scooby Gang finds themselves on an island where magic is real, the latest issue of Scooby-Doo Team-Up keeps the the classic formula of having a reasonable explanation behind all the odd occurrences – even the giant Hydra, Cyclops, and Minotaur which they see attack the Amazons with their own eyes. Rather than have the “no men allowed” be a sexist ban, writer Sholly Fisch writes in an explanation in the form of a curse stripping the Amazons of their power should men step foot on the island which also explains the reason for the Duke of Deception‘s illusions. As always, worth a look.

[DC, $2.99]
