“Rising Sun” offers the return of CGSI Neil Pike (Mark Gessner) whose undercover mission to recover smuggled guns ends in bloodshed when put between various sides of the local Yakuza when the upstart son of one of the most powerful families starts up an old rivalry for his own gain. Pike seems to get passed around to someone in every episode and this time he’s Ernie‘s (Jason Antoon) problem (although the pair do manage to forge a bond by the end). Other than Team Nernie, the episode is notable for Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) and Whistler (Tori Anderson) having each other’s backs and for stirring up the ongoing B-story involving Kai‘s (Alex Tarrant).

The first two episodes of Will Trent introduce us to talented, but hated, Special Agent Will Trent (Ramón Rodríguez) and a collection of equally damaged people, many of whom have long-term relations to Trent including his longtime friend and sometimes lover Angie (Erika Christensen), and a brand-new partner (Iantha Richardson) assigned to work with him in his job as an investigator for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The case they’ll work through involves an old frenemy (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) from Will’s childhood whose daughter is kidnapped.

Scooby-Doo! – Watch Out! The Willawaw!

  • Title: Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! – Watch Out! The Willawaw!
  • wiki: link

Flashback Friday takes us back to Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! for another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. The first episode of the show’s Third Season, “Watch Out! The Willawaw!” isn’t the strongest episode of the series. Gone is the music montage and the multi-door hallway gag. The creature is also a bit disappointing in a giant glowing owl (complimented by two cohorts in full-sized owl costumes) that lacks the pop of several other mystery monsters the group comes upon. We do get a trap that works as planned, a rarity in the series, except that it traps Shaggy (Casey Kasem) and Scooby-Doo (Don Messick) rather than the villains leading to a twist on the show’s unmasking sequence.

The Human Target #10

/ / Comics

With only three days left to live, Christopher Chance decides to leave Ice and do a little investigating into Guy Gardner‘s apparent death. For help, he’ll call on the universe’s most gullible Green Lantern – G’Nort. Given recent events, I didn’t expect a trip to Oa was in the offering, but that’s what we get with Chance making a discovery leading to another confrontation with the not-so-dead Lantern, and G’Nort vomiting all over a Guardian. You don’t see that every day.
