3 Body Problem - Countdown

The opening episode of 3 Body Problem introduces us to a world where the laws of science appear to be broken (although this is more told to use, over and over again, that properly shown or explained). Along with the unexplained phenomena of all particle colliders malfunctioning, the suicide rate in scientists, physicists in particular, has skyrocketed. Many are being haunted by a ticking clock which only they can see. And, somehow, what is currently happening appears to have something to do with secret experiments in China during the 1960s. Rosalind Chao and Zine Tseng both star as Chinese scientist Ye Wenjie in the present and the turbulent past, who is the character most likely to have answers for what’s happening.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch - Infiltration / Extraction

Now with Omega (Michelle Ang) and Crosshair (Dee Bradley Baker) back in the fold, Star Wars: The Bad Batch turns its attention to working the other clones back into the larger story. After capturing one of the new clone assassins targeting both senators and searching for Omega, Rex (Baker) and his team contact Hunter (Baker) unknowingly putting them in danger of another assassin. While “Infiltration” lays the foundation of the episode and brings the characters together, “Extraction” centers around the heroes racing to stay one-step ahead of the Imperials on their trail. The episodes are solid, but not without some head-scratching moments in terms of the logic given events already laid out for the show.

Star Wars #56

Staying with stories of Lando Calrissian, Star Wars Saturday takes a look back at Lando’s return to Cloud City. Published one year after The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars #56 features Lando’s return to the all but abandoned mining colony on Bespin. The only life he finds are his old friend Lobot half out of his mind and a group of Imperials led by the duplicitous Hugo Treece who are struggling in ridding the city of bombs left by the Ugnaughts (who apparently didn’t take kindly to Imperial rule).
