NCIS: Origins – Sick as Our Secrets

  • Title: NCIS: Origins – Sick as Our Secrets
  • wiki: link

The primary focus of “Sick as Our Secrets” deals with  Gibbs (Austin Stowell) and Randy (Caleb Foote) being assigned the protection detail for a priest (Jonah Wharton) who knows the identity of a killer but cannot share it because it came through the confessional. The episode really exists to explore the guilt Randy has been carrying around for months, volunteering for every protection detail, after another agent took his place protecting Gibbs’ wife and daughter. As for the case of the week, it’s fine, and includes an interesting segment of Gibbs and Randy mistaking a pair of robbers as killers, but ultimately anticlimactic as the pair end up not protecting him from the killer and the priest simply gives them the name (meaning no one is asked to solve a crime).

Black Canary: Best of the Best #1

The idea of pitting Black Canary against Lady Shiva has been done before, most notable during Gail Simone’s Birds of Prey run. I’m all for a single issue to see the warriors square off, under the right circumstances with motives that make sense for both characters, but a six-issue mini-series setting up a prize fight seems a bit much.

While Willis Wu (Jimmy O. Yang) continues to use the Delivery Guy disguise to gain access to the police department looking for the evidence of his brother’s case which is set to be destroyed, Lana Lee (Chloe Bennet) struggles in attempts to connect with Green (Lisa Gilroy) hoping to avoid becoming more than the latest in the line of recurring characters replaced after a few months. Through his disguise, Willis manages to make real friends in the department who were originally hostile to him. However, despite the number of free meals he delivers, he’s unable to find the evidence before it gets destroyed. Thankfully, with the help of his new friends, he’ll find a way to level up at the end of the episode into “Tech Guy.”
