Batman: The Caped Crusader - The Killer Inside Me / Savage Night

The First Season of Batman: The Caped Crusader culminates in the attack on Harvey Dent (Diedrich Bader) and his transformation into Two-Face. Teased throughout the season, the cost of Harvey’s association to Rupert Thorne‘s (Cedric Yarbrough) comes due. In “The Killer Inside Me” we see Bruce Wayne‘s (Hamish Linklater) attempts to console his friend which only lead Harvey on a path of murder and revenge. And in “Savage Night” the plan to have Harvey testify against Thorne blows up when our crooked cops show up to kill Harvey leading to a showdown on the wharf and the apparent death of Two-Face.

Doctor Odyssey - Singles Week

With it’s second episode Doctor Odyssey already seems to have found its formula. We get a themed cruised, this week being a singles cruise, with a story outside of the expected thrown in and still time to play with the romantic interests of Max (Joshua Jackson), Avery (Phillipa Soo), and Tristan (Sean Teale). While I’m already tired of the love triangle, the rest of the episode works fairly well with a gigolo’s (Chord Overstreet) Syphilis outbreak providing the humor and the rescue of a survivor on a life raft (Kassandra Cruz) providing the drama. The Captain (Don Johnson) also gets a bit more to do in his romance with one of the passengers and a health scare. Like with Avery’s experience with the rescued woman, the Captain’s story allows for an opportunity to flesh out his character a bit more as well.

Murder in a Small Town - Fall from Grace

“Fall from Grace” continues to progress the relationship of Chief of Police Karl Alberg (Rossif Sutherland) and librarian Cassandra Lee (Kristin Kreuk) as the high school reunion brings an opportunity for the pair to take their first public outing as a couple and also leads to another murder. In the episode we see the highs and lows for Cassandra, quickly following for Karl, only to see his job interfere again at an inopportune time abandoning her at the dance. I would be surprised if this give-and-take doesn’t continually appear over the series for as long as the two are romantically linked.

LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy - Part Four

The fun of LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy has been seeing the various strange mashups of characters and ships in the new universe Sig (Gaten Matarazzo) accidentally created. Unfortunately, by the time you get to the final episode, there are no more of these fun surprises left (except in the epilogue), leaving the show to struggle with only its base story to fall back on. “Part Four” does what you would expect, wrapping up the story while still leaving the world open to future adventures. However, other than the tease of the Landolorian (Billy Dee Williams) and Grogu there’s not much memorable here.
