Delicious in Dungeon - Kelpie/Porridge/Broiled with Sauce

As the adventurers travel down another level in the dungeon we get an episode that brings back the other party seen in a previous episode, who they come across as dead again. Events here seemingly set up a misunderstanding and likely eventual confrontation between the two groups at some point later in the series. The episode also brings back Senshi‘s (SungWon Cho) distrust of magic which he will overcome and a slight change to his concept of the balanced ecosystem within the dungeon.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - The Dancing Men

Sherlock Sunday takes us back to 221 B Baker Street and the Granada Television’s faithful adaptations of the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. A baffled Hilton Cubitt (Tenniel Evans) travels to London to hire Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett) about some unusual drawings which have scared his wife (Betsy Brantley) nearly to death. After finding a pattern and dismissing them as more than simple vandalism, Holmes sets out to break the code arriving at the true answer too late to prevent tragedy from striking at Riding Horse Manor.

Spider-Man - Return of the Spider Slayer

Spidey Saturday takes us back to the 90s. The show wastes no time in bringing back the Spider Slayers. In an obvious attempt to create (pretty crappy) toys to sell, “Return of the Spider-Slayers” gives us not one, not two, but three different Spider Slayers with the new ones apparently designed off the shittiest run of Transformers ever (they even combine together to… well, do nothing really except make them infinitely easier to beat when stacked on top of each other – even though the bomb’s explosion doesn’t appear to touch the bottom Slayer). In every way, the Slayers are even less impressive a second time around.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch - Confined

The Season Three premiere of Star Wars: The Bad Batch focuses on the daily routine of Omega (Michelle Ang) now a prisoner of the Imperial Research Facility on Weyland. We don’t get the rest of the Bad Batch, except for Crosshair (Dee Bradley Baker) who is also a guinea pig for the doctors. Because the focus is the structure and banality of Omega’s current plight without hope of escape, the premiere provides less action than almost any episode of the series, although there are some important pieces to the overall puzzle revealed.
