Green Lantern #20

/ / Comics

Green Lantern #20 offers a couple of stories. In the main tale, we get Hal Jordan on the planet Alteon-X where Erastus the Blacksmith has been consumed with rage, rampaging across the entire planet leaving bodies in his wake. Unable to reason with the hate-fueled madman, Hal attempts to try and let the rage run its course only for it to build to a climax leaving only destruction in its wake.

Shifting Gears – Picnic

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Shifting Gears – Picnic
  • IMDb: link

“Picnic” focuses on the rivalry between Matt (Tim Allen) and Eve (Jenna Elfman) when Riley’s (Kat Dennings) boss adds a picnic table to the shared alley. The bickering between the pair never really escalates to anything of note, they eventually come to shared understanding and peace which is broken by a misunderstanding that is discovered but never acting upon. All in all, it’s a pretty lazy episode that also bleeds into the B-story involving both Matt and Riley struggling to give Carter (Maxwell Simkins) the sex talk which, like the main storyline, doesn’t have a real resolution either.

Zero Day – Episode 1

  • Title: Zero Day – Episode 1
  • IMDb: link

The opening episode of Netflix’s Zero Day introduces us to former President George Mullen (Robert De Niro) who after a cyber attack is tapped by the current President (Angela Bassett) and given extraordinary powers to uncover those responsible. Presenting Mullen as the last politician who successfully bridged the two parties, the political thriller early on feels like a cautionary tale of the potential of abuse of power even in the best hands, with the problems of Hollywood not knowing how technology works and relying on “something bad happening involving computers” to be our boogeyman. Presenting Mullen as an unreliable protagonist in the first episode who is either being gaslight or is suffering from early-stage dementia (or possibly both) simply muddies the water before the show ever gets off the ground to very mixed results.
