Chloe Bennet

Dave – Met Gala

  • Title: Dave – Met Gala

We don’t get nearly enough of Chloe Bennett in “Met Gala,” who is limited only to the opening scenes spending time with Dave (Dave Burd). Notable for a number of celebrities playing themselves, the episode instead focuses on Dave’s desire to make a splash at his first Met Gala where nothing really goes to plan. The only silver lining for Dave in an evening of suprises and a failed spectacle stunt, is unexpectedly hitting it off with Rachel McAdams which sadly feels like early death bells for Dave and Robyn’s (Bennett) relationship despite how well its going between the pair. There are some other subplots involved, but I’ll admit my interest peaked with Bennett on-screen and lagged through much of the rest of the episode including the marginally-zany gala shenanigans.

Chloe Bennett reprises her role as Robyn in “Rebirthday” when she comes out to visit Dave (Dave Burd) and gets roped in by his friends in getting him to a surprise party for his birthday. The episode continues the cute awkwardness of the pair together, and even if it almost gets lost in a rather basic romcom setup of Robin needing to lie to Dave for a good reason, which leads to new problems, coming clean with the truth early saves the episode and brings the pair even closer together as Dave can bare his own truth about recent events.

Okay, the middle of a show’s third season may seem a weird place to jump in for the first time but you announce Chloe Bennett as a guest-star and my attention is piqued. Bennett guest-stars as a local photographer who Dave (Dave Burd) immediately falls for when the tour hits Wisconsin. And the attraction is mutual, despite Dave’s various neuroses. The other storyline involves Ally (Taylor Misiak) joining the tour fresh out of her failed relationship and looking for some revenge sex with an old friend that’s had a crush on her for more than a decade.

Abominable and the Invisible City – Chinese Nian Year

  • Title: Abominable and the Invisible City – Chinese Nian Year (Part 1 & Part 2)
  • IMDb: link / link

The two-part First Season finale centers around Chinese New Year. While “Part 1” teases magical creatures being kidnapped around the city, ending with the abduction of Everest, the first-half of the story is more about the various characters perusing their own interests. Yi (Chloe Bennet) obsesses with an upcoming musical performance and Jin (Tenzing Norgay Trainor) is distracted by a minor role in the parade. With no one else to join them, and believing the festival will hide the look of yeti, Peng (Ethan Loh) takes Everest on an eating tour through the city which eventually leads to the others searching for the pair only to find them as they are taken by Nian.

The Peng (Ethan Loh) centric “Yeti Superstitious” centers around Peng taking Nai Nai‘s (Karen Huie) superstitions to heart in attempts to avoid bad luck and to make the basketball team. While his unpredictable behavior offers some initial success, the more he attempts to follow Nai Nai’s wisdom, which includes pushing and Jin (Tenzing Norgay Trainor) away for their incompatible birth signs, the more disastrous things get. However, with the help of his friends and the Minticons, Peng learns to get over his fears in a nice lesson for the show’s younger audience.
