Terror of the Zygons - Part Three

Harry gets free from grip that the Zygons have over him. He rushes into their control room and throws himself on the controls. His efforts disrupt their efforts to kill the Doctor using the Skarasen.

Sergeant Benton and some of the other UNIT soldiers search the inn for hidden cameras or microphones. They don't find any but the Zygons catch on to what they are doing thanks to one of the devices in the main room of the inn. Angus, the inn keeper, after Benton and the others have left finds one of the devices but one of the Zygons finds him and kills him before he can tell anyone about it.

Mirror, Mirror

A landing party consisting of Captain Kirk, Lieutenant Commander Scott, Doctor McCoy, and Lieutenant Uhura returns to the Enterprise from the surface of the Halkan homeworld only to find themselves aboard a version of the Enterprise that they don't recognize. Their uniforms have changed. Spock has a beard. Corporal punishment is used to enforce discipline.

Kirk and the rest of the landing party play along until they can get their bearings. They are in a mirror version of the universe they know. Kirk receives orders to wipe out a Halkan city after they refuse to allow the Empire, the mirror version of the Federation, to mine dilithium on the Halkan homeworld. He decides to give the Halkans more time, 12 more hours, to change their minds. Spock and Sulu question the decision but Kirk insists that's how it will be.

Safe Conduct

starring Claire Trevor

written by Andrew Solt

directed by Justus Addiss

American journalist Mary Prescott (Claire Trevor) is returning by train from a country that is behind the Iron Curtain when she meets professional soccer player Jan Gubak. He convinces her to sneak a watch across the border for hum. His sister is in Munich and in need of an operation. The watch is a family heirloom that he hopes to sell once the train gets to Munich in the hopes that the sale will raise enough money to pay for the operation. 

Gubak pulls a fast one and calls her out for trying to smuggle the watch. They are both held by the authorities until it is determined that the watch isn't valuable. They are both released at that point and allowed to get back on the train. Jan stops by to see her again. This time with another item that he wants her to smuggle out. This time it is really something of value, the memoirs of the organizer of an anti-communist group who recently died in prison. 

The Good Place 1.10

Chidi's Choice

Tahani gives Jason a piece of her mind.

Michael tries to work with Chidi but Chidi is so indecisive that it drives Michael bonkers. Eleanor tells  Chidi that she loves him. Tahani, moments later, also tells Chidi that she loves him. Chidi runs away, back to Michael, who tries to help Chidi get over his indecisiveness.

Jason decides he's in love with Janet. The episode ends with them getting married.

Thoughts

There were some flashbacks to Chidi's past which helped to illustrate how indecisive he was when he was alive.

This was a fun one. I'm not sure how they are going to wrap up the season in the next three episodes but i am on board for that.

Amazing Stories 1.05

The Mission

starring Kevin Costner, Casey Siemaszko, Kiefer Sutherland

written by Menno Meyjes, Steven Spielberg

directed by Steven Spielberg

The crew of an American bomber flying a mission (from England during World War II) survives encounters with German airplanes but encounters some difficulty on was home. Jonathan (Casey Siemaszko), the belly gunner, gets trapped in the belly turret due to damage incurred during aerial combat. The landing gear was also damaged and the airplane is running out of fuel. They have enough to make it back to England but they don't have enough to try anything fancy.

The only chance is for the pilot (Kevin Costner) to land the airplane on its belly but while the rest of them should probably survive such a landing, Jonathan would be crushed. They try valiantly to get Jonathan out of the turret without success. In the end Jonathan comes with an unconventional and magical solution.

Adventure Time 5.23

One Last Job

Jake gets a ransom note from someone that is holding Jake Jr. hostage. They explain that if he doesn't get the gang back together and pull one last job, one last heist, then he will never see Jake Jr. again. Jake does what he has to and summons Gareth, the Flying Lettuce Brothers, and Tiffany Oiler. Together they rob the candy vault of the Baker's Shard but all is not as it seems.

Thoughts

Finn is in this episode briefly. Jake doesn't want Finn to know about what he is doing.

I love some of the dialogue. If you listen carefully there are a few lines that sound a bit like cursing.
