Star Wars: Clone Wars 2.20

Death Trap

- Part 1 of 3 part story that introduces Boba Fett
- seeing young Boba Fett, knowing what he will become is part of what made the episode so appealing
- the focus is very much on Boba Fett, although Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu also play important roles
- the Admiral was a bit of a stereotype
- I was surprised how easy it was to take down the Endurancee
- very disappointed by the clone teacher/instructor who didn't even notice when Lucky/Boba was missing

Legends of Tomorrow 1.04

White Knights

- the team leaves the 1970s and lands in 1985; first stop is the Pentagon; they steal some doucuments but blow their cover in the process; Hawkwoman goes feral momentarily; they make it out intact; the documents indicate that Vandal Savage is now in the Soviet Union so they head there
- In the USSR they discover that Vandal Savage is attempting to build a new Firestorm; they try to steal the key component in Savage's set up; Captain Cold gets away with the nuclear reactor core but Heat Wave, Atom, and Dr. Stein get captured in the process

- two new characters show up who have appeared in DC Comics before although I am not familiar with either of them, aside from what I recently read on Comic Book DB:
- Valentina Vostok - in the show she is working for Savage, his head scientist; in the comics she was Negative Woman of the second iteration of the Doom Patrol (late 70s - late 80s); after losing her powers she became a secret agent and showed up in Vigilante, Checkmate, Suicide Squad, and one issue of Firestorm (1987) in the mid to late 1980s
- Mikhail Arkadin - in the show he is part of the security detachment that is guarding the base that the team infiltrates and one of those who captures Dr. Stein, Heat Wave, and the Atom; in the comics he becomes part of Firestorm around Firestorm 65; was in the story for quite a bit over the net 3 years; issue 85 seems to be his last appearance except for the final issue of the series, 100

- still loving the show; can't wait to see how Vostok and Arkadin get folded into the show; loved the Hawkgirl/White Canary fighting/training scenes; Victor Garber is still great as Dr. Stein but Wentworth Miller is stealing the show as Captain Cold; every scene he is in is lots of fun, love how he rubs people the wrong way and still manages to come out on top
- really enjoying watching this show evolve; I like how things don't return to status quo at the end of each episode
- Rip meeting with another Time Agent in the woods; the return of Chronos (aka Boba Fett); undercover missions in the US (Pentagon) and Soviet Union

Jessica Jones 1.13

AKA Smile

- a bit more anticlimactic than I wanted it to be; I'm talking about the final confrontation between Killgrave and Jessica
- I liked that Trish got to play a bigger part in the final showdown; really hope she gets to be Hellcat
- It was nice to see Claire Temple again
- felt as if they could have or should have stretched out the escape from the hospital a little more than they did
- I thought KG had her at the end, until she looked at Trish when she said "I love you"
- I was led to believe the Punisher was going to show up in this season; I tended to believe that even though he didn't seem like a good fit for this story or this sort of villain
- that scene with Jeri Hogerth and the cops made me feel as if she may have taken or been injected with some of the genes that gave Killgrave his powers; maybe they will start to manifest next season; Jessica was definitely giving her some weird looks in that meeting
- Actually teared up a lot when Jessica killed Killgrave; felt like I could finally relax; David Tennant was the standout best performer in this season; Krysten Ritter was also quite good, as was Carrie Ann Moss

Star Wars: Clone Wars 2.19

The Zillo Beast Strikes Back

- a number of moments evoke memories of King Kong
- sad ending with a twist
- Zillo Beast killed but Palpatine wants the scientist to clone it
- Palpatine is evil, evil, evil!!!
- Anakin sides with Palpatine

Legends of Tomorrow 1.03

Blood Ties

- Rip Hunter tries to kill Vandal Savage in ancient Egypt
- Rip Hunter teams up with White Canary in an attempt to steal Vandal Savage's money
- White Canary's blood lust is more apparent
- the body of Carter Hall and his blood adding to ordinary human longevity
- Rip Hunter kills Vandal Savage but also mistakenly provides him with the information he will need to locate Rip's wife and child
- Hawkman's body recovered
- Atom and Dr. Stein working to save the life of Hawkwoman
- Captain Cold's trip to visit his father in an attempt to change the past, which doesn't work out as he planned

Jessica Jones 1.12

AKA Take a Bloody Number

- pretty damn good
- lots of Luke Cage in this episode; no Simpson or Hogarth; plus Killgrave is back!
- it takes most of the episode but Jessica and Luke track down Killgrave; actually he finds them in the end and turns Luke against Jessica; she has to use a shotgun to stop him
- Patsy's mother shows up again; turns out that the folks who were behind Simpson's transformation also helped Jessica when she was younger; Patsy's Mom is the one who provides this nugget
- a number of scenes with Luke partially undressed
- enjoyed the fight scenes; not quite at a level with Daredevil but still good; the scene where Killgrave almost has his father mutilate his own hand was intense
- David Tennant is awesome; I assume that Killgrave is going to die in the finale
- I think the Punisher is going to show up in the next episode; although the description is kind of ambiguous

Legends of Tomorrow 1.02

Pilot - Part 2

- really enjoyed it

Things I loved:
- Dr. Stein talking to and dealing with his younger self
- White Canary flirting with Dr. Stein
- the fight at the arms sale
- the Atom and Captain Cold arguing and fighting
- Vandal Savage

Things I didn't love
- the Hawks, especially him, I wasn't disappointed when he got killed but I assume that he will be back
