“Fugitive of the Judoon” Doctor Who crosses the halfway point of the season with a returning alien threat and a few surprises for viewers to digest.

“Remembrance” Patrick Stewart’s iconic Jean Luc Picard returns in a brand new adventure picking up decades after the last time he led the franchise.

“The Trap” Supernatural returns from hiatus with Sam and Eileen confronting Chuck while Sam heads to Purgatory with Castiel to find the Leviathan Blossom that will hopefully help trap Chuck and save their universe. I’ve dropped the ball a bit on my reviews of this show because of real life majorly getting in the way…
Crisis on Infinite Earths delivers a double feature for its conclusion starting with the Paragons trying to figure out a way to restore all that has been lost.
