Game of Thrones – The Wolf and the Lion

The latest episode of Game of Thrones was the best one yet, and I
think a big part of that was it didn’t feel the need to touch base on
absolutely every character and plot thread. I didn’t even notice until
today that we visited neither Jon at the Wall or Daenerys across the
Narrow Sea, but we didn’t need to, because most of the really important
stuff that happens with them needs to wait a little bit to get going,
and there was plenty going on in Westeros, especially in King’s Landing.
It was easily the bloodiest episode yet, and one that should prove to
anyone wondering that yes, there is a point to all this, and things are
going to get messy.

Nikita – Pandora

After the revelations of last week’s Nikita,
I was worried for the show. I was worried that the writers had backed
themselves into a corner that would require a far too intricate or far
too stupid story to realistically get out of. Needless to say, my worry
was unfounded. Countless of times in the 22 episode run of the show’s
first season, storylines have developed leading us as viewers to believe
that one thing will happen when something entirely different is on the
horizon. The finale “Pandora” lived up to its legacy and delivered
possibly the best episode of the series in terms of hard-hitting
content, whilst all the while providing the action that many viewers are
looking for. 

The
episode opened following immediately on from last week’s cliffhanger in
which Alex may or may not have just shot Nikita. Pretty quickly it is
revealed to us that this is the case and that the titular hero is dead.
The one bad thing about having a show be named after a specific
character really comes to light in that moment as, despite her clearly
being dead, we all know that you can’t have Nikita without Nikita. When Jack Bauer died at the end of the fourth season of 24,
there was undoubtedly a large percentage of any viewer’s brain telling
them that he can’t possibly be dead, but the tiny seed of doubt that
made you think “did that really just happen?” is what made the moment so
powerful. Ultimately, Jack, much like Nikita, wasn’t really dead and in
fact the two of them had their revival play out in pretty much the same
way. We see in a flashback that after shooting Nikita’s body armor,
Alex quickly discarded her monitoring device and injected her with
tetrodotoxin, a paralytic substance that would make her appear dead
until the Division cleaner flushed her system before discarding her
body.

Namco Announces Soul Calibur V

Namco has officially announced that Soul
Calibur V will be arriving on Xbox 360 and PS3 next year. The game will be
set 17 years after the events of Soul Calibur
IV with some of the main characters having aged significantly and the power
struggle having shifted towards the younger generation.

One of the major differences from Soul
Calibur IV will be the inclusion of a more reactive combat system with
combos that are simpler to perform. The game’s producer, Hisaharu Tago, admits
that in Soul Calibur IV there was some delay in the time it took the on-screen characters
to react to the player pressing a button and he insists that Soul Calibur V will feel “much
lighter, sharper and more elegant.”

Last Mortal #1 – Advanced Review

Two-time
loser and petty thief, racked with the death of his only friend, Brian,
Alec contemplates suicide in an abandoned warehouse
along the pier in Philadelphia. He reflects in his loss as tears run
down his
face and a pistol tightens in his hand. As his thoughts race back to
yesterday,
he puts the gun under his chin and pulls the trigger.

Yesterday, after running the gambit of small-time hustling
to get some money for food (hot dogs), he meets up with Brian on the Philadelphia
pier where he lives. Alec finds his friend fresh off an ass beating that he received
from his fixer for skimming off the top. So to make things right, Brian tells
Alec that they have to kill a local politician by the name of Callahan. Alec is
against the idea but Brian tells him that he’s backed into a corner and he has
no choice. As a further guilt trip to
Alec, Brian reminds him that he has shot a man before. Reluctantly, Alec agrees
to help his friend out.

B.P.R.D. – The Dead Remembered #1 – Review

In this flash back tale we’re introduced to a young Elizabeth that’s taken out into the field for the first time. They’re investigating a haunting from a dead “suspected witch” that’s tormenting a priest. It takes some strong convincing from Hellboy before the Professor will agree to take her and even then he has to pull at his heart strings to get him to take her. Elizabeth is actually less than thrilled to go on the trip and even less thrilled that she’s being taken to see a priest.
