This coming Monday night 7:30EST, our boys of summer, Phineas and Ferb bring us another 'special' episode full of Easter eggs for grown up fans of the cult TV show, LOST! 

David Lindelof, the mastermind behind LOST, is a huge fan of the show and wrote an episode with P&F's Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh that is chock full of LOST send-ups (and maybe some guest voices!)

Also, it may be noted, that one the main mysteries surrounds the other 'Agent P', Peter Panda! PANDA! Never say no to PANDA!!! (Inside joke, sorry.) 

According to Disney's Blog, "This episode has time travel, strange happenings, and polar bears...[and a] long line of LOST plot twists. It is definitely one episode Phineas and Ferb fans and LOST fans will watch over and over again to catch all the details."

With the Star Wars episode, this LOST ep. and the upcoming Halloween special featuring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, I will be sure to keep my nerd radar at the ready to catch all the Easter Eggs in the months to come!

Of course, the real star of this episode is Selina Kyle, aka “Cat.”  I had thought she was closer to 16 than 13, but whatever.  She may not have her leather catsuit yet, but her feline mannerisms are definitely on display as she escapes the horrible people who are abducting street kids in this episode - with nefarious intent, no doubt, though what they intend to do with the abductees is never explicitly stated.  Lili Taylor and Frank Whaley, two of my favorite character actors, are exquisitely creepy as they terrify the teens - up until Gordon and his partner come to the rescue.

Gordon confronts everyone in this episode – his boss, his partner, his fiancée, and even the mayor - and as Fish likes to point out, he’s a man of little foreplay.  I would wonder where all this sometimes bizarrely expressed integrity will get him, but we all know the answer to that, don’t we?

Watch it down to the very last second...

A few weeks ago we featured some custom vinyl figures from EvilCorp. Well, they are at is again and the new Ash is so awesome, we had to share! Alas, they are still not for sale...

And a few more for your viewing pleasure... see the whole collection on their blog.

****Spoilers Below*****

So flashback, 1945, Peggy Carter and the Howling Commandos (or at least 2 of them) bust up the "last" of the Hydra outposts and box up a dangerous metal artifact and label it 084 - the FIRST 084 (object or person of unknown origin.) This also gives us a taste of the team in action for the Peggy Cater mini-series coming this winter. I love a woman that takes charge and kicks ass - I couldn't be happier!

After the events of The Winter Soldier, SHIELD is still enemy #1 along side HYDRA and is being hunted by General Talbot (Heroes alum, Adrian Pasdar) and the US Government.

Besides a new, battle-ready Skye, the ever-awesome Melinda May, and the return of Agent Tripplet (yeah!), we meet a bunch of new 'Agents' in an undercover sting that goes wrong. And before you can say, "hey, who the hell is this guy?" - there is a new heavy hitter in town and he's bullet proof...

The team 'goes dark' and returns to the Playground. As an audience we are bombarded with the cast of new characters. Tons of, "oh, who is that?" "who is that?" "Lucy Lawless is so cool!" "Hey, where's Fitz and Simmons?"

Oh. Fitzsimmons. I. can't. even. I just can't.

Right out of the gate, we go from the final shot of last season of Ichabod in the casket, to one year in the future. Abbie and Ichabod are celebrating his 251st birthday and lamenting the deaths of Jenny and Katrina.

Wait... What?!

Before we can even question what we missed, Abbie gets a call, and it's lock and load into a face-off with the headless horseman while trying to retrieve Benjamin Franklin's notes from some professor. They fight together like a well oiled machine, blessed bullets, special crossbow bolts... BANG! KICK ASS!

They recover Franklin's notes, and thanks to the fact that Ichabod was his apprentice (of course he was...) they discover that the famous key on the kite in the lightning storm wasn't about electricity, but his attempt to destroy the key to Purgatory! This, of course will allow anyone out of Purgatory without a soul exchange (which is how Abbie was trapped there to let Katrina out last season.)

Too bad we didn't have this a year ago... Whelp, better make sure Molloch doesn't get the key... Hey, I know - let's see if Henry (the Horseman of War and Ichabod's son) can tell us anything. (WHAT!) 

Turns out he was somehow captured and is being held in the devil's trap room. Mr. Sin Eater gets nothing from the pages, but Abbie remembers Jenny found a sketchbook of Franklin's a few years ago...

Wait... are we getting a flashback? What in Purgatory happened over the last year!!

Oh, yeah - a year hasn't gone by. Ichabod's still in the box. Abbie is still in Purgatory - and now Henry/Jeremy/Horseman of War/Sin Eater knows how to find the key to unleash Moloch and his undead army.

And that is just the first 15 minutes of the show.

And Jenny isn't dead, she's captured and being tortured by Henry and his minions. 
And Katrina isn't dead, she is being wined-and-dined by the Headless Horseman. (Ew!)

Forever?  What is this show?  

Hmmm, it's a smart, hot British man who solves crimes...

And there are mysteries because he has lived for hundreds of years...

And did I mention he's a doctor?

Where have I seen this before?  In my dreams.  My sexy sexy dreams...

How about a teenage Catwoman watching the scene from above, perched in a fire escape after pickpocketing her way through Gotham’s night life?

Cut to the police station – a heroic James Gordon, newly minted detective, and his partner, the brusque, brutish Harvey Bullock, are in the midst of an argument about how to deal with an out-of-control suspect who steals a cop’s gun when they are ordered to the Wayne murder scene.  And so the tale begins…

The characters are, of course, what brings us all to Gotham - and what a motley crew they are!

Her flawed heroes keep it interesting, and it is an excellent series for filler when you are waiting for the next big book release.

The first book in the Cal Leandros series is Nightlife, if you are interested.
