Gather round KlicKNettars, I’m about to tell you what’s shaking this week. Hollywood has completely shut down as there is not one, but two labor strikes. The first one as we all know is the with Writers’ Guild of America, and the second one is held by the SAG-AFTRA. Both the writers and actors who work everyday to write and perform in all the Movies and TV Shows we watch everyday are not working right now. The news broke out the the studios under the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers wish to drag this out until October hoping that the WGA will "start losing their apartments and losing their houses." This allegation is out right disgusting, fueling a fire under the writers and actors to refuse to negotiate until they treated with the proper respect. Though as I predicted, this will carry out into the summer and now it's looking like it won't until early or mid fall. While we monitor the double strikes, KlicKNettars can take a look at this week's 5-Day Rounder with these two strikes making the headlines and then some.
We usually don’t upload a brand new episode of FakeTV Box with Kwame Alexander until Monday, but a funny thing happened this week. It too us about three days to do a new episode and it seemed pretty easy since it’s a reaction to the official final trailer of DC’s Blue Beetle. See it all for yourself in what has to be the biggest Highlight of the Week.
Our Inside Scoop this week is once again about Marvel Studios’ Secret Invasion. They say the 4th episode of every Marvel Studios show on Disney+ is always the best, and they are right. WARNING: This piece may contain spoilers, so if you haven't seen Secret Invasion Episode 4 yet, stop reading now. If you would like to continue at your risk, be my guest.
The show in some people's opinion is picking up both pace and quality, Nick Fury continues to become less and less like his old self. He can't figure out of his wife, Priscilla is working for Gravik. On the bright, G'iah is still alive, she took on the Super Skrull treatment before she left New Skrullos and moments after Gravik, shot her dead, she healed up thanks to her new Extremis abilities, one of many she probably has now. Later on she meets up with her father Talos who explains to her that he is planning to ask US President Ritson to help the Skrulls after they successfully stop the rebels, which disappoints G'iah who was hoping for a stronger plan to find them a new home.
Elsewhere, we're at St James Church where Priscilla meets with Rhodey - who we finally know is a Skrull at long last - and he instructs her to kill Fury. They are both unaware that Fury is listening in on their conversation through a earpiece, for a while I thought that Priscilla did know what Fury was doing. She asks Rhodey about Fury getting fired and "Rhodey" tells her that he fired him himself. She questions how that figures into Gravik's plan, but that's information she does not get. Pagon talks to Gravik about G'iah while they are preparing for another attack, but Gravik tells him that she's already taken care. Their only concerns at this point is to successfully attack a high-profile American target disguised as Russian troops, which should finally kick off the war that Gravik's been planning for a long time.
Fury later confronts Priscilla over her conversation with the Skrull pretending to be Rhodey, but they make amends after she reveals that she took an oath to her human counterpart to never harm her lover. I must confess that that scene where they're sitting down face-to-face, across one another at both end of the table and hold guns in their hands, was very intense. Fury comes face to face next with Skrull Rhodey who just came out of the shower in a hotel suite. They share a drink and Fury tells Rhodey that there's a Skrull spy close to the US President, asking to have his job back. But Skrull Rhodey in turn shows Fury a video of Gravik, as Fury, killing Maria Hill, blackmailing him. Rhodey then promises to make sure the video doesn't get out, so long as Fury stops spreading these "wild conspiracies." That's cold, but warmer than jail you must admit.
We later learn that Fury put a liquid tracker in Skrull Rhodey's drink, and then he's later joined by Talos in following Skrull Rhodey to an airstrip where President Ritson has just landed for a bilateral summit with Russia. There's a moment of levity when Ritson is a little suspicious of Rhodey, but once they're on the road, it doesn't take long before the convoy comes under attack by Gravik and company. Fury and Talos extract an unconscious Ritson from the gun battle between Gravik's men and the US Secret Invasion, but Talos is wounded in the process and one of the British Troopers who came to help Ritson finds out that he's a Skrull.
Fury tells this specific soldier that Talos is on their side, so Fury takes the President to his car, and the soldier picks up Talos. However, the soldier turns out to be Gravik who stabs Talos in front of Fury, he then gets away and Fury has no choice but to escape with Ritson, once again leaving behind the corpse of a fallen ally. It looks like Fury's back is against the wall and he's completely stuck in the corner with no way through. The last two episodes of Secret Invasion will be the pivotal of all in the limited series. Only question is, how will it end?
