Consume All Media! Hop Harrigan: "Chapter Thirteen: No Escape"

Joe Heath is a big fan of comic books and watching things in order. So they made this spreadsheet containing every serial, short, film, television episode, commercial, motion comic, and web series based on a comic book. Now they're watching them all. Previously, Joe watched the twelfth chapter of Hop Harrigan. This time, they continue with the thirteenth.

Hop Harrigan: “Chapter Thirteen: No Escape” - 19:04 (Available on Dailymotion)

I’m starting to feel there’s no escape from this serial...

So… Jackie… doesn’t hit the mountain? I clearly saw the plane hit the mountain and spin out. But I guess it didn’t now? This is the most cheated I’ve ever felt at one of these cliffhangers.

From this point on, the video became unwatchable due to what I assume was an uploading error. However the audio was fine. There’s nowhere else to watch it, so I just watched this glitchy mess.

I honestly don’t think I missed much. This might even be preferable. (It’s not.)

From what I could gather, Jackie calls Hop on the radio and Hop helps him land. This takes way longer than it should have.

Jackie lands the plane and Tank somehow sees this as proof that books are stupid. Sure, Hop had to help him land, but Jackie STILL LANDED THE PLANE.

Back at his lab, Tobor thinks Ballard is behind the stealing of his plane. So he shoots Ballard. Now we’ll never know what Ballard’s deal was! (Spoilers: We will learn what his deal is and it’s stupid.)

Meanwhile, Hop starts to think that Craven is up to no good, so Hop and Tank follow him to what I’m assuming is a henchmen hideout. A fight breaks out that I’m sure sounds more exciting than it actually is.

In the end, someone shoots at Hop. Now that I wish I could have seen.

Should you watch it, though? No. Not only is the file corrupted, but it sounds dreadfully boring. There’s at least 10 minutes of Jackie landing the plane and a decent chunk of the end is Hop and Tank just sneaking around.

Tune in next time for Hop Harrigan: "Chapter Fourteen: The Chute That Failed" (Available on Dailymotion.)
