Black Lightning begins his next “book” as they seem to be dividing up the season, with “The Book of Blood: Chapter One: Requiem.” There are a few spoilers here for the episode, but I don’t see a good way around them. So, be warned.
Flash adds to his Rogues Gallery in this episode, as we see a new use for the phrase, “All Doll’d Up.”
Things continue to get worse for pretty much everyone on The Gifted, as we see what it means to have “no Mercy.” The only things staying consistent this season are that the Inner Circle seem to be virtually unstoppable, and that the Mutant Underground keeps suffering losses and falling apart.
The silliness continues for the Legends of Tomorrow with “Wet Hot American Bummer.” The show opens with what seems like the classic horror movie set up, as a young couple start making out on a blanket in the woods near a lake.
The saga of Oliver is in prison and everyone else fails to capture Diaz continues with “The Demon.”
One of the great things about science fiction is that you can use it to illustrate social issues without being preachy about it. If you do it right, anyway. Supergirl, for most of this season, feels like they’re clubbing us over the head with the idea.
Things keep getting worse for The Gifted, as we see in “the iMprint.”
The Legends of Tomorrow continue their brand of entertaining insanity when they have to deal with a “Dancing Queen.”
The former Team Arrow keeps trying to find their way in the new world they are stuck with, as Oliver completes part of his goal and finally gets to “Level Two.”
The DEO and their allies are dealing with the ramifications of last episode as they deal with more events in “Ahimsa.” Supergirl is out cold and in her new armor as the others look on worriedly.
The overly long titles continue in season two of Black Lightning, with “The Book of Consequences: Chapter Four: Translucent Freak.”
Flash and company have to deal with a new kind of meta who is, in some ways, a perfect embodiment of the modern age. They have a lot to deal with in “News Flash.”
