Joining the other shows, the Legends of Tomorrow return from their holiday break. The show opens by jumping back to the accident that opened the season. Rip runs around a badly damaged Waverider after having time-scattered the other Legends. He clearly has a desperate idea, and he even shuts Gideon down to do it,…
Flash is the next of the hero shows back from the winter hiatus. The voiceover has changed, now focusing on the vision Barry had of the near future when Savitar kills Iris. In addition to giving Barry and company something new to worry about, it gives us the title, “Borrowing Problems From the Future.”…
Back from winter break, Supergirl starts off with “Supergirl Lives!” I’m not sure why they called it that. Was this in doubt? Did someone think she was dead? Was the break that long? There wasn’t anything about her living or dying in this one. The show opens with Supergirl chasing a fleeing van which proves…
Things continue to get strange in Gotham, as seen on “Mad City: Smile Like You Mean It.” The episode draws on several different elements from various points in the Joker’s career, presumably to convince us that this Jerome is supposed to eventually be the Joker. His cult is a lot like the Jokerz gang as…

After the government agents came back last week, it’s time for the city workers. Gotham returns from winter break with “Ghosts,” continuing their “Mad City” season. I’m really not wild about shows naming their seasons or even halves, as Agents of SHIELD is presently doing, but maybe that’s just me. At any rate, things are…

Agents of SHIELD is the first of the comic book hero shows back from the winter/holiday break. I suppose that makes sense. All the other heroes work for themselves, and SHIELD works for the government, so they can’t take the longer vacation. “Broken Promises” follows up on a few elements of the cliffhangers from last…
Luke Cage reaches the penultimate episode with “Soliloquy of Chaos,” which is one of their more poetic titles.
