In a rare two-parter, iZombie continues last episode’s story with “Brainless in Seattle, Part 2.” It starts with a nasty scene in The Scratching Post, with a zombie getting beaten on by some guys from Fillmore-Graves. The F-G crew is looking worse and worse as this season goes on.
Among the many things I enjoy about the Legends of Tomorrow is the sense of humor and pop culture references. They have fun with that in their titles from time to time, and did for this one. “Necromancing The Stone,” is a call back to the Michael Douglas/Kathleen Turner action comedy, Romancing the Stone.
The Agents of SHIELD open with a scene that, at first, seems to have little to do with anything going on right now.
Gotham’s A Dark Knight season continues with “Reunion.” It’s one of their simpler titles and it works on a few levels.
Superman was the first comic book superhero. Without him, the entire industry doesn’t exist. He is the start, the root, of all the comics, novels, games, tv shows, and movies.
The Black Lightning writers continue their predilection for odd titles with “The Book of Revelations.” I guess they’re going for a Biblical theme, which is a bit odd as religion is one thing they’ve largely stayed away from, barring Lawanda’s funeral.
A long-running tradition in comics is screwing with the hero’s powers. That comes up in this episode, which you can probably tell from the title. “Run, Iris, Run” is another take on this convention, and a switch from the oft repeated instruction to Barry.
Taking a break from their usual (highly enjoyable) formula, Liv and her merry band of crimefighters embark on a rare two part story in “Brainless in Seattle, Part One.” The title is, of course, a play on the romantic movie Sleepless in Seattle, but Brainless works well when Liv comes under the sway of a…
The Legends of Tomorrow manage to throw me off once again with their titles. “Amazing Grace,” had me wondering if were finally going to see some of the New Gods.
The last episode of Agents of SHIELD ended with a bang, literally. Now, they’re trying to pick up the pieces in “The Real Deal,” as they try and see how much damage has been done by the major blast.
