The Gifted: got your siX
This week, The Gifted’s beginning flashback is four years ago in Phoenix. John is working with Pulse, trying to raise funds for relief from the big 7/15 disaster that, among other things, cost Agent Turner his daughter.

Supergirl’s “Damage” episode starts off with a slightly new voiceover. After they get through that, the Girl of Steel and her sister do a nice job of taking care of an attempted escape from a prison transport bus.
My review of the Justice League movie is going to have a few spoilers below. Be warned. Proceed at your own risk. All that good stuff.
The Inhumans are almost done with their first, and most likely only, season. The penultimate episode is “Havoc in the Hidden Land,” although a fair amount of the havoc happens in Hawaii, not Attilan. At least they resolve one of the things that’s been bothering me since the first episode.
Things went badly on the last episode of Gotham, and “A Day In The Narrows” gets even worse. At times, I don’t think they could much more than they have to isolate Jim Gordon. I’m all for being self-sufficient, but this is getting ridiculous.
Arrow’s current season continues with “Reversal.” It does bring together a few different threats, and sees the return of one of my least favorite characters from last season. Team Arrow has a lot to handle, and they need to get a better handle on things than they do. The episode starts off at some big…
I’ll be one of the first to admit that Legends of Tomorrow is an uneven show. They do some weird stuff and have had their share of issues with some episodes. But they are a generally entertaining bunch of lunatics, and when they embrace that, you get a really entertaining episode.
The writers on the various CW shows have been doing a good job of going through DC Comics archives to find random and often obscure characters to bring to live action, often for the first time.

While the writing on Supergirl can be uneven, sometimes they pull off something really good. They did that this week with “The Faithful.”
The Gifted has established itself as having an opening flashback from years ago before the main story. This time, they show us some background for Agent Turner and his wife. We already knew about their loss, but this drives it home in a vivid and ugly manner. I don’t like Turner, I find his racism…
