Cloak and Dagger: Blue Note

Cloak and Dagger are almost done with their second season. There are some seriously not good developments in the future, and a fair amount of backstory on two of the villains from eight years ago forward.

iZombie: dot zom

This episode of iZombie manages to combine the usual murder of the week while moving several of the subplots forward. The rabidly anti-zombie forces in New Seattle are deep-rooted and more pervasive than I thought, and are starting to surprise Liv and friends.

Legends of Tomorrow: Hey, World!

It’s been a wild ride for the Legends of Tomorrow’s 4th season. There have been magical creatures, maimings, possession, and musical numbers. Now, with “Ner-Ray” posed to take over Hell and become a lot more powerful, the team needs to find a way to wrap everything up, stop Neron, and free Ray.

Spider-Man: Far From Home

One of the things I love about the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the interconnectedness of it all. While you can watch each movie on its own (except for probably Infinity War and Endgame), it’s so much richer as a story and experience if you follow them all.

Iron Fist: Heart of the Dragon

Iron Fist hits the halfway point of the season with “Heart of the Dragon.” Again borrowing titles, this is from a comic back in 1974 which was Iron Fist’s second appearance. It shows the aftermath of last episode’s ritual, and our hero has a really bad day.

Supergirl: Quest for Peace

The writers on Supergirl made a really bold choice for the finale. Actually, they make several, but the one I’m talking about at the moment is the title.

Agents of SHIELD: Window of Opportunity

The Agents of SHIELD had their new season start off with a bang. We learned about some new hopes, saw an ongoing mission arguably out of SHIELD’s jurisdiction, and saw a new threat with a familiar face.

It gets worse for Marvel/Netflix

Several years ago, Marvel paired with Netflix for some really great shows.

Cloak and Dagger: Two Player

Cloak and Dagger are almost through with their second season (and no word as yet on a third as of this writing). The show is getting a bit more stylistic as it goes, with some big analogies to what the characters are going through. Usually, that kind of thing bothers me, but I have to admit, they’re pulling it off really well (and not getting anywhere near as surreally hard to follow as Fox’s Legion).

Iron Fist: Target Iron Fist

The fourth episode of Iron Fist’s second season is “Target: Iron Fist,” originally used for Danny’s own comic back in 1977 (Issue 13). The episode uses a trope I’m getting really sick of: a dramatic opening scene and then rewinding to see how we got there.
