As the season goes on, Arrow is getting a lot darker. We’ve seen the lengths Prometheus is willing to go to in order to get his revenge, and there’s been some ugly stuff. Oliver, our notional hero, is drifting along down the dark side himself. We see a lot of this in Kapiushon, the most…
The episode starts off in 1918 France. It’s an interesting choice, with the Wonder Woman movie coming up and so much of that appearing to be set in the same era. Nate, Sara, and Amaya are dressed in appropriate clothes for the time, and tracking blood with the assembled Spear of Destiny. Then, with…
Flash and Supergirl team up again, although in a unique way this time out. It’s the much-hyped musical episode as the Fastest Man Alive, the Girl of Steel, and various guests get ready for, “Duet.” The antagonist this time around is the Music Meister, whose only other appearance wasn’t in the comics at all, but…
Last episode, we saw hints of a major bump in the road for Kara and Mon-El. This time, that kicks in to high gear. There’s also trouble in paradise for Winn and Lyra. It’s not a great episode for couples, but then, that’s probably why they called it “Star-Crossed.” Things start off going fairly well,…
The writers on Arrow have done a great job of letting comic book fans mislead themselves at the series has gone on. Several characters with familiar names from the comics have shown up, and turned out to not be much like the originals at all. Kate Spenser, the first DA in Star City to get…
The Legends of Tomorrow are going after the last piece of the Spear of Destiny. Hank Heywood, AKA Commander Steel is guarding it, and found a great way to hide it. A big clue as to where is the title of the episode, “Moonshot.” It’s time for LEGENDS……IN……SPACE. Mick does the voiceover again, although they…
Last week, Wally fell for Savitar’s machinations and ended up trapped. Now, Barry and everyone else is determined to save him. The only way to rescue Wally and hopefully get more information on how to beat Savitar is to go, “Into The Speed Force.” The team is gathered at STAR Labs, trying to figure out…
After dealing with Grodd the last two episodes, the STAR Labs team have a new problem to face. The big bad of the season is finally back, and making life hell for our heroes. Now, they have to face “The Wrath of Savitar.” Preparing for the upcoming showdown with their fast foe, the speedsters…
Relatively recently, Arrow dipped into politics in “Spectre of the Gun.” Deliberately or not, Supergirl seems to following suit on the immigration front in “Exodus.” If they didn’t write this with some of the current issues regarding deportation, refugees, and immigration in mind, it’s a really striking series of coincidences. The show opens with a…
The Legends have been making a lot of questionable decisions the last several episodes. With that many bad choices behind them, it’s no real surprise they end up in the “Land of the Lost.” With the writers already having proven their fondness for nostalgia, I suspect the Sid and Marty Kroft tv show that ran…
