After the insanity last episode with Mr. Mxyzptlk, things start off on a better note. It’s the morning after for Kara and Mon-El, and Mon wakes up in bed alone. He wanders through the apartment bemused as he sees that Supergirl has been busy, foiling several crimes. She flies in through the window, bearing flowers…
Last episode of Arrow ended with the surprise of Oliver’s cover-up about Detective Malone’s death being released to the media. This episode has its share of surprises along the way, with a big twist I didn’t remotely see coming. I think, overall, this may have been one of their better episodes. Quentin, Oliver, Thea, and…
Supergirl gets a visit from one of Superman’s more powerful and most annoying foes in “Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk.” Like several other classic Superman foes in this series, this seems to be the first appearance of the character in this world, since Supergirl is completely unfamiliar with him. Their best font of Superman knowledge, Jimmy…
Last time was “Attack on Gorilla City,” although there was no real attack. Now comes the sequel, “Attack on Central City,” in which Grodd returns the visit Barry and company paid last time. Although Grodd’s nowhere near as considerate a guest. Gorillas aren’t known for their etiquette, after all. In Central City, Valentines Day is…
Things get ugly on a few levels in Arrow’s “Sin Eater.” Some earlier villains return for an encore, some allies make some hard choices, and some of the help they were hoping for doesn’t quite happen. It’s an interesting mix of plotlines, and none of them go real well for Mayor Oliver Queen. The show…
Supergirl gets a slightly diminished role in her own show so they can focus on “The Luthors.” The show opens with a flashback from twenty years ago as Lena is brought home to the Luthor mansion by Lionel. Mother Lillian doesn’t approve, but then, she pretty much disapproves of everything. The cold interactions give us…
This week the Legends of Tomorrow bounce around the timeline pretty well in “Camelot/3000.” While the title describes their two destinations, it also refers to an obscure comic series from the 1980’s. In the maxiseries Camelot 3000, as the title suggests, Arthur and his Knights come back in the year 3000, in a mix of fantasy and sci fi. Nice job working that in, writers. The voiceover this week is done by Ray Palmer, who suffers in comparison to Heat Wave’s masterful job at the beginning of “Turncoat.”
One of the most divisive issues in America today, and for decades now, is gun control. Some people think all guns should be outlawed, others think anyone should be able to own anything without restriction, and there are others scattered along at all points of the spectrum in between. It’s a subject that’s next to…
One of Flash’s enemies that can range from scary to silly depending on how he’s written is Gorilla Grodd. Some people can’t get past the idea of a “talking monkey” (yes, I know, he’s an ape, not a monkey). On the other hand, take a gorilla that’s stronger than human normally, make him stronger, tougher,…
Oliver’s past starts to catch up with him on a few levels in “Bratva.” He’s in his office, swamped by paperwork, with Thea once again out of town. I’m starting to wonder if Willa Holland quit the show and they’re keeping it quiet. Oliver’s flirting with his girlfriend, reporter Susan Williams, gets interrupted when…
