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. This week, they use one that actually did start off as a supporting character for the Flash before going on to join the Justice League.
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…
The Inhumans meander along through their season with, “The Gentleman’s Name is Gorgon.” I hate to say it, but I haven’t been really impressed with their show, as much as I like the comic book versions of the characters. And, of the weak season, this might be my least favorite episode so far.
In the midst of Penguin’s crime licensing scheme, and Riddler skulking around the shadows with Grundy, Gotham gets a new problem. Yet another of Batman’s rogues turns up a good bit before Bruce puts on the mask
Arrow continues their very different season six with “Next of Kin.”
Last episode, lurking bad guy The Thinker hinted there were more new metas for Team Flash to deal with. That’s a big part of this episode, as the team faces a new version of a minor DC Comics character.
Now that they’ve gotten the season going, we’re back to the voice-over intros for the Legends of Tomorrow. Sara is doing it this week, and talks about how they broke time. She’s a bit sarcastic, if accurate, and it’s an amusing lead-in for the show.
I read that this season of Supergirl is going to be focused on relationships. That seems to be the case in “Far From The Tree,” which tells the parallel stories of two different father/adult child dynamics.
