iZombie: Dirt Nap Time

While a lot of other shows do this, iZombie makes a bit of a departure from their usual format by staring “Dirt Nap Time” right where last episode last off. Major tells his desperate friends that he gave the dose of the cure he’d been carrying around to Natalie, the woman forced into undead prostitution…

Flash: Infantino St.

The penultimate episode of Flash for the season is here with “Infantino Street.” Carmine Infantino is a legendary DC Comics writer. Among his many credits is creating the Silver Age version of the Flash, Barry Allen. So it was a really nice nod to Barry’s own creator, although I’m not sure how he’d feel about…

Supergirl: Resist

  Supergirl is almost at her season finale, and it’s a really impressive build up. There’s a mounting threat, uneasy alliances, missing heroes, and revelations about characters we’ve seen before. They manage to pack a lot into “Resist.” Lena wakes up after the fight last episode, and doesn’t get good news. She’s on a Daxamite…

Gotham: Light The Wick

As the season finale approaches, things get really interesting, in several senses of the word, for the people of Gotham. “Heroes Rise: Light The Wick” was one of their better episodes in my opinion. They cleverly drew on their own history, bringing back both past characters and events to weave an advancement of the current…

Arrow: Honor Thy Father

Team Arrow is very much having a season where they just can’t win no matter what they do. They’ve finally proven to the world at large that Prometheus (still being called the Throwing Star Killer by the press, a much less cool name) is Adrian Chase. That should be a banner day, shouldn’t it? Well,…

Agents of SHIELD: The Return

Agents of SHIELD has almost gotten to the end of the fourth season. “The Return” signals the end of the story in The Framework, and picking up the pieces back in the real world. And they’re coming back to a hell of a mess on almost every front. The show starts with a slightly different…

iZombie: Some Like It Hot Mess

  Sometimes I think it might be fun to be around Liv as she goes through her various changes from the brains she’s eaten. Every once in a while, I’m very glad I’m not actually there. This week was one of the second type. The title should be a clue: “Some Like It Hot Mess.”…

Flash: Cause and Effect

  “Cause and Effect” begins where “I Know Who You Are” stopped. The Flash confronts Savitar, who has been revealed as a future, evil, scarred Barry Allen. They talk about Savitar’s origin, which, to no great surprise, revolves around Iris’ death. Savitar is also a time remnant, so he has the additional strain of not…

Supergirl: City of Lost Children

Supergirl has a somewhat odd title this week. “City of Lost Children” sounds nice and dramatic, but there’s only one child in the episode. I suppose I can sort of see a way to expand that to a second one, but it’s a stretch. Maybe they were running low on good titles. The show opens…

Iron Fist: Black Tiger Steals Heart

  Events get interesting as they start coming towards the end of Iron Fist’s first season. “Black Tiger Steals Heart” has a lot of surprises and revelations. Danny hasn’t been the most likable character through a lot of this season, but by the end of this, I do feel a bit sorry for him. And…
