“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 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…
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…
The current season, or sub-season, or whatever you call it, continues for Gotham with, “Heroes Rise: The Primal Riddle.” With shows taking so many random breaks, I’m really not sure how to refer to these sections of the season, especially when they sub-title them like both Gotham and Agents of SHIELD are doing. At any…
Last episode ended quite literally with a bang as Prometheus staged an attack on the Lair. Oliver and Felicity are trapped, alone, with the lights dimmed. Things get worse as they determine that at least part of the attack was an EMP. Not only do they not have power or communications, but you remember that…
Things start off a bit differently this week on iZombie. We see Major on an op with the Fillmore-Graves mercs. There’s a lot of good action, and Major has definitely picked up some new tricks while he’s been working with them. The mission is a success with minimal losses. After all, zombies only go…
In a very dramatic nighttime scene, the Flash confronts Savitar. Pointing his finger at the hulking metal shape, Flash gives us this week’s title as he proclaims, “I Know Who You Are.” Then, of course, we get the narrative trick that’s been working its way to same level of cliche as evil twins and lovers…
I have not really enjoyed the concept of spending so much time in the Framework this season. I got even less happy with it when they killed off Jeff Mace, the Patriot. He was really growing on me. But, the title for this week gave me some hope: “Farewell, Cruel World!” The Framework is certainly…
Things get particularly difficult for Supergirl and her friends in “Alex.” While the writers manage to keep things tense throughout, they also fall back on a few crutches that don’t ring true (more on that shortly). Unusually for the show, they didn’t introduce any new aliens, or major characters with ties to the DC Comics…
I try to write my reviews to avoid spoilers. Sometimes, that isn’t possible. The ninth episode of Iron Fist, “The Mistress of All Agonies,” is one of those times. So beware, I start off with spoilers and have more of them throughout. I just don’t see how to do this episode without them. I had…
