iZombie: Zombie Knows Best

  The new season continues, with sub-plots building and weird brain side-effects in full swing, in “Zombie Knows Best.” Unlike a lot of their usual episodes, this one has a lot of flashbacks in it, and focuses a lot more on Clive. I thought it worked well, and that’s even with me being sick of…

Agents of SHIELD: What If…

After a several week long break, the Agents of SHIELD return with “What If…” which is their foray into Dr. Radcliffe’s virtual reality known as The Framework. Most of the team has been captured and plugged in to the device, and now Daisy and Simmons are going in to try and find and free them.…

Iron Fist: Eight Diagram Dragon Palm

Netflix’s Iron Fist continues with “Eight Diagram Dragon Palm,” the fourth episode of Danny Rand’s adventures in New York. Last time, they ended with him plunging off the side of a skyscraper to his potential doom. He manages to catch himself on a protruding light after falling not terribly far. He breathes out a murmured,…

iZombie: Heaven Just Got A Little Bit Smoother

After a way too long break, iZombie finally returns. I don’t generally do recaps, but this has been such a long gap, I’ll make a partial exception. Among the many surprising events at the end of last season were: Clive learned about zombies; the Max Rager party ended in a massive zombie outbreak; Liv had…

Iron Fist: Rolling Thunder Cannon Punch

  Netflix’s Iron Fist continues the story of Danny’s return to New York. The episode titles all sound like various martial arts techniques you’d hear shouted out during some types of kung fu movies. This time around, it’s “Rolling Thunder Cannon Punch,” which doesn’t seem to relate to anything that happens this episode, or not…

Legends of Tomorrow: Aruba

  Legends of Tomorrow ends its second season with a really chaotic episode that has the pleasant-sounding title of “Aruba.” Well, taking a tropical vacation is a lovely idea, but it probably wouldn’t make for a very interesting episode. What we get instead is the climactic battle between the Legends and the Legion of Doom.…

Legion: Chapter 8

The very surreal Legion comes to the end of the first season with Chapter 8. I kept expecting the chapter names to change to something else halfway through the season, considering how odd the rest of the show is, but that never happened. But the show remained just as odd up to the finale. For…

Defenders Mini-Trailer

Now that Iron Fist has finally come out, Netflix is moving forward with the big team up. The Defenders will feature all four heroes: Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, much of their supporting casts, and there are rumors about the Punisher popping up. They have finally given us a release date: August…

Arrow: Disbanded

  Last episode, Oliver was battered and beaten by Prometheus. Now, he’s still looking horrible, and is sticking by his pronouncement that the team is done. I think that’s horribly unfair of Oliver. Even if he’s done as a hero, I question why he gets to decide that for everyone else. Then again, he’s not…

Legends of Tomorrow: Doomworld

Last time, the bad guys won in an ugly, decisive way. The Legion of Doom got the Spear of Destiny, and they used it. How bad is it? Well, Eobard Thawne, the Reverse Flash, is doing the opening voiceover now, which can’t be a good sign. As he says at the end, “It’s a brave…
