After last week’s lighthearted “Duet,” we’re back into seriousness and moral quandaries. The race to save Iris tempts a few of the characters to do the wrong things. A supporting character returns, as does a villain, and we meet another of Flash’s classic comic foes in the appropriately titled, “Abra Kadabra.” In the comics,…
Supergirl’s life keeps getting complicated in “Distant Sun.” One thing I noticed that I hadn’t caught last episode is that her intro/voiceover is wrong now. She’s not working at CatCo. Either there’s something coming down the pike about that, or the show runners are being lazy. Or both, I suppose. The episode starts off…
Legion’s short season continues along its psychedelic way in the not creatively-named “Chapter 7.” Most of the cast are still trapped in the illusionary version of the Clockworks Institute, presided over by Lennie. Lennie is playing a very different version of doctor in this world, and most of them would rather not be playing. Just…
The first episode didn’t end in a good place for Danny Rand. He was betrayed by someone he thought was a friend, drugged, and ended up in a mental hospital. Well, at least that makes some of my bad days look a lot better by comparison. “Shadow Hawk Takes Flight” continues Danny’s story, with a…
As the season goes on, Arrow is getting a lot darker. We’ve seen the lengths Prometheus is willing to go to in order to get his revenge, and there’s been some ugly stuff. Oliver, our notional hero, is drifting along down the dark side himself. We see a lot of this in Kapiushon, the most…
The episode starts off in 1918 France. It’s an interesting choice, with the Wonder Woman movie coming up and so much of that appearing to be set in the same era. Nate, Sara, and Amaya are dressed in appropriate clothes for the time, and tracking blood with the assembled Spear of Destiny. Then, with…
Flash and Supergirl team up again, although in a unique way this time out. It’s the much-hyped musical episode as the Fastest Man Alive, the Girl of Steel, and various guests get ready for, “Duet.” The antagonist this time around is the Music Meister, whose only other appearance wasn’t in the comics at all, but…
Last episode, we saw hints of a major bump in the road for Kara and Mon-El. This time, that kicks in to high gear. There’s also trouble in paradise for Winn and Lyra. It’s not a great episode for couples, but then, that’s probably why they called it “Star-Crossed.” Things start off going fairly well,…
Last episode ended with the wrenching transition from the real world to what appears to be a recreation of the Clockworks Institute, with a few differences. Whether this is a mental construct like David and Syd’s “white room” or whether David restructured reality with his immense power isn’t wholly clear (like a lot of this…
The writers on Arrow have done a great job of letting comic book fans mislead themselves at the series has gone on. Several characters with familiar names from the comics have shown up, and turned out to not be much like the originals at all. Kate Spenser, the first DA in Star City to get…
