Supergirl gets a visit from one of Superman’s more powerful and most annoying foes in “Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk.” Like several other classic Superman foes in this series, this seems to be the first appearance of the character in this world, since Supergirl is completely unfamiliar with him. Their best font of Superman knowledge, Jimmy…
Legion: Chapter 4 opens strangely, but that’s pretty much redundant with this series. This time, they open with what seems like a rehearsal for some 60’s themed tv show. The man who seems to be playing host seems to practicing his lines as he sets the stage for this week’s oddness, which gets even…
Last time was “Attack on Gorilla City,” although there was no real attack. Now comes the sequel, “Attack on Central City,” in which Grodd returns the visit Barry and company paid last time. Although Grodd’s nowhere near as considerate a guest. Gorillas aren’t known for their etiquette, after all. In Central City, Valentines Day is…
Things get ugly on a few levels in Arrow’s “Sin Eater.” Some earlier villains return for an encore, some allies make some hard choices, and some of the help they were hoping for doesn’t quite happen. It’s an interesting mix of plotlines, and none of them go real well for Mayor Oliver Queen. The show…
The strangeness that is Legion continues with “Chapter 3.” Given how odd the show is, I keep waiting for one of the episodes to randomly veer away from the Chapter title, but it hasn’t happened yet. Then again, the show has plenty of weirdness on its own, and probably doesn’t need to rely on episode…
Supergirl gets a slightly diminished role in her own show so they can focus on “The Luthors.” The show opens with a flashback from twenty years ago as Lena is brought home to the Luthor mansion by Lionel. Mother Lillian doesn’t approve, but then, she pretty much disapproves of everything. The cold interactions give us…
The Agents of SHIELD have a really hard time of things in “Self Control.” As we saw last episode, much of the team has been captured and replaced by LMD’s. The few real agents left at the top are going to have a hell of a job stopping the LMD’s from taking over and replacing…
This week the Legends of Tomorrow bounce around the timeline pretty well in “Camelot/3000.” While the title describes their two destinations, it also refers to an obscure comic series from the 1980’s. In the maxiseries Camelot 3000, as the title suggests, Arthur and his Knights come back in the year 3000, in a mix of fantasy and sci fi. Nice job working that in, writers. The voiceover this week is done by Ray Palmer, who suffers in comparison to Heat Wave’s masterful job at the beginning of “Turncoat.”
One of the most divisive issues in America today, and for decades now, is gun control. Some people think all guns should be outlawed, others think anyone should be able to own anything without restriction, and there are others scattered along at all points of the spectrum in between. It’s a subject that’s next to…
There’s a scientific principle that correlation doesn’t equal causation. In other words, just because there seems to be a connection between two things, it doesn’t mean that one makes the other happen. This is something that Watchdog Superior Ivanov clearly doesn’t have a handle on. He is convinced that all the aliens, big disasters,…
