Legion is the latest in the current flood of super-powered television shows. In the comics, the character is the son of Charles Xavier, best known as Professor X, leader of the X-Men. Legion, whose real name is David Charles Haller, is a vastly powerful mutant, with a unique twist. In the comics, at least, he…
In “Second Chances,” Arrow and his team go out in search of someone to be the new Black Canary. The new candidate turns out to be a cop called Tina, who gets caught while undercover. All this happens on a very important night in Central City three years ago, and as the hostage drama plays…
I like that on the opening of Legends of Tomorrow, they’ve been moving around who does the introductory voice-over. That makes sense with a team show. What really entertained me with this one is they had Damian Darhk do it. He’s not only one of the bad guys, but actor Neal McDonough’s delivery is…
Things just keep getting stranger for the Agents of SHIELD in “Hot Potato Soup.” Then again, things always get strange when the Agents Koenig are involved. Patton Oswalt does a great job as usual, while the rest of the team has to try and keep up with the problems of far too many people…
Netflix’s Luke Cage wraps up season one with “Now You Know My Steez.” This is another one that I had no idea at all what it meant, so I went a-researching. According to what I could find, “steez” is “style with ease.” It’s a good episode, but no one has what I’d call an…
I’m not quite sure what Fox is doing with their shows. Several of them came back from winter break just a few weeks ago, but now seem to be going on another long hiatus. Gotham is among them. I’m not sure if “Mad City: The Gentle Art of Making Enemies” is a season finale, or…
Arrow’s episode “Who Are You?” is well-named. There are a few identity issues throughout the show, the most obvious revolving around the apparent return of Laurel. Those Lance sisters just keep coming back from the dead. Unfortunately, a few picky details about the shared world of the increasingly inter-connected CW hero shows break down…
“Wake Up” is one of the more unnerving episodes of Agents of SHIELD. I still don’t know if it’s coincidence that they are delving in to this LMD storyline just after HBO’s Westworld series finished its first season, but it’s an interesting coincidence, and the two have a lot of parallels. This episode jumps…
As March gets closer, Netflix has dropped a new trailer for the last Defender (unless rumors about the Punisher turn out to be true). This one gives us a better look at Iron Fist Danny Rand, and his return to New York. It looks fantastic. I admit I’m biased, as Iron Fist is my favorite…
Joining the other shows, the Legends of Tomorrow return from their holiday break. The show opens by jumping back to the accident that opened the season. Rip runs around a badly damaged Waverider after having time-scattered the other Legends. He clearly has a desperate idea, and he even shuts Gideon down to do it,…
