Supergirl: Red Faced

Sometimes, for whatever reason, writers on a series seem to get an idea that really should have had a build up but it doesn’t happen. That’s the case with this week’s Supergirl, “Red Faced.” A recurring theme of the episode is Supergirl/Kara having some serious anger issues that have come out of nowhere. Some hints of it would have made this work a lot better, but up until now, the only negativity we’ve seen from Kara has been her not being happy about the James Olsen/Lucy Lane relationship.

Gotham: The Son of Gotham

We’re heading for the mid-season break quickly on “The Son of Gotham.” The episode opens with a woman being attacked on the street, and her attacker suddenly getting grabbed up. Years later, when Batman brings in the era of the vigilante in Gotham, that’s not so unusual, but in this time frame, it’s not common.

Heroes Reborn: 11:53 to Odessa

“11:53 to Odessa” is the mid-season finale of Heroes Reborn. I’m not sure why they are calling it that, since this is episode ten out of thirteen, but whatever works for them, I guess. There’s a lot going on in different times and places, that’s for sure.

Agents of SHEILD: Many Heads, One Tale

“Many Heads, One Tale” is an eventful episode for the Agents of SHIELD, current and former. Ward, continuing his revamp Hydra/destroy SHIELD crusade, has a meeting with Gideon Malick.

Flash: Gorilla Warfare

After last episode’s brutal fight with Zoom, Barry is wounded and powerless, at least for the most part. His exceptionally rapid healing seems to still be ticking along fine, as he’s gone from not being able to feel his legs to hobbling around on a cane. But with Central City’s speedster out of action, and Firestorm out of town for the foreseeable future, this isn’t a good time for a new crisis. Of course, with a title like “Gorilla Warfare,” you know what’s coming.

Gotham: A Bitter Pill to Swallow

After last week’s very eventful episode, repercussions keep echoing throughout Gotham. “A Bitter Pill to Swallow” has lot of follow up and chaos as the players realign themselves. It’s also, on some levels, one of the more disturbing episodes they’ve done, and that says something on this show.

Supergirl: Livewire

Kryptonian invulnerability is great and all, but has its limits. One of the things we see this episode is that it provides no protection at all against the dreaded family Thanksgiving stress. Even superheroes are vulnerable to holiday gatherings.

Who’s Who on Jessica Jones

Hopefully, you’re enjoying Jessica Jones on Netflix as much as we are! Here’s a quick “Who’s Who” on Marvel’s latest foray into television.

Daredevil Episode 13: Daredevil

Season one of Daredevil ends with an episode named for the main character. “Daredevil” wraps up a lot of loose ends, and gives the cast of characters some measure of hope. From the beginning, Daredevil was supposed to return in “The Defenders,” and has also been confirmed for a second season with more Marvel characters appearing in it.

Heroes Reborn: Sundae, Bloody Sundae

With a bad pun of a title, Heroes Reborn continues with “Sundae, Bloody Sundae.” Considering Emily, Tommy’s girlfriend, works at an ice cream shop, that bodes ill on a few levels. The cast are shown doing various things under another voice-over from Mohinder. It’s a good set up for the action of the show.
