We saw how poorly the coup attempt went in “Civil War.” Now we see the aftermath as things spiral out of control in “Transformation.” If they keep this up, Krypton won’t last long enough to get to Jor-El, let alone the far more famous Kal-El, Last Son of Krypton.
The weirdness that’s part of the package continues in Legion’s next episode, “Chapter 13.” I’m still sort of surprised that a show that seems to pride itself on being surreal has such normal episode titles. Maybe they needed a token bit of sanity to give their writers a break.
Jessica Jones’ “AKA Sole Survivor” starts off cleaning up from last episode, in a typically unique Jessica way. She and Trish pay a visit to a summer vacation spot from Jessica’s childhood, but not exactly for sentimental reasons.
“Therefore She Is” shows us a good bit about Marlize, the Mechanic, Thinker’s wife and chief hench-woman. It jumps back and forth between their past and present, and makes a little bit more sense out of their relationship.
Isobel, the young woman Liv and company met through Renegade’s network, has a lot on her plate. Smuggled illegally into New Seattle, dying from a fatal disease, she was hoping, like so many others, that the process of becoming a zombie would halt her disease. Instead, she’s proven to be the only person so far who is apparently naturally immune to zombie-ism.
Supergirl and company start off with a scene that will make you not want a cookie for a while. After that, they go back to following up on the dead birds that were raining down at the end of last episode.
Well, Oliver Queen is determined to do things on his own now that he’s lost his team and fired Overwatch. I think maybe part of why he did that was so that there wouldn’t be anyone around to say, “Oliver, this is a terrible idea,” when he decides to something new and stupid.
Krypton’s history gets more and more complicated in “Civil Wars.”
Legion is a very odd show. This isn’t news to anyone who has watched it, certainly not by “Chapter 12.” Even bearing that in mind, I’ll say this was a weird episode. For me, it kept veering back and forth between, “Ok, that’s clever” and “Enough, we get it already.”
I have been saying for a while now that I was disappointed, overall, in most of the CW/DC Universe shows this season, the exceptions being Legends of Tomorrow and the debut of Black Lightning (which was amazing). I don’t know if this is just an outlier or a hopeful sign of things changing, but this episode of The Flash was one of the better ones they’ve done in a long time.
