Gotham: One of My Three Soups
Gotham is definitely veering towards stranger and stranger titles as the “A Dark Knight” season continues. This week’s is “One of My Three Soups,” which at least makes some sense before the end of the episode.

If you’ve been watching Arrow for a while, it’s become clear that something has been up with Thea Queen, played by Willa Holland. Her part has been getting smaller and smaller, with long absences based on flimsy excuses. According to several sources, Holland herself has been behind the reduction in her role.
This week’s Black Lightning starts doing a bit of repair work on one of the major relationships on the show, which I’m glad to see.
With the reveal of zombies’ existence and the takeover of Seattle, there are a lot of complicated things going on.
This week’s Legends of Tomorrow goes for a classic sci fi novel for their title parody. “I, Ava” is, I suspect, a nod to Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot. We do finally learn some of the secret behind Ava Sharpe, now Director of the Time Bureau, that Rip Hunter hinted about. It comes as a surprise to everyone.
Like anyone in an ongoing adventure series, the Agents of SHIELD have been through a lot. The sort of emotional and moral fatigue they suffer from can take its toll on even the best of them. We see some of this kicking in as “Devil Complex” shows us the latest developments for the outlawed special agents.
Changes keep coming on Gotham in “A Dark Knight: The Sinking Ship the Grand Applause.” I don’t always get what they’re doing with the titles on this show, and this one makes no sense at all to me. I didn’t see any sign of a ship, literal or figurative, but it was a decent episode regardless of what they called it.
Black Lightning: The Book of Little Black Lies opens with Jefferson training and dealing with the aftermath of the revelations about Gambi last episode.
In a rare two-parter, iZombie continues last episode’s story with “Brainless in Seattle, Part 2.” It starts with a nasty scene in The Scratching Post, with a zombie getting beaten on by some guys from Fillmore-Graves. The F-G crew is looking worse and worse as this season goes on.
Among the many things I enjoy about the Legends of Tomorrow is the sense of humor and pop culture references. They have fun with that in their titles from time to time, and did for this one. “Necromancing The Stone,” is a call back to the Michael Douglas/Kathleen Turner action comedy, Romancing the Stone.
