The writers on the various CW shows have been doing a good job of going through DC Comics archives to find random and often obscure characters to bring to live action, often for the first time. This week, they use one that actually did start off as a supporting character for the Flash before going on to join the Justice League.
While the writing on Supergirl can be uneven, sometimes they pull off something really good. They did that this week with “The Faithful.”
Arrow continues their very different season six with “Next of Kin.”
Last episode, lurking bad guy The Thinker hinted there were more new metas for Team Flash to deal with. That’s a big part of this episode, as the team faces a new version of a minor DC Comics character.
Now that they’ve gotten the season going, we’re back to the voice-over intros for the Legends of Tomorrow. Sara is doing it this week, and talks about how they broke time. She’s a bit sarcastic, if accurate, and it’s an amusing lead-in for the show.
I read that this season of Supergirl is going to be focused on relationships. That seems to be the case in “Far From The Tree,” which tells the parallel stories of two different father/adult child dynamics.
Last episode ended with the very public revelation that Oliver Queen is the Green Arrow. Again. What is this, like the third time this has happened? Fourth?
Still not quite done with “What We Did On Our Summer Vacation,” Legends of Tomorrow starts again with another six month flashback. This time it’s Amaya and Nate, being a happy domestic couple and her preparing a special birthday surprise for him. They get some flirting time in the kitchen, but when he runs…
“Mixed Signals” brings back a villain from the period in the comics when Wally West was the Flash.
Supergirl had a rough start with her first episode of the season, “Girl of Steel.” It doesn’t get a lot better for her in “Triggers.”
