After dealing with Grodd the last two episodes, the STAR Labs team have a new problem to face. The big bad of the season is finally back, and making life hell for our heroes. Now, they have to face “The Wrath of Savitar.” Preparing for the upcoming showdown with their fast foe, the speedsters…
Relatively recently, Arrow dipped into politics in “Spectre of the Gun.” Deliberately or not, Supergirl seems to following suit on the immigration front in “Exodus.” If they didn’t write this with some of the current issues regarding deportation, refugees, and immigration in mind, it’s a really striking series of coincidences. The show opens with a…
The Legends have been making a lot of questionable decisions the last several episodes. With that many bad choices behind them, it’s no real surprise they end up in the “Land of the Lost.” With the writers already having proven their fondness for nostalgia, I suspect the Sid and Marty Kroft tv show that ran…
After the insanity last episode with Mr. Mxyzptlk, things start off on a better note. It’s the morning after for Kara and Mon-El, and Mon wakes up in bed alone. He wanders through the apartment bemused as he sees that Supergirl has been busy, foiling several crimes. She flies in through the window, bearing flowers…
Last episode of Arrow ended with the surprise of Oliver’s cover-up about Detective Malone’s death being released to the media. This episode has its share of surprises along the way, with a big twist I didn’t remotely see coming. I think, overall, this may have been one of their better episodes. Quentin, Oliver, Thea, and…
Supergirl gets a visit from one of Superman’s more powerful and most annoying foes in “Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk.” Like several other classic Superman foes in this series, this seems to be the first appearance of the character in this world, since Supergirl is completely unfamiliar with him. Their best font of Superman knowledge, Jimmy…
Last time was “Attack on Gorilla City,” although there was no real attack. Now comes the sequel, “Attack on Central City,” in which Grodd returns the visit Barry and company paid last time. Although Grodd’s nowhere near as considerate a guest. Gorillas aren’t known for their etiquette, after all. In Central City, Valentines Day is…
Things get ugly on a few levels in Arrow’s “Sin Eater.” Some earlier villains return for an encore, some allies make some hard choices, and some of the help they were hoping for doesn’t quite happen. It’s an interesting mix of plotlines, and none of them go real well for Mayor Oliver Queen. The show…
Supergirl gets a slightly diminished role in her own show so they can focus on “The Luthors.” The show opens with a flashback from twenty years ago as Lena is brought home to the Luthor mansion by Lionel. Mother Lillian doesn’t approve, but then, she pretty much disapproves of everything. The cold interactions give us…
This week the Legends of Tomorrow bounce around the timeline pretty well in “Camelot/3000.” While the title describes their two destinations, it also refers to an obscure comic series from the 1980’s. In the maxiseries Camelot 3000, as the title suggests, Arthur and his Knights come back in the year 3000, in a mix of fantasy and sci fi. Nice job working that in, writers. The voiceover this week is done by Ray Palmer, who suffers in comparison to Heat Wave’s masterful job at the beginning of “Turncoat.”
