Flash: Into the Speed Force

Last week, Wally fell for Savitar’s machinations and ended up trapped. Now, Barry and everyone else is determined to save him. The only way to rescue Wally and hopefully get more information on how to beat Savitar is to go, “Into The Speed Force.” The team is gathered at STAR Labs, trying to figure out…

Flash: The Wrath of Savitar

  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…

Supergirl: Exodus

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…

Legends of Tomorrow: Land of the Lost

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…

Supergirl: Homecoming

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…

Arrow: Fire With Fire

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: Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk

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…

Flash: Attack on Central City

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…

Arrow: Sin-Eater

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: Luthors

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…
