0 on The Flash 8x13 Review - How to be a HeroAcross eight seasons of television, it's inevitable that the cast of a show will change. Throughout the Flash, we've said goodbye to a whole bunch of allies and enemies. This week, it's time to let a member of Team Flash go. Spoilers follow for The Flash Season 8, Episode 13, "Death Falls." "Death Falls" Team Flash…
The big bad for The Flash's second arc of Season 8 revealed itself last week: Deathstorm. The otherworldly entity is leaving charred corpses all over Central City, and seems to have an eye for Caitlin Snow, despite saying that it is not, in fact, her late husband Ronnie. Spoilers follow for The Flash Season 8, Episode 12,…
This last week saw the cancelation of Batwoman and Legends of Tomorrow, after 3 and 7 seasons, respectively. It raises a tough question: Is the Arrowverse dead? And then there were two... Let's look at the facts. The shows that are explicitly part of the Arrowverse include Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, Black…
Despite being a show about a flying man who can hold up an entire bridge with one hand, Superman and Lois is a fairly grounded show that has found a way to thread the needle between some of Superman's sillier adventures and the very real repercussions they would cause. How does a show like that…
This season's focus on Caitlin Snow continues this week right where it left off: with Caitlin facing down the black flame, which is talking to her using words spoken last by Ronnie, the husband she lost twice--first in the show's premiere, and then again when he, as Firestorm, flew into a singularity to save everyone. Spoilers follow…
With Barry Allen having two father figures in his life--Henry Allen and Joe West--The Flash often leans toward stories about fatherhood. This episode, it's time for dads to step aside as the Snow family reconvenes to fight the Black Flame and Iris helps her new phantom friend find her birth mother. Spoilers follow for The Flash Season 8,…
After a couple of surprisingly solid episodes, can The Flash keep the streak--pun intended--going? The focus is once again off of the Flash himself, shifted instead to Chester P. Runk, as Team Flash tries to find who or whatever is responsible for the charred corpses appearing around Central City. Spoilers follow for The Flash Season 8, Episode 9,…
When Superman flew through the portal to the shadow world, he left our world without a hero to protect it. John Irons is trying to fill his shoes, but subbing in for the single most powerful being on the planet is anything but easy. Spoilers follow for Superman & Lois Season 2, Episode 9, "30 Days and…
When Barry watched his father get carted off to prison for a crime he didn't commit, it forever changed him, sending him toward being a Crime Scene Investigator so that he could learn how to prove his father--and other people falsely accused--innocent. This week, Barry gets back to basics. Spoilers follow for The Flash Season 8, Episode…
With the other Superman dead, our Superman is left to face Ally Alston on his own. Meanwhile, just about everyone has family to worry about. Spoilers follow for Superman & Lois Season 2, Episode 8, "Into Oblivion." "Into Oblivion" Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch), Clark (Tyler Hoechlin), and Natalie (Taylor Buck) notice a difference in John Henry’s (Wole Parks)…
Sometimes, all it takes to make a good superhero story is a simple puzzle and a dilemma. After the previous eyeroller of an episode, The Flash is back with an episode that shows the power of a simple bottle episode. Spoilers follow for The Flash Season 8, Episode 7, "Lockdown." "Lockdown" When a criminal invades the CCPD, Barry…
The Flash kicked off Season 8 with an imperfect but thrilling five-part series that pitted Barry against his long-time nemesis the Reverse-Flash, in one of their most fun encounters since the show's very first season. After a long break to finish up some of the other shows, The Flash is now back with an episode focused…
This week's episode is talk-heavy, but that's because there's a lot of work to get done. There are tons of interesting character interactions to enjoy from across the entire cast, and also the loss of one of the show's more interesting characters. Spoilers follow for Superman & Lois Season 2, Episode 7, "Anti-Hero." "Anti-Hero" Superman (Tyler…
The CW has historically been pretty generous about renewing shows well ahead of schedule, and some of the renewals have genuinely surprised us. With the network confirmed to be for sale, though, it seems like the brass is being a bit more tentative about spending money on new seasons. This week's episode of Legends marks the Season…
If there's one thing I love, it's a good hallway fight. A hallway fight makes for one of the most memorable scenes of Oldboy, they defined the Netflix Marvel shows, and they're a surprise highlight of the latest episode of Superman & Lois. Spoilers follow for Superman & Lois Season 2, Episode 6, "Tried and True." "Tried and True"…
Coming off of one of the silliest episodes in a while last week, the Legends shift gears to one of the more bittersweet episodes in a while--though we know that with the finale still yet to come, things aren't quite as, well, final as they seem. Spoilers follow for Legends of Tomorrow Season 7, Episode 12, "Too…
A new Batman film is a cultural event like few others, and the Batman character is one that people connect with in a way they do few others. That means that any new Batman film is under a lot of pressure to get things right. For director Matt Reeves and star Robert Pattinson, the pressure…
Bizarro Superman isn't so much a supervillain as he is a super-misunderstanding. He's from a different place that works the opposite of ours. But also it's important to celebrate Sara's quinceañera, I guess. Spoilers follow for Superman & Lois Season 2, Episode 5, "Girl... You'll be a Woman, Soon." "Girl...You'll Be A Woman, Soon" Lana (Emmanuelle Chriqui),…
The crew of the Waverider handles multiple tones and weird pairings of storylines and characters better than lots of other shows, but this episode is one the team has been working up to all season, and some of the earned moments don't land as they should. Spoilers follow for Legends of Tomorrow Season 7, Episode 11, "Rage Against…
Peacemaker shouldn't exist. It's an eight-episode, premium-tier streaming series about a character that isn't even a C-grade comics character, let alone a legend like The Flash or Daredevil. He's a weird-looking Silver Age character for whom update attempts have largely failed, and he is--was--largely forgotten by the vast majority of comics fans. At least, until…
