0 on Legends of Tomorrow 7x05 Review - Time & ConsequencesWhile Legends of Tomorrow stands out for its revolving cast door, it also has a track record for finding new jobs for actors whose characters don't make sense. Alternate realities, timelines, and shapeshifters make it easy to meet a doppelganger along the way. Amaya became Charlie, Flannel Zari became Fancy Zari, and now John Constantine becomes…
Six years, two networks, a pandemic, and some really bumpy seasons have led up to this finale. We've been promised a wedding, but it's not for Kara. Will the last six season of television wrap up in a satisfying way, or will it remind us more of the series' lowest points instead of its highest…
Legends of Tomorrow cares about its characters in a way that feels really rare for a television show. The timeline is important, of course, but compassion is, too. Spoilers follow for Legends of Tomorrow Season 7, Episode 4, "Speakeasy Does It." "Speakeasy Does It" PROTECTION — When the Legends arrive in Chicago, they come across a speakeasy…
Some of my favorite Batwoman moments have been when the show gets truly macabre. Each of the CW superhero shows, despite being in a shared universe and sharing a lot of visual styles, and has its own look. Batwoman has a darker tone than other shows in the lineup overall, and is at its best when…
Supergirl is very nearly finished with its six-season run. As the series prepares for its two-hour finale, its characters are settling into place for their futures. Spoilers follow for Supergirl Season 6, Episode 18, "Truth or Consequences."

Stargirl is a show about a bunch of teenagers in Nebraska trying to pick up the legacy of a team of superheroes left behind by time. It's also one of the best written and acted shows on the CW, and the Season 2 finale is one satisfying payoff after another. Spoilers follow for Stargirl Season 2, Episode 13,…
Another day, another totem. Such is the life of Supergirl, freelance superhero. After quitting her job at CatCo, Kara is focusing full-time on dealing with the threat of Nyxly, jilted fifth-dimensional imp princess. Spoilers follow for Supergirl Season 6, Episode 17, "I Believe In A Thing Called Love." "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" LEX RETURNS —…
When it comes to artificial intelligence, the question of nature vs. nurture becomes very different. Humans are created (ask your parents), but an artificial intelligence is built. It has specific programming. The line between what an AI is and what it can become as it learns is easier to find and manipulate. Now that Gideon, the…
Batwoman continues to root through Batman's history, mining it for ideas and struggling to find anything to do with it. We've been through the Mad Hatter and Killer Croc, and now it's time for Mr. Freeze. Spoilers follow for Batwoman Season 3, Episode 3, "Freeze." "Freeze" LEFT OUT IN THE COLD – An unfortunate incident in downtown…
With the danger of Eclipso looming, Courtney is doing everything she can to ensure that she and her friends can defeat him--including making an uneasy alliance with Cindy Burman--who has tried to kill her multiple times. But that also means trying to get back the JSA members who have gone astray, and that might be…
Batwoman Season 3 is covering a lot of ground already, but doing so at a breakneck pace that threatens to do a disservice to some of Batman's many villains. Spoilers follow for Batwoman Season 3, Episode 2, "Loose Tooth." "Loose Tooth" A BITING CHANCE — When a new incarnation of Gotham’s swamp slumming Killer Croc…

The character relationships among the Waverider's ensemble are what make Legends continue to be a gem of the Arrowverse, but the characters need forward momentum. This episode focuses too much on its characters without doing anything to move the story forward. "The Need for Speed" A TICKET TO RIDE — While the Legends contemplate how…
Titans Season 3 is, easily, the best of the show's three seasons so far. That risks sounding like a backhanded compliment with how bad Titans Season 2 was, but I actually enjoyed watching Titans Season 3. It felt smarter, more cohesive, more agile, and more self-aware than the second season by a huge stretch. Flashbacks Suck…
The idea of a dimension of pure hallucination and sadness is so comic book-y, and calling it the Shadowlands even moreso. And that's what makes it rad. Spoilers follow for Stargirl Season 2, Epiosde 11, "Summer School: Chapter Eleven." "Summer School: Chapter Eleven" FACING THE DARKNESS — After a frightening encounter leaves Courtney’s (Brec Bassinger) life hanging…
Batwoman and Titans are two very different takes on Batman mythology that nevertheless run into the same problem: Telling a Batman story without Batman in it is really tough, and the writers have to contend with how to handle Batman's vast rogues' gallery without it feeling like fanservice. Spoilers follow for Batwoman Season 3, Episode 1, "Mad as a…
For the Legends, things have to go wrong before they can start going right. When last we left our heroes, they watched as the Waverider was destroyed by... another Waverider.

DC's weirdest superhero team was a surprise hit when the DC Universe streaming service app was still a thing, and they've since outlived the service. Now, the Doom Patrol is getting Season 4. Details on Doom Patrol Season 4 are light. We're currently in the midst of Season 3, where the Doom Patrol is tangling…
What's harder: being mom to a lonely, frustrated young alien, or stopping nuclear war? It's kind of a toss-up, apparently. Spoilers follow for Supergirl Season 6, Episode 15, "Hope for Tomorrow." "Hope for Tomorrow" NYXLY KIDNAPS WILLIAM — Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) continues to fight Nyxly (Peta Sergeant) for the remaining totems but after Nyxly kidnaps William (Staz…
