1 on Black Lightning Season 3, Episode 15 Review - Gravedigger Arrives"Wayne Brady makes for a compelling villain" is not a sentence I ever thought I'd write. It's 2020, though, and everything is weird; so here we are. Wayne Brady makes for a compelling villain. The penultimate episode of Black Lightning's third season brings as many dangling plotlines together as it can and gets us ready for…
It's easy to say that Flash is leaning too heavily on old villains following the Crisis on Infinite Earths, but if they're going to do it the way they're doing it now, I think I might be okay with that. The show has been a mix of old and new villains, remixed and tweaked, and…
New Batwoman episode photos show that Sophie is going to have to deal with some family drama. Batwoman episode 114, "Grinning From Ear to Ear," will see Mary trying to assist Kate. AT WHAT COST -- Batwoman (Ruby Rose) and Luke (Camrus Johnson) are on the trail of a villain targeting social media mavens. Sophie…
"I'm currently tracking Genghis Khan's whereabouts via his license plate" is the best sentence I've heard this week and I'm glad, as usual, that Legends of Tomorrow continues to deliver its unique and special brand of bad-news-bears heart. Sara's still out of town, so the rest of the Time Idiots continue to manage on their own.…
When I try to think back through this week's episode of Black Lightning, it feels like very little happened. That's probably because last week was a banger of an episode with a huge battle that took up most of the runtime and introduced an awesome new villain played by, incredibly, Wayne Brady. This week is the…
For some, retro means 1970s clothes, 1980s music, or a certain 1990s aesthetic, but for Batwoman it's all about Kate Beckinsale movies. This week, Batwoman asks the question "what if vampires wore silky trenchcoats?" Spoilers follow for Batwoman season 1, episode 13, "Drink Me." "Drink Me" This week is what we call an "off week," where a…
A television episode designed to celebrate a show's 100-episode run should feel like cheap fanservice. Not that it's supposed to, but rather that episodes like these often do. Instead, the episode we got is one of the best of the season, if not the best. The writers cleverly used the idea of looking back at…
When last we left our hero, Iris West-Allen was banging her hands on the wrong side of a mirror as her evil twin lovingly hugged her husband. This week, the focus shifts further off Barry, giving Iris time to explore this strange dimension. On the outside, master detective Ralph Dibny finally tracks down Sue Dearbon.…
The writers of Legends of Tomorrow have a special talent that seemingly no other show in the Arrowverse can replicate; over and over, it manages to be utterly silly and yet offer meaningful character development and good emotional beats. It does this over and over. I know by this point that it's not a fluke. This…
A month ago, Supergirl gave us an episode titled "Bottle Episode." That episode unleashed the fully-powered Brainiac 5 into the world. Now, two episodes later, we have an actual "bottle episode" of sorts. The DEO is in lockdown and our heroes have to hack their way out. Spoilers follow for Supergirl Season 5, Episode 12, "Back from the…
Following the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths, Batwoman found herself living in a new world. Putting aside the presence of Kryptonians and other aliens, the weirdest moment for Kate happens when her sister Beth--not Alice--walks through her door. The two quickly figure out that Beth is a remnant from another Earth destroyed in the Crisis,…
Each season of Legends of Tomorrow pits the team against a new monster-of-the-week threat, usually caused by some mistake one of the Legends made in the season previous. This year, it's the Encores - evil people sent to Hell, given a second chance to wreak havoc on Earth. The Encores thus far have been historical figures,…
Should Kara have told Lena her secret earlier? Supergirl celebrates 100 episodes in new show photos! Supergirl episode 513, "It's a Super Life," will see Mxyzptlk giving Kara a choice of changing the past. THOMAS LENNON ("RENO 911") GUEST STARS IN SUPERGIRL'S 100TH EPISODE -- Mxyzptlk (guest star Thomas Lennon) returns with a proposition for…
New Batwoman episode photos show that even Batwoman and Alice will have to team up every so often. Batwoman episode 113, "Drink Me," will see kate being pulled in multiple directions. BEING A HERO IS DRAINING - A new villain sinks her teeth into Gotham and The Hold Up opens in grand fashion. Sophie (Meagan…
You know how it goes. If a character gets sucked into a mirror in a sci-fi story, one of two things happens. Either they enter a freaky mirror world, or they get replaced by a mirror person. Last week left us off with Iris getting sucked into a mirror by some terrifying mirror hands, and…
Good things come to those who wait. After two episodes of setup, Black Lightning and his team finally drop in on the Markovians for a super-powered battle that doesn't skimp on special effects or fight choreography. The rescue mission doesn't go quite as planned, but it doesn't disappoint, either. And we get a pretty great…
New Batwoman episode photos show that the Kane sisters may now be experiencing some issues. Batwoman episode 112, "Take Your Choice," will see Beth's headaches getting worse, and Luke and Mary rushing to find the cause. TWO'S A CROWD -- As Kate (Ruby Rose) is pulled between two sisters, Luke (Camrus Johnson) and Mary (Nicole…
"Who are you guys?" asks a new character as they step onto the Waverider for the first time. "We're idiots," Mick Rory replies. Whether he knows it or not, this seems to be the anthem for the Legends, the dumbest and best show in the Arrowverse. This week, they're taking on a Bugsy Seigel-sized ego…
What do you do when you knew for a fact that you were supposed to die--and then didn't? That's the idea behind the CW's now-canceled Lucy Hale vehicle Life Sentence. It's also a big part of this week's episode of The Flash, the first back from the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover. Everyone in Barry's life…
Black Lightning set up a clear conflict early into the season: the Markovian army wants to capture powerful metahumans and turn them into tools for war. The A.S.A. wants to stop them but plans to weaponize the metahumans for themselves in the process. In the middle is the town of Freeland. The ASA has been…
