The Review at the End of the Universe
Attention all Marshmallows; Veronica Mars recently returned for a fourth season on the streaming platform Hulu so Kneel Before Pod just had to deliver some thoughts on it. Craig and Laura discuss growing up, codependence, changing relationships and Spring Break! Craig can be found on this very site. Laura can be found on her website…
“The Alpha and the Omega” Krypton closes out its second season with a public challenge to Zod’s authority and setup for the next phase of the show. It’s safe to say that the production team have more or less given up on the notion of Krypton serving as a prequel to the Superman mythology. It…
“Blood Moon” Krypton reunites Val and Seg as Zod aggressively steps up his plan to eradicate the rebellion by unleashing Doomsday. The promise of using Doomsday as a weapon against Zod’s enemies has been teased throughout the season and has been a significant fixture of recent episodes. Zod has devoted all of his energies into…
“Mercy” Krypton introduces an important piece of Superman mythology as Zod’s impatience starts to get the best of him. Colin Salmon’s Zod is the definitive version of the character as far as I’m concerned. I’ve said it before and I will continue to say this. I’ve enjoyed every live action version of this character in one…
“The Blood of Sanctum” The 100 closes off its 6th season with the final battle between Wonkru and the Primes as well as posing the difficult question of where the characters go next. Looking back at this season as a whole it’s probably best described as transitional. The shift in setting has opened up the…

Endings are never easy and rarely satisfying to the audience at large. I don’t envy Rob Thomas and his team who were tasked with coming…
“Bye, Zombies” iZombie crosses another episode type off the bucket list for its penultimate outing by bringing audiences its take on the heist episode. The ubiquity of films like Ocean’s Eleven or Mission: Impossible have made the meticulously planned heist a mainstay in popular culture. Stylish montages outline the plan as visualised by the mastermind…
“Adjustment Protocol” Revolution in the air as the plan to infiltrate Sanctum begins to play out in the penultimate season 6 episode of The 100. After a more subdued and slow paced outing last week this episode has a much more kinetic action driven focus that presents a ticking clock to be fought against and…
“Killer Queen” iZombie starts to pull the various plots together as Liv consumes the brain of a murdered Drag Queen. With three episodes left to go everyone knows the routine when it comes to the murder investigations and this episode is more or less a standard example of this. Liv isn’t overpowered by the Drag…
“Zods and Monsters” Krypton explores the origin of Doomsday as Seg and Nyssa work to deal with the immediate Brainiac problem. Doomsday is traditionally less of a character and more of a plot device. He was dreamed up to be a formidable opponent for Superman capable of killing him. Anyone that has heard of him…
