The Review at the End of the Universe
“Shiv (Part 1)” Stargirl shifts its focus from young superheroes to their teenage criminal-in-waiting counterparts by spotlighting the first of several second-generation villains, someone who is already evil enough on her own. Heroes and villains are more interesting when they function as a mirror of one another, or at least operate on a comparable level….
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow recently completed its fifth season which prompted a conversation on Kneel Before Pod. The team discusses typical lunacy, the merits of free will and how drunk you’d have to be to not notice someone being abducted by aliens right in front of you. Craig can be found on this very site,…
“Adapt or Die” Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. evolves the threat of the Chronicoms as some lingering questions find answers. If anyone’s following these reviews to read my thoughts on how this show handles time travel then you’ll get your fix early. Any questions over whether this show was allowing the characters to play their part…
“The Queen’s Gambit” The 100 continues to heighten the tension in Sanctum as the Bardo prisoners have little to do but discuss their issues with one another. This season remains a difficult one to understand just because of the volume of plot being burned through. So far the strongest episodes have been the ones that…
The announcement that Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League would be seeing a release on the streaming service HBO Max took the internet by storm recently so Kneel Before Pod took a break during a recent recording to discuss what this all means. Craig can be found on this very site, Andrew’s work can be…
Supergirl recently completed its fifth season so as part of our ongoing Arrowverse coverage Kneel Before Pod had to discuss it. The discussion covers life changing decisions, Lex Luthor the master planner and a long rant about the use of technology in the show. Craig can be found on this very site, Andrew’s work can…
“The Justice Society” Stargirl reaches its midway point and sees the teenage superteam assemble for their inaugural mission, learning for the first time what they’re capable of. The premise of Stargirl has so far been Courtney’s decision to recruit for a new generation of the Justice Society, but rather than make that the end goal…
“A Trout in the Milk” Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. heads to the 1970s to stop the Chronicoms and HYDRA from changing history into something significantly worse than came before. I really like that this season is playing fast and loose with whether the timeline can be changed or if the characters are simply playing their…
“Nakara” The 100 catches up with Clarke’s group on the ice planet as Diyoza’s whereabouts become known and the situation in Sanctum continues to deteriorate. At last we learn what happened to Diyoza and, to begin with, it’s more or less the same thing that happened to Octavia. Those in Bardo tried to forcibly extract…
Batwoman recently completed its first season so Kneel Before Pod is almost legally obligated to add it to the standard rota of Arrowverse conversations. This episode discusses casting troubles, LGBT representation in superhero media and more love triangles than we would ever need. Craig can be found on this very site and Andrew’s work can…
