The Review at the End of the Universe
“I’ll Be Judge, I’ll be Jury” Batwoman deals with the issue of corruption within the prison system when a villain motivated by punishing those who he perceives as truly guilty makes his presence felt. As previous reviews have stated this show’s major problem is failing to carve out its own niche within the Arrowverse. For the…
“Raising Hell” Supernatural continues its final season with further efforts to keep a lid on the mass haunting situation from the previous episode. It’s rare to have an episode of Supernatural follow directly on from the events in the previous one. This would typically happen at the end of a season because a story is too…
“Present Tense” Arrow merges the two timelines and forces the team to consider the legacy they’re building with their actions. The cliffhanger in the previous episode had a great deal of potential attached to it and it’s great to see that no time is wasted in living up to that. Bringing the young characters back…
“There Will Be Blood” The Flash continues to deal with the prospect of Barry’s unavoidable death as he tries to prepare Cisco for life without him. Readers of this site will know that I’ve been very critical of The Flash in the past as it dramatically reduced in quality after a stellar first season. It’s…
“Dangerous Liaisons” Supergirl makes use of the newfound camaraderie found between Kara and William as the Leviathan plot gains some traction. Clandestine -and often ancient- organisations are a dime a dozen within the Arrowverse. It’s getting to the stage where it’s difficult to imagine what can be brought to the table where they’re concerned at…
“Mine is a Long and a Sad Tale” Batwoman starts to fill in the details of Alice’s back story with flashbacks to the events following the accident that separated the twin sisters. Such an episode was inevitable right from the moment Kate realised that her sister was still alive as there’s a great deal of…
“Leap of Faith” Arrow reunites OIiver with Thea on a trip to Nanda Parbat in an attempt to find out more about The Monitor. Having Thea back on the show is always welcomed. She has grown a great deal over the years and her presence on the show is sorely missed. It’s great that this…
“In Plain Sight” Supergirl says goodbye to a major character as J’Onn continues to deal with the threat of his brother and Kara learns more about William. It was announced a while ago that Mehcad Brooks would be leaving the series in order to pursue his own projects that he needs additional time for. It’s…
“Who Are You?” Batwoman starts to explore how the impact of being a vigilante affects Kate personally as she tries to refine her focus in a way that works for her. The most striking thing about this show is how self assured the lead character is as a contrast to how the show itself seems…
“Dead Man Running” The Flash deals with the acceptance of certain death and the importance of honesty when Barry starts to prepare the team for the coming Crisis. There was a time where this show was immensely frustrating in how repetitive it was when it comes to Team Flash being honest with one other. Week…
