The Review at the End of the Universe
“Success Is Assured” The Flash ends its sixth season earlier than planned with a team effort to stop Eva McCulloch from murdering her husband. This is a difficult episode for a reviewer as it’s technically a season finale but was never intended to be one so it’s not completely fair to grade it on how…
“Freaks and Greeks” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow has the team going back to college because the only way to progress in their quest to rewrite fate is to navigate the Greek system. I’m from Scotland so the Fraternity/Sorority system is all Greek to me -pun intended- which means that I find it difficult to connect…
“The Missing Link” Supergirl moves forward with the Leviathan plot as Lena starts to question the decisions she has made up to this point. I’ve mentioned before that this season has a lot of plots to juggle and episodes like this act as proof that there is too much going on for the show to…
“A Secret Kept From All the Rest” Batwoman continues the search for the secrets contained within the journal of Lucius Fox as hidden truths start to become known. Who would have thought a handwritten book could cause so much trouble? It’s just one of those accepted conceits that someone as intelligent and resourceful as Lucius…
“Pay the Piper” The Flash brings back an old enemy as the team faces a newer enemy while reeling from the revelation of the mirror duplicates. I’ve often accused this show of being excessively morbid and I stand by that accusation in every instance because the writers do have a tendency to make things more…
“Ship Broken” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow assembles the loom of fate and deals with a threat from within the Waverider. Even placeholder episodes of this show are immensely fun. In other shows an episode like this would represent a forgettable holding pattern as the hunt for the plot device is over but it isn’t quite…
“Deus Lex Machina” Supergirl returns from a production hiatus with a look back at the post Crisis life of Lex Luthor. As with all the shows, real life meant that I missed a couple of episodes worth of reviews so here’s a brief summary of what I thought of them. I think that this season…
“If You Believe in Me, I’ll Believe in You” Batwoman continues to develop the mystery around Lucius Fox’ death as Alice continues to make waves in Arkham Asylum. Kudos to this show for wasting no time putting Mary to good use within Team Batwoman. Her knowing the secret isn’t enough for Kate and Lucius to…
“Liberation” The Flash continues with the mirror duplicates plot as Eva prepares to make her escape from the mirror dimension. If this season of The Flash was to be given an award it would definitely be “most improved”. I’m not prepared to say that the show has shed all of the significant issues it has…
Star Wars Day (May the 4th) is upon us once again and Kneel Before Pod continues its annual discussion of the Star Wars movies in release order. This year it’s time to venture into Prequel Country with the 1999 release Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. The team discusses how good the word…
