The Review at the End of the Universe
“The Book of Rebellion: Chapter Two: Gift of the Magi” Black Lightning continues the runaway teen tail as Jefferson, Anissa and Gambi use all of their resources to find them before more dangerous people do. First of all I’m very aware of how late this review is. Life got in the way which meant I…
“Prophet and Loss” Supernatural takes Dean on one last hunt before taking the eternal plunge to the bottom of the ocean as Sam tries to convince him that there is always hope. Episodes like this are awkward as they sit in-between large plot developments and the continuation of said plots. Such is the folly of…
“Point of Light” Star Trek: Discovery checks in with L’Rell and Tyler and Amanda pays a visit to the Discovery to enlist Burnham’s help in resolving the Spock situation. Last season ended with L’Rell seizing power in the Klingon Empire by having her finger on the detonator of a bomb that could wipe out the…
“Memorabilia” The Flash delves into the memories of Grace and Nora to serve the ongoing stories surrounding those characters. Walking around in people’s memories is a common science fiction story as it can deliver insight into how a character is really feeling or explore how their mind works on the context of the show. Adding…
“Past Sins” Arrow continues with the thread of Robert Queen’s actions becoming an issue that Oliver has to deal with in the present day when someone comes after him because of something his father did. For someone who has been dead for around 12 years Robert Queen still makes a significant impact on the lives…
“Blood Memory” Supergirl continues to deal with the story of Nia’s emerging powers and explores how they affect her relationship with her family. Nia Nal has been a great addition to the world of the show thanks in no small part to Nicole Maines’ constantly engaging portrayal of her. It was revealed early on that…
“Man of Worth” Outlander concludes its fourth season with a birth, a conclusion to the finding Roger plot and a massive change in circumstances for some of the characters. Sometimes it’s easy to forget just how much time passes between episodes or within the span of a single episode in this show. A lot of…
“Damaged Goods” Supernatural returns to Nick’s quest for revenge and picks up the thread on the only option that stops Michael from destroying the world. This show has previously suffered problems when it comes to characters keeping secrets from one another. It’s something that it leaned on too heavily in the past and there are always…
Star Trek Discovery continues to explore the mystery of the red bursts and takes the crew to an undiscovered Human colony on the other side of the galaxy. I mentioned last week that the red burst story could act as little more than an enabler for plot, acting as an excuse to take the ship…
“Seeing Red” The Flash shifts focus back to the Cicada plot as the team try to figure out a way to protect the Metahumans he’s targetting. I mentioned in my review of the pre-crossover midseason finale that it felt like there wasn’t a lot of story left to the Cicada plot and that it should…
