The Review at the End of the Universe
“Down Down Down” Batwoman ploughs on with a mixed bag of character interaction and gradual steps to develop Kate towards the hardened vigilante seen in “Elseworlds, as well as some development for the secondary characters. At every point in a hero’s journey they reach a crossroads where they question whether or not what they’re doing…
“Blurred Lines” Supergirl has always placed a heavy importance on its interpersonal relationships, and this episode is almost entirely focused on that aspect, be it current relationships moving forwards or past ones being given new perspectives. In keeping with its title, the episode deals with lines between morality, and like the godawful and disgustingly misogynistic…
“Back and to the Future” Supernatural begins its final season picking up where the last one left off with the odds stacked against Sam, Dean and Castiel. Part of me never thought I’d see the day that I’d be covering the final season of Supernatural but all things do have to end and it looks…
“A Flash of the Lightning” The Flash continues to build towards the upcoming Crisis crossover as Killer Frost tries to get a life and Cecile finds a new focus for her skills. “Crisis On Infinite Earths” is something this show has been teasing since the very first episode and it is now at the point…
“Starling City” Arrow begins its eighth and final season with a trip down memory lane to the beginnings of Oliver Queen’s crusade. TV shows in their final season often get nostalgic because they’ve earned the right to do so. Seven seasons on the air builds up a significant legacy and Arrow has always been good…
“Stranger Beside Me” Supergirl continues its fifth season by focusing on the relationships that are at different stages and highlighting what isn’t known within them. The strength in this show is the ongoing relationships and how they develop over time. There are a lot of really outlandish elements at play but the interpersonal dynamics help…
It’s often said that the journey is more important than the destination, and it appears that Vince Gilligan would agree. The highly anticipated and much-hyped, El Camino (released 11th Oct on Netflix), follows in the footsteps of Better Call Saul, further expanding the universe of Breaking Bad, and answers fans’ questions about what happened to…
“The Rabbit Hole” Batwoman continues to develop the relationship between Kate and Alice while adding to the mystery surrounding Alice’s identity. The previous episode revealed that the villain known as Alice is actually Kate’s sister Beth who was believed killed in an incident when both of them were children. This episode largely focuses on exploring…
“Into the Void” The Flash returns for a sixth season to pick up the pieces from the previous season and set things up for the season ahead as well as the upcoming crossover. Loss weighs heavily on Team Flash after Nora’s sacrifice at the end of last season. As the episode begins Barry and Iris…
“Event Horizon” Supergirl returns for a fifth season with a new costume for Kara and the beginnings of a cautionary tale against society’s reliance on technology. It’s fair to say that this show has never been subtle in its approach to exploring topics. Normally the writers are very heavy handed in delivering their stance on…
