The Review at the End of the Universe
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow recently completed its fourth season and we continue our Arrowverse end of season coverage with a conversation. We talk magical theme parks, domestic purgatory and impromptu Bollywood dance numbers. Craig can be found on this very site, Andrew’s work can be found on the Starburst website and in physical magazines that…
“Terms of Service” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow gears up for the season finale by raising the stakes for everyone concerned taking stock of character choices leading to this point. One of the more immediate problems is Gary. His desire to be loved and accepted by the Legends has made him accidentally dangerous as he acts…
“Nip/Stuck” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow picks up the pieces following the team learning about Neron possessing Ray and try to figure out their next move. One of the major strengths of this show is the constant focus on characters and the unflinching commitment to have the story flow from them. This isn’t always true but…
“Egg MacGuffin” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow deals with the Ray possession plot, continues to develop the Nate/Zari relationship and gives Mick’s role as a writer attention. “Egg MacGuffin” is one of those episodes where it’s hard to put a pin in what it’s actually about because the focus is spread pretty evenly between all of…
“The Eggplant, the Witch and the Wardrobe” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow splits the team into groups to tackle separate yet connected plots that revolve around Neron.

Recent episodes have been setting up the possibility of a Nate/Zari romance in the true CW tradition of them just happening to…
“The Getaway” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow takes the team back to 1973 to make sure that Nixon tells his historic lies so that the timeline can be preserved. The truth has often been a problem in Arrowverse shows. Characters tend to keep vital information from one another in order to manufacture drama a d divide…
“Let the Good Times Roll” Supernatural ends its thirteenth season with the arrival of Michael into “our” world an further exploration of the Lucifer/Jack dynamic. I mentioned last week that I had no idea what this season finale would be about and I certainly could never have predicted what would come to pass here. The…
“Exodus” Supernatural delivers the long awaited meeting between Jack and his father Lucifer as the Winchesters consider their options when it comes to helping those in the alternate universe. Much of this season has been focused on the notion of family which has been a recurring theme on this show since it began. What defines…
“Good Intentions” Supernatural returns to the alternate world as Sam and Dean are still trying to find a way to get there in order to rescue Mary and Jack. We haven’t seen the alternate world since Jack made his way there back in “The Bad Place” so returning to it was definitely on the cards….
