The Review at the End of the Universe
“Byzantium” Supernatural continues with the scramble to save Jack as Heaven comes under attack from the entity that runs the Empty. Last week was a really moving exploration of how people deal with the inevitable loss attached to a terminal illness. The overriding message was enjoying the time left and preparing for life without a…
“Hell No, Dolly!” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow dives right into the inner -and outer- Demons of John Constantine as a doll possessing Demon terrorises the crew. It shouldn’t be a surprise at this point but I’m constantly amazed at how this show manages to pull together a collection of ludicrous ideas and weaves them into…
“Tender is the Nate” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow takes the team to 1920s Paris to hunt down a Minotaur and justify their spending to Nate’s father. In the criminally underrated 2010 movie The A-Team, that particular team are described as being the best and specialising in the ridiculous. That description could easily be applied to…
“Tagumo Attacks!!!” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow explores the reluctance that comes with expressing creativity and the fear associated with tapping into potential. The writers of this show are very good at taking two things that really shouldn’t have any connection and finding a way for them to fit seamlessly into complimentary plots that have very…
“Wet Hot American Bummer” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow heads to the 90s for a summer camp adventure to solve the mystery of disappearing kids that spawned a franchise of schlocky horror movies. There’s a reason I prioritise this show over any other show I have to review that day. That reason is the sheer entertainment…
“Dancing Queen” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow has Ray embrace his inner punk as John considers the implications of time travel. The idea of putting a straight shooter like Ray in a situation where he has to deal with a group of anarchists is on paper a really good idea as it’s a complete departure from…
“Witch Hunt” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow takes the team to Salem in 1642 to track down a magical threat This season promises to be as much of a riot as the previous season with magical threats both dangerous and ridiculous challenging the team in hilariously predictable ways. Juggling tone is something this show does particularly…
“The Virgin Gary” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow returns for a fourth season with a smaller team and a further shift towards magic based threats. It’s more than safe to say that pretty much anything goes on this show at this point. Last season ended with a giant Furby knock-off fighting a winged Demon and it…
Season 3 of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow has come to an end so that means Kneel Before Pod has to publish a discussion about it. A small team get together to discuss giant Furbys, Infinity Totems, bad guys turned good turned bad again and the rehabilitation of John Constantine. Craig can be found on this…
“The Good, The Bad and The Cuddly” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow closes off season 3 with a visit to the Old West and a final showdown against the newly released Mallus. Last week finally revealed the true form of Mallus and it was a little bit of a disappointment to have the villain of the…
