The Review at the End of the Universe
“The Book of Ruin: Chapter One: “Picking Up the Pieces” Black Lightning begins a new arc with the Pierce family working to pull themselves together both literally and figuratively. The previous episode ended with Jennifer exploding during another trip to the Ionosphere. This outing wastes no time in dealing with the fallout of this with…
“The Book of Reconstruction: Chapter 4: “A Light In the Darkness” Black Lightning continues to explore the rifts that exist between the characters while looking to make steps forward as it heads into its next arc. The opening arc of this season has been very strong on the whole with intimate looks into what the…
“The Book of Reconstruction Chapter 3: Despite All My Rage…” Black Lightning delivers a fight club episode as Lynn starts to understand the root of her addiction and Jennifer worries about her public image. It’s fair to say that the final season so far has been a slow burn but that’s not a bad thing…
“The Book of Reconstruction: Chapter Two: Unacceptable Losses” Black Lightning continues to explore the fractured Pierce family dynamic as the situation in Freeland continues to deteriorate. Two episodes into the season it’s clear that a major theme for at least the first arc of the season is grief. This is framed through Jefferson but the…
“The Book of Reconstruction: Chapter One: Collateral Damage” Black Lightning returns for its fourth and final season that starts with reflecting on the events of the previous one to set up what the characters need to overcome. I haven’t reviewed this show since just over midway through season two. Real life got on top of…
The CW mega crossover, Crisis on Infinite Earths concluded in January so Kneel Before Pod is here to finish discussing it. As always the discussion covers a range of topics such as multiverse clean-up, giant stuffed toys and oversized villains. Craig can be found on this very site, Andrew’s work can be found on the…
Crisis on Infinite Earths delivers a double feature for its conclusion starting with the Paragons trying to figure out a way to restore all that has been lost. Annoyingly, The CW opted to air the finale of this landmark crossover event on the same night which causes significant headaches for this reviewer. I’ve decided to…
The CW’s mega crossover event Crisis on Infinite Earths has aired its 2019 episodes so Kneel Before Pod makes a triumphant return to discuss it in the usual detail. The discussion covers the ambition of the event, cameos, hopes for future cameos, theories for January and the strength of Shadow Demons. Craig can be found…
Crisis on Infinite Earths wraps up for 2019 with some difficult choices and a race against time to save what’s left of the multiverse. As someone who writes reviews of most of the shows that make up this ever growing shared multiverse I should be used to tall orders in terms of what my viewing…
“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…
