The Review at the End of the Universe
The Arrowverse takes its winter break once again so Kneel Before Pod is here to discuss the goings on in all 4 shows. As often happens the discussion was too large to be contained in a single outing so it was split down the middle with the first part covering Supergirl/The Flash and part 2…
“Beebo the God of War” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow takes the team to England to battle toy worshipping Vikings as they deal with the recent loss of a team member. You might be forgiven for expecting this episode to be more on the glum side considering the recent loss of Martin Stein. As I said…
This year’s Arrowverse crossover has been and gone so Kneel Before Pod had to contribute to the discussion. Craig and Chris take up the task of talking through this historic TV event and have a great time doing it. The conversation covers the story, evil doppelgängers, headcanon, comic book events, use of characters and a…
DC’s Crisis on Earth-X continues with our heroes separated and captured by Nazis with little hope of rescue or escape. Going into the third part the situation is grim. Oliver, Barry, Sara, Alex, Jax and Martin are stuck in an Earth-X concentration camp while Team Arrow, Cisco, Caitlin, Harry and Kara are trapped in the…

“Helen Hunt” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow heads back to 1930s Hollywood as the team track down an anachronism in the form of Helen of Troy herself. Probably the best known historical fact about Helen of Troy is that she was considered unimaginably beautiful. The phrase “the face that launched a thousand ships” comes up a…
“Return of the Mack” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow starts to build the main threat of the season when the team find themselves in the midst of a Vampire hunt. The opening of this episode suggested that it might be another fun romp. The foggy London backdrop, riffs on Sherlock Holmes and the intrigue caused by…
“Phone Home” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow heavily references E.T. when the team embark on a mission to save Ray Palmer from being killed in 1988. When watching this show you have two choices. You can either go with what it has to offer or live in frustration with the silliness that peppers every episode. I…
“Zari” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow brings a new recruit to the team and shows a bleak possible future banning religion and Metahumans. Warped alternate futures are the bread and butter of time travel stories because they’re an easy concept to capture the imagination of the viewer. The hard part is making them engaging enough to…
