The Review at the End of the Universe
“The Ex-Factor” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow infiltrates a singing competition and forces two of the characters to confront feelings they have been wilfully denying. We all know what this show does by now. It manufactures a situation that is well fixed for some hijinks and weaves strong character stories around it. Ava even practically dictates…
“Meat: The Legends” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow heads back to the 1950s to investigate alien intervention in the birth of fast food. It remains to be seen whether the shift to aliens as antagonists for this season will end up being a good choice or not but for now the show remains committed to being…
“Ground Control to Sara Lance” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow returns for a sixth season with an alien abduction and Ava taking on the role of hungover leader to sort it out. Of all the Arrowverse shows this is unquestionably the most fun. I’ve repeatedly said that there’s so much about it that sounds utterly ludicrous on…
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow recently completed its fifth season which prompted a conversation on Kneel Before Pod. The team discusses typical lunacy, the merits of free will and how drunk you’d have to be to not notice someone being abducted by aliens right in front of you. Craig can be found on this very site,…
“Swan Thong” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow wraps up its fifth season with questions about free will and changes to the team roster. Once again this shows wraps up a season with its own brand of lunacy. After escaping various syndicated TV prisons at the end of the previous episode the team now have to get…
“The One Where We’re Trapped on TV” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow lampoons various popular TV shows when Charlie puts the team into them in order to protect them from her sisters. I’m not sure how many times I’ve said this or how many more times I’ll say this but there are things this show gets…
“I Am Legends” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow maroons the team outside London in the middle of a Zombie Apocalypse as the clock ticks down on their temporary immortality. More than anything else this episode is about the inevitability of death. No matter what someone does to avoid or cheat death it remains the natural end…
“Freaks and Greeks” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow has the team going back to college because the only way to progress in their quest to rewrite fate is to navigate the Greek system. I’m from Scotland so the Fraternity/Sorority system is all Greek to me -pun intended- which means that I find it difficult to connect…
“Ship Broken” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow assembles the loom of fate and deals with a threat from within the Waverider. Even placeholder episodes of this show are immensely fun. In other shows an episode like this would represent a forgettable holding pattern as the hunt for the plot device is over but it isn’t quite…
“The Great British Fake Off” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow continues the hunt for the Loom of Fate with a Constantine/Zari collaboration and a trip to Hell for Ava. The previous episode promised an engaging John and Zari team-up and then this episode wasted no time in delivering it. They both have strongly defined motivations with…
