The Review at the End of the Universe
“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…
“Zari, Not Zari” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow continues the quest for the pieces of the Loom of Fate as Zari gets in touch with her former self. I’ve missed a couple of reviews of this show. Eventually I did have the time to catch up but the relevance was gone so I didn’t feel it…
“Mortal Khanbat” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow displaces Genghis Khan to 90s Hong Kong and has John Constantine deal with his own mortality. One thing I often praise about this show is its unique ability to juggle a large cast, different tones and plots that couldn’t be more different. Everything typically links together almost seamlessly making…
“A Head of Her Time” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow sends the team to a party in Revolutionary France as John confronts uncomfortable personal truths. This season’s main plot very much revolves around John Constantine and his history. At the moment it feels like he’s in another show that’s running parallel to the exploits of the…
“Slay Anything” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow takes a stab at delivering its own take on the slasher genre when the team deal with a serial killer escaped from Hell. It was only a matter of time before this show tackled the Slasher genre given its love for all things meta. Slasher films lend themselves to…
“Miss Me, Kiss Me, Love Me” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow takes the team to 1947 Los Angeles to track down the latest “encore” as Nate tries to figure out the mystery of the woman he remembers. Sara points out in this episode that they’re dealing with a problem that isn’t actually their fault. This is…
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…
“Meet the Legends” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow returns with a mockumentary style episode and a taste of what to expect over the coming season. There’s no denying that this show operates on a different level to the other Arrowverse shows with its own unique style that sets it apart in the best possible way. Nothing…
