The Review at the End of the Universe
Supergirl recently completed its fourth season which warrants a chat from the team at Kneel Before Pod. We talk factory settings Brainy, the power of the press and Alien Dragons. Craig can be found on this very site, Andrew’s work can be found on the Starburst website and in physical magazines that can be found…
“Red Dawn” Supergirl finally brings Kara face to face with her evil twin as Ben Lockwood begins to realise that he is yet another pawn in Lex’ master plan. This season of Supergirl has certainly been eventful, perhaps too eventful. Anti-alien tensions have dominated the storytelling but within that there existed a confusingly problematic Manchester…

“Compromised” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow heads back to the 1980s to stop Damien Darhk from stockpiling Nuclear Warheads. Heading back to the 1980s seems problematic at first because the show has already explored that decade and revisiting it could be a sign of running out of ideas but this episode proves that there is plenty…
