The Review at the End of the Universe
The latest edition of Kneel Before Pod brought together me (Craig) and Chris to talk about the recent TV crossover event that brought together The Flash, Arrow, Supergirl and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow to take on invading aliens. It was exciting to see how these characters would work together in a sprawling story that takes…
“What We Leave Behind” Arrow returns to the Prometheus story as his attack on Team Arrow escalates in a significant way. There’s a meme going around questioning if season 6 of Arrow will have flashbacks from season 1. This episode shows that this is almost a possibility but also that it can work really well….
“The Laws of Inferno Dynamics” Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD brings Robbie’s conflict with Eli to a head as Aida’s true nature becomes much clearer. Robbie’s quest for vengeance has been the driving force of the opening arc of this season and it has been handled really well. Gabriel Luna has been great as Robbie Reyes…
“The Present” The Flash moves away from the alien craziness last week and returns to handling its own problems. Revealing that Alchemy is actually Julian under the mask two episodes ago was a really boring and predictable twist that made the world this show inhabits feel hilariously small but this episode does some work to…
“Sing Me A Song” The latest episode of The Walking Dead was a lot better than it has been recently, particularly as they dropped the annoying habit of only telling the story of either one person or a small group of people per episode. We got to see a few more characters in “Sing me…
“Lost Kingdom” Thunderbirds Are Go sends Thunderbird 4 to the lost city of Atlantis when a wayward explorer puts himself in danger. This season really has had a lot of Thunderbird 4 and that is definitely a positive thing for purely selfish reasons. I’ve mentioned many times that Thunderbird 4 is my personal favourite so…
“An Inside Man” Star Wars Rebels returns to Lothal so that the team can infiltrate an Imperial factory to steal plans for a new weapon. On the surface this plot feels like standard Star Wars stuff. There’s a Star Wars film coming out in a couple of weeks that has this exact premise but this…
“Rock Never Dies” Supernatural lets Lucifer strike back and take the spotlight as he tries to use his latest vessel to gain new followers. Lucifer likes to be worshipped and adored by as many people as possible so connecting that to the notion of celebrity and how the public follows famous people is really natural…
“Invasion!” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow finishes off the “Invasion!” crossover event with a direct conflict against the Dominators. Many would say that this event isn’t what it was hyped to be and I suppose that’s accurate. It was being billed as a massive crossover where the heroes team up to fight aliens which suggests a…
“Invasion!” Arrow brings its contribution to the crossover event while celebrating the 100 episode milestone by looking back. Having the 100th episode fall in the middle of a crossover event must have been a challenging prospect for the writers as there’s the need to celebrate the legacy that the show has created while moving the…
