The Review at the End of the Universe
“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…
Autumn -or Fall- means one thing for many of us; the return of our favourite shows to TV. Craig and Chris got together to discuss the return of all 4 DC TV shows also known to some as the Arrowverse. The Discussion covers all 4 in turn and features attempted attempts to summarise the episode…
“Freakshow” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow heads back to 1870 on a mission to prove the team’s worth by dealing with an anachronism at P.T. Barnum‘s (Billy Zane) Circus. The anachronism in question is a caged Sabre-toothed Tiger brought out to perform for eager crowds. Last week suggested that the broken time plot had been largely…
“Aruba-Con” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow returns for a third season and confronts the characters with the prospect of dealing with broken time. It’s always frustrating when a great cliffhanger has a really underwhelming conclusion. A corrupted version of Los Angeles where unexpected structures like Pyramids can be found right next to skyscrapers and Dinosaurs roam…
The DC TV Universe -sometimes referred to as the Arrowverse or the Berlantiverse- will soon return for another dose of superhero insanity. Before that happens; Kneel Before Pod just do a series of episodes on the previous seasons. Next up is DC’s Legends of Tomorrow where Craig and Chris do a quick round-up of their…
“Aruba” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow closes off season 2 with a radical plan to stop the Legion of Doom from changing reality using the Spear of Destiny. I’ve criticised both this show and The Flash in the past for their inconsistent time travel rules. Broadly speaking the rules seem to be whatever the writers want to use…
“Doomworld” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow heads into an alternate reality after the Legion of Doom use the Spear of Destiny to create the perfect world for them. It turns out that their perfect world isn’t all that different from the regular one. They decide to call 2017 their home time despite having all of history…
“Fellowship of the Spear” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow heads to World War I to recruit J.R.R. Tolkien (Jack Turner) to help them destroy the Spear of Destiny before it falls into the hands of the Legion of Doom. Everything about that summary seems completely ridiculous yet it is swiftly becoming the norm for this show….
