DC doesn’t believe in the fourth week of February, so they have all decided to take it off. The Gifted could see this was coming, and Archie goes back to taking his punches. Are these two going to carry the weight for the week, or is it an excuse to phone it in until everything returns next week?

Regarding the Orville. I started watching it this season, and have been mildly impressed with it. It had some moments that threw me out of the show at times, but the episodes were pretty solid and I got a solid Star Trek TNG vibe while watching.
Although episode 8 changes freaking everything. Damn, that episode is the Orville’s “Best of Both Worlds” (in a good way). Wow, they just dropped the hammer with this one. Talk about hitting your stride, also about setting up for the big twist with one character for one and a half seasons!

They’ll be starting with the next episode.
Is the “allegedly” line in the Legends paragraph just a joke on the April 1st return date, or are there ‘legitimate’ rumors about it not coming back?
That adverb was added because of the date, I have no other reason to suspect it won’t be back.
Manchester Black is on Supergirl? I may have to watch again. The title of this week’s ep is, of course, the title of a fairly famous Superman story involving the Elite, one that probably should be read by anyone adapting the character to film.
They seem to borrow a lot of Superman stuff to re-name/make for Supergirl (Like her race with The Flash.)
