After boring us with a filler episode for the second episode of the season, The Gifted comes back strong with multiple plot points happening this week, including the introduction of The Morlocks to the XTVU.1

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning 7th October 2018
**blows Dust Cumulation off of discussion posts**
Woah, the new season is racing in, as The Flash, Black Lightning, and Riverdale join The Gifted as our weekly TV shows, and catching me off guard because I wasn’t paying attention. I am leaving out our animated shows, but let me know if anyone is watching any of them enough to include them. I don’t think we get any new Netflix shows until The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina joins us on the 26th.

The Gifted – unMoored
The Gifted continues with its second episode, but it does seem to hit the wall. My wife described this episode as “Filler”, which seems to fit last seasons pacing, but is not very good for the second episode of the season to be chained down so quickly.
The Gifted – eMergence
Season 2 of The Gifted drops like a newborn, and drops the X titles in favor of the M because of the Mutant on Mutant drama. Our first episode fast forwards us six months to set the stage for this season’s story.
Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning June 17th, 2018
As Supergir’s Delayed Cap to season three hits, DC leaves for their summer vacation, just in time as Cloak & Dagger might actually work together this episode. Meanwhile, if you thought that you finally would have some free time, Luke Cage drops from Harlem (or Netflix) to take up your entire weekend on Friday!

Incredibles 2 – The Bureau42 Review
Fourteen years after the last movie, Incredibles 2 picks up immediately where the previous one left off. Does it capture the same magic and quality? Is Brad Bird still the best writer/director the Fantastic Four have had? Does a lack of the definite article hamper the title at all?
My nine year old (Inara) thought it was awesome. My five year old (Majel) thought the fights were scary, but the rest was alright. My twenty year old (Raven) texted “It was incredible.” My forty-year old man thoughts are below the cut.
Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning June 10th, 2018
The shows continue to dwindle as Legion pretends to be the X-Files instead of the X-Men for his finale, and Legend and the Flash’s episode titler was bored with the end of those seasons and brings the pun game to Supergirl. Cloak & Dagger explorer alternative religions. In the world of ink and paint, where Big Hero 6 explore an EMP, and Spider-Man returns from his hiatus.

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning June 3rd 2018
I typically wouldn’t include animation, but if I didn’t, there would only be two shows to mention. Supergirl decides to vacation on a chunk of her homeworld while the rest of the crew have an After-School special reminding us that guns are bad, and Legion might actually reveal some things as we near the end of the season. Also, Legion got Season 3.
Also, feel free to be drawn into Big Hero 6’s television show. Let us know if it’s worth a few moments to watch it (and to continue mentioning it here.)
[ETA: I somehow missed Cloak and Dagger, it’s been added to this list.]

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning May 27th
The Dwindling Chapters leave us with two specials for Lucifer, (which is still canceled as far as I can find). Otherwise, Supergirl is surprised to see that Krypton was renewed. On the other side of the aisle, Legion… He’s still beautiful and crazy.

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning May 20th
Much less to watch this week, with even more finales. Lucifer is gone, but next Monday we will get an extra two episodes that they filmed for season four. Ariel Dubois turns up to give Supergirl a hard time. The Flash races into DeVoe’s Cranium. Supergrandpa hits the bottle, and Legion figures out what he wants to do any gets on with it. Arrow was listed as having more episodes on the source I used, but Wikipedia believes the season is over, and the previous episode did seem pretty final.
