So did every day have to be interesting? Was God an entertainer?
–“The Missing Word”
Alan Weiss has published a number of stories in different genres, and many academic papers. This new collection concerns an itinerant wizard and his faithful, if not always amiable, horse.
Arrow takes us to “Monument Point” this week, while the Legends face their “Destiny.” Here’s the place for you to review or discuss either or both.
The Flash did something quite revolutionary in this ep. Barry Allen is dead, and he has been replaced by…
Okay, we knew Barry wasn’t actually dead. In fact, the Kevin Smith-directed ep reveals early on that Barry has been trapped in the Speed Force, as his associates deal with an old foe who has, zombie-like, returned from the dead.

Even more so than usual, the last two episodes of 12 Monkeys cannot be understood separately of each other. The first half of “Emergence” revisits “One Hundred Years,” as Cole and Railly try to prevent a time-paradox from occurring in 1944. Dr. Jones takes mind-expanding tea with Jennifer Goines, and we learn the Monkeys’ ostensible goal– and the origin of the Pallid Man.
Apart from being the opening weekend for Captain America: Civil War, it’s the weekend of Free Comic Book Day. Here’s how it looked in my neighbourhood:
Check out the ’89 Batmobile.
The two most recent episodes, “Leviathan” and “River of Time,” see Vandal Savage captured– and the Time Masters’ duplicity revealed.
The Legends now face their biggest challenge: with the Avengers back in the theatres, does anyone care?
We learn the purpose of the Neolutionists and the implants as Felix and the Hendrixes infiltrate a Neolutionist-connected clinic, Sarah and Dizzy track down MK, Rachel and Charlotte are exposed, and Ferdinand finds himself on the hot seat.
Two clones exit the show, for the present.
A crash course in magic from Esrin Fortuna (Gabriella Wright) gives Ollie some defense against Darhk, Dig makes a critical decision, and Speedy finds herself under the dome.
More importantly, the Team learns Darhk’s endgame.
I’m still playing catch-up after Ad Astra, so we’re doing a mini-review (a Flash Flash Review?) of this week’s episode. Click for the good, the bad, and the doubtful:
The fourth season delivers an excellent, if queasy, third episode.
