Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning 21 January 2019

January is screeching past us as the third week of the year is already over.  As we stride into the end of the month, the comics start seriously returning to television.  Supergirl fights to keep the name Carol Danvers from being popular, The Flash gets angry, Arrow tries to chill out, and the Legends and Black Lightning are without a synopsis.  The Gifted gets sleepy.  Riverdale prepares for their college prep tests, because those kids are actually high-schoolers, surprise!  The Punisher has released Season 2 for Netflix, and as of this posting has not been cancelled yet.  While not technically a comic, out in space the Discovery and the Orville also share a nigh of television which really highlights the differences between the two shows.

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning 13 January 2019

Oh, there you are!  The midwinter break has come to a close and we are seeing the regular comic television return.  The Gifted weathered the winter weather better than others, even if the Bureau42 reviews did not.  That Reviewer really needs to stop messing with time lines and just post the reviews already.  The Flash has raced back to us first, with what is sure to be some sound uses of physics and technology.  Arrow thought he was out, but is pulled back in.  The Gifted has the Mutant Underground reorganize, and the Riverdale teens deal with Veronica’s father’s takeover.

Also, Netflix is giving us Season 2 of The Punisher before the inevitable annunciation of its cancellation, and in case you wanted something non-comic related, there’s a new Star Trek: Discovery.  Though if you wanted something non-comic related, you probably are in the wrong thread.

Star Trek Discovery: The War Without, The War Within

The Eagles pull an upset victory over the Patriots, as….

Right. Star Trek. Well, once again, we have a show that delivers a good deal of excitement and high production values. In what sense it constitutes a prequel remains an open question, or, perhaps, a question best left ignored forever.

The episode sets up a desperate and, at least, interesting war mission for next week.

We have a place to discuss the episode here. Or, if you prefer, the Super Bowl.
