We’ve reached the midpoint of the… Season? Series? and the situation grows increasingly bleak for the men of the expedition–
–at least, for the ones who remain alive.

The Expanse returns! Season Two improved on Season One, establishing the show as possibly the best, more-or-less pure SF series on television.

This week, the disasters, climaxes, and seasons reach their peak before they Don’t Continue for the summer. We see the Flash finally return as our Legends wrap up their season, Black Lightning gives us the penultimate episode for its inaugural season. On Legends, we see everything you’d predict from a season finale. Flash shows us how different Barry and Ralph are. Black Lightning sets up our Tobias fight. Krypton has Seg consider joining terrorists. Arrow shows us just how much Oliver is screwing up.

The Terror: “The Ladder” and “Punished, as a Boy”
JD DeLuzio TV Series 0 Comments
We’ll have a review next week, after the season/series’ midpoint. For those of you who need to discuss the increasingly horrific and brutal sage and its increasingly horrific implications, we have this post.
Episodes three and four bring us Northern Lights, reflections on Imperialism and exploration, flogging, an increasingly active monster, and an increasingly isolated leader.

This week is a week off for half of the Arrowverse, but special guest Denethor Crashes the Legend’s episode as John Noble appears and pretends to be the voice of the character he voices. I think the Legends are turning “meta” into a weapon. Black Lightning reaches the painful point of his allegory. Supergrandpa begins his new job. Meanwhile, Arrow showcases dating woes.

I got a bit distracted this week with work, so please excuse any delayed conversation that I have caused. On Lucifer, Maze goes bad. Well, Maze goes back to being evil… er? The Legends find out Ava’s secret origin. Black Lightning works with the children more, Arrow is not working with the Avenger’s villain, but some new Deadly Contractors. On Krypton, Supergrandpa adjust to his new life as an orphan.

Like the universe we inhabit, the DC television universe expands beyond its Defined Constraints. Instead of just the CW, we are now branched out to Syfy and to CW Seed. While a decent chunk of our heroes enjoy their vacation, Lucifer takes a back seat to C̵l̵a̵r̵k̵ ̵K̵e̵n̵t̵ Pierce, Legends has the best pun of a show title yet, while Black Lightning enjoys some quality time with the family. Out in deep space, Krypton begins to end, and we get a heaping helping of John Constantine.

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning April 15th
`Lex Pendragon Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, Superman/Smallville, The Flash, TV Series 6 Comments
On the CW, we are Dropping Content as the seasons come to a close, so I have revamped these posts to include some more comic television! I am not going to say I got everything based on a comic, but I added the ones I watch. If there’s another comic show you like, please comment and I’ll include it. I’ll throw any streaming series up as they show up.
For our Debut Catalog, Lucifer thinks he is going on nocturnal missions, Supergirl returns bringing Laurie Metcalf with her. The Flash continues fighting against intelligence, Black Lightning ends his first season with a showdown of black vs. white, Supergranad is still trapped in a terrorist cell, and Arrow has expanding businesses.
From the House of Ideas, Legion is still crazy (and that description probably won’t change) and the Agents take a trip to Rome to stop Malficent’s daughter from breaking the world. In Riverdale, the “teens” get prepare to put on their bloody musical.
