Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning June 10th, 2018

Superman/Smallville, TV Series 2 Comments

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

Superman/Smallville, TV Series 3 Comments

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.]

The Expanse: “Delta V”

TV Series

The Expanse may be saved by Amazon, and we may yet see another season. If we don’t, at least we have the remainder of Season Three, which plays like the start of a new season. Months have passed since the events depicted in “Immolation,” humans are trying to work together, our ragtag band of heroes have been, to some degree, separated, multiple new characters appear, and the protomolecule’s machinations have fabricated a vast and bewildering mystery object.

Arrow, Superman/Smallville, The Flash, TV Series

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.

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning May 6th

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Arrow, Superman/Smallville, The Flash, TV Series

Another week as we get to the end of our seasons, with a few penultimate and anti-penultimate episodes.  Don’t Count on these posts stopping, though, as we have shows until June.  Lucifer attempts to get back to normal after Pierce and Cloe’s events last episode, Supergirl uses Jimmy against his girlfriend, The Flash keeps its title pun game strong,  Supergrandpa has to fight the brainy voice, and Arrow’s villain goes for the friends and family plan.

I have no idea what’s happening on Legion because the descriptions are very vague.  Watching the episode only has a fifty/fifty chance of it being any clearer.  On SHIELD, we get get more time with a surprisingly accurate Graviton.  In Riverdale, (no, the other Riverdale,) things don’t stay civil as the gangs go to war.

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning April 30th

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Arrow, Superman/Smallville, The Flash, TV Series

To start with, the universe expands again as DC has decided to start their own streaming service, and will be starting with Swamp Thing.  The existing shows continue unabated and show no signs of Dropping Coverage of their defined corners. Lucifer’s ladies enjoy a bachelorette party, Supergirl does Outbreak, The Flash guest stars Cisco’s girlfriend, Supergrandpa continues the dystopia of Krypton, and Oliver starts to recognize how useless a quiver of one is.

The House of Ideas gives us a heartbreaking return to corporeality on Legion and the Agents goes back to aliens.  Allegiances shift in Riverdale so the “Archie” relations become even less recognizable.
