Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning April 30th

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.

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning April 23th

 

There’s a big name documentary about how conflicts continue forever because groups of people are constantly seeking to address wrongs that didn’t actually happen to them coming out in theater this week, and I have been distracted by that.  However, their Dark Cousins are still on television.  Our favorite devil takes in a ballet, our second favorite Girl of Steel takes on her boss’s dad’s mind, one of the speedsters invites a favorite guest star back to keep up the strongest pun/title game since Legends’ season finishes, Supergrandpa sings lead for a Guns ‘n Roses hit, and Arrow has to find some new teammates.

The Marvelous shows give us more trippy confusion on Legion (this time, from Syd) and the Agents face Die Hard in a Lighthouse.  The teens who borrowed their names from Archie comics have a violent manhunt and rage against the police.

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning April 15th

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.

DC Television Week 20 Discussion

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.

DC Television Week 19 Discussion

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.

DC Television Week 18 Discussion

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.

DC Television Week 17 Discussion

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.

DC Television Week 16 Discussion

The Date Convention I have been using isn’t that accurate as it was when there only four shows and were starting at the same time.  This week, we get to see Lucifer act as a groupie for a superstar, The Legends visit one of the first big superstars, The Flash swaps out with Iris so she can be super, Black Lightning deals with his family and their super powers, and we get a preview of the new super show Krypton.  (Arrow and Supergirl are still taking a break from being super.)

DC Television Week 15 Discussion

The Daft Characters of our shows continue their separate story lines.  Lucifer gives the scientific method a try.  Legends visits a 60’s era crime drama, Flash has a stopped time episode, Black Lightning develops its new hero, and while I haven’t seen it at the time of its airing, I have to wonder if the title of this episode of Arrow spoils the episode.

DC Television Week 14 Discussion

We get to resume the Dramas, Carrying on with most of the shows.  Lucifer returns to the hallowed halls of high school, the Legends play pirate, the Flash gives us the long awaited Subject sequel, Black Lightning makes some noise, and Arrow is headed right for other arrows.
