Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning 10 February 2019

February 11, 2019

Lots missing items in our Comic Television Discussion, but we do have three DC shows this week, with Arrow, Flash and Black Lightning all dealing with their children. Is this evidence that the super heroes on television are being targeted at the geeky kids of decades gone but now-grown-up and dealing with their children? The Gifted also returns, as Reeva goes on a rampage and we get a Morlocks and Purifiers rumble.

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning 13 January 2019

January 15, 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.

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning 16th December 2018

December 17, 2018

The dark of the year has hit the shows, while only the darkest (Titans) is still working this year. In case you missed it last week, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina revives the tradition of yuletide ghost stories for the longest night of the year, but otherwise we get a nice long festive break.

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning 9nd December 2018

December 9, 2018

The big Elseworlds crossover event happens, but apparently is happening without the Legends this year as it’s just The Flash, then Arrow, then Supergirl, and some other DC big names. Meanwhile, Legends try to keep secrets, and Black Lightning get into the holiday spirit. Titans gets back to our core cast and examine some aliens. Marvel takes the rest of the year off, but Archie does double duty as the Gryphons & Gargoyles affects more people. Also, Sabrina returns for a holiday special, since 🎼🎵It’s beginning to look a lot like Sol-stice🎶!

December 5, 2018

First story’s are wrapping up in preparation for next week’s crossover in the DCETVU¹, and at least for the two first two shows, we get a bonus scene apparently set in the Flash of the past. Supergirl has Manchester Black meet his nemesis. Arrow shows us how Oliver readjusts to his new, post-incarceration status quo. The Legends gives us Constantine’s backstory and some interpersonal drama. The Flash, the current one, goes back to the past, but not the 90s past. Black Lightning and the Lightning family discover the Lightning Teen’s disappearance. Titans revisit the Hawk and Dove back when they weren’t heroes. In the mutant corner of Marvel’s television promises some major shake-ups. In the dark television version of Riverdale, we get a man dressing to match their tone.
