Supergirl 4.09 Recap: “This Is Kind of Becoming an Annual Thing, Huh?”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 13 Dec 2018 13:00:50 +0000

This year’s DC crossover extravaganza, Elseworlds, concludes on Supergirl and, as you’d expect, our heroes largely set thing straight in the multiverse. (Whoops, is that a spoiler? Nah, you figured that part out already, didn’t you?) Having rewritten reality again, John Deegan (Jeremy Davies) narrates over the episode’s opening credits. In this new world of...

Arrow 7.09 Recap: “Would Hitching a Ride in the Batmobile Be Out of the Question?”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 12 Dec 2018 13:00:44 +0000

The Elseworlds event continues on Arrow. In a lot of ways, the second part of the crossover serves as a backdoor pilot for next year’s upcoming new DC Arrowverse spinoff. No matter, it works well enough and even makes me want to watch that show. Barry Allen and Oliver Queen are still stuck in each...

The Flash 5.09 Recap: “What a Total Freaky Friday!”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 11 Dec 2018 13:00:55 +0000

The Flash switches nights with Supergirl this week to kick off the season’s big DC crossover event, called Elseworlds. Last year’s Crisis on Earth-X was a lot of fun and set a high bar for this one to clear. Fortunately, the start seems promising. In comparison to the last crossover, Elseworlds is slightly scaled back,...

‘The Flash’ 3.17 Recap: “Things Really Are Easier in Musicals”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 23 Mar 2017 12:00:16 +0000

Points for this much: This week’s big musical extravaganza crossover with ‘Supergirl’ considerably lightens the mood from the dreary misery-fest that ‘The Flash’ has been for much of this season. I appreciate that, even if the episode is pretty silly. Episode ‘Duets’ takes a break from the usual moaning about Savitar and Iris’ impending death....

‘The Flash’ 3.08 Recap: “Best. Team-up. Ever!”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 30 Nov 2016 22:09:44 +0000

‘The Flash’ takes a break from dealing with Alchemy and Savitar this week to join ‘Supergirl’, ‘Arrow’ and the ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ on a much-hyped four-night crossover event that, let’s be honest, didn’t actually start until Night 2. ‘Heroes vs. Aliens’ technically began on Monday night’s episode of ‘Supergirl’. However, the crossover part of that...

‘Supergirl’ 2.01 Recap: “I’ve Dreamt of This Moment”

Shannon Nutt — Wed, 12 Oct 2016 16:00:56 +0000

It’s a night of firsts as ‘Supergirl’ soars into her second season. For starters, she’s swept on over to The CW, leaving her former home at CBS and also moving the production to Vancouver (which means a few new-looking sets). Perhaps more importantly for fans, the Season 2 premiere guest stars the Man of Steel...

‘Supergirl’ 1.20 Recap: “You Saved the World… and I Saved You”

Shannon Nutt — Tue, 19 Apr 2016 16:00:10 +0000

Even though it has yet to be officially renewed by CBS (although it’s hard to believe it won’t be), ‘Supergirl’ flies boldly through its first season finale, acting like this story is far from over. The show even leaves fans with a cliffhanger to mull over the summer. Things pick up right where they left...

‘Supergirl’ 1.02 Recap: “You Have the Heart of a Hero”

Shannon Nutt — Tue, 03 Nov 2015 20:00:28 +0000

After a pretty strong pilot episode, the big question going into Episode 2 of ‘Supergirl’ was whether the show would continue to fly or would take a nose dive into mediocrity. Well, not only is this second entry pretty solid, I actually liked it a bit more than the premiere. As things get underway this...

‘Supergirl’ Pilot Recap: “The World Needs You to Fly”

Shannon Nutt — Tue, 27 Oct 2015 19:00:53 +0000

After plenty of promotion by CBS, ‘Supergirl’ finally took flight this week in a one-hour premiere that I might have enjoyed a whole lot more if the show-runners didn’t feel the need to cram so much into it. It took ‘Smallville’ ten seasons to cover what ‘Supergirl’ gives us in one episode. The pilot begins...

‘Glee’-Cap 4.01: “Impress Me”

Josh Zyber — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 17:00:28 +0000

Now on Thursdays, ‘Glee’ returned for a fourth season last week, and I’m sure that a lot of people out there are asking why it bothered. After last year’s lackluster, sometimes downright terrible season, not to mention that flop 3D concert film, the show felt more than ever like a flash-in-the-pan that had already burned...
