The Flash “King Shark”

B. Simmons February 24, 2016

The Flash promised us some more King Shark last week, and they delivered. Along with as many Jaws related jokes as they could reasonably cram into an hour long program. Everyone is still reeling...

Supergirl “Truth, Justice and the American Way”

B. Simmons February 23, 2016

Supergirl took a week off. Which was fine by me; the start of the year in general hit like a truck. And there’s the added bonus that it tends to come back from little...

Transformers: Robots in Disguise “Overloaded, Part 1”

B. Simmons February 21, 2016

It’s been a while since I’ve had an episode of Transformers: Robots in Disguise. It turns out that Will Friedle was favoriting some of those earlier reviews I wrote. I’m certain I’ll find some...

Star Wars Rebels “Homecoming”

B. Simmons February 18, 2016

Star Wars Rebels likes to keep connected to Clone Wars. Which makes sense, as most of the crew between the two shows happens to be the same. Anyway, they decided to bring Cham Syndulla...

The Flash “Escape From Earth-2”

B. Simmons February 17, 2016

The Flash picks up right where it left off last week; Barry caught, zoom aware of Harry’s presence, and a whole bunch of dead Earth-2 counterparts. Why, it’s almost like they’re killing them off...

Star Wars Rebels “The Call”

B. Simmons February 11, 2016

Star Wars Rebels dropped some space whales on us. Literal space whales. The entire episode may as well have been the sort of thing that you’d find on a black light poster. The Ghost...

The Flash “Welcome to Earth-2”

B. Simmons February 10, 2016

The Flash promised Earth-2, and it delivered Earth-2. And gave us a few references. And a twist or two for good measure. Barry goes around shutting all of the breaches with the device he...

Supergirl “For the Girl Who Has Everything”

B. Simmons February 9, 2016

So this episode of Supergirl is a bit interesting. They decided to adapt a Superman story (one originally written by Alan Moore, no less) for an episode. I’ll take “Things Alan Moor Probably Hates...

Star Wars Rebels “Legends of the Lasat”

B. Simmons February 5, 2016

Star Wars Rebels established pretty early on that Zeb is sort of a “last of his kind” deal. In a technical sense, he is. You know, from a certain point of view. No, I...

Star Wars Rebels “The Protector of Concord Dawn”

B. Simmons February 5, 2016

Star Wars Rebels sort of reconstructs a large number of things that years of the extended universe broke. Like the Mandalorians. Clone Wars deconstructed them, almost certainly to tweak Karen Traviss’s nose, by having...

The Flash “Fast Lane”

B. Simmons February 3, 2016

I know what you’re thinking, but no. The title has nothing to do with either one of the Lane sisters becoming a speedster, nor The Eagles song “Life in the Fast Lane”. Or a...

Supergirl “Bizarro”

B. Simmons February 3, 2016

You know I really do have to applaud them for this one. I genuinely never really understood the appeal of the Bizarro characters. Yes, seriously. Were I pressed to explain why, it would probably...
