REVIEW: Superman & Lois – Season 2, Episode 9 “30 Days and 30 Nights”

AlexGherzo | Mar 30, 2022 | 0

“30 Days and 30 Nights” is the episode without a Superman, and that it works so well affirms the strength of Superman & Lois’ supporting cast – especially Jon and Jordan, the Kent twins who are becoming almost as compelling as their legendary father. This isn’t a perfect episode – Lo...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 8, Episode 8 “The Fire Next Time”

AlexGherzo | Mar 26, 2022 | 2

The Flash has been (mostly) on a hot streak this season, and “The Fire Next Time” keeps the heat burning. While not a spectacular episode on its face – and marred by a muddled subplot – it’s a great examination of one of the often-overlooked factors that turned Barry into a hero. It’s al...

REVIEW: Superman & Lois – Season 2, Episode 8 “Into Oblivion”

While nothing spectacular happens, “Into Oblivion” is another strong episode, moving the plot and character arcs forward in unexpected ways. It also makes a good argument not just for Superman but for superhero stories in general. Clark struggles to deal with Jonathan’s drug use, and Lois wond...

Maybe The Flash needed a week to get the suck out of its system (give or take the odd Chester scene) because “Lockdown” is a quick return to form. It’s a focused, thematically connected, character-driven episode that manages to be both fun and legitimately funny. And Danielle Panabaker finally...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 8, Episode 6 “Impulsive Excessive Disorder”

AlexGherzo | Mar 10, 2022 | 3

The Flash has been off the air for four months, and to remind us of what we’ve been missing, the series gave us an episode focusing on Barry’s corny kids. Not that a Nora/Bart episode like “Impulsive Excessive Disorder” would have been good at any point in the run, but as the mid-season(ish)...
