REVIEW: Superman & Lois Season 3, Episode 7, “Forever and Always”

AlexGherzo | May 3, 2023 | 0

“Forever and Always” is a step in the right direction for Superman & Lois, especially because it deals more heavily with Bruno Manheim than it has so far. Lois’ cancer diagnosis is also used well, emphasizing the contrast between Clark and Manheim and exploring how her sons feel about her ...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 9, Episode 9, “It’s My Party and I’ll Die if I Want To”

Never let it be said that Barry Allen can’t pull off a miracle. “It’s My Party and I’ll Die if I Want To” (the URL for this review is gonna be huge) is not only a return to form after two-thirds of a disappointing final season; it’s a sensational episode, packed with character developmen...

“Partners in Time” is yet another filler episode, but at least it’s a decent one that’s grounded in character. It also revolves around Barry and Iris for a change, which is good because I’ve grown sick of the supporting cast and their boring nonsense. They’re here, of course; God forbid ...

REVIEW: Superman & Lois – Season 3, Episode 4, “Too Close to Home”

For most of its run time, “Too Close to Home” is tedious, focusing on family drama that isn’t as compelling as the show seems to think it is, retreading plot elements and themes and conflicts that likely won’t be going away anytime soon. But in its last ten or fifteen minutes, it finally doe...
