New CW Shows Ordered: Supernatural Prequel, Walker Prequel, Gotham Knights
The CW is in its most precarious position ever, having put itself up for sale and canceled several of its tentpole series. Despite this, the network has recently ordered full seasons of The Winchesters, Walker: Independence, and Gotham Knights. These shows each involve a member of the Supernatural trio as part of either the cast or writing team. These three men have gone to new heights…
REVIEW: The Flash – Season 8, Episode 14 “Funeral for a Friend”
“Funeral for a Friend,” a reference to the comic book story that chronicled the aftermath of “The Death of Superman” (as opposed to the Elton John song), is the inevitable follow-up to Frost’s death in “Death Falls.” It’s a quiet episode with very little superhero action, focusing on the grieving process and how best to…

Their progression is playing out realistically – inasmuch as a show about flying aliens with heat vision can…
Batwoman and Legends of Tomorrow Canceled
The Arrowverse has put two more shows back in its quiver, as the CW has canceled Batwoman and Legends of Tomorrow. Batwoman has been on the air for three seasons, and suffered some significant setbacks during its run, such as original star Ruby Rose injuring herself and ultimately quitting, then accusing the producers of mistreating…
REVIEW: The Flash – Season 8, Episode 12 “Death Rises”
“Death Rises” is what I call a connective tissue episode, made necessary by 20-plus-episode seasons (see also: the filler episode and the bottle episode) and existing mostly to move the plot along between high points. These are never anyone’s favorite episodes, and “Death Rises” doesn’t have the thrills of a “Phantoms” or “Resurrection.” But it’s…
