Since it was announced that Michael Keaton was in talks to join the DCEU as Batman, my mind has had little time for anything else. I know it’s not a done deal yet, I know the DCEU is mostly garbage, and I know that continuity-wise, the multiverse doesn’t really make sense anymore. (Everyone congratulates the… Continue reading Things Change

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 19 “Success is Assured”
Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, “Success is Assured” is the makeshift finale for season 6 of The Flash, and it certainly feels that way. It doesn’t finish the main storyline, and it doesn’t feel particularly epic or important, just more connective tissue. That makes it a letdown as a finale; as an entity in itself,… Continue reading REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 19 “Success is Assured”
REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 18 “Pay the Piper”

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 17 “Liberation”
“Liberation” is the episode we desperately needed, moving the season-long plot significantly forward while examining and illuminating some of the best qualities of the characters, specifically Barry and Iris. There’s also an inventive fight scene and an attempt to mitigate one of the season’s more egregious sins. It isn’t a complete home run – the… Continue reading REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 17 “Liberation”
REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 16 ” So Long and Goodnight”
“So Long and Goodnight” is one of those episodes. There’s nothing particularly wrong with it (outside of the blander than low-fat mayonnaise villains); some important plot reveals even happen. But it never captivates or entertains the way The Flash usually does, content to be connective tissue linking what came before with what will come later.… Continue reading REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 16 ” So Long and Goodnight”
