Wicked Theory: DC TV Report for week ending 7/24/2021

- Li’l Eddie O’Hare

Welcome to the DC TV Report for the week ending Saturday July 24th, 2021. I'm here to bring you recaps, news and commentary for all live-action television shows based on DC Comics. There were 3 new episodes this week including 1 finale.

Sunday – 7/18/2021

DC's Legends of Tomorrow - S06E10 "Bad Blood" 1) Constantine roped in Spooner to join him on an excursion to find the Fountain of Imperium in Spain, 1939. 2) Lita was concerned Mick wasn't taking the news that he had alien eggs growing in his skull well. 3) The Legends found it hard to handle the growing Baby Gus. Last Minute Reveal: Constantine enchanted Spooner to lie about how he got his magic back and sold the painting of Aleister Crowley for more doses of the magical steroids potion!

Tuesday – 7/20/2021

The Flash - Season 7 Finale "Heart of the Matter Part 2" 1) August Heart warned Barry that his Godspeed clones would tear Central City apart unless Barry could find a way to imbue Heart with organic speed. 2) Bart was still unconscious and Nora was inclined to grant Godspeed's ultimatum. 3) Chester tried getting Allegra to look at the silver linings of her cousin's death. 4) Joe and Kramer were trapped by Godspeeds and Kramer suddenly had speed powers. Last Minute Reveal: After renewing their wedding vows, Barry and Iris kissed in Flash time so they could make the moment last as long as possible!

Superman and Lois - S01E13 "Fail Safe" 1) Tal Rho sat in his cell remembering how much of a jerk his dad was. 2) After Superman and John Henry Irons captured Leslie Lar, General Lane considered shuttering the 7734 program. 3) Lois and Chrissy disagreed over how to cover the Morgan Edge story in the paper. 4) Jonathan and Jordan each played hooky to hang with the ladies. 5) Lana and Kyle were having a rough time dealing with the reality that they had become social pariahs in Smallville. Last Minute Reveal: After busting out of his cell, Tal Rho pulled energy from the Sun!

Ed’s Winner for the Week: Speedsters United - This past season of The Flash had its ups and downs but the 2-part finale was a strong finish. Barry's terrible leadership choices finally washed away and we were treated to a showdown between the army of Godspeeds and all of our Speed Force heroes. The Flash, the other Flash, XS, Impulse and even Iris suited up for a fight scene that will probably be as close as we will get to a crossover this season. It was not perfect but the fact that Reverse Flash (Tom Cavanagh) was pulled out of oblivion at the end gives me some hope that season 8 will have a more defined direction.
