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.

DC TV Report for week ending 7/3/2021

- Li’l Eddie O’Hare

Welcome to the DC TV Report for the week ending Saturday July 3rd, 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 one finale.

Sunday - 6/27/2021

DC's Legends of Tomorrow - S06E08 "Stressed Western" 1) The Legends entered the rowdy Fist City, Oklahoma of 1891 and found a happy vice-free town run by a crooked sheriff who had control of a massive, gold-secreting alien space-worm. 2) Sara asked Ava not to mention the whole "alien-hybrid clone" thing to the rest of the group. 3) Spooner and Astra got on each other's nerves. 4) Zari called out Beyrad for his poor taste in women. 5) Constantine started nagging Gary for clues about the Fountain of Imperium. Last Minute Reveal: Ava told Nate and Beyrad they couldn't keep the Cowboy Narrator!

Batwoman - Season 2 Finale "Power" 1) Black Mask turned out the lights in Gotham after telling citizens to mask up and wreak havoc. 2) Ryan had no confidence in herself without the Batsuit and teamed up with Alice to confront Circe. 3) Mary encountered Tavaroff roided out on Venom and Snakebite. 4) Luke discovered his father had built him a personalized Batsuit. Last Minute Reveal: While the other bat trophies floated in the river, Poison Ivy's plant began to grow and spread!

Tuesday - 6/27/2021

The Flash - S07E15 "Enemy at the Gates" 1) Nora West-Allen appeared to Barry in a dream and convinced him that Iris was preggers. 2) A gaggle of Godspeeds starting causing trouble around Central City, trying to draw out Barry and leech his speed powers. 3) Allegra convinced Ultraviolet to allow Caitlin perform surgery to repair the damage done to her vocal cords. 4) Frost was caught off guard by Chillblaine's romantic interest in her. Last Minute Reveal: Joe and Kramer were on a stake out and their car exploded!

Ed’s Winner for the Week: The Havarak - Legends delivered again this week, this time in the form of a hundred-foot-long alien worm that sweats gold. It was scary and crazy and just the sort of thing you would expect from the most fun DC TV show. I was especially impressed by the CG effects of the monster.

The Flash - S07E10 "Family Matters, Part 1" 1) Barry tried training Alexa to control Fuerza and may have pushed her too far. 2) Barry and Iris tracked Psych aka Bashir Malik after he began attacking his snoody college buddies. 3) Kamilla started looking for jobs in Miami causing life to get real for Cisco. 4) Joe became furious when it became clear that Agent Kramer was not giving up her misguided quest to extinguish all metas. Last Minute Reveal: Deon and Nora showed up, stilled Barry and leeched life force away from Alexa, Bashir and Iris!

Superman and Lois - Midseason 1 Premiere "Broken Trust" 1) Jordan's friend Tag evaded Superman and General Lane and went to Sarah for help proving Jordan was the cause of his newfound and unstable powers. 2) Lois found herself working with Marcus aka Captain Luthor to investigate Morgan Edge, who had just given Lana a huge promotion. 3) Jordan begged Jonathan not to tell Clark about his super migraines because he wanted to play football against Metropolis High. Last Minute Reveal: Jordan began having an intense siezure and Clark raced to fly him to the Fortress!

Ed’s Winner for the Week: Family - Vin Diesel would be proud this week. Each episode had strong themes centered around family. On Legends, Constantine got all in a tizzy after Zari told her Mom their relationship wasn't serious. Batwoman saw Alice fighting to figure out how to reverse brainwash her sister and Jacob discovering that mourning his 2 lost daughters was leaving Mary in the lurch. Jefferson may have made the ultimate sacrifice for his family on Black Lightning. Barry and Iris kept talking about the elemental forces as if they were their kids on The Flash. Finally, Superman and Lois returned this week and Jordan learned how skirting responsibility can hurt his family, literally.
