 -        Li’l Eddie O’Hare

Welcome to the DC TV Report for the week ending Saturday November 6th, 2021. I'm here to bring you recaps, news and commentary for all live-action television shows based on DC Comics. There were 6 new episodes this week, including 2 penultimate episodes and 2 finales.

Wednesday - 11/3/2021

Edgar Hoover in a progressive speakeasy. 2) Astra, Spooner and Gideon snuck onto a train and befriended a nightclub singer. Last Minute Reveal: Zari swapped out with totem Zari so she could crack open robot Hoover!

Ed’s Winner for the Week:  The Batwing Suit Failsafe - Luke got the AI with his dad’s voice working again on the Batwing suit and was told that he is not ready to take it into the field with Batwoman. He is still dealing with the trauma of getting shot and it is brave of this series to admit that being a superhero is not for everybody. Luke's tech skills still make him invaluable to team Batwoman and while I am sure this is not the last we have seen of Luke in that suit, this excursion into his mental health feels authentic and unique.

 -        Li’l Eddie O’Hare

Last Minute Reveal: After lying to Yorick about speaking with his mom, 355 checked her bag to make sure her Fran tracker was blinking!

Tuesday - 9/28/2021

Last Minute Reveal: As Barbara and Mike hugged each other to feel safe, the window outside began to frost over and icicles began forming under the rain gutter!

Supergirl - S06E13 "The Gauntlet" 1) After David's slingshot, the totem of courage, was pulled apart, Kara and Nxly each ran gauntlets to try and gain control of the totem while pure courage began to permeate everyone around them. 2) Lena was in denial about the whole "Mom-was-a-witch-and-so-am-I" thing. 3) Dr. Beatrice Lahr became emboldened to steal research data on Project Bolt after her funding was cut. 4) William was down in the dumps after getting chewed out by Andrea for dropping the ball on the Super Friends story. 5) Kelly and Alex had an awkward breakfast talking about balancing the hero stuff with their relationship. Last Minute Reveal: Nxly came to the conclusion that pain was the price of power and became confident that she would succeed in finding the totems!

Thursday - 9/30/2021

Doom Patrol - S03E04 "Undead Patrol" 1) The mysterious woman told the Doom Patrol she had suffered from amnesia but knew she had to find Niles Caulder and needed her time machine repaired. 2) All of our recently resurrected heroes slowly got sick and turned into zombies. 3) Darren Jones stole Niles' enchanted head from Willoughby Kipling and demanded retribution. Last Minute Reveal: A zombified were-butt began running full speed toward Cloverton!

Titans - S03E10 "Troubled Water" 1) Both Barbara Gordon and the Titans found themselves in a quandary after Scarecrow posted a video claiming it was Nightwing who poisoned the water and that the city should rally around Red Hood. 2) On her journey to the Gotham CIty limits, Donna was confronted by Lydia and forced to take a vision quest.

Ed’s Winner for the Week:  The Butt Monsters - I was trying to pull a theme together about women returning home but this week's Doom Patrol just broke me. Legends of Tomorrow has always been regarded as the bonkers DC series but the fact that Doom Patrol airs on a streaming service instead of a broadcast network allows it to reach a whole new level of strange and deranged. The episode "Undead Patrol" just hit a new high point. The legion of shark-toothed "were-butts" as Jane called them were the exact type of absurdism that the world needs right now. I know the concept is terrifyingly stupid, but somehow its very existence gives me faith in humanity.

 -        Li’l Eddie O’Hare

Welcome to the DC TV Report for the week ending Saturday September 11th, 2021. I'm here to bring you recaps, news and commentary for all live-action television shows based on DC Comics. There were 4 new episodes this week including 1 Finale. A separate report on season 6 of Lucifer will be published later this weekend.

Sunday - 9/5/2021

DC's Legends of Tomorrow - Season 6 Finale "The Fungus Amongus" 1) While Spooner lay in a coma, the Legends made it "What Would Sara Never Do Day" and timenapped a younger version of Bishop to wake up Spooner and help prevent the evil Bishop's impending alien invasion. 2) Beyrad swore that Constantine's spirit was living in a mushroom and everyone thought he was high. 3) Mick insisted to Kayla that he wanted to be a part of their 48 kids' lives. 4) Sara and Ava decided they wanted to get married right now! Last Minute Reveal: The triumphant Legends watched a second Waverider appear in the sky, blow up their Waverider and disappear!

Tuesday - 9/7/2021

DC's Stargirl - S02E05 "Summer School Chapter Five" 1) Cindy was unable to warm up to Cameron Mahkent and out of spite used the Black Diamond on Mr. Desinger. 2) Everyone on the JSA was juggling personal issues as they tried using the weather to track Eclipso. Last Minute Reveal: While painting his mural, Cameron's hand stiffened and his paintbrush fell to the ground, frosted over!

Supergirl - S06E10 "Still I Rise" 1) Nia got to spend a day with her dead mom, who immediately informed her she made a stupid bargain allowing Nxly to escape into the real world. 2) Nxly joined forces with Mitch the alien poacher and tricked him into helping her find a way to restore her Impish powers. 3) Supergirl decided to try and use her social media influence to sway the City Council from voting to scrap a housing program for paroled convicts. 4) Kelly was having a rough first day of Guardian training with Alex.

Ed’s Winner for the Week:  The AvaLance Wedding (Jes Macallan and Caity Lotz) - One of the hallmarks of Legends of Tomorrow is the show's bonkers finales and the latest installment did not disappoint. The spur-of-the-moment outdoor ceremony featured our heroes fending off an alien invasion, Spooner discovering her power-swapping powers, and good ole Gary stepping up in the clutch to be the greatest wedding planner in history. It was a beautiful moment for a wonderful couple. Co-Captains Forever!
