SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #300 – Supergirl 2x09 – Supergirl Lives | Recap & Review
A missing teenager tugs at Kara’s heart strings, so she promises the mother she will absolutely find her little girl. Mon-El insists on tagging along. Following a lead from a string of other missing young persons, Kara finds a crazy doctor with a portal. She and Mon-El dive through and find themselves on Slaver’s Moon, with a red sun and no powers. Supergirl hunts for the missing girl anyway, and finds herself a captive. Elsewhere, Winn is having some trouble getting back in the game after almost getting killed on a night excursion with Guardian, and Alex is over the moon about her new relationship with Maggie. Alex’s happiness ends when she gets worried about Kara though. Some investigation leads them to the portal, where Alex decides to mount a rescue mission. She demands Winn be on the ground for this one, wanting to take no chances. He balks, but Alex orders him. The team arrives and finds Supergirl and Mon-El in the midst of a prisoner rebellion. All together now, they make their way back to the portal, where they find Winn has overcome his fears and beaten the crap out of an alien. Having made it safely home, Winn tells James that he’s ready to get back on the horse, Kara tells Snapper that she’s going to be the reporter she wants to be, Mon-El tells Kara that he’s ready to be a hero, Alex apologizes to Maggie for trying to call it off earlier, and Maggie reveals that she has figured out that Kara is Supergirl. Also, back on Slaver’s Moon, the helmeted aliens looking for Mon-El find out from the stranded crazy doctor that he is now on Earth.

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #299 – Lucifer 2x12 – Love Handles | Recap & Review
A masked killer tries to prove that at a crucial moment, good people will selfishly try to save their own lives. The poison from last week’s episode is used on innocent people and perfect strangers are asked to harm themselves in order to save that person’s life. Chloe and Lucifer manage to stop the killer, and when Lucifer corners him he offers a cryptic message about choices and kills himself. All the while, Chloe tries to show Lucifer she can be a little more fun, and Lucifer keeps insisting to himself that Chloe’s recent interest in him must be one of his mother’s devious tricks. With Linda’s inadvertent help, Charlotte decides to reveal Chloe’s divine roots to Lucifer. First, she enlists a reluctant Maze to help with the intervention, then she invites him to the bar where Amenadiel blessed Chloe’s parents,right in front of a convenient snapshot of Amenadiel and Chloe’s mom rests on the wall (one must believe miraculously unperturbed for 36 years). Lucifer sees it and flips out about his Dad’s plans and tricks, then rushes to confront Chloe about whether she knew. His anger wanes quickly, however, when he arrives and finds her scared in the bathroom, seemingly suffering from the same symptoms as the poisoned innocents.

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #298 – Gotham 3x13 – Mad City: Smile Like You Mean It | Recap & Review
Jim & Bullock are after Dwight as he tries to resurrect Jerome. His initial attempts fail, so he cuts off Jerome’s face and starts a “We’re All Jerome” movement. He then interrupts the nightly news to announce the revelation about everyone being Jerome. Little does he know, the real Jerome has risen and is getting a quick history lesson from Lee. He learns where he can reacquire his face and sets off to the news studio to find Dwight. By the time Jerome arrives, Dwight is being taken into custody, having been thwarted mid-speech by Jim and Bullock. Jerome cop-naps him and takes him to a power plant, straps him down and surrounds him with explosives. He then delivers his own message to Gotham, pretty much declaring a purge, before blowing up the plant and sinking Gotham into darkness. Meanwhile, Selena is horrified to discover that her mother has been grifting Bruce and using her to do it. She tells her mom to get out of the city and never come back, then yells at Bruce for not telling her he’d figured it out already. Also, Riddler’s machinations to destroy Penguin continue as Barbara convinces the underworld that Penguin is out to kill them all. Then she and Tabatha kill them all. Nygma fakes a hostage phone call to Penguin, pretending to let him know how to find him.

Lucifer 2x11 - Stewardess Interruptus | Recap & Review Jan 23, 2017

Show notes

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #295 - Lucifer 2x11 - Stewardess Interruptus | Recap & Review - We return to Lucifer and Chloe’s almost-kiss only to find it interrupted by a very friendly stewardess from Lucifer’s past. Chloe excuses herself and Lucifer gives the stewardess the old heave-ho. Soon after, the stewardess and another of Lucifer’s former lovers turn up dead, prompting an investigation of Lucifer’s string of romantic partners. Lucifer discovers that all of his encounters have been utterly meaningless but they do at least find a link to a drug smuggling operation that uses flight attendants. Maze, who has been trying to master self-worth after finding no one willing to acknowledge her act of vengeful kindness for Chloe’s father, helps with the sting operation to track down the smuggler. It flushes him out but he does get the drop on Lucifer, who promptly scares the ever-loving hell out of the poor gunman. Their investigation fails to find the actual package involved in the deal and it is later revealed to be some sort of chemical when a shadowy many strangles a bit actor for it. Lucifer, with the help of Amenadiel’s straight talk, decides that there’s no point winning the affections of Chloe since he’s not really good enough to be with her. He reveals as much to her, and she agrees, but kisses him anyway.

Show notes

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #294 - Gotham 3x12 - Ghosts | Recap & Review - We return to Mario Falcone’s funeral and the aftermath. Lee is deeply mad at Jim so she agrees to comply with the hit Falcone wants to put out on Jim. Even though Zsasz has a fondness for Jim he merrily sets about the task of killing him, which annoys Bullock because he’s around him a lot. Leslie visits Barnes in jail and realizes he’s completely changed and that Mario was probably crazed when Jim put him down. This gives her second thoughts about the assassination and she begs Falcone to call it off. He regretfully complies and tells Zsasz to back down. The Ed/Barbara coalition to destroy Penguin uses an elaborate plan to make Penguin think his father is a ghost but is also a desecrated corpse. He freaks out so wonderfully that he kills the man who once held Edward’s job, and completely tanks a live, nationally televised interview. Bruce manages to talk Selena into giving her estranged mother a second chance. The gang has a lovely dinner and bonds nicely, but the next morning Maria is cornered in her apartment by a thug looking to get back his money and Selena has to name-drop Bruce to get rid of him. At the morgue, Dwight the coroner has been reviving dead bodies and holding Jerome-was-awesome rallies. After Jim and Bullock bust up a meeting, and knowing for certain now that his tech works, Dwight decides it’s time to undead Jerome himself.
