Show notes

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN # 180 - The Flash 2x22 – Invincible | Review - Barry’s cocky because he thinks the Speed Force is on his side. Caitlin is back at S.T.A.R. Labs, but is suffering PTSD symptoms from her time with Zoom.The city is being overrun by metas from Earth-2. To Joe’s chagrin, Wally is fighting the metas because he feels he wasn’t worthy of being saved by the Flash. Also, Earth-2 Laurel, Black Siren shows up to bring down a bunch of buildings—including Mercury Labs. Zoom is intent on making Barry believe that they are the same, as they share a similar backstory of tragedy. The team finds a way to use frequencies to damage Earth-2 nervous systems into submission, but complications with Jesse and Harry lead to Zoom getting away to Earth-2 at the last second. With everyone together at the West house, Henry and Tina McGee seem to be getting along well, as do Wally and Jesse! Barry and Iris agree to start dating officially, and then Zoom comes in, grabs Henry, and takes him to Barry’s old house. It isn’t fair that Barry didn’t see his mother die like Zolomon did, so of course, he murders Henry. Oh. And Wally totally knows Barry is the Flash now.

Gotham 2x21 – A Legion of Horribles | Review May 24, 2016

Show notes

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #179 - Gotham 2x21 – A Legion of Horribles | Review - Hugo Strange brings Fish Mooney back using the DNA of a cuttlefish. Unlike the other patients, Fish remembers who she is. She also has nifty new fingernail powers of persuasion! Or just long fingernails on her hand which she uses for her powers of persuasion! Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne is worried about Selena (Alfred is very disappointed in Bruce), and Lucius drives Bruce to Arkham so Jim Gordon can dress up like a security guard, see what wall Lucius marked during his tour with Peabody, and make it down to Indian Hill. Strange and Bruce chat, and that gets super weird super fast as Strange thinks it’s okay to pretty much admit to having involvement in Thomas’ murder and warning Bruce not to go down the same path. Everybody gets grabbed! Bruce and Lucius are thrown into a gas chamber where Nygma (who has of course wormed his way into Strange’s good graces) interrogates them about what they know in regards to Strange) while Strange uses some steampunk looking crap to make Clayface look like Jim Gordon! Also Selina convinces a brainwashed Firefly that she needs a servant. So Selina is saved! Oh, yeah! THE COURT OF OWLS are totally in charge of Strange!

Legends of Tomorrow 1x15 - Destiny | Review May 16, 2016

Show notes

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #177 - Legends of Tomorrow 1x15 - Destiny | Review - Rip Hunter is introduced to the concept of The Oculus, the device by which the Time Masters map and (surprise!) manipulate time. Turns out that the Time Masters are in league with Vandal Savage because he is, despite the many atrocities he visits upon humanity, the only person who can unite humanity enough for mankind to survive the coming Thanagarian war! Oh, and the Time Masters claim that they instructed Savage to kill Rip’s family to make him rebel and give him purpose. Shit. In other news, Mick is being brainwashed into being Chronos again, Snart is into Sara, Rip sees Ray die trying to shut the Oculus down, Jax teams with Stein to travel back to the future (and does so while also convincing Stein to give him the roofie in the first place), and the team loses not a Ray as foretold, but Snart who, as he would put it, takes one for the team. The Oculus is destroyed, and the Time Masters no longer have the ability to map time. They end their association with Savage who has just freshly killed Rip’s family with Kendra and Carter in tow.

Arrow 4x21 – Monument Point | Review May 16, 2016

Show notes

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN # 176 - Arrow 4x21 – Monument Point | Review - HIVE is hacking the world’s nuclear missiles, and it’s up to Felicity and her dad The Calculator to keep them at bay! Unfortunately, they need a quantum processor or some such non-sense ... which Felicity has at palmer-tech ... except she gets fired and escorted out of the building for being a shitty CEO. So she and her dad have to break in with Oliver, use a ridiculously well-placed electromagnet thing to get the processor, and clone the device before security shows up. And when they get back to the bunker, they succeed in stopping every missile… but one. Rather than let the nuke take out a couple of million people, Felicity hacks and directs it to a smaller location, choosing to kill tens of thousands of people instead. Ouch. Meanwhile Thea deals with Malcolm and Anarky (who seemingly kills Alex), and in the flashbacks, Oliver takes on Reiter some more.

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #175 - The Flash 2x21 – The Runaway Dinosaur | Review - Barry’s finds himself in the Speed Force talking to loved ones past and present.

Barry learns that his guilt over not saving his mother is psychologically hindering his speed, and Iris helps Barry break the barriers between dimensions, and brings him back home where he defeats Girder. Also, Henry is sticking around … which is worrisome as Zoom has a whole mess of metahumans from Earth 2 ready and willing to conquer Earth-1.

After all, the Azrael story is wrapped up fairly nicely as Galavan gets run over by bruce Wayne, shot multiple times by Jim Gordon, and blowed up real good by Penguin, Butch, and his bazooka! Meanwhile, Selena breaks into Arkham to find Firefly as Ed Nygma tries to break out!

Legends of Tomorrow 1x14 – River of Time | Review May 08, 2016

Show notes

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #172 - Legends of Tomorrow 1x14 – River of Time | Review - The team has captured Vandal Savage. Rip figures out that Savage’s giant robot tech was from the future, so he now has righteous cause to stop Savage since he’s manipulating time. He wants to take Savage to the Time Council. Snart and Rory want to return to 2016 while Sara struggles with the fact that Rip would sell the team out to save his own family since Rip may have sent Jax on a “Deadly Years’ type suicide mission that he should have taken himself. Kendra tries to get a captured Carter to remember their lives together while Ray anguishes over what might happen if Carter does remember (thanks to a conversation with Savage). Professor Stein figured out that to save Jax and de-age him, he had to send him back to 2016 – thereby screwing Snart and Rory over in their desires to return. Upon arriving at the Vanishing Point, Rip is arrested and Savage is sent back to his time as the Time Masters have been in league with Savage the entire time.

Arrow 4x20 – Genesis | Review May 08, 2016

Show notes

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #171 - Arrow 4x20 – Genesis | Review - Andy lures Diggle out, captures him, tortures him, and lets him get rescued in order to track him to Lilah, who has a chip in her arm that will give Damien Darhk access and control to a bunch of nuclear missiles he can use to destroy the world. Realizing his family will never be safe (mostly because Andy keeps saying it), Diggle kills his brother. Meanwhile, Oliver and Felicity go on a quest to learn magic. Oliver is told he has too much darkness in him, but proves the theory wrong when he focuses on Felicity’s voice in his head, and lightens up enough to repel Darhk’s magic. Also, Thea and Alex take a trip to Genesis, where nothing is real!
