The Falcon and the Winter Soldier - Episodes 5 & 6 - Review

Image
The end of this series stuck the landing for the most part. It was a bit muddled, but gave us exactly what it was supposed to - we have a new Captain America! Sam Wilson is officially Cap, and his suit looks amazing. (Life is very hectic at the moment, so there will be only a quick rundown below)

If you want to get caught up, you can use my Arrowverse Viewing Order guide to help you navigate! Batwoman - Episode 2.10 - Time Off For Good Behavior This episode dealt with a lot of past trauma. Jacob dealt with it. Alice dealt with it. Even Julia did, to a certain extent. And it was all wrapped around "Snakebite" and a doctor who could make people forget things.   While Kate is no longer a main player on the show, her impact is driving many stories of the characters. Jacob, Sophie, Alice, and Julia, are all doing what they are doing because of Kate. I wasn't

This week featured a cunning linguist, and time travel shenanigans. Below is a breakdown of all of the Arrowverse stuff that aired this week.

The Flash has a hit and miss history with it though. This one was fun, but they broke their own rules and stuff with this, leaving it with a sloppy and disconnected narrative.   The rule that was broken was the clothing thing. Not huge in the grand scheme of things, but just annoying. Cisco and Chester went back in time but had to go find period relevant clothing. The show actually spent value minutes dealing with this show. Then later on, when the rest of the time travel happen

Black Mask has Kate Kane imprisoned, and is becoming a formidable foe. The Bat team is beginning to gel more than ever too. Sofie's sister made a splashy entrance and seems like she will be important in the long run. Not only is she bridging the gap between Sofia and Ryan, but she is doing important work against police corruption too. The "is Kate alive or dead" thing is getting old. While th

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier - Episode 3 - Review

The halfway point of the series also marked the apex of the series so far. The best episode came with a lot of added layers, familiar faces, and enough mystery to let the series ride this wave until the end of the line. There will be spoilers throughout.
