Simplifying origins of the Marvel Comics characters, the first double-sized episode of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur introduces us to brilliant 13 year-old Lunella Lafayette (Diamond White) who attempts to solve her neighborhood’s power shortage (which is actually being caused by a super-villain, more on that later) by recreating what she believes is a power generator but is actually a portal generator which a red dinosaur walks through. With the help of a social media obsessed classmate (Libe Barer) and her new dino pal, our young teen takes to the street with an assortment of homemade gadgets and dinosaur sidekick to fight for the safety of the Lower East Side.

The Flash – Hear No Evil

  • Title: The Flash – Hear No Evil
  • wiki: link

You can tell we’re into the final season of The Flash as “Hear No Evil” is overpacked with plot. We pick up the abandoned thread from last season’s finale concerning the fate of Frost & Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker), which includes Team Flash voting which one should die (before coming to their senses), and the introduction of a new personality which Panabaker will be playing this season. We get a split within Team Flash. We get a new villain in the Fiddler (Magda Apanowicz) who is revealed to be working alongside the new Captain Boomerang (Richard Harmon) for Red Death. We get the return of Pied Piper (Andy Mientus) and an entire arc deciding if he should be a hero or villain. We get Cecile (Danielle Nicolet) and Joe (Jesse L. Martin) dealing with his bombshell last week. We get Barry (Grant Gustin) and Iris (Candice Patton) putting their vacation on hold. And we get awkward early days of Chester (Brandon McKnight) and Allegra (Kayla Compton) together.

With Nicky (Olivia Liang) sidelined, first in jail and later under house arrest, it falls on Althea (Shannon Dang) to go undercover and get some proof on Delta Security’s illegal practices. Capable, but more than a little over-head, Althea does get into a bit of trouble. We do get the addition of Zhilan (Yvonne Chapman) halfway through sent in as backup, although I’m still not sure why she wasn’t called for the initial job instead of Nicky’s sister (other than to given Althea something to do in the episode).
