Supergirl - The Darkest Place

“The Darkest Place” is another busy episode. Superman’s black friend James “Don’t Call Me Jimmy” Olsen (Mehcad Brooks) and Winn‘s (Jeremy Jordan) super-hero experiment runs into a snag with the arrival of a new deadly vigilante whose body count gets wrongly attributed to Guardian. J’onn (David Harewood) begins having after-effects from his blood transfusion which lead him to discover the truth about Miss Martian (Sharon Leal). Mon-El (Chris Wood) is used as bait by Cadmus to capture Kara (Melissa Benoist). And Alex (Chyler Leigh) blows off some steam and gives Maggie (Floriana Lima) a well-deserved scolding for leading her on.

The Librarians and the Rise of Chaos

After the Librarians defeat some druids from using a rune stone (and a giant wicker statue) for nefarious purposes, the team heads to Boston where the Egyptian God of Chaos has inhabited a former Navy man and is using his host in an attempt to release pure evil into the world. It seems things won’t be slowing down for the team this season as the battle between good and evil is just heating up. Aside from the magical threats, this season the team will also have to deal with the Department of Statistical Anomalies which have their own interest in the mystical events (and it seems the wrong perception of the Librarians and their mission).

Star Wars Rebels - Iron Squadron

A forgettable episode in pretty much every respect, “Iron Squadron” introduces the crew of the Ghost to a trio of young Rebels defending their homeworld of Mykapo from the Empire. While the young members of Iron Squadron have been able to fight back a little Imperial presence, the Empire turning their attention to the sector has brought the Ghost in to evacuate the locals and attempt to talk some reason into Iron Squadron before they pick a fight they won’t survive. Although Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) makes a token apperance here, the episode is largely disconnected from the bigger themes of the season. And with the focus of the episode being on (the far less interesting) Iron Squadron, the result is the weakest episode of the show’s Third Season.

No Tomorrow - No Debts Remain Unpaid

Secrets and truths are the name of the game in “No Debts Remain Unpaid” which teaches each couple that honest communication is always preferable than hiding the truth from your spouse. Xavier (Joshua Sasse) learns this lesson by attempting to keep his mountain of credit card debt from Evie (Tori Anderson) for “her good.” For the man who believes the world is coming to an end in less than a year it makes complete sense that he’d be living on credit, although for a guy who came up with a complex theory about the end of the world (based on science) you’d expect he’d be a little better with math and plan not to go broke so early.

The Flash - Shade

As Alchemy reaches out to Wally (Keiynan Lonsdale) to embrace his Flashpoint life, the season takes a big turn. Wally will choose to help the group take down the villain, but not at the cost of the speed he so desperately desires. Caitlin‘s (Danielle Panabaker) powers will be revealed to the group. And Alchemy’s boss, the season’s true big bad, is revealed to be Savitar (i.e. yet another speedster). The episode is problematic in that its purpose is more to set-up what is to come than offer a strong standalone episode. The result is a metahuman shadow who is more of an afterthought than a legitimate threat while foreshadowing big changes for both Wally and Caitlin in the coming weeks.
