Supergirl – Event Horizon

Alan Rapp / October 7, 2019 / Television Reviews

Title: Supergirl – Event Horizon
wiki: link

Much of Supergirl‘s Fifth Season premiere deals with the friendship between Kara (Melissa Benoist) and Lena (Katie McGrath), who discovered Kara’s secret at the end of last season. While continuing to still be oblivious that her best-friend is Supergirl, Lena begins finding ways to get her revenge. First, she sells of The Daily Planet to an old friend (Julie Gonzalo) who wants to take the newspaper in the 21st Century (by gutting any real news reporting in favor of monetization and clicks). Next, she prepares to reveal Kara’s secret to the world on the night Kara is set to receive the Pulitzer Prize for her reporting of Lex Luthor‘s machinations last season. Only Kara’s admission prevents Lena from continuing with her plan, in the episode’s best scene of Supergirl tearing up while admitting her mistakes to Lena, although Lena’s final scene suggests Kara is far from forgiven (whatever Ms. Luthor may say to Supergirl’s face).

Batwoman – Pilot

Alan Rapp / October 7, 2019 / Television Reviews

Title: Batwoman – Pilot
wiki: link

First seen in the Elseworlds crossover, Kathy Kane (Ruby Rose) returns in her own show with Batwoman. Ruby Rose is the show’s biggest asset, especially for an episode that doesn’t see Batwoman take flight until the final act. Taking place prior to the events in “Elseworlds Part 2,” the show’s pilot episode introduces us to Kathy before she takes on the mantle of the Bat. We’re given flashbacks to Kate’s family tragedy (the loss of her sister and mother) and the end of her first romance that didn’t fit into her girlfriend’s (Meagan Tandy) military career. Sophie‘s (Tandy) kidnapping by a new super-villain brings Kate back to a Gotham struggling after the disappearance of Batman years before.

Titans – Deathstroke

Title: Titans – Deathstroke
wiki: link

“Deathstroke” picks up from the cliffhanger of “Ghosts” with the Titans learning of Jason Todd‘s (Curran Walters) kidnapping, although it isn’t until after they discover Dr. Light‘s (Michael Mosley) body that they will learn who has Jason, and what he wants in return. Tensions continue to rise within Titans Tower with the abduction of Jason, Deathstroke‘s (Esai Morales) offer to trade the new Robin for Rose (Chelsea Zhang), and Dick (Brenton Thwaites) continuing to keep people in the dark. The arrival of Koriand’r (Anna Diop) helps with the later, but there still plenty of problems for the team to work out. Although Raven’s power issues have been put on the back burner this year due to the Deathstroke arc, it looks like they are poised to have a larger impact in the remainder of the season.

Cobie Smulders stars as a good, if slightly fucked-up, former soldier who falls into the life of an unlicensed private investigator over the first two episodes of Stumptown. “Forget It Dex, It’s Stumptown.” introduces us to Dex Parios (Smulders), her best-friend Grey (Jake Johnson), and her brother Ansel (Cole Sibus). When the daughter (Blu Hunt) of the love of her life, whose death Dex still blames herself for, goes missing, the grandmother (Tantoo Cardinal) hires Dex to find her. What Dex discovers first looks like a pair of teens running off together but turns out to be something far more sinister as the boy’s boyfriend turns out to be one of three criminals wanting to ransom the girl back to her grandmother for a big payday.
