The Flash - Enter Zoom

The aptly titled “Enter Zoom” brings Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) face-to-face with the season’s big bad Zoom for the first time. In an episode that showcases Barry’s impatience with waiting for the villain to strike out again, Barry enlists the help of Linda Park (Malese Jow) to play the role of her evil doppelganger in an attempt to lure Zoom into a trap. Lets just say things don’t go exactly as planned.

Castle - Cool Boys

In an episode that doesn’t feature Beckett (Stana Katic), Castle (Nathan Fillion) is approached by his “old friend” Detective Slaughter (Adam Baldwin) to look into the heist of a prototype microchip. When Slaughter’s informant turns up dead Ryan (Seamus Dever) and Esposito (Jon Huertas) turn their attention to Slaughter as the number one suspect, but Castle chooses instead to believe the detective’s innocence even going so far as to steal Ryan and Esposito’s car to prevent them from taking Slaughter in for questioning.

Wander Over Yonder - The Matchmaker

In an episode that pits Wander (Jack McBrayer) against Sylvia (April Winchell), Sylvia tries her best to distract Wander from his plans to bring Lord Hater (Keith Ferguson) and Lord Dominator (Noël Wells) together. After discovering a love note Hater wrote but was too embarrassed to send, Wander takes it on himself to make sure Dominator gets the message. “The Matchmaker” sets a record for both the number of title cards (several featuring the episode’s actual title, several for Sylvia’s various distractions, and a collection of other based on various alternative versions of the characters after the pair go through the Interdimensional Door) and references to previous episodes in a single episode. And, of course, it wouldn’t be an episode without a late gag and lesson for Sylvia where she learns to trust her best friend despite not believing in his plan to help the two villains fall in love. All-in-all, very entertaining.

Supergirl - Fight or Flight

“Fight or Flight” is a hit-or-miss third episode to the series as Kara (Melissa Benoist) struggles both with her boss’ mean-spirited expose of the city’s new heroine and the arrival of one of Superman’s enemies Reactron (Chris Browning) who hopes to take down the Girl of Steel in order to teach Superman a lesson. The conceit of Supergirl is that Kara lives in a world where she’s just as good (but not really) as a more experienced and more seasoned hero with the exact same power set who she can’t interact with or learn from on-screen. As with the “Pilot” episode, a blurred version of Superman does make an appearance to help Supergirl out of a jam but lets his younger cousin fend for herself against a rather lame villain who seems far less unstoppable than we’re meant to believe.
