Legends of Tomorrow: Destiny (2016)
Destiny of this show was to be good
This show has gotten better week by week. Now we enter the second last episode, and boy it delivers. We really get to see how far certain characters have evolved from the first episode... Pretty straight forwardly actually. This episode made me realize how Well they have explained time-travel; a thing I was really worried about when the show was beginning. All the characters except for maybe Kendra got satisfying amount of screen time as well. The way it all starts to come together left me so excited for next week's finale. If you or someone you know aren't watching this yet, now is the time: Tune in for the first episodes and have fantastic eleven-to-twelve hours.
The Flash: The Runaway Dinosaur (2016)
Strong stand-alone episode, decent 21/23 episode
Continuing from last week's epic cliffhanger we find Barry being trapped inside the Speed Force; something a lot of fans speculated on actually. Barry's internal struggle shown via the shadowy figure makes for good TV and I think the director Kevin Smith did good job. But...
This ep is really stretching my nerves by being the third last episode this season but so majorly disparting from the main narrative they finally got the hang of few episodes ago by even leaving Zoom, our main foe this season, to appear only in the pre-credits scene.
I'm now worried about how the two final episodes will play out when almost no ground-work was made to those. This season has had so much filler. Even Arrow has made everything lead up nicely to the finale every single year. This is really shaking my interest in the show as a whole.
Hopefully they will fix these issues in Season 3 and hopefully they won't create another speedster villain. Or at least make him or her appear more; The team found out Eobard's real identity in episode 19 or so -- opposed to them finding out about Zoom in episode 15.
We also had yet another "Villain of the week" in this episode to fill in screen time, this time Iris's ex-boyfriend from Season 1 who came back from the dead... Uggh
+ emotional scenes with Barry / + well done execution of somewhat cliché message / + Iris and Barry / - villain of the week / - Distraction from the Zoom story / - Cisco's powers and how they were used to interact with Barry
Arrow: Beacon of Hope (2016)
The next episode better BEE good
In this lukewarm episode the viewers are offered a few watchable action scenes by Team Arrow who are fighting against... *checks the name from Google* ...Brie Larvan who appeared in The Flash last year and is ultimately forgettable as a villain. We get quite a few scenes with Felicity and the character of Curtis (also known as Mr. Terrific in the comics) gets some story. I don't know what it is with this episode, it just didn't feel anything like it would have... But then again, Flash has the same problem with their recent episodes, maybe it's meant to be that the five-ish episodes before the finale are meh. I would end my review with mentioning a few good parts but I honestly can't remember a lot of anything from the ep.
The Flash: Versus Zoom (2016)
...huh?
In "Versus Zoom" the show finally stops wasting time and focuses on the main villain - you named it - Zoom. There are some really neat moments but not all of them work. Zoom's backstory is revealed, which still remains confusing to a great sum of the viewers. To me, the episode felt like it tried to do too much in this one episode, when all this material could have been used in episodes 15, 16 and 17. Usually Flash is good with handling several sub-plots but this week something went a bit wrong. Not too much though, the episode is still enjoyable if you let specific parts slip. The highlights of this episode would be the performances of Teddy Sears and Carlos Valdes.
