THE FANDOM ZONE 085: "Invasion!" is Up!


"Back on my Earth, it's just me and my cousin.  Between the two of us, we're more powerful than..."
"Yeah, everybody in this room combined."
"No, no.  That's the point.  That's what you've all proven here.  Metahumans or not, superpowers or not, you are Earth's mightiest heroes."
– Supergirl and The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow: "Invasion!"

That's right, Karen and I are back with another HUGE episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast!  So huge, in fact, we've decided to split it up into two parts!

This week's reviews of comics on television include:

The Walking Dead 7x06: "Swear"
Lucifer 2x10 -- "Quid Pro Ho" (midseason finale)

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 4x07 -- "Deals with Our Devils"
Luke Cage 1x09 -- "DWYCK"

This time, we talk about things like the Imperial March Theme from The Empire Strikes Back getting so much play in 2017, The CW hyping Supergirl as part of the "four-part crossover event", being reminded that Heath is still alive, Rick leading the inevitable resistance movement against Negan, Tara finding out that Denise is dead, why The Walking Dead needs to scale back the finales, the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Trials and Tribble-ations", the awkwardness of Lucifer's mom defending the murderer of Chloe's dad, wondering why Amenadiel is so easily manipulated by Charlotte, finally learning what the deal is with Chloe Decker, the awkwardness of Lillian Luthor telling her daughter Lena that Lex is her favorite, the awkwardness of Lena sabotaging her mother's missile to kill all the aliens in National City, wondering why Superman, Mon-El, Miss Martian and the Martian Manhunter weren't part of the "Invasion!" crossover, Alex raiding the fridge for booze, more of my theory that Mon-El is really the Daxamite Prince, finally learning what the deal is with the secret message from Future Barry, why Barry needs to start stepping up and stop relying on his S.T.A.R. Labs support, Supergirl asking Heat Wave how he got his name, 100 episodes getting you a sweeter deal of syndication money, what DWYCK stands for, the welcome return of Karen's Whiny Thea impression, the convenience of having your superhero uniforms waiting for you when escaping an alien spacecraft, why Mr. Terrific deserves better, Citizen Steel in the Millennium Waverider, a new Arrow drinking game, the classic TV series Soap, Barry being a better person than Cisco, finally getting to see Firestorm using his transmutation power, wondering how Bruce's puny arms can support Selina's weight on a tightrope, Penguin being super clingy, my fondness for Giacomo Puccini, the awesomeness of Ghost Rider Mack on a motorcycle with his shotgun axe, AIDA going all Westworld, Shades getting called out by Diamondback, Misty's big psychological breakthrough, some feedback from Justina, the upcoming FX series Legion, the greatness of Baby Groot, and more!
