TV #47 of 2016:
Vixen, season 2
This is still a pretty lightweight entry in the CW Arrowverse, to the point where I’m not even sure if it’s fully canonical or not. (It doesn’t help that each “season” is about 45 minutes long, and it’s hard to remember individual “episodes” when they’re only a few minutes each and released one week apart.) For a while I got excited, since it seemed like the second season was going to provide new information about the first Vixen, Amaya – presumably an ancestor of the one on this show, Mari, although that hasn’t been explicitly confirmed – in parallel to Amaya joining the team on sister show DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. But that didn’t pan out, and the season ended with Mari teaming up with Green Arrow, the Atom, and Black Canary, which has me super confused about what the timeline is supposed to be. This would all be okay if the story was good enough to overlook the crossover-related plot holes, but frankly, we’re not there yet.
