Powers has come to its first season conclusion.
Find out in our review!
ThePowersseason finale was one part exciting, two parts awful fight scenes, and three parts boring.
I guess stumbling on the Lynchian isnt as cool as doing it on purpose.
Thats the whole point of a Lynchian production, right?
The fight scenes have, for the most part, hit a note for me.
A much lower level.
On a parallel earth,X-Menperhaps wishes it could be as campy and Lynchian asPowers.
But thats not here.

Yes, the season finales fights were really disappointing.
Or shell at least die trying.
You have to hand it to Zora.
But now the veil is gone.
Everyone knows Zora couldnt hurt a fly.
I mean, everyone shows up to fight the dude, but theres barely a punch thrown.
Wolfe doesnt even put up a fight.
And thats the end of Wolfe.
Deena shoots him a couple times and Johnny decapitates him.
End of story….HALFWAY THROUGH THE EPISODE.
Christian and Johnny talk about their friendship.
Are they friends now?
The writers dont take the extra step to conclude that complicated relationship in a satisfying way.
Instead, we get another flashback with the two worst actors on the planet.
Theyre big red rings and shoot out of peoples chests after all (its awful).
Calista seems to have the same powers/hunger for power as Wolfe.
The last we see of her, shes leaving Johnny and flying around the city.
Its nice to see that twist that may very well lead her to become a formidable villain…
If it werent for Krispin murdering Retro Girl in cold blood at the end of the episode.
Above her head are the words Kaotic Chic sprayed onto a white sheet.
And before all that, we see Krispin texting Calista, Im sorry.
WHO DO YOU THINK DID IT?
Unless,Powerstakes the long way around and shows that this is all a conspiracy to frame Krispin.
I hope not, though.
I want Krispin to be the next big bad in training.
Calista vs. Kaotic Chic in 2016.
Power Points
I dont really care about Triphammer, but Im glad hes back on the wagon.
Im sad Simons died.
They were cool guys.
Sad Johnny makes me sad.
I hope hes able to keep Calista safe next season.
Shes bound to get herself into some trouble.
Christian cant catch a break.
Is she the new Retro Girl?
It actually looks really good, like when the Atom flies around onArrow.
I want to see more of that.
Its just so bad.
The Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica alum went too soon.
But this is sort of according to the original comics.
Brian Michael Bendis and company took the long way around.
