The last three episodes, pt. 1 *spoilers*


With the recent death of Adam West, DC comics decided to make available for a limited time the Powerless episode with West as a guest star (article about it along with the episode itself at this link: http://nerdist.com/dc-releases-unaired-episode-of-powerless-with-adam-wests-last-guest-performance/).

The episode was the second of three left to air before NBC unceremoniously pulled the plug (like they couldn't have waited another three weeks??) and it got me wondering if the other two episodes could be found online. They could. So I watched all three, and they were great!

The frst of the three (ep. 10) was probably my favorite (though as I said they were all great). In "No Consequence Day," Lois Lane has been killed. Ron (Ron Funches) has heard rumors that she's died before, and Superman flew around the Earth rapidly enough to reverse time (a la the first Christopher Reeve's Superman film). This means that they can do whatever they want, free of consequences, because eventually time will be reversed and anything they do will never have happened. Eventually, even strait-laced Emily goes along with the mayhem.

In the Adam West episode, "Win, Luthor, Draw," Emily's inability to fire one of her staff heads (Teddy, Wendy or Ron), inadvertantly leads to their division being bought out by LexCorp. Though they assume they're going to be let go as redundant (in a joke similar to one from Shaun of the Dead, Emily, Teddy, Wendy and Ron each have a doppelganger at LexCorp) they're kept on, allowed to enjoy the company's many perks (it's like the Google campus - but for evil). Unfortunately, that's when they discover what LexCorp has been up to.
