DC Universe: Swamp Thing – The Long Walk Home

Published

on

I’m very mixed about this episode. On one hand, I do enjoy seeing Avery (Will Patton) finally meeting Swamp Thing (Derek Mears). On the other hand, damn Swamp Thing took a stupid pill this episode. Well, okay a lot of characters this episode took a stupid pill. Not to mention there should be no way Avery could have survived the stuff from the last episode, but as it teased near the end of it: he did– sadly.

That and we get an answer as why the CDC were okay with Abby’s (Crystal Reed) time after the epidemic had ended. Turns out they weren’t, as Abby’s boss (Andrea Barbeau)grills her hard for it. That and we learn more about the character introduced last episode who dined with Maria and Woodrue (Kevin Durand), Nathan (Michael Beach), who is the head of the Conclave organization that was teased in the third episode, and he sure as heck exerts himself this episode.

This episode just continues off the buzzkill the last one ended on and we go deep into why Avery is the man he is. Honestly, I’m kind bored with Avery’s shenanigans. I kind of wished the Sheriff and her kid had actually did the deed. Would have been better, more so since now there’s so many characters mulling around.

That said, it just feels like almost everyone got stupider this episode. Abby is wondering how Nathan knew about Alec. I mean there’s only three  people she told. One was this very episode, and the least trustworthy person amongst her inner circle. It isn’t really hard to figure out WHO it was. Speaking of one of her friends, so we’re just not gonna acknowledge that Harlan (Leonardo  Nam) just is kidnapped and– never mentioned again in the episode?  Like you think Nathan could have mentioned that to get Abby to play ball more for her?

Heck, why did it have to be Nathan? He could just been silent and have Andrea Barbeau’s character do the grilling on Abby. It almost feels set up that way, and hey it would made more sense since you have Andrea “freaking” Barbeau in the episode. But nope she’s in and out, and the appearance just feels like a waste. I WANTED MORE! You’d think more Avery’s little delusions before he runs into Alec could have been cut for this? Ugh.

It was a bit neat seeing the Conclave goons confront Swamp Thing, but um– what happened to the control of the swamp? You’d think Alec would exert more of that power and make mincemeat out of these guys. Plus did it really have to be Avery who begins to take him down? I mean come on! Why not given Woodrue some of that.

Really, other than the confrontation Avery has with Alec, it’s his scene with Woodrue is the only three highlights (the other being Abby telling Harlan about Alec).For the briefest of moments, I did enjoy Avery thinking of actually curing Alec before the devil that Woodrue has become tell him otherwise.

I just feel so darn disappointed in the direction the show is going for the most part. I figured it could go in a crazier direction, but it just feels so darn safe. With some of the characters taking some massive leaps in judgment (SERIOUSLY, why in the heck would Alec even trust Avery after all we’ve seen and what the swamp has told him). ARGH!! This episode was so disappointing. .

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland.

Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E.
