Blindspot Season 1 Episode 2 "A Stray Howl" Review


A tattoo points to an Air Force pilot with a difficult past; a disturbing memory haunts Jane; Weller believes he knows Jane's identity.

This was a very good episode that I felt helped to set more of a mood for what the show will actually be like. Because this episode was definitely slower moving then the last, but unlike some other peoples reviews that I seen I really didn't care either way about it. I'm very cereous to see what they will do with Weller's theory on Jane. This was just over all a very exiting episode that had a lot of fun with drones and showing just a tinny bit of how scary they are. I'm very curious to see where the next tattoo will lead them.

Scorpion Season 2 Episode 2 "Cuba Libre" Review


When a woman from Cabe's past asks for help apprehending a war criminal, the members of Team Scorpion travel to Cuba.

This is defiantly a way better episode then the first one. Except for the one scene when Page is getting out of the water Baywatch style. This was a very high stakes but funny episode that I really enjoyed. The whole bank robbing scene was my favorite with how clever all the things they did to get into and out of the bank. And the whole episode was very energetic and fast paced and way more enjoyable to watch compared to the last episode. I wasn't a big fan of the one girl from Cable's past she was a little off by the quick changing of her emotions but over all it was a really good episode.


Gotham Season 2 Episode 2 "Knock Knock" Review


After his reinstatement, Gordon tackles the deadly inmate escape from Arkham Asylum; Bruce turns to a friend of his father's for help; Nygma tries to ask Kristin Kringle out.

This was a very good introduction of the villains episode. Jerome and his group of villains did a very good job of creating panic in Gotham, I just wish they would have used Barbra for more then just a toy to lead Gorden in the wrong direction. They seem to have it all set up now with the heroes all back together and a bunch of villains to deal with.I am very exited to see what will happen next.

Quantico Season 1 Episode 1 "Run" Review


One of the diverse recruits -- the best and the brightest -- who arrives at the FBI Quantico Base for training is suspected of masterminding a terrorist attack.

This was a very good first episode to introduce a lot of the characters and held up to the expectation I was hopping for it. I love the idea that you meet the terrorist as one of the main characters and they only give you just enough information that you have to figure out who the criminal is as well. This is another show that I kind of wish wasn't told in flashbacks, but instead you see the whole back story in time and then move onto this other story about the terrorist attack. This show is also very willing to kill off main people, with getting ride of two of them just in the first episode. I'm very exited to see what they'll do in the next episode and for me at least every character seems to be fully willing to be the master criminal in disguise.  

Once Upon a Time Season 5 Episode 1 "The Dark Swan" Review


Those searching for Emma receive help from unexpected allies; Emma struggles to resist her dark urges as she tries to find Merlin before her transformation is complete.

This was a very great season opening episode with a lot seeming to happen in this one episode. Compared to there usual style where they drag problems out over many episodes most that came up seemed to be solved. I loved the characters of Merida and Merlin and still on the fence about Author so will see when more episodes come up. It's a little annoying that they decided to go back to what they did in seasons prier with having everyone go on an adventure but then have no one remember it. It does make a good story to be able to show Emma in her full dark one form, but it would have been fun to see the adventure not in flashback form. but we'll see what the writers do with the story next.

Heroes Reborn Season 1 Episode 1 "Brave New World" Review


People with extraordinary abilities go into hiding after they are blamed for a devastating terrorist attack; Luke and Joanne Collins are determined to avenge the loss of their son; a conspiracy theorist looks for Noah Bennett

This 2 hour opener did get a little long with trying to introduce some of the new characters as well as bring back some of the old. This is defiantly a show that you need the original Heroes and watch the little extra videos that they put out on YouTube to get the full understanding of what is going on. So it really seems hard for anyone new to the series to understand what is fully going on. I only got through 1 1/2 seasons of the Heroes so a lot of the stuff that the bring up I'm confused and don't fully understand because I haven't learned about it yet. I really love the character of Katana Girl and exited to see what happens with her next. I think the whole thing with Clare is a little weird because she is invincible so how could she have died in that explosion was weird on why they even tried to put that in our heads. I do really enjoy the series of Heroes so I will keep watching this I'm just a little sad that it is only aimed for the old fans and makes it difficult for the new fans to get into the series.

Young and Hungry Season 2 Episode 17 "Young and Trashy" Review


After Gabi and Sofia learn that the thrift-store turtleneck they purchased for Josh once belonged to Steve Jobs, they try to get it back.

This was a very funny episode with an ending I really didn't expect. I mean the whole Steve Jobs t-shirt thing I guessed the minute they brought up his name. But the rest was just crazy but funny. The whole bobble head thing was kind of creepy. The line that Gabi brought up to Josh was very inspirational that even Steve Jobs had some filers. In the end Yolanda got to have some fun messing with Elliot, and this was a very great episode.

Young and Hungry Season 2 Episode 16 "Young and How Sofia Got Her Groove Back" Review


Gabi attempts to keep Sofia from moving back to Florida. Elliot and Yolanda's exercise routine yields more pain then gain. Josh is emasculated following a date with a spin instructor.

This was a very funny and good episode that seemed to give each character a good amount of screen time. I felt the acting for Sofia was a little off on how sad she was (or was not) for having to move back to Florida. But I do love that she finally has a job again after making her stoop as low as the show put in this episode. The whole olive oil comparison joke was really funny and well done. Over all a really funny episode and I'm exited to see what will happen next.

Minority Report Season 1 Episode 1 "Pilot" Review


Dash is one of the twin precogs from the precrime program that was shown in the movie. But years after the precrime program has been abolished Dash is trying to use his visions of future murders to try and stop them before they happen. And with detective Lara Vega he works to try and save the mayors wife and hundred of other people.

This first episode defiantly did meet the excitement and hope I had for this show. Now I have yet to actually see the movie Minority Report so I'm not entirely sure if there was an references to the movie in the show. But even without seeing the movie I followed the show with ease following everything. I love all the seconds where Lara tells Dash that is he sees anything to tell her and the chaos of how each time that works out. And this is just the first episode so I can't really make my full opinion yet but I can say I'm really exited to see what happens next.

Blindspot Season 1 Episode 1 "Pilot"


When a mysterious Jane Doe shows up naked in time square without any knowledge of who she is and fresh tattoos all over her body. One of those tattoos is the name of FBI agent Kurt Weller and another is a location and the current date leading to a Chinese man planning to blow up the statue of liberty.

This was a very good first episode that defiantly kept up with the hype the trailer set up for it. This series just from the first episode really reminds me of the Blacklist and how it started out just replace Reddington with a bunch of tattoos. Now I can't say much for my opinion because this was just the first episode. But just based on that I'm really exited to see what will happen next and I hope it will keep going as strong as this first episode.

Scorpian Season 2 Episode 1 "Satellite of Love" Review


A Russian satellite is crashing towards earth and team scorpion must put a stop to it. Are they able to stop the satellite before it hits California creating a nuclear explosion. Even when all the team is not working at there optimal best and secrets are being held.

I very good new season episode, but honestly not really a favorite of mine. This episode just had a lot to do with the growth of the relationship between Walter and Page. And they where trying to show Walter off his game but it all just seemed to drag on to long with so many different solution to one problem. The scene with Walter and Page in the weather balloon was just weird for why was the low pressure only effecting Page when Walter technically had a concussion. Over all I'm very exited to see what they'll do with the rest of this season but this episode I felt wasn't a very good opener for the season it was more of an episode for the middle when the writers know they have there audience hooked and plot really doesn't matter.

Gotham Season 2 Episode 1 "The Last Laugh" Review


Gordon looses his job at the GCPD and has to do some dirty deeds for Oswald in order to get back in. Barbra and Jerome along with other inmates get kidnaped from Arkham Asylum to be organized to work as a team. Bruce and Alfred try an brake into the safe that Mr. Wayne left behind.

This was a very good opener for the season and I'm exited to see where they are going to go with each of the characters. I found the blue gas that Zaardon spread was a little weird of a way to knock masses of people out. And the fact that the blue smoke only appeared when he was unconscious just didn't seem right. I loved the scene between the GCPD head and Oswald and Victor. And Victor is still probably one of my favorite characters in the series. Another character that is starting to grow in my favor is Jerome aka the joker I'm exited to see how his story unfolds and according to the season preview he seems to get into a lot of mischief. So over all I can't wait to see what they will do with the rest of the season with what happened in this episode. And I hope that some of the future villains of Gotham that they introduced last season each make a come back here.

Young and Hungry Season 2 Episode 15 "Young and Earthquake" Review


A fortuneteller's accurate prediction of an earthquake causes problems for Gabi and Sofia. Yolanda helps Josh confront his fear of aftershock.

This was a very funny and really good episode. I love the little details that they put into each of the fortunes and the way each played out. I really liked the joke in the beginning that says when ever you read a fortune cookie end it with in bed. And again Sofia keeps me really curious with wondering what's going to happen to her now with her new doctor buddy. Over all this is defiantly one of my favorite episodes.

Young and Hungry Season 2 Episode 14 "Young and Oh Brother!" Review


Sofia's younger brother arrives in San Francisco and asks Gabi out on a date. Causing many breaks between Gabi and Sofia's friendship. Josh and Yolanda scramble to plan a last minute bachelor party for Elliot.
This was a very cute episode with a lot of big cheesy happy ending. It was very funny and well written. I loved all the twist and turns each character took to solve there problems. And I really loved the line "A few minutes ago you where so far in the closet you where in Narnia. "  I'm still very curious what there going to do with Sofia needing a job, and I wonder if there going to show Elliot and Alan's wedding and when that will be. Over all this was a very great and funny episode.

Young and Hungry Season 2 episode 13 "Young and Unemployed" Review


This episode is basically about Sofia loses her job and her boyfriend dumps her. So to try and pick her back up Gabi tries to get Sofa a job working for Josh. But when that doesn't work out the lies continue to spread. On the flip side Alan is eager to meet Elliot's mother much to Elliot's dismay and by accident Elliot convinces his mother that he is actually engaged to Josh. And those lies continue to spread as well.

This was a very good episode to continue to develop and get rid of characters. as well as introduce to character of Elliot's mother, after the episode where Gabi first tells Elliot's parents about his being gay. Very well acted in the since of how each person responded to the lies. I absolutely loved the role of Elliot's mother and I hope she comes back. I'm also very curious about what there going to do with Sofia now that she lost her job. But over all a very good episode.
