Agents of SHIELD Season 3 Episode 12 "The Inside Man" Review


Coulson and the team investigate an international conference on the fate of the Inhumans. Back on the bus, Fitzsimmons may have found a way to stop the Inhuman gene from spreading.


This was a very interesting episode that focused more on Coulson then anyone else. I really enjoyed the opening scene with Coulson meeting up with Talbot at the airport and there whole conversation was really interesting with how much they still hate each other. Then I also enjoyed that scene with it being Lincoln's fist major field assessment, and he was being looked after by May. And that scene with Lincoln was fun but I still feel like if he is going to stay with the team he is better for the team if he stays working in the labs. Then the actual conference that Coulson and Talbot went to was fun with the fact of how bad Talbot was at looking for clues to try and figure out who there is working for Hydra. And at the end of the conference finding out who the inside person actually is I was not expecting and I'm still aa little shocked by it. The whole part with Daisy and them finding so what of a cure for the Inhuman gene seemed a little terrible because I completely understand where Fitzsimmons and Lincoln are coming from with it and saying that not all Inhumans deserve to go through the change or want it. So having the ability for a person to choose again I think is a really smart idea. I'm wondering with how this episode ended is Talbot's son an Inhuman or was the whole situation more of just a threat. And I still really want to know more about the person inside of Ward. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I really can't wait for the next one.

Once Upon A Time Season 5 Episode 15 "The Brothers Jones" Review


A surprise visit from hooks brother Liam May provide Hook and Emma with the tools they need to defeat Hades; and in flashbacks, the bond between the Jones Brothers is tested as their merchant ships head into a storm.

This was a very interesting episode that definitely did a good job at staying all around Hook for the majority of the story. I did find it a little weird at first how different Killian and Liam look from when we first meet the too of them in Neverland. But by the end of this episode I came to the conclusion that it was because of them being pirates over them being a part of the kings navy like when we first meet them. It was a little weird in my mind when it came to Liam's unfinished business because this sadden version of him when it came to what he had to do didn't seem to exist at all in our fist meeting of him. Bringing the storybook back into play in this episode was really clever with it being a whole sperate book for everyone in the underworlds story. I'm very curious to know what version of Hades story they are going to go with that exposes his weakness or whatever to make it so that he had to get the pages destroyed over them falling in that hands of the heroes. Because dose his weakness involve Persephone or just the secret the ending of this episode showed or are some how both the same, which if that is true I'm not excited for that because she doesn't deserve any more power then she has already been given. Henery's whole part seemed really confusing because it seemed a little like he didn't have a plan until he was telling us the plan, but it is nice to see a little bit more rebellious Henery who is thinking a bit more for himself. Over all this was and interesting and fairly good episode.

Arrow Season 4 Episode 11 "A.W.O.L." Review


An agent of Shadowspire who was an enemy from Diggle and Andy's wartime past shows up to Star City. Diggle must learn to trust Andy but he got more than he wanted about their shared time from war. Oliver, however, must learn a new way of life when Felicity is now in a wheelchair and receives her codename.

This was a really great recovery episode for Felicity and a really great episode to have Diggle and his wife as the main people. I enjoyed the moments of reconnection between Diggle and his brother Andy as though this episode they learn to trust each other and learn to get along again. And all the flashbacks between the two where it shows that Andy and Shadowspire had been working under his nose all this time with out his noticing was really great, and a bit of a sad moment. All the moments with Felicity were also really great and so well acted, especially all the scenes where she has to talk with a past version of herself, because I understand how hard it can be to stay in character for scenes like that. Everything with her was so well organized in how it was constructed and made a very well flowing story. Then having Felicity's code name being Overwatch and not the highly theorized Oracle was very smart so that maybe in the future of there ever growing world Barbara Gordon maybe can make and appearance as the Oracle as the comic books have it. Over all this was a really great episode the focused more of the secondary characters over Oliver and I really enjoyed that.     

Captain America: Civil War Review


Political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability when the actions of the Avengers lead to collateral damage. The new status quo deeply divides members of the team. Captain America (Chris Evans) believes superheroes should remain free to defend humanity without government interference. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) sharply disagrees and supports oversight. As the debate escalates into an all-out feud, Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) must pick a side. 

Now this was a really funny and really great film that definitely did feel a lot like what people are talking about where it was more of like a third Avengers movie that it was a Captain America movie. I really really love the scene that they show the most in the trailer is which is the whole airport fight scene and even seeing that scene in theaters for me and my brother when we saw that that was the thing I was going down we both got really excited about it definitely did hold up to the heights that the trailer put out for that scene to have. And I did love that it showed finally having Ant Man turn into Giant Man and fully bringing Spider-Man into the whole franchise. And it just was a good sort of moment to show all the different characters and what they can do and how they fight and all the stuff and it did have some humor in it but I definitely was an action scene and it was really really amazing.

The movie also did a good job at showing a bit of Black Panther's backstory which I'm not as familiar with it as other superheroes stories so I knew that he was the king of Wakanda, and I got a little confused with it at first when it shows someone else who wasn't him but then as the movie progressed I understand that this was him becoming King.

And the movie also did a really good job making the actual plot of the whole villen in this movie and they did a really good job at hiding what his plan was until the end where the whole plan was reviled. Showing that his plan was from the beginning to have this whole war between Captain America and Iron Man. How he planned to do that turned out great but it also was weird because there're so many things that could change that could have dropped his plan from ever happen but he managed to work around other people so well that it still ended up happening.

And this movie did have some points that it felt like it was getting a little long and it just felt like they were charging through mud and not going anywhere. But it did also have a lot of really good action scenes like when they are at the airport and like the ending scene that really did hold up comparing against those really long moments. But there was so many long moments compared to those action moments it was kind of boring but still overall a really good movie.

 And I enjoy when they first introduced Spider-Man and they had his Aunt May and they did do a good job at poking fun at the fact that she was so much younger than all the other past actresses who played Aunt May and the fact that they were willing to poke fun at that instead of just having it be okay if there's this young actress playing Aunt May and there's nothing weird about her compared to all the other past Spider-Man movies. The fact that they did poke fun at the age was really great.

So this movie did have some longer parts that I wasn't a fan of, but overall it was still a really great movie that I'd recommend to anyone who's been watching the Marvel movies because it definitely is an important and a very impactful one to set up all the next movie to come with Dr. Strange and the rest I'm feeling it is an important movie. It is a long movie with it being 2 hours and 27 minutes and it does have someone long parts, but overall it is a very good movie.

The Flash Season 2 Episode 11 "The Reverse-Flash Returns" Review


Dr. Harrison figures out how to induce Cisco's ability. They hence learn that Eobard Thawne is still alive. Iris is saying farewell to her mother. Patty realizes there's more to Barry than meets the eye.

This was a really great episode to take away and bring back some characters. The whole episode revolves around Thawne coming back but in his timeline, it is all before he does the things in the past seasons like kill Barry's mother. Then on the other side, it is about Patty officially leaving Central City. Which that whole part was really sad because it seems so much like she doesn't want to leave and it really is all up to Barry to decide if she leaves or not and he really is just pushing her away. Which does seem a bit out of character for Patty because in the episode before she seemed so determined to leave and then in this episode it just seems like she never really wanted to but everyone is just driving her away. I really loved that we got to see more of Cisco using his quake powers and some of the repercussions because of that and all the time travel that was going on. It was really interesting how they chose to explain how Thawne is still around is because his universe still exists in a pocket universe that hasn't completely gone away yet. And Dr.Wells did a good job of sticking to the rules of time travel and making sure that Barry never shows Thawne his face and let him hear his name because of the problems that could cause. Then also having this episode show some of the problems with time travel with having someone almost disappear from existence. Then the ending of this episode was a really cute way for Barry and Patty to say goodbye which was something they were kind of avoiding doing throughout the episode. So overall this was a really great and fun episode.

Gotham Season 2 Episode 13 "A Dead Man Feels No Cold" Review


Gordon and Bullock look to Nora for help in their search for Victor, Penguin meets Hugo Strange.

This was a really amazing episode to wrap up the introduction of Mr. Freeze and really get into the greater brand of his story as well as the story with Dr. Strange. Which with every new scene that comes out with the story, I'm more and more excited to see what Dr. Strange has planned out for the city, and I really hope all this excitement doesn't let me down. I loved the idea that this whole episode was a part of that helped to bring Dr. Strange and Arkham Asylum in with the story of Gordon and Mr. Freeze having both those stories happening simultaneously in the same place was really fun and interesting of an approach so that the story isn't bouncing around as much. I'm really curious to see what his going to happen to Penguin after all that he was going through in this episode. The story plot between Gordon and Leslie is a little annoying because they always seem to be fighting nowadays and for some reason that is making me start to guess that Leslie might not make it to the end of this season. All the parts with Bruce were interesting but not that exciting, however, I really kind of want to see a standoff between Alfred and Bruce over his parents killer. Or have Bruce be the one who kills him and see how that affects him over time to become this great hero who doesn't kill that Batman is known to be. The ending of this episode was really unexpected and I really can't wait for what is next.

Young and Hungry Season 3 Episode 4 "Young & Parents" Review


Josh and Gabi's relationship is tested when their parents meet; Sofia, Yolanda, and Elliot have a little too much fun at the movies.


this was a nice episode in comparison to the last two episodes but it really is starting to get a bit boring of a show. Bringing in and finally introducing both Josh's mother and Gabi's father was nice because I was wondering for a long time what they would be like, and I wasn't too far off in my guess. All the moments with the secondary group of Yolanda, Sofia, and Elliot was a better story part the brought up the themes of some of the racial stereotyping in America in a very comedic way and I enjoyed how that whole problem actually ended. Then the whole situation with Josh, Gabi, and there families I wasn't expecting it to go they way it did and it was funny when Josh made the comparison to the Lannister family. The ending of the episode was also not how I was expecting it to go but I'm actually excited to see where this might lead the group next. Overall this episode is a lot better than the past ones this season and I'm very happy about that.

Scorpion Season 2 Episode 18 "The Fast & the Nerdiest" Review


After Sylvester scores big on THE PRICE IS RIGHT, Team Scorpion must infiltrate a high-end car smuggling operation about to ship bioweapons to South America.

This was a really great and interesting episode that gave a little more on Cabe's backstory. I loved every part of the opening The Price is Right scene where Sylvester did the whole show without even stopping to hear the directions and he won basically everything. And then afterwards having the whole garage just full of all his prizes he is trying to sell off for money was all really great. It was pretty easy not to trust Cabe's friend which I'm not the happiest about because I wanted to feel more when he backstabbed them but instead I felt more like they should have seen it coming. The moment with the drag race was also really great and funny with how much time Walter managed to buy before actually racing. The ending was also really great with Walter finally admitting to the fact that he is super self-obsessed, and the moment with Happy and Toby was really sweet., and Cabe was just great to end the whole episode. So Overall this episode was great but I will say it had a few moments in there that get pretty long.

Young and Hungry Season 3 Episode 3 "Young & First Date" Review


Josh and Gabi aim to have a perfect first date, but ultimately have to come to terms with the fact that "perfect" just isn't for them.

This was another interesting but not the greatest of episodes. I guess it is all wrapping up in my mind to say that I'm not a big fan of Gabi and Josh actually being together because it leads to really boring storey plots. This whole episode revolves around the two of them finally going on a first date. The whole idea of the failed perfect date just was overplayed to the extreme with how bad everything went. And the whole episode really kind of felt like everyone was talking through each other instead of to each other. The moment between Sofia and Gabi when Sofia finally told he that she slept with Jake was also really weird because the mood of everyone seemed to go from super angry to calmed down and good really quick. And this whole episode really made no sense what so ever. Overall I thought this episode was entertaining but not that great.

Young and Hungry Season 3 Episode 2 "Young & Coachella" Review


The Coachella music festival proves to be the perfect crowd for Gabi's munchies, though the food truck isn't the only success. With Gabi on cloud nine, Sofia looks for new company for her misery. Meanwhile, Elliot and Alan try to salvage their honeymoon.



This was a very interesting episode but not the greatest of ones. The episode was very predictable on how everything was going to go down, and it just seemed like there wasn't much to this episode. It is nice to finally have Josh and Gabi together but everything just seems to be going really fast. Which surprisingly I care for even less than I care for everything going slow like it has in the past two seasons. I knew Jake wouldn't be happy with Josh and Gabi's relationship but it was a little weird that they decided to go about as though he was doing all the things to sabotage the relationship unconsciously. And I knew that at the end of the day Sofia was going to end up hooking up with Jake. So overall this episode was definitely entertaining but it was very predictable and not the greatest of episodes.
