Agents of SHIELD Season 4 Episode 7 "Deals with Our Devils" Review
With the loss of half the team, the remaining members search for answers as the clock counts down for Ghost Rider.
This was a very interesting episode that I kind of like for how everything played out and the way everything was shown. I did kind of like the whole idea of showing the real version of events and then going and showing those same events from the ghost dimension that Coulson, Fitz, and Robbie are stuck in. I liked it but become the would be re-showing the same scene twice it did get a little boring to hear the same conversations again. I did really like that they did address Simmons going missing and showing what she was up to. Those moments were kind of really interesting and I hope they come back as some kind of importance in the future with the guy now coming out of Terrigenisis. The scenes with Daisy and Robbie were really fun with them trying to track down Mack and Robbie freaking out as Daisy scratches up his car. Then I really loved the scene with Robbie and the Rider finally talking to each other and making a deal that they both agree on and understand. Aida in this episode was kind of cool to see her truly helping out and doing things that the humans couldn't. I want to know how is could see Fitz and Coulson in the ghost dimension because that seemed like such a weird moment to me. And I really want to know what Aida has planned with how this episode ended on her. And just overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for more.
The Flash Season 3 Episode 8 "Invasion!" Review
Barry asks Green Arrow for help when aliens attack Central City, but
when they realize that won't be enough, they track down the Legends of
Tomorrow so they can bring Supergirl in on the battle.
This was such a great starter episode to the big team up, some parts were a little confusing and hard to follow, but it was just so much fun. It is a little weird how much Cisco seems to not like Barry which to some degree I can understand but it is also going a bit too overboard for my liking, with him basically handing Barry over to be ridiculed by the rest of the group. And them just laying on more issues because of Barry messing with the timeline is good too and extent because Barry should understand the consequences of his actions but the fact that it all keeps getting laid on there is getting a little tiresome with it being bad thing after bad thing. It was such a cool moment seeing all the different teams gathering together to work through this problem. It was a little weird how Barry took Oliver and Diggle away from fighting the Vigilante but didn't do anything to stop the Vigilante. It was really cool to see Oliver kind of step up to be the leader because he truly is the one who started all of this mess or people. The aliens were kind of interesting but also really hard to follow on what their plan actually is. It was really cool to see Barry and Oliver fight up against all the other heroes who are affected by the alien's weapon. I kind of like the idea of HR and Wally working in secret on training Wally to become a hero, but I also don't like it because I'm having a hard time trusting HR still. The ending of this episode actually leaves we super excited to see what will happen next now that they kind of split the teams up to some extent. Overall this was a really fun episode and I can't wait to see more.

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 8 "Medusa" Review
As Eliza comes to National City for Thanksgiving, Kara turns to Lena for help when Cadmus unleashes a virus that instantly kills aliens, then is asked by Barry Allen and Cisco Ramon for help with an alien invasion on their Earth.
This was such a great episode that had so many really great moments to it that was just really fun to watch. I did like in the beginning of this episode where James and Alex are fighting over whose moment this Thanksgiving dinner is going to be for. Whether it is going to be about Alex coming out to everyone or if it will be James telling Kara he is the Guardian. The whole Medusa sickness is kind of cool but I don't quite understand how it worked. Because originally it was made by the Kryptonians to kill off all other aliens that aren't Kryptonian, but then for some reason, it also doesn't affect humans either. I mean I could understand if it was said that the Cadmus scientist tweaked with the virus to make it not affect humans, but I don't think that was every really brought up. It was kind of cool to see this growing relationship between Kara and Mon-El, and I want to know if Mon-el truly can't remember what happened or if he was faking it. Then bringing Eliza into the mix as a bit of the DEO's like emergency doctor was kind of cool that they chose to include her into so much of this episode. Lena's whole roll in this episode was so cool to watch as see how she is not like her brother or mother and just watching her make her own decisions on how she wants to live her life. And I really did like the line that Lena said to Supergirl which went along the line of "Your cousin went after my brother, you're going after my mother, so how long till you start coming after me." That was such a great line to throw in there because it is so true. Then the ending between Barry and Kara was so nice and simple, I do wish they could have done a bit more with it but maybe they will in The Flash episode. And just overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait to see what the rest of the episodes will bring for the major team up.
Gotham Season 3 Episode 11 "Beware the Green-Eyed Monster" Review
Mario and Gordon face off before the wedding, Selina meets an unexpected face and Barbara comes to Nygma with information about Isabella.
This was a really great and mind messing of an episode that was so much fun to watch. I loved watching Mario using the fact that he is infected with Alice's blood and unlike Barns Mario is using more of a mental manipulation to get what he want out of everything. Because Mario's whole plan seems to be to drive Gordon crazy while also giving Lee enough reason to start to hate Gordon. And with how this episode ended I don't think that hate will go away in any kind of easy way. I did like that they brought back in the way for the test for Alice's blood to be proven negative, I'm happy that they did make that an important moment in this episode and not have it be something that was kind of thrown away. Then the scene with Jervis was so great with Gordon using Jervis's love of making all he says sound like it is coming out of a storybook and tricking Jervis into saying things he doesn't want to. All the moments with Nygma in this episode were really great with how he walked around the narratives set up by Penguin to eventually find out the truth of everything. I'm kind of happy that Barbra didn't get to involved in Nygma finding out the truth but rather she kind of laid the seeds for Nygma to follow. Then Bruce trying to learn all this stuff on how to break into an area to get whatever is inside the court of owls safe was kind of cool to watch, but also a little boring because they set it up like Selina wasn't going to help out, but really, of course, she is going to help Bruce break in. But overall I have to say I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for more.

Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 9 "Changelings" Review
Mr. Gold has gone too far, he is turning back into the beast that everyone feared, He has made Belle go into labor.
This was a very interesting episode that had some good moments but I really don't know how I feel about the episode as a whole. I liked the struggle of who is worse between Gold and the Evil Queen where there once growing relationship is now completely broken and falling apart. The fight between Zelena and the Evil Queen I was really hoping that there would be more to it because that is a fight I would rather enjoying watching, but Zelena just went and got the crap beaten out of her without even trying to fight back. It was nice to have Regina back in the picture with Zelena after they have been ignoring each other even if it wasn't fully intentional to do so. All the moments with Belle were really great both in the current times and flashback moments. I liked the story of how Rumple's mother is a fairy and a dark one at that it is a really interesting story idea that I hope they expand on a bit more in the future. And it was also an interesting connection they decided to make to give a reason as to why Rumple hates fairies. Then all the dream moments between Belle and her son were really well done but I wish Gideon could have explained a bit more beyond saying things like "you know what to do," or "the answer is right in front of you," those seemed like such weak lines to me. The ending was kind of cool and I liked that Belle didn't tell Gold the name of their son, that I found a very clever moment to connect to the character of Rumple and the power he can do with just simply having a name. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and it was done really well for it not being about the more main characters of the story.

The Librarains Season 3 Episode 2 "And the Fangs of Death" Review
Flynn leads the others on a rescue mission, which leads them into a subterranean trap filled with ancient Egyptian werewolves.
This was a very interesting episode that had some parts that were a little confusing and hard to follow but mostly this episode was just fun. I did really like that when they came up with the idea of werewolves they didn't stick with the classic Grimm fairy tales kind of wolf they stuck with their theme and went the Egyptian werewolf route. The whole idea of being stuck in a bunker was cool to an extent because it limited the area between the wolves and the librarians but also that wasn't shown all that much because it only seemed like when they entered into the hallway to get to a different location is when the wolves would show up not when they are hanging out in an area for several minutes. Ezekiel getting bitten by the wolf was okay but I wish they would have done more with it because he really didn't seem affected until the very end of the episode. Then all the moments with Baird and Jenkins were really great to see Jenkins outside of the library and using his immortality a bit. But I don't know if I missed it or if it was never said, what was the secret between Jenkins and Flynn. Then I really liked that they brought Charlene back into the mix because I was very curious about whether or not she survived. And All the mix-ups involving her in this episode makes me really hopeful to see her again in the episodes to come. Overall this was a really entertaining and great episode that was really a lot of fun to watch.

The Flash Season 3 Episode 7 "Killer Frost" Review
The team is in for a shock, as Caitlyn is forced to reveal her Killer Frost powers. But she is not the only one with a secret.
This was a really great and interesting episode that did such a great job with Killer Frost. I loved so much how they showed off so many of Killer Frost's abilities and them doing everything from her forming icicles and giving people frost bite to showing her iconic kiss that freezes people to death. It was a little weird how she seemed to change in a way that was almost like a light switch going off. But I did have a feeling something was up in the scene were she goes and gets Joe from the police station saying there is something wrong with Wally something just felt really off there. The whole fight scene between Vibe and Killer Frost was really well done, I wish they could have done a bit more but it was still really fun to see them going after each other with Barry being there for a part of it but still it was mostly about the two of them. It was a little weird how Caitlyn seemed to turn off Killer Frost simply because Barry shows her that she is not all that bad and there is still good inside of her. Then the scene where Joe freaks out because of what happened to Caitlyn so her breaks Wally out of the cocoon early was a really cool moment with how they chose to show I with having it be a worried parent looking out for there kid and then have a switch to regret after something goes wrong. then the twist ending of who Alchemy actually is I can honestly say I was not expecting that at all and I loved it so much. And just overall I really enjoyed this episode and it had so many great moments to it.

Scorpion Season 3 Episode 9 "Mother Load" Review
Paige's estranged mother calls on Team Scorpion when she accidentally uncovers a forgotten nuclear reactor on the verge of exploding.
Supergirl Season 2 Episode 7 "The Darkest Place" Review
Supergirl comes face-to-face with Cyborg Superman when she attempts to save Mon-El from Cadmus.
This was a really fun and interesting episode that really brought Cadmus to the forefront. I did really like all the stuff surrounding the Guardian, but I wish there could have been a bit more good shown before things went really bad for him. The whole murderer going around killing people but making it look like vigilante justice was a cool idea but the way they chose to execute it fell a little flat in my mind. I also wish they could have done a bit more with the Guardian before starting to loop everyone else in to the truth, because it was kind of fun having Alex and Kara making fun of the Guardian and James and Winn sitting there trying to defend him, but now it is kind of down to just Kara who doesn't know. All the things a Cadmus was very interesting because I really liked seeing Cyborg Superman to an extent because he was really cool but also a bit to over done for my taste. Then adding yet another L.L. name to the list that I have to try and keep in order when it comes to the Luther mother is just a small annoyance that bugged me just slightly. It was cool that Cadmus managed to show more of Mon-El's powers then the DEO has in the past few episode where they showed that Mon-El is allergic to Lead and things like that. I did like that they brought Jeremiah into the mix to help Kara and Mon-El escape it was a nice moment to see him say that he is proud of Kara and Alex and just show that he is still the same guy. Then Jon J'onzz whole story I had a feeling that something was going to happen with the blood change between a green and white Martian and most of my theories about it were correct. I do have to say overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for the next one which is the big super hero team up episode.
Gotham Season 3 Episode 10 "Time Bomb" Review
A threat to Lee and Mario is exposed on the eve of their rehearsal dinner and Falcone comes to Jim for help. Meanwhile, Nygma plans his revenge and Bruce learns more about the Court of Owls.
This was a really great episode that had so many parts to it that I really enjoyed watching. All the moments with Nygma in this episode were really great with him going through all this stuff trying to make Butch feel the same way he is feeling. And with that all the moments with Barbra were really interesting to see how much she has learned from Tabitha in the way of getting information out of people. I was also interesting in how they decided to show that Butch is actually innocent by having him admit that he killed Isabella but end up describing the killing wrong. Then Bruce finding this other group that opposes the Court of Owls and are finding a way to bring them down was very cool. But I knew with the power the Court of Owls have this other group would last very long especially after coming in contact with Bruce. I still really want to know more about the key that Bruce has because they did say that it leads to the way to bring down that Court of Owls and they originally thought there was only one key and then they discovered there was two. The fact that Bruce decided to go with this other group is probably not going to end well for him either because the Court of Owls is easily not that far away from him. The whole part surrounding Mario was kind of cool because of all the different paths leading to the final solution was kind of cool. I did really like the fact that Lee and Gordon finally sort of broke up and said there goodbyes to each other. It was also really cool tat they finally started to show Alice's blood affecting Mario because I forgot that he came in contacts with some of her blood. It is a little sad though to because it just so happens that Mario goes crazy just at the moment Lee finally has the chance to be happy. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait to see what Barbra has cooked up to stir up so drama.

The Librarians Season 3 Episode 1 "And the Rise of Chaos" Review
The Egyptian God of Chaos inhabits a human, and tries to release pure evil into the world; the librarians must decipher clues in a science museum.
This was a really interesting and kind of cool episode that I really loved. Now I have said time and time again that I really loved this series, and this episode just adds more to that love. I really enjoyed the whole Egyptian theme to the episode with all the clues going back to things in Egyptian history. But the fact that some of the things also stayed relevant to some other sciences I thought was kind of cool. Then the fact that this episode managed to have a point where each of them got to use their abilities to some extent I though they did those transitions very smoothly. There were some moments that were really fun but kind of not all the necessary like the moment when there learning about things that could inhabit other things and they do it while sitting around a campfire.All the moments where the speed of the mission took place was really well done at making the necessary moment have an impact, but also making things not drag on for too long. The God of Chaos was pretty cool with how they choose to portray him, and his abilities to make people go into chaos with just a pulse of dark magic I think was a cool idea. But the fact that the pulse had a limited range to it I thought was a bit weird. I did like that they quick;y found a way to fight back against chaos by using teamwork, that was a super funny and dorky way to fix things and I enjoyed it. Then the whole premise that they original librarians first found this key to lock up all the evil and they were the ones to lock it away that was cool. But the fact that the key was beneath this random museum and the fact that the key and the lock were left so close together that just seems really odd and doesn't make any reasonable sense to me. If anything the original librarians should have known this is a very powerful and important item so hey maybe they should put it in the library. But overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait to see what the rest of the season will bring.

Pure Genius Season 1 Episode 4 "Not Your Grandmother's Robotic Surgery" Review
When James' beloved elementary school teacher is diagnosed with an
aggressive form of cancer, he tries to employ a risky robotic surgery to
save her, an approach with which Walter disagrees. Also, a military
veteran blinded in combat and riddled with guilt refuses Zoe and Talikha's high-tech treatment that could restore his vision.
This was an okay episode there were some parts that I liked and some parts that I didn't care for. I really didn't care for the fact of having this really worried James who was really acting like he only cared about one patient. It was really kind of annoying at points with how he would ask for input by the doctors and then when they wouldn't give him the answer that he wanted he would just start ignoring them. The actual robot he built to do all the surgery to help fight against the cancer was pretty cool but how I was thinking it would work is that it would be doctors and robots working together to make all the surgeries more efficient, which it eventually turned out that way, but that was not the original plan for the device. I did like all the moments with Walter trying to understand the future ways in which the hospital works while also trying to stick to his original way in which he knows works best. Those scenes were kind of sweet and really good for understanding Walter a bit more. Then I liked the ending where he eventually does end up finding a desk and a place to call his own. The Zoe working with the blind veteran I actually liked that story line a bit more than the other one. And when the truth is revealed as to why this man choices to live in his blindness and pain, it is so sad with how much guilt this one guy puts on himself. But the ending for him was so sweet and nice and I loved it so much. And just overall this was a really entertaining episode but it defiantly wasn't a favorite of mine.

Code Black Season 2 Episode 7 "What Lies Beneath" Review
Willis and Campbell are sent to a Russian submarine in U.S. waters to treat a sailor badly wounded during an explosion, and violent convicts injured during a prison riot descend upon Angels Memorial.
This was a really great episode that messed with several of the characters emotions and was really crazy. I loved all the parts with Willis and Campbell on the submarine and them dealing with all the mess involved with that. It was kind of cool that in the last episode in had a chunk where Willis is learning more about Campbell, and then in this episode it is more of Campbell learning about Willis. And just having the two of them working together to help the injured sailors was really nice. The twist of who the main injured sailor was I was not expecting that and the fact that the captain shot the other guy because the two doctors were helping him was a surprise. And just the fact that he shot the poor guy when they had little other to do because the other main guy was for the moment perfectly fine, so why not help the other injured people. The convicts were very interesting because there whole conflict between each other was really hard to follow. Then the main officer was nice and really well acted and I enjoyed the line of "you can't show weakness to these guys." When the one convict escaped that was a little confusing because why wouldn't they check Leanne's office because out of all the places that seemed like the closest place to hide. Then Pinkey getting angry about saving the convicts life was an okay scene but it was a little annoying to me because it is a scene that is played out in almost every medical show and I even think it might be the second time it was shown in this show so it was a little tiresome and nothing really all that new so it was a little annoying. Overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait for more.
American Horror Story Roanoke Episode 10 "Chapter 10" Review
Lee Harris, the lone survivor of Return to Roanoke: Three Days in Hell, agrees to an interview live on television, the Lana Winters Special.
This was a very interesting way to end this season that had plenty of surprises and fun to it. I knew going into this episode that some way some how Lee was not going to make it to the end, and I was right about that. I did really like that they brought Lana Winters back and they did a good job at bringing back some of the things from Asylum and kind of explaining in little bits what Lana has been up to since Asylum. Then the actual interview between Lee and Lana was really cool with how they interacted with each other and it was made even better by how they were interrupted. This episode was a little weird with how much it jumped around from story to story but it also made some sense because they needed to do that in order to wrap everything up nicely. The beginning moments with the court cases was a little weird and felt like it went on for a bit too long. I did feel bad for Flora because everyone seemed to push off her thoughts as just being a scared kid who went through some tough times. The ghost hunters going into the Roanoke house to investigate the hauntings was really fun and I laughed at the line that was like "people have been asking to investigate this house for years and been denied, so we didn't ask." And when Lee popped up I thought she had gone all butcher crazy again and kill them all, but that didn't happen. I do wish they would have shown a bit more of some of the ghosts in those final moments, but still what they did show was really fun. Then the standoff with the police at the house was interesting especially when you just focus on Flora's part in all of it. It is still a little weird to me with how dedicated Flora seems to be with Priscilla. And the final choice that Lee made for Flora was very interesting and kind of unexpected, but at least in that way, no one else will own the house. Then the actual ending was a little confusing because I saw the villagers and the butcher coming up to the house so did they kill all the police and cameramen standing outside the house watching it burn or were the ghost just watching the house too. Overall this was a really great season I would probably place it in the number three spot of the seasons so far, and I can't wait to see what they'll do for the next season.

Arrow Season 5 Episode 7 "Vigilante" Review
Oliver discovers there's a new vigilante in Star City when the bodies
of two criminals are dropped at the SCPD. In flashbacks, Oliver faces
Konstantin Kovar.
This was a very interesting and kind of cool episode that managed to be very well organized and make things well known without being too long. I liked this newer vigilante and how they were like Oliver was in the first season. It was also fun when the comment was made about how they team was okay with having this vigilante running around killing people but when it was brought up that Oliver used to do similar things they were offended and hated him for it. Having John be all upset about not being there for him sons birthday was kind of cool to see a non-calm version of him, but it was weird because his anger was very scattered and there one moment and gone the next. Then Lance's whole ordeal makes me still really curious about what is the truth and whether or not someone could be framing him because they know of a link between him and Oliver. The bank robbers seemed a little random and like they were really only there to give a better connection between the team and the new vigilante. The whole bank robbing scene was really fun and well done, I especially enjoyed the line of "we are really good at this, I think we picked the wrong career." It was a little weird how both Curtis and Evelyn didn't notice the vigilante sneak up on them and even weirder how the rest of the team didn't hear them getting attacked over them coms. I really hope to see more of the vigilante in the future because they seem like a really interesting character and I want to know who they are. Overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait for the next one which is the big all teams team up across all the different shows.

The Flash Season 3 Episode 6 "Shade" Review
Wally has visions of being Kid Flash, so Barry must tell him about what happened in Flashpoint to keep him safe.
This was a very interesting episode that had some moments that got a little long, but for the most part, it was really fun to watch. I like that they finally are doing stuff with Alchemy, I wish they would have done a bit more, but still the one major scene he was in it was done really well. Then it was kind of cool to see what Alchemy did to the people as he talked to them and tried to convince them to find him. That was nice to see that they kept the similarities between when Wally was affected and when Magenta was affected. Wally's whole quest to be a hero is getting a little annoying to hear, and that goes for both sides of the argument. I kind of like the growing separation I am sensing between Iris and Barry but I don't care for how slowly everything seems to be going for them. The whole movie scene was really fun and had great little moments in there. Caitlin telling Cisco about her abilities I think was really great to some degree so maybe there is a way for her to not fully follow in her comics footprints because she has people there who will support her. But with what Cisco's vision showed there might be some conflict before that come together moment happens. H.R.'s device to disguise himself and be able to leave S.T.A.R. labs and do some other things I think is kind of cool but also a little strange because in the last few episodes hasn't he been leaving to go and get coffee and food and stuff, so why is this all being brought up just now in this episode. Then H.R.'s whole plan to reopen S.T.A.R. labs to some degree is a very interesting idea because is makes sense to make them all seem less suspicious as to why they are always hanging out in a supposed empty lab. But also it is a little dangerous because anyone could easily walk in on them working. Overall I enjoyed this episode and I can't wait to see what the next one will bring.
Scorpion Season 3 Episode 8 "Sly and the Family Stone" Review
The one-year memorial of Megan, lead the team to an explosion. Which could wipe out the entire country.
This was a really interesting episode that going into it I didn’t really know what to expect but I was really surprised and I enjoyed it a lot. I liked the fact that Sylvester seemed all worried to meet Walter and Megan’s family just to have it discovered that he is already pretty close to them all. It was a little sad however when the comment was made that they all trust Sylvester but not Walter even though they both are coming up with similar ideas all through this episode. Then the relationship between Walter and Tim was fun to see in this episode with how they could trust each other in some problems but then as soon as something went wrong they hate each other again. Then it was cool to see them use some of Tim’s specialties to eventually fix the problems. Then the fight scene between Walter and the two neighbor boys was really great to see. Then the ending where Walter kind of gains some relationship with some of his family members was really nice to see. I really liked the moments with Happy and Toby back at the garage and Happy being sick of living with Cabe. Then the ending where it is discovered that Toby wants a big wedding wasn’t all that surprising to me with the personality he has, but the fact that Happy was willing to agree with that idea I thought was really sweet. Overall this was a really great and fun episode and I can’t wait for more.

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 6 "Changing" Review
The Guardian arrives to lend a hand when an alien parasite drains Supergirl of her power. Mon-El contemplates his motives when he considers a new career. Alex faces a new reality.
This was an interesting episode that had some parts I really liked and some things I didn't care much for. The parts with Alex working though her new realizations about her life and gaining the confidence to tell Kara I thought it was really well done in how they decided to show everything. But it was a little overdone in how quickly Alex seemed to jump back and forth on her opinions when things didn't go right for her. But that could easily be because I never really had to go through the whole deal of coming out because I come from a family people who respect everyone to live their lives the way they want to. So maybe this is a little bit of a normal thing, but it just felt a little odd to me. Then the training scene between Mon-El and Kara was really funny to see the two of them interacting with each other. The main villain in this episode was a really interesting creature that was very much like the Thing at first but grew into an even weird creature as it got stronger. Then it's whole plan to save the Earth from global warming was such a goofy concept in my mind. I was really cool to see Mon-El and James stepping up to be heroes when Supergirl couldn't be there. And seeing James in the whole Guardian suit was really fun I especially like it for the fact that Winn made it out of lead so that Kara could see him with her x-ray vision. Then I wonder if there is going to be a difference in the blood between a white martian and green martian or if it is just more of a moral thing that was making Miss Martian hesitant to give him her blood. Then I can't wait to see what will happen when Hank figures out the truth about Miss Martian. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for the next one.

Gotham Season 3 Episode 9 "The Executioner" Review
Gordon and Bullock become suspicious of Barnes and go through evidence of a murder at Lee and Mario's engagement party. Nygma goes to Penguin when he doesn't hear from Isabella. Ivy leads Selina and Bruce to trouble when she reveals her identity.
This was a really great episode to wrap up everything that happened in the last episode as well as try to add something for future episodes. I loved all the scenes with Gordon and him trying to sneak around Barnes and figure out what the truth is. The number of bodies that Barnes was leaving behind does make me wonder why they didn't talk about the massive amount of dead people in the city more, but that could easily be a timing thing and nothing more. Then I'm curious to know how Barnes realized that Gordon was on to him because he went from suspicious to killer pretty quickly after just a few odd things that Gordon was doing. The whole chase scene between Gordon and Barnes was really great, and I love how the police wouldn't believe Bullock if he says that Barnes was sick so Bullock had to get Lee's help. The moments with Ivy were great for the fact of being able to see more of her and I like that she doesn't have her normal comic powers per say but she is using her knowledge of plants to be almost like a superpower which I really like. Then the key that the group found I curious to know more about that and who the group is that is trying to track them down. Then Nygma on the investigation to figure out what happened to Isabella had some good moments to it but for the most part, it was a little boring. I like the scene where he is at the train line putting the clues together in his head, that was fun to see him using his brain to see the parts that don't add up. Overall this was a fun episode to watch and had some parts to it that I really enjoyed.

Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 8 "I'll Be Your Mirror" Review
Emma and Regina work together and form a plan to trap the Evil Queen, while Snow White and David get used to life without each other. Henry anxiously prepares to take Violet to the school dance, but the Evil Queen has other plans. Meanwhile, Zelena and Belle form an alliance and recruit Aladdin to steal a magical object from Mr. Gold that could protect Belle and her unborn child from him forever.
This was a really interesting and great episode that was really entertaining to watch. I loved seeing the land of mirrors and that fact that they were willing to harken back at least in one moment to when Sidney used to live in this world. Then it was made even better by the fact that they brought the Dragon back into the mix which was really cool to see but I wish they would have done a bit more with him. The Evil Queen's whole plan to get Henry to understand her more seemed a little far fetch that she thought she could make Henry hurt anybody no matter who's life is at stake. I do want to know a bit more about the hammer she gave to Henry because I'm not all that familiar with it and I didn't quite catch the name of it. Then how does the Evil Queen expect Henry to accept her when in the event he doesn't do what she asks she calls him weak, that is not how you gain trust lady. The parts with Snow and David were nice to see but not all that exciting because it basically went down the way I was expecting it to go. Then all the scenes with Belle were really great in seeing her work through this elaborate plan to try and get away from Gold. I like the scene with Aladdin where we finally get to see him be his self and break into Gold's shop to retrieve some items. I really can't wait to see what they'll do with the genie even though it is supposedly a different genie from the original one. Then I also liked seeing a bit more self-absorbed Jasmine in this episode where at first all she cared about was her own mission to find Agrabah. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and it ended with so many doors left open I can't wait to see what will happen when it comes back in a few weeks.

Pure Genius Season 1 Episode 3 "You Must Remember This" Review
The team tries reconstructing a police officer's brain when he loses his memory in a car accident.
This was a really great and interesting episode that had some parts that were a little confusing. The talk at the beginning where Zoe was concerned about a tape that showed her kissing Malik was a little weird of a moment because it kind of came out of nowhere because they never showed the two of them kissing. And then the fact that Zoe's emotions towards the kiss seemed to be all over the place didn't really help either. The patient who was having the memory loss was a little interesting with how James at first didn't seem to believe it was really but then learned to accept it once he got to know the guy. And the two actors who played the memory loss husband and his wife were so good at playing both their parts and showing the growing distance between the two of them because of the fact that the husband can't fully remember her. The two different experiments they did on him to work on his memory were kind of cool because it made a lot of sense in using that stuff to reactivate the brain, and it was really fun to see how excited James was in wanting to reprogram someone's brain. Then the ending for the patient and his wife was so sweet and kind of nice because it like wasn't perfect in he didn't remember everything but you could see that he was willing to work on it. The patient who was struggling to lose weight I really liked for the device they used to try and help her loose weight, then what was actually wrong with her and was the cause of why she was always hungry was very interesting to see. Then the relationship between her and her sister was really interesting with how close they were and kind of depended on each other, and with that I liked the line of "you are not the strongest version of yourself when I'm around and I'm not the strongest with you so I'm going to go." And just everything about that story plot was so sweet and had a lot of heart behind it with this women how has lost all hope and the doctors of Bunker Hill refuse to give up on her. Overall this was a really great and sweet episode that I enjoyed watching.

Code Black Season 2 Episode 6 "Hero Complex" Review
Malaya must inform a college student that she's been raped, while Willis and Campbell argue over a terminally ill woman who wishes to die on her own terms.
This was a really great episode that managed to show so much emotion with almost every moment in this episode. All the parts with the rape victim were so great at showing everything that happens to the victim after the rape and with the music and camera style of it all, it managed to put so much emotion into every part of it. And the twist of all the other people involved I was not expecting it at all but when the truth came out a lot more made since. Then having Malaya as her doctor I thought was a really great idea because they got to work through some things together. The comedian that needed surgery was a really great idea to have in this episode because the moments he was shown in really added a bit of light to this otherwise very sad and a bit dark episode. I am so happy that they brought Mike back into the mix of things and I had a feeling when he had the fall that he might have broken his spine and couldn't walk, which did happen. But they manage to fix it and all those moments were really great at showing some bonding between Angus and his father. Then the girl who wanted to die was such a great story to see how she was more than willing to die but everyone around her didn't want to let her go, including Campbell. Which of course bugged me because he didn't want this girl to die even though she wanted to, but he is more than willing to go down to the ER and dictate who he chooses to live and die. Then the ending moment between the girl and her mother was so sweet and great, and I do have to say I feel a little bad that Campbell wasn't there to say goodbye to her. Overall this was a really great episode and a definite favorite.
American Horror Story Season 6 Episode 9 "Chapter 9" Review
A new actor shows up to the house per Sidney's request; three young
adults enter the woods to shoot footage of the blood moon and the
history of the house for the web. Meanwhile, Lee, Monet, and Audrey
remain on the run.
This was a really great and interesting episode that really kind of summed a lot more of what is gong on and now all that is really left is to end everything. I really liked the inclusion of the Roanoke nightmare fans who get caught up in the blood moon themselves. Just seeing some fresh faces in this episode that didn't start out completely terrified was a little refreshing. The guy they brought in to help out Audrey and Lee was really great to give them a little bit of hope and then just have it taken from them in a second. He was a little annoying with how he seemed to know everything because he was ex-military, and he kept refusing to listen to Lee and Audrey when they clearly know more because they have been living through all the madness. Then them actually being back at the Polk's farm was interesting because the two Polk's that were left managed to do a lot of damage on their own. And where they found all the video tapes and stuff was a little weird because everything seemed to be in opposite rooms from where it should be. Then the randomness of having the witch show up and save Lee at the last minute I didn't really care for but it does make me really curious to see what they will do with her because to some degree she is under the witches control. Then ending moments of this episode were really gory and I was not really expecting everything to go as bad as it did. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait to see what they'll do with the final episode.

Arrow Season 5 Episode 6 "So It Begins" Review
Felicity and Curtis learn that Prometheus' victims have a mysterious link to Oliver's past that could upend his new team.
This was a very interesting episode that didn't have much to it in my mind as a plot. This episode was much more about showing off Prometheus as a character and getting to know just a small bit more about him. I really liked the beginning little moment where Spartan and Green Arrow were out hunting for Prometheus and were talking about how all of it could be a trap and they turned out to be right, that was a really fun little introduction to the episode in my mind. Bringing back Oliver's kill list from the first season I thought was such a great idea to bring some things together. I also really liked Prometheus's idea with bringing back the kill list and using that to prove that Oliver is the bad guy in the situation. Then how all the rest of the team reacted to this news was not all that surprising to me and in fact, I thought it was the perfect reaction for each of them. Then within that, I liked that they made the comment that Oliver has been the Arrow throughout all of the name and costume changes. The fight scene between Evelyn and Prometheus was really well done at not being too long or dramatic but still showing both their abilities and I thought it was really great. The reveal at the end of who Prometheus possibly is I was not expecting at all and it literally left me with my mouth dropped open. Overall this was a really good episode just not one I was super in love with.

Scorpion Season 3 Episode 7 "We're Gonna Need a Bigger Vote" Review
On election day, someone tries to create turmoil in the U.S. presidential election, and Team Scorpion is called to investigate.
This was a very interesting episode that was kind of fun to watch and it went a whole lot of route I wasn't expecting it to go. I really loved that this episode had all the team split off from Walter it was fun to see them working just fine but Walter struggling to get through. Then with that, I would have much preferred to have the FBI agent who stayed behind with Walter be much more serious rather than have him be the comic relief they made him out to be. And I was a little confused by Walter's whole grand escape because that moment was a little too jumpy when everything went down. And I feel all the people on air force one would have been less willing to listen to Walter then what was shown, but apparently, they recognised who he was and with that I feel they should have recognised him long before he ever made it on the plane. And even besides that the whole conversation they were having seemed to be missing key parts here and there. Then the secret place where they FBI was keeping the servers for the election was kind of cool because it made since in order to keep all the computers from overheating. Then who the actual bad were in this episode seemed to come a bit out of nowhere but managed to still have a good enough reason behind what they were doing to make it okay in my mind. Then the whole final break in scene they did to stop the bad guys was really kind of fun and funny to see all of what they had to go through. Then all the stuff with Paige and her meeting Tim's family was very interesting and I kind of love all the team looking out for Paige. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and it had a lot of great moments to it.
Gotham Season 3 Episode 8 "Blood Rush" Review
Captain Barnes begins to feel the effects of a recent incident and starts to go mad. Meanwhile, Nygma is out of his depth in his relationship with Isabella, and Carmine Falcone throws his son Mario and Leslie Tompkin's an engagement party.
This was a very exciting and great episode that left me so happy and really fangirling so much. I really love that this episode focused pretty much just on Barnes and everything that was going on with him. Just watching Alice's blood effect him more and more was really interesting to see. I really enjoyed the scene where Barnes went to the Mad Hatter in Arkham to see if there is a way around the effects and I fairly surprised Barnes didn't kill are harm the Mad Hatter in any drastic way. All the parts with the killer surgeon were really interesting but I wish they would have been a bit more of a forefront topic in this episode than what they were because he was just kind of sprinkled in there without any real depth to him. I knew they were going to bring the Judge into this season because they have to in order to make the Court of Owls storyline work out right but they way they showed the origin of the Judge in this episode is what really made my fan heart fall in love because for me it was kind of unexpected and just done so well. Then Nygma and Isabella were really interesting in this episode but also a little creepy with the depth they went to to prove that they can trust each other and know that Nygma won't every hurt her. I was not all that surprised when Penguin finally had enough of their relationship and decided to end it himself the only way he really knows how to. Overall this was a really fun and great episode, and I'm really excited to see what they will do next now that Gordon knows Barnes secret.
Supergirl Season 2 Episode 5 "Crossfire" Review
Supergirl faces a ruthless new gang that's been given new alien technology by Cadmus.
This was a very interesting episode that really seemed like it was trying to be more than it actually was. This was all about humans getting their hands on alien weapons and everyone freaking out about it, which the amount everyone was freaking out felt like a bit of overkill in my mind. I really hated the line of "the second amendment gives us the right to bare arms and that should equate to alien weapons too." That is such a stupid line and I just didn't like how it was through in there when I heard that line it really made my skin crawl. Then the fact that because this one small group of humans got their hands on some alien weapons it made people want to get rid of the alien amenity act, that made no sense to me at all because those are two very different things. Then the fact that people are freaking out this much in general made no sense with the fact that it isn't an army so several groups of people with these weapons it is one group, and they aren't even all that great with the weapons anyway. I liked that in this episode they finally talked about more or less that Winn did quit from Catco to work for the DEO, it was something that was bugging be but now it is fully resolved. Then all the moments with Mon-El were really interesting, I liked seeing him develop his human personality as Mike and seeing how excited Kara was just to have all her hopes for him crushed. I also kind of liked that they went a bit of the Superman route with Mike with having one of his unsaid abilities be that he is just incredibly attractive to almost every women. Then the ending between the two of them was great where Kara settles on the fact that Mike is not her and she has to learn to accept the fact that he needs to go out and figure things out for himself, and she is just more there as a helpful hand. Lena and her party in this episode were really great at the moment of switching between Kara and Supergirl that had to happen at the party. But with how this episode ended for Lena it makes me, even more, certain that she is just like her brother she is just better at hiding how she truly feels about a situation. James wanting to be a superhero on his own is a very interesting idea that I don't know how I feel about it, but I do hope they give at least one good scene where both Supergirl and Superman try and talk him out of it just for him to prove them wrong and that he can be his own hero. Overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait for more.

Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 7 "Heartless" Review
Bandit Snow dodges a bounty hunter while shepherd David goes on a
fateful journey; the Evil Queen threatens to destroy Storybrooke unless
Snow and David surrender their hearts; David and Regina search for a
magical sapling.
This was a very interesting episode that was alright but there were some parts that I didn't really care for. All of the back stories between Snow and David was very interesting, and at first, I was a little annoyed because I thought they were going to do a first-time introduction between the two of them again for the like fourth time. But lucky they didn't instead they managed to construct it in a way so that the two characters talk to each other but never formally introduce themselves to one another, with I found to be a kind of cool idea. They did make one mistake in that scene, however, is that they forgot about David's Shepard hair that was a bit longer than his regular hair unless they want us to believe that in the time between this encounter and when he first becomes a prince is when he grows out his hair. Then I really enjoyed the little moment of Hook's story time with Emma, I thought it was a really cute moment. The idea of the sapling was very interesting to me because I thought it was a very clever idea but along the lines of the evil queen if it were me I would have just burnt the sapling instead of what she did which was break it and then burn it, I thought that was a bit of overkill. Zelena was a little confusing in this episode because the first scene you see of her it seems like she knows that the Evil Queen and Rumple are together, but then later she is surprised to she them making out , I just don't understand what was suppose to be going on there. Then the new curse that the Evil Queen put on Snow and David I really kind of like it because it is not deadly or anything like that it is just really inconvenient for the two of them. Overall I enjoyed watching this episode I just did care for certain parts here and there.

Pure Genius Season 1 Episode 2 "It's Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider Silk Surgery" Review
When a young boy's legs are crushed after being pinned by a car, Malik is determined to use a revolutionary procedure using spider silk to save his limbs, while Zoe lobbies in favor of the safer route of amputation. Also, James, Walter, and Talaikha care for Amelia, a young woman in dire need of a liver transplant, but they're puzzled by her resistance when they tell her the donor is her estranged father, Simon.
This was a really interesting episode that was definitely a lot better than the first episode. I really enjoyed the bit of development of the main group of doctors, and just really getting to know them more in this episode. The doctors having a bet up of when they think Dr. Wallace will quit I think is really funny and really great, and I really hope something comes out of that. Whether it be that someone put a bet in saying that he wouldn't quit or just something I really hope that it is not this one vain thing. Then the idea of using spider silk on the little boy's legs I think it was a very interesting idea because it is this really strong material but I feel it would dissolve in the human body faster than the boy's legs would heal. Then I really enjoyed the fact that James bought six plots of land to try and impress Zoe by building a bunch of parks for some kids who really need them. Amelia was a really interesting character and so was her father with just how different they were from each other. And I really enjoyed the ending of their story where the father decided to give part of his liver to make up for the terrible childhood he gave her by making sure she lived a long and happy life. All the parts with Walter and his son were very interesting to see that dynamic of the two of them being separated and that causing a lot of conflicts. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for more.
This was a really interesting episode that was definitely a lot better than the first episode. I really enjoyed the bit of development of the main group of doctors, and just really getting to know them more in this episode. The doctors having a bet up of when they think Dr. Wallace will quit I think is really funny and really great, and I really hope something comes out of that. Whether it be that someone put a bet in saying that he wouldn't quit or just something I really hope that it is not this one vain thing. Then the idea of using spider silk on the little boy's legs I think it was a very interesting idea because it is this really strong material but I feel it would dissolve in the human body faster than the boy's legs would heal. Then I really enjoyed the fact that James bought six plots of land to try and impress Zoe by building a bunch of parks for some kids who really need them. Amelia was a really interesting character and so was her father with just how different they were from each other. And I really enjoyed the ending of their story where the father decided to give part of his liver to make up for the terrible childhood he gave her by making sure she lived a long and happy life. All the parts with Walter and his son were very interesting to see that dynamic of the two of them being separated and that causing a lot of conflicts. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for more.

American Horror Story Roanoke Episode 8 "Chapter 8" Review
Audrey, Monet, and Lee remain, hostages of the Polks, while Shelby
and Dominic try to think of a way to escape the wrath of The Butcher
back at the house.
This was a really interesting episode that was really about starting to wrap up this whole season and get down to the last person who survives all of the craziness. All the scenes with Shelby and Dominic were really great with all the craziness they endured at the house and those moments really brought all the past dead together. I have no idea how the two of them managed to survive as long as they did it was actually kind of amazing to watch the two of them deal it attack after attack and not die. Lee was really great in this episode with how she managed to survive everything that was thrown at her. The way she seemed so up for anything just to end up turning on the Polks was really great. Then I loved the scene with the Polks and how the managed to tie the teeth back into everything.I really can't wait to see what will happen to Monet now that she is alone with the last two Polks chasing after her. Then the fact of Lee convincing Audrey to go back to the Polks farm was really great by bringing up they need to delete the film of them killing the Polks when really she just wants to delete the film of her confession of killing Flora's father. Then Lee's change in opinion about Shelby was a little weird because she hated Shelby it seemed up until she heard that Shelby killed Matt and then she just couldn't believe it, and she instead blamed it on Dominic. I really hope in the next few episodes they'll show a bit more of the witch because she still is a mystery to me. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for more.

Code Black Season 2 Episode 5 "Landslide" Review
The doctors treat victims who were caught in a landslide; the entire ER is put at risk when children with measles are brought in.
This was a really interesting episode that had a lot of chaos to it that at first, I had no idea what they were going to do, but they managed to keep everything under control. All of the camper kids were a little annoying with how no one in that group seemed to listen to each other, and up until the end of this episode, it really didn't seem like that group was getting anywhere. I did really love the line between Angus and Leanne in on of these scenes where she talks about being a parent and sort of telling Angus that he is in similar circumstances when it comes to his feelings with Mike. The victims of the mudslide where a little weird because the two main peoples emotions seemed to be polar opposites of each other. Then when the girl kept saying that the guy murdered her fiancé I thought there would be a bit more behind that claim but really it was just her emotions making her jump to conclusions. Then the ending where the fiancé turns out to still be alive I don't really care for because I would much rather the two forgive each other instead of having the third come in and clear things up. Then I really want to know what is going on with Dr. Guthrie because I have my guesses but I really want to hear the truth. I really loved the ending between Angus and Mario because it was so sweet and necessary for both of their characters. Overall I really loved this episode and it was a really enjoyable watch.
Arrow Season 5 Episode 5 "Human Target" Review
Oliver must turn to the Human Target for help when one of his new recruits is captured by Tobias Church.
This was a really great and interesting episode that seemed a little long and weird at points but was very entertaining to watch. I liked all the scenes with the team going out and looking for clues to try and find Rene. It was a little weird to me how quickly Curtis seemed to be okay again after being stabbed in the back because they did talk about him being in pain but it was never really shown. All the interrogation moments with Church were really great to see Rene holding up his end of staying strong for the most part. Then it was really cool to see that there was a connection between Church and Prometheus to they weren't both targeting the Green Arrow at the same time just out of sheer coincidence. Then I really loved the scenes with John talking to Rene about his beating and showing that they have had similar events, it was great to bring John back for more than just to have him as Spartin again. I don't really know how I feel about having the reporter back and it seems they are making her a more frequent character which I don't really care for, but it will kind of be cool to see how everyone reacts when they find out about Oliver not really being on the island for the full six years. I really hope that the episodes to come will show a bit more of Prometheus not that Church is out of the picture because I really can't wait to see what they will do with him because there are so many different directions they could take his story, and I really want to see what they will do. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait to see more.

Agents of SHIELD Season 4 Episode 6 "The Good Samaritan" Review
The shocking origin story of Robbie's transition into Ghost Rider is revealed as the lives of Coulson and the team hang in the balance.
This was a really great episode that to me really took all the stuff that has been building up in the part episodes and it took it all to the next level. I was a little confused when the director showed up demanding for Daisy and Robbie because before that he seemed too nice and up for anything so to see him turn and be this strong will demanding director it was a little shocking. But it was also so great to see that this guy could actually be a really great director because he can take charge of a situation when he needs to. but with that being said what exactly did he do to Simmions, because he just kind of sent her off with little to no explanation. Then all the moments when the team on board the plane trying to talk about Daisy and Robbie but still keep it secret was really funny with how they faced things here and there. Robbie's whole story of what really happened that night was really great because I loved seeing them showing the origin story but also not overdoing it in one way or another they just kept to the basics and left it there. The twist of who the actual bad guy was in this episode I was not expecting and I really can't wait to see how all that will play out when the show comes back in a few weeks.
The Flash Season 3 Episode 5 "Monster" Review
Caitlin visits her mother to help her understand her growing meta-human powers, while Barry tries to convince Julian to let him help investigate a new meta-human attacking Central City.
This was a very interesting episode that had some parts to it that I wasn't expecting and with that, I was pleasantly surprised by some of the story plots they decided to take. I really liked the line when Barry first runs into the monster and Cisco wants him to describe it and all Barry can say is that it is a monster, I found that kind of funny and very original Flash comics campy kind of way. All the parts with Joe in this episode and Iris trying to convince him that it is okay for him to date felt like a bunch of pointless scenes in this episode, and kind of like another story plot that they wanted in this episode but they just couldn't fit it in. And with that Joe and Iris in this episode were really kind of thrown in there here and there without any real reason behind it what so ever. I really like the new Wells because he is so different from the others and really brings a new aspect to the team, but he also has this such high creepiness about him that he has to be up to something not good. Then I really liked all the moments with Julian and having this episode be somewhat about him and figuring out what he is truly all about. I thought that was a really interesting idea they decided to go with and the way they went about doing it was very well organized and really fun to watch. The twist ending of who the actual villain was in this episode I didn't really care for, but it did kind of go to show that not all the bad guy in Central City have to be meta-humans. All the parts with Caitlin in this episode were also really interesting with the fact you finally got introduced to a bit of her past by meeting her mother and really seeing the disconnect they have with each other. I really like what they are doing with Caitlin to as she is becoming Killer Frost because it is very similar to the comics where the more she uses her abilities the colder her temperature get until it gets to the point of where she starts freezing in her own body and need other to help her. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait to see more.
Scorpion Season 3 Episode 6 "Bat Poop Crazy" Review
Team Scorpion explores a deep cave system in an effort to prevent a bat population from harming the North American ecosystem; the team dons Halloween costumes for Walter's impending immigration inspection.
This is a really great and kinda funny episode that I really enjoyed watching. I really enjoyed the whole Holloween theme around this episode both with the team getting ready for just Halloween in general as well as trying to prove that Happy and Walter are a couple by having them celebrate a holiday together. It was a little weird at the beginning where the team going farther and farther into the cave looking for the zoologist even though they knew that the zoologists would have met up with them already they just kept going. That house a really liked all the moment where they make references to different horror movies that Sylvester knows and you kinda get to see his reaction because of that. I especially like the reference to The Birds and Sylvester makes a comment that he originally washed it because he thought it was a movie on ornithology, that was a really funny moment to me. Then I also really enjoyed all the moments with Toby and the guy who had rabies and hope he does hatching the deal with all hallucination and then having them actually find the right rabies shot for the that was just a lot of really funny moments and great lines within that scene. Then I really liked all the scenes with Happy and her having the take care Ralph and just watching some of her maternal instincts start to kick in as one thing starts to go wrong after another with Ralph and all the sugar that he's eaten. Although scenes had a lot of really funny moments to them to that I absolutely enjoyed watching. Overall this was a really great episode that had so many funny moments to it that I really enjoyed.
Gotham Season 3 Episode 7 "Red Queen" Review
After coming in contact with a substance by the hand of Mad Hatter, Jim Gordon gets led on a psychedelic trip and must confront his past, present and future. Meanwhile, Penguin struggles with Nygma's new relationship.
This is was a really great and really interesting episode that had a lot to it I wasn't expecting. I really like the Mad Hatter's whole plan that in the last episode he took care of Gordon to some extent and now his plan the next day get rid of all Gotham. And I really enjoyed the scene where the Mad Hatter at the shop getting all the stuff to make Alice's blood more potent and he finds this other dust that just happens have the perfect name or his whole theme. I was expecting the Mad Hatter's whole plan to set this virus all over Gotham was going to be more along the lines of what happened with the Viper drug from season one, but the way that he actually chose to go about it I find very interesting where he decided like just target the rich and powerful. And then within that same scene, I really like that Penguin met the Court of Owls kind of, didn't know it. Then the whole idea of taking Gordon off the case unless he wanted to be a police officer I thought was a very interesting way of going about doing this episode where they finally kind of have Gordon separated from everyone else so no one's really there to help him when he needs help and he's not really there to help the GCPD also. All the scenes where Gordon is hallucinating were very interesting with how they were all done. I really liked how they were all stylized, but then what was actually going on in those moments was kind of confusing and hard to follow, but I still got the general idea of it all. Then I enjoyed the moments between Penguin and Nygma where Penguins sort of finally figures out that Nygma might not feel the same way about him, and then Penguin sets out to destroy Nygma's newest relationship. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I'm very happy with how the episode ended all the characters.
Supergirl Season 2 Episode 4 "Survivors" Review
Supergirl tries to stop an alien fight club run by Roulette, while Hank gets to know M'Gann.
This was a really interesting episode that took some steps to it that I wasn't expecting but it still was a really great episode that I enjoyed watching. I really liked the character of Roulette her style and tattoo was really well done as well as the acting job of her, but everyone around her was a little confusing with how thy seemed to agree with everything she says and never questions it. I really like the scenes with Winn and Mon-El and I'm going through all this training to see what Mon-El's abilities are now that he's on earth and just seeing how different he is compared to Kara. And then the scene one they finally go out in public together is also really fun with how just everything goes wrong and it is sort of all blamed on Winn it was just really funny to see how everything just went. Then the actual fighting scenes at the fight club were really kinda cool for what they did show which was not as much as I was expecting. Then all the scenes with Hank and Miss Martian were kind of weird with how they went about doing things and how they seem to know each other but not really know each other. But the actual fight scene between the two of them was really cool, but with how it ended where they just kind of forgave each other was kinda confusing and kinda came out of nowhere in my opinion. But then ending where we found out the truth about Miss Martian I was not expecting it all and I kinda can't wait to see how that will play out in the future. Then I really like all the scenes where Kara's at her job and her job somewhat becomes similar to Superman's where most of her resources are coming from herself but she reports them as coming from Supergirl, I thought that was really funny kinda clever thing to put in there. Then all the scenes with Alex and Maggie were kind of cool but also kind of pointless for what else was in this episode. Overall I have say though that I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait to see more.
