Riverdale Season 2 Episode 7 "Chapter Twenty: Tales from the Darkside" Review



The town remains on edge after a chilling letter from the Black Hood challenges the town's residents to remain sinless for 48 hours, or he'll strike again.

This was a really great and exciting episode that was really fun to watch with how they decided to stylize the whole story of the episode. And with that, I really enjoyed that style because they decide to go about repeating the same 48 hours over and over but each time it was with a different set of the main characters and just showing what each of them did within those 48 hours. And the first chunk with Archie and Jughead was interesting with them to going to do this drug run for the Serpent's and just everything that they encountered with that was interesting to see what all it revealed for the possibility of the masked man. And I'm very interested to see how that connection might come out going forward with them learning about this old killer in Riverdale known as the Reaper I believe. Then the second part revolved around Cheryl and Josie and Josie trying to go about her normal life but a lot of things keep getting in the way. And when the truth was revealed about what Cheryl is actually doing I'm very interested to see what might happen if that truth actually comes out. Then everything with Veronica and Betty was interesting but probably the weakest point in the episode in my opinion because it felt like they were leading up to this big reveal secret but it was not really anything new in my opinion. I did really like those split opinion between Veronica and Betty about what the sheriff is up to and both of them trying to prove the other one wrong and how they each one went about doing that was interesting to see but then actual truth like I said what the sheriff was doing wasn't all that exciting but it will be interesting to see when that does eventually come out for everyone know. And just overall this was a really interesting and exciting episode and I'm very interested to see what they're going to do with the story going forward.

Arrowverse Crossover Day Two "Crisis on Earth-X, Parts 3&4" Review


The gang comes together for Barry and Iris's wedding, but the ceremony is crashed by villains from Earth-X.

This was a really great second half that did a good job of having the mains story part in the third part and then just wrapping everything up in the fourth part. All the moments on Earth X we're really well done with how they took the ideas of each of the characters and introduced some new ones and just working through a whole plan of how to escape back to Earth One. I really enjoyed their introduction of The Ray and how they played him into everything and just how well he sort of fit in with the rest of the group. Then the reintroduction of this new version of Captain Cold as Citizen Cold was interesting where he's from Earth X and doesn't know any of the other people. Then everything that went on with Kara and everyone stuck in Star Labs that didn't get stuck on Earth X was interesting with how they eventually managed to free Kara from the red light altering her powers and how they finally brought the rest of Legends into the fight. And it was fun that they did again have a little nod to Ray's Superman past. It was really interesting who out of villains in the character's past they decided to bring into this with them reintroducing Metallo, and Red Tornado, as well as a few other villains, was interesting to see how they fit them all in and how they actually had other heroes fighting against these villains instead of Supergirl. Then just the whole final fight scene between the heroes and the Earth X versions was interesting to see how it all played out. It was a little disappointed that it definitely looks like they ran out of money because the visual effects didn't look as good as they did in the previous parts. But still, all the fighting and how they decide to end the story for each of the Earth X members was very interesting to see. The ending of the fourth part I really don't care for and it felt really kind of unnecessary and could have been so much better if they just cut it out or shortened it. Because I did like that moment of Barry and Iris finally going through the whole ceremony of getting married even though it wasn't necessary but then having Felicity barge in there and make it about her by saying that she wants to marry Oliver as well was just really annoying and unnecessary with how it looks like in the next Arrow episode they're just going to get married again. So that ending just felt really weird and unnecessary and I felt like I could have ended a lot better if they would have just ignored that part all the other. And just overall this was a really exciting and fun second half to the crossover and I can't wait to see what they might do next year.

Arrowverse Crossover Day One "Crisis on Earth-X, Parts 1&2" Review

The gang comes together for Barry and Iris's wedding, but the ceremony is crashed by villains from Earth-X.

This was a really great first half that did a nice job of setting things up for whats to come and really bringing everyone together. I really loved how they did the beginning of this episode where they did an introduction of each of the main heroes revolving around them forgetting to turn in there save the date cards for Barry and Iris's wedding. It was especially fun with Supergirl fighting a dominator and making the comment that they were so last year. Then the party before the wedding and the actual wedding was really great with how everything was done and the little nods to characters to come. It was really interesting how they decided to have the heroes meet there evil Earth-X versions of themselves, I didn't much care for the storyline of having Kara and Oliver being married but I did really like the moment of them showcasing the kryptonite arrow. I wish a few more of the Legends would have been around because it felt like a really odd group of Legends members hanging out helping and the rest of them were just missing. Especially Ray I feel could have fit in with everyone else because he is friends with most of the main heroes. Then the reason of why the Earth-Xers were on Earth-1 was kind of weird because they were there for Kara but how did they know she was on Earth-1 and why didn't they go to Earth-23 to look for her. And they didn't really give a reason as to why Overgirl had taken into much solar radiation they just said that she had taken into much and it was killing her. So did Overgirl absorbed the whole sun or something and that explains why Earth-X is so dark or what is going on it was never really explained. But still this was a really great first half to set everything up and I excited to see what they are going to do now the part of the team is trapped on Earth-X. 

Scorpion Season 4 Episode 10 "Crime Every Mountain" Review


Team Scorpion tries to help a father and his daughter when their plane crashes nearby; Paige helps Walter navigate his feelings about Cabe's possible future in prison.

This was a really interesting episode that had a lot of really great moments in it that were entertaining to watch. I really liked the moments with Sylvester and Cabe going around trying to track down Mark but in doing so it was discovered that Mark was playing them to make Cabe seem even more guilty. Just how all those moments turned out and Cabe's big speech at the end was just all really amazing and well done. Then I'm happy that the moment with Paige and Walter being stuck behind a bunch of rocks wasn't a very long scene it was just long enough for Walter to express some of his feelings and then they were saved. Then everything with Happy in this episode was really great with her staying behind with the daughter and trying to understand why the daughter is the way she was. I especially loved the moment when Happy asks the daughter if she is working as a criminal because she wants to or if it is because it is the only life she knows because her father raised her in it. Then the ending of how they managed to stop the criminals from getting away was interesting where they used the fathers love for his daughter against him. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode to watch and see how everything turned out.

Wisdom of the Crowd Season 1 Episode 9 "Proof of Concept" Review


Tanner receives an offer of new evidence in Mia’s case if Sophe can prove someone is innocent of murder; Tanner and Sara begin depositions with AllSourcer for the rights to Sara’s work and Sophe’s code.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that had a lot of really great moments to it. It was really interesting how they found all the clues leading to whether the person is a murderer or not. I don’t really care much for the way this show seems to be going because it really seems like they are using Sophe less and less with each episode and instead they seem to just keep stumbling upon the evidence they need. The whole episode was also written kind of weird with how much this potential murderer kept secret until it became a life or death kind of moment. Like the fact of her story where she stumbled upon her roommate already dead when she got home, even if I was drunk or high out of my mind I feel I would say that right away and not keep that part a secret. Then who the actual murderer was felt like a weird throwaway way to wrap the whole story up. The new evidence that Tanner received about Mia’s case was interesting because it did revile that there was more going on to Mia’s death than just a crime of passion. I did enjoy all the moments with the AllSourcer deposition and Sara share her story of how Sophe came to be. I also really enjoy the fact that AllSourcer doesn’t seem to mind playing dirty in order to get what they want and I’m excited to see where that might take the story in the future. And just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode to watch and see how everything turned out.

The Orville Season 1 Episode 9 "Cupid's Dagger" Review


While the crew attempts to mediate a peace treaty between two warring cultures, tensions rise between Ed and Kelly when a familiar face comes aboard.

This was a really fun and weird episode that had a lot of really interesting moments to it. I really enjoyed all the moments between Ed and Kelly and them struggling with their newfound relationship when they’re and joined by the person who originally tore them apart. And the whole sort of thing around this old acquaintance of theirs was interesting to see how it all turned out once the truth was revealed about what was going on that was causing several the crew members to act out of place. And I just really enjoy the moment where Ed went to the meeting to try and do the peace talks between the two warring cultures and he just wasn’t there because he was focused on other things than just that was really entertaining to watch. And then I also really enjoy the final moment when Kelly brought up that when she was cheating on Ed with this other guy and she wanted to know if he was in heat then so she would know if she didn’t actually have feelings for him or what was actually going on there and the fact that he didn’t answer that fully was really interesting. And then how they actually solve the problem of the two warring cultures was an interesting way to sort of wrap things up but I wish they would have done it better because once everything wore off they would be at war again probably because nothing on the planet was actually resolved. And I kind of wish that the artifact that was being examined was actually the cause of everyone acting weird and not the guy researching it so then the artifact would have played a more important role in this episode. And then the truth coming out of who this artifact actually belongs to I could easily see coming so it was entertaining to see that finally come true and the fact that the two cultures still had to share the planet by the end of all this. And just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode to watch.

American Horror Story: Cult Episode 10 "Charles (Manson) in Charge" Review

Kai begins to unravel as he starts to suspect a traitor in his ranks.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode to watch and see how everything turned out. I really like what they did with the ideas of Kai slowly going insane and how everyone dealt with that in their own ways. And I really like how Ally dealt with it with her sort of working with his hallucinations to stay on his good side and working with him when he had the idea that there is a mole amongst the ranks. But then Winter was sort of on the flip side where is she was trying to get Kai back into the right mindset and trying to distance herself from him to keep herself safe. And I just really enjoyed that whole conversation between Kai and Winter where they’re talking about how they’re always going to stay a family and Winter bring up that once the members of The Cult get what they want to leave him so he has to always remember that she will be the only one who truly sticks by his side. And just how all that turned out was really amazing to watch and see the twists and turns of that whole relationship. Then I really enjoyed all the ideas that they serve took from the Charles Manson Murders and how they sort of took all the ideas that he did in his murders were he was trying to get them to be blamed on other people that weren’t him, and Kai took those ideas and he’s doing with similar sort of way to try and commit a bunch of murderers and blame it the senator he’s running against. The ending of this episode was so great with it being revealed that there actually was a mole and that Kai wasn’t fully hallucinating and I’m just really curious to see how all that’s going to turn out now that Ally knows who the mole is. And just overall this was a really amazing and entertaining episode watch and I’m so excited to see what’s going to happen in the season finale.

The Flash Season 4 Episode 5 "Girls Night Out" Review


Caitlin fears that her past time as Killer Frost may be back to haunt her; Felicity helps celebrate Iris’s bachelorette party, while Barry is taken out for a night on the town.

This was a really fun and entertaining episode that had a lot of really great moments to it especially in the moments with Caitlin. And I really enjoyed the idea that they had for this episode where it was all the girls working together to solve the problem with the main villain in the episode and Berry wasn’t around to help them. How all that was done was really great and fun but I wish they would have put less focus on the idea of it being girl power and more on them just solving the problem because that got a little annoying how much they brought up the whole girl power part of it. Then I really liked what they did with Caitlin and her switching back and forth between being herself and Killer Frost and how everyone else is dealing with that was really kind of interesting. Then the villain of Amunet was really cool with her having this magnetic metal bending kind of powers but instead of her using it in a very Magneto like the way she used the metal to build herself armor and then used it in that sort of way and that was really kind of cool. Then the moments with Barry and him at his bachelor’s party was fun with him taking this chemical substance that made him really drunk and everyone else just kind of have to deal with all the problems that he stumbled upon. And then just overall this was really fun and great episode to watch.

Riverdale Season 2 Episode 5 "When a Stranger Calls" Review


Betty turns to Archie for help after receiving an ultimatum; Veronica's old friend comes to town, but his plans for a wild night takes an unexpected turn.

This was a really interesting episode especially with everything around Betty and the masked man. And it was really interesting how they chose to approach those moments between Betty and the masked man and him trying to get her to cut off all her other friends and him making this deal that if she did what he asked of her and she would get to ask him a question about himself as long as it wasn't too specific like what his name was. And that really became like the main reason Betty was doing any of the stuff that she was doing and it was just really interesting to see how she actually cut people off where she got really angry at Veronica and then she actually asked Archie to cut off the relationship with Jughead so that was just all really interesting and great with how it was all done and shown. And that moment between Archie and Jughead was really great with how Archie reacted to Jughead joining the Serpent's even though Archie really hasn't been there much for Jughead in the first place in my opinion. And everything around Jughead joining the Serpent's was really great and interesting with all the different Gonlent trials he had to go through to become a member we're really kind of fun to see as well as his friends trying to keep asking him if he really does want to join the Serpent's because once he's joined he can't leave. Then everything with Veronica and her friend was interesting with her sort of discovering that she has changed since she's come to Riverdale and how her old friends aren't really the best people to be friends with and it was just really great in that moment when all that was fully realized and her new friends from Riverdale were sort of there to support and be there for each other. And then everything in this episode around Betty's mother was really great with it coming out that Betty's mother was a serpent and the whole scene of Betty's mother sort of accepting that as her reality is really great and I kind of can't wait to see what the truth around that will be when it does come out like how did she leave the Serpent's if she did. I kind of can't wait to see how the moment between Betty and the masked man comes to play in the future where Betty was forced to put on a mask very similar to his so I'm curious to know if that mask will be discovered by the police or something and the bring Betty in and question the fact that her DNA is in it. And just overall this was a really entertaining and interesting episode to watch and see how everything played out and I can't wait to see what will happen in future.

Scorpion Season 4 Episode 7 "Go with the Flo(rence)" Review


A device that can prevent a nuclear meltdown is tracked through the Los Angeles sewers; Walter learns to listen and not offer advice to Paige; the team meets their new neighbor.

This was a really fun and interesting episode that did a good job with how it chose to break up the roles and who was doing what to solve the case. I really enjoyed the moments with Toby and Cabe in this episode with them interrogating the guy in charge of creating the devices that are going to cause the satellite to shoot down a laser and explode a nuclear power plant. And just all the different tactics and ways that they try to get the information out of him was really interesting to see. And it was also fun because Toby and Cabe were the ones who had to deal most with the new neighbor and her reaction to everything that they were doing was just really fun and I hope to see more of her in the future. And the moments between Walter and Paige in this episode were really annoying because of the fact that Walter doesn't seem to be learning anything and every episode it seems like Paige has to start at square one with Walter again and again and just it's really annoying how he didn't seem to listen to anything that she said and he tried to solve problems that she didn't need to be solved and by the end of this episode he kind of learned his lesson but not really which makes it even more annoying. And then I didn't really get the breaks down between Happy and Sylvester where they had Sylvester being the one to capture the rat and Happy being the one to track when the rat was coming and I understand it from the writing point of view because they wanted Sylvester to fall in the water but I feel like if it was in real life they wouldn't switch the rolls because Happy would have been able to catch the rat a lot easier so it just felt really weird in that whole scene. The truth coming out about what MI6 actually wanted the satellite for was a weird sort of twist ending but didn't seem really all that necessary and just felt like they could have come up with a better ending than that to explain why MI6 was there but still I guess I made sense for why they were keeping things so secretive. And just overall this was interesting and okay episode to watch.

The Gifted Season 1 Episode 6 "got your siX" Review


Thunderbird spears a mission to get answers about what happened to his friend; Lauren encounters a new friend with useful powers.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that had a lot of great moments to it. I really liked how in this episode they introduced a bunch of other teenage mutants and had them showing off their powers and training on how to use their powers. And it was really interesting how they finally made some sort of connection to the X-Men which was with Thunderbird stating that the X-Men put him in charge of protecting all these mutants and creating of the Underground. So I'm really curious to see how that might come out or play in the future of Thunderbird storyline and I'd really like to see that connection between him and the X-Men. Then the whole mission with Eclipse and Reed going into the New Orleans state house to get all these files on the mutants that were sent there was interesting with how it was all shown and how it was all done. I didn't much care for Andy in this episode because the fact of how overconfident he seem to some extent where he thinks that he can solve every problem with his abilities and I did like that they did have the moment where Reed tried to talk him out of trying to fix their problems and yes he did come in handy during the break into the state house but he just thinks that he's better than he actually is and in my opinion he still needs some training. With that it was a little weird in the past episodes he seemed so unable to control his powers but in this episode seem to master it like he's known how to use his powers for years when he's only had his powers for a couple weeks so that was a little weird. I did really enjoy the scene where Polaris is training some of the mutants to use their abilities to fight and how Kate jumped in there to try and stop her what's interesting even though I still really don't like the character of Kate because she just never seems to learn anything. Where she gets all this information about what life is like for a mutant and stuff like that but then she just keeps saying that everything will get better with time and I just don't understand that mindset. Then the scene where Reed and Eclipse are heading back to the compound but end up running into a giant police barrier was really great seeing how everything was fixed but I definitely wish that they would have shown a bit more of what Polaris was doing because they did show some things where she was stopping the bullets from hitting the bus but there were so many going off that I have a hard time believing that she could truly stop all them. Then I'm very curious to know what's going on with Turner now that he is working with this doctor who is doing a bunch of research on mutants and I really want to know what this doctor wants with the Strucker children. And then just overall this was really entertaining and fun episode to watch.

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 5 "Damage" Review


Morgan Edge blames Lena for children getting sick from lead poisoning.

This was such a great and entertaining episode that was so much fun to see the story revolving a lot around Lena and showing her in a bit of a different light. And I really like that they did show again everyone's ideas on Lena where as soon as any sort story came out giving a possibility that Lena might be bad everyone jumped on board with the idea because of the fact that she's Luther. And I really enjoyed just seeing how Lena dealt with all the bad press around her where after she tried to do things in a proper business way to try in make up for all these different families pains and that didn't work out you could just see her soul dying at the idea that she's hurting a bunch of innocent children. And I don't really like the idea of this episode where they did play with the invention that was built in the last season finale where Lena released a whole bunch of lead into the air and they didn't really talk about much what that could due to humans all they really did was talk about what I would do to the Daxamites. I really enjoyed how they played with slowly revealing the truth of who is the villain actually was and why and how he was actually poisoning these kids. I really like that they had Lena be the one to confront him and the way that everything went down between Lena and Edge was really fun to see. And I really enjoyed the scene where Lena is on the plane and that's basically the only way that Supergirl knows that this plane is big trouble is the fact that she heard Lena's voice on the recorder. And then I really like the ending of this episode because again it played with the ideas of Samantha learning that she has these abilities were in the end of this episode it was finally shown that it isn't an accident or a slight chance of luck that saved her it actually is that she's bulletproof. And then just over all of this was a really amazing and so entertaining episode to watch them really excited to see where they're going to take the story next.

Wisdom of the Crowd Season 1 Episode 6 "Trojan Horse" Review


The team must locate the source of a deadly online challenge that's targeting vulnerable teenagers; Alex's connection to Tanner's former company may be a personal and political issue.

It was a really interesting and entertaining episode that did a really great job of having nice moments to a very hard topic. And I really enjoyed all the moments for Sarah and her trying to deal with everything that's going on with these kids and they show that something's bothering her but they take quite a while in to the episode to actually explained what's going on with her so that was interesting and well done in the way that they did it. Then I really liked how they did this episode with the cops not knowing how these kids are getting a hold of this online game that's causing them to kill themselves and just how they shot that progression of the story of how they eventually figured it all out was really interesting. I wasn't a big fan of the fact that didn't really show much of what Sophie was doing to help it just seemed like they stumble upon the answer themselves or they knew what to do without any explanation of how they got those answers. And I really like what they did with the ideas of each member of Sophie having some sort of connection to these kids in an emotional way or just they have a connection to like the back history being in the same position these kids so that was really interesting. I didn't really like how quickly they found the guy who created this site that was causing the kids to kill themselves because it just seemed really out there where they were like only has this guy and that he kind of sort of confess pretty easily so that was just really weird but his explanation of why was to sort of cut off the weaker links was an interesting thing to see his mindset. I did really love the ending of this episode where it showed one of the kids and their moments before completing the game and just the whole conversation between her and Sarah was really great with showing ideas of suicide and how there is people who are left to sort of have to pick up the pieces and that whole shot showing all these different strangers showing up to help this girl or trying to convince her to not kill herself was so great with showing that even though you don't know a person you can still care about their life. And then just overall this was a really great and so amazing episode to watch and see how everything turned out.

Wisdom of the Crowd Season 1 Episode 4 "User Bias" Review


The San Francisco P.D. comes to Tanner to get Sophe's help on a politically charged murder case.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that did a really nice job of having this kind of difficult storyline but organizing it in a really nice way. And I really liked what they decide to do with the idea of bias in this episode where the actual characters have to set aside their biases on people especially the victim in this episode and once they did that they started to see things in a different light and unravel the truth a lot better. And then along with that, they have Sophie getting this increasing flood of information that helps to reprogram her to sort through all the data and find only the stuff that is important to the case and that's a really helpful thing that will probably be useful in the future. And the actual truth around what this victim actually wanted in his murder was interesting with how the team discovered it where they look through all like the past interviews and stuff that he did and discover that he had a real fascination for other political protesters of the past like Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, and Gandhi and people like that and he made the comment that he's not really fascinated by them because of their views but because of the fact that they died a martyr essentially. And I enjoy the moments with Tanner this episode and him getting berated by a bunch of articles sort of degrading his daughter's image and him trying to figure out where these articles are coming from and why they're out there and that whole back trail part of this episode was interesting with what it revealed. Which was that the articles initially weren't supposed to be bashing on Tanner but on his ex-wife and because of the fact of what Tanner was up to at this point I'm at kind of hit him too. And just that whole scene with Tanner and his ex-wife in the car as he's trying to explain what all was going on with the stuff around Mia was such a well done seen with how everyone reacted to everything. And just overall this was a really great and really entertaining episode to watch.

The Orville Season 1 Episode 7 "Majority Rule" Review


Kelly leads a team to find two missing Union anthropologists on a planet similar to Earth.

This was a really interesting and fun episode that had a lot of really great moments to it. Now to start off as I was watching this episode it reminded me a lot of the Black Mirror episode Nosedive where this whole society that they're trying to fit into bases everything off of a like system and in order to fit into certain places in society you need a certain amount of likes. But with that, I did really like what this episode did wear when you get a certain amount of dislikes big problems start to happen to you where they will take you to a place that will essentially reprogram your brain to become a vegetable. And when you do get this big traffic of dislikes you have to go on essentially a press tour to try and prove yourself as likable that was all really interesting and done really well. And I really enjoyed the whole final scene where they are trying to make lieutenant John likable to the public by posting a bunch of stuff about him that would make him seem popular. Then just overall this was a really great and fun episode to watch and see how everything turned out.

Arrow Season 6 Episode 3 "Next of Kin" Review


A rogue black ops team led by Onyx breaks into Kord Industries and steals something lethal. Oliver struggles to connect with William so he reaches out to a surprising source for help.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that was fun at showing how team Arrow operates without Oliver. And I really liked what they did do with John adjusting to his life now as the Green Arrow and him figuring out what that means, and I really liked it because the fact that they dedicated this whole episode to him really figuring out what he needs to do with the Green Arrow instead of just having him jump into the role. And it was really fun to see him trying to get the team to get used to him as the new leader and them not being really sure that he deserves it and so it was a lot of him proving himself and with that I really love this whole fight scene where he's fighting around and inside of this limo and the way that the whole scene was shot was just really well done. And then the moments with Oliver and William in this episode interesting with Oliver trying to figure out how to talk to William and be there for him but he just keeps failing. So it was kind of cool how they finally did establish the triangle between Oliver, William, and Felicity with Felicity being there too help William in the way Oliver can't. The whole ending scene for this episode was really interesting and I'm very curious to see what might come out of that with John using drugs to help stabilize his hand and get him focused. I'm very curious to see how that might affect the team when they discover what he's up to and if it's going to make any sort of connection back to the main story in an episode where like they're tracking down the drug dealer that he uses or something like that reveals to the whole team what he's up to. And just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode to watch and see this new hero strategy that they're going with.

Riverdale Season 2 Episode 3 "Chapter Sixteen: The Watcher in the Woods" Review


Archie takes matters into his own hands; An unexpected turn of events leads the town to realize their darkest chapter may be far from over.

This was a really interesting and okay episode that wasn't all that exciting but it continued to do a lot of setting up of bigger plot points. And everything around Archie in this episode was interesting to see him starting up this whole group to do what they felt the police couldn't do and trying to catch this masked man so they're hanging up posters and making videos to show themselves off and referring to themselves as the red circle was interesting but I'm wondering what all the repercussions might be for Archie in the future when someone in the group gets out of hand or something goes wrong I'm just interested to see what's all going to happen there. Then the moments with Betty and her family were really great with them finally getting a message from the masked man and him saying that he wants to be known for the killing said he did he wanted to be posted publicly in the paper and stuff like that makes me really interested to see what's all in store for Betty's family in the future with them being the one who runs the paper. Then the moments between Betty and Kevin in this episode were really interesting and I kind of want to know more about what Kevin was up to because Betty was so afraid for him and all his antics that he did that night that I want to know a bit more about what Kevin was doing besides him just going out for runs and hitting on guys. Then I really loved everything with Jughead in this episode and him starting up his life at his new school and him figuring out who he should be friends to stay safe and that and Southside school you definitely need friends otherwise bad things will happen to you. And him working on trying to keep some of his old life from Riverdale High present in his new school by working on the paper and everything around that was really fun. Then the moments with Veronica in this episode okay with her continuing on her quest to figure out what her family is up to and her introducing her friends and Archie more to her father and with how this episode ended for Veronica and her father makes me really interested to see what secrets her parents are going to continue to hide from her. And then just overall this was a really interesting and fun episode that makes me really curious to see what's all going to happen moving forward.

American Horror Story: Cult Episode 8 "Winter of Our Discontent" Review


Ally confronts Kai meanwhile Winter must choose between Kai and Beverly when he makes a questionable decision.

This was a really amazing and entertaining episode that was so great to watch and see how everything was done and what all might happen going forward. And I really love that most of this episode revolved around Winter and her dealing with everything that's going on with Kai and her trying to decide if she is going to stick with her brother because he's her brother or if she's going to go with Beverly and try and protect herself. And I just really loved how she dealt with everything that Kai sort of threw out to her and how she sort of evolve to settling on that her brother really is out of hand with him making all these decisions to try and keep the cult going after he dies because he fully thinks that he's going to die at some point. And then I really loved the moment when Winter has to face off against the detective and she sort of harkens back to the last episode was Valerie Solanas and she tries to get the detective to call himself a turd and she calls him scum and does all this different stuff was just really amazing to see her finally sort of start to stand up for herself and making decisions for herself. And then the moments with Beverly or interesting with how everything ended and how it all sort of interconnected back to Winter because at the beginning of this episode Beverly made the comment to Winter that she had so much time to try and get her brother back on the right track otherwise Beverly was going to go and kill him so how old it turned out was just really amazing. Then the moments with Ally were really great with her whole conversation with Kai and her trying to understand why he's doing what he's doing and the fact that she joined the cult in this episode to try and get back her son and trying to get back everything that she wants makes me really excited to see what's all going to happen between Ally and Ivy in the next episodes. Then Kai's older brother's whole story makes me really curious to know what he actually had planned whether it is what Ally said that his brother really had a plan which was that he wants to try and have all these documents saying that he was trying to get Kai committed for insanity as a way that once Kai's plans eventually fail he will have a backup to say that he knew about it and he tried to stop it or if his older brother was actually genuinely trying to help Kai all that I'm really interested to know more about but with how this episode ended I don't think that's going to happen. And then just overall this was a really amazing and entertaining episode that you really need to watch to fully understand what all happened in what's all going on.

The Flash Season 4 Episode 3 "Luck Be a Lady" Review


A new meta called Hazard causes bad luck for Barry and the team, while Harry Wells returns to Earth-1 with a message for Wally from Jesse.

This was a really interesting and great episode that was so much fun to watch and see how they decide to do everything. And I really loved what they did with the character of Hazard where she was very different from any other villain because her whole backstory was that she used to be in a lifestyle of constant bad luck but then when she was changed she got into this major streak of having good luck and everyone else around her sort of got her bad luck. Then how they decide to do her sort of taking on her new lifestyle was interesting in the conversation between her and Barry where they are talking about everything that she's doing and she just kind of states it as well now everyone else gets to know how she felt, that was really interesting. And then I really liked how they would portray her overall where she didn't exactly want to hurt anyone and she wasn't like out for revenge or anything she just wanted to enjoy finally having luck on her side and that was a real sort of interesting character to see and I really loved it. Then I am really happy that they did bring back Harry because they definitely need a Wells because every other season so far there has been a Wells at some point and out of all them Harry has definitely been my favorite so I'm really happy that he's back and I hope that he sticks around for a bit longer than a couple of episodes. And then everything around the break-up of Wally and Jesse wasn't all that exciting to me because their relationship was not really ever shown that much so it wasn't that big of an impact in my mind. But I am really interested to see how Wally is going to grow as a character now that he's off doing his own thing away from the rest of the team and I'm really excited to see how that's all going to interconnect later on in the whole arrowverse scheme. Then the moments with Joe or really fun with him deciding if he wants to sort of sell the house and create a whole new life with Cecile and with how this episode ended for Joe I'm just really interested to see what's all going to happen in his life. And then just overall this was a really fun and exciting episode that was so entertaining to watch and see how all the different characters dealt with the bad luck that they were dealt.

Scorpion Season 4 Episode 5 "Sci Hard" Review


While attending a tech convention, Team Scorpion is taken hostage by a group attempting a virtual heist.

This was a really interesting and fun episode that was kind of nice because it was a very different story than something that they've done before with how the group was all broken up and how they solve the problems that they faced. And I really kind of like the moments with Walter and Paige in this episode and them being part of the group that was captured and are being held hostage and they sort of have to talk to the gunman to try and figure out what they want and how to get them what they want and do it without causing any death. And it was especially interesting with what the gunman wanted which was access to this bank that one of their sort of friends that they have pop up like once a season and the big problem that occurs is that this bank doesn't actually exist because the tech genius hadn't finished it yet. So the team had to come up with a different way to try and convince the gunman that they've gotten their money without actually having any money to give. Then the moments with Happy and Toby were fun with them being the two people outside of the arena and them having to deal with the police questioning what their motives are and all that stuff, and the best moments were when they had to go and actually rob a bank so then they had money to give the gunman. Then the moments with Cabe in this episode were really fun with him being the one person inside the building who wasn't taken hostage so he has to be there to sort of help Walter and Paige out and also dealing with all the gunman that stumble upon him. Then Sylvester was fun in his moments where he's trying to take his bar exam but also trying to help team Scorpion and he has to find a way to do both and the prospector who was watching over everything he's doing was just a fun little addition to everything. And I'm really curious to know if Sylvester actually passed the test by just getting the 80 questions that he did do done correctly or if the Prospectors just passed him because they knew that he needed to pass. And then just overall this was a really fun and interesting episode to watch.

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 3 "Far from the Tree" Review


Maggie reaches out to her estranged father when Eliza throws her and Alex a wedding shower, while Supergirl joins J'onn on a personal mission.

This was a really entertaining and interesting and exciting episode watch and see how everything turned out. I really kind of like that all of this episode revolved on Dad's and father figures and how all that interconnected and worked in this episode. I really enjoyed the moments with Maggie trying to connect with her father and trying to figure out what went wrong in the relationship and trying to establish a relationship again and just I really enjoyed how all that turned out and especially the whole speech that she gave her father at the very end of their scenes together where she talked about how she was originally like a scared girl trying to get your approval and stuff like that but she's learned to grow past that and she's her own woman now and all the stuff her father didn't want her to be and she accepts that as herself. And stuff like that was just really interesting to hear come out of her mouth but then I also like those little moments with her father trying to get along with her and trying to understand her and that was just really great and interesting to see. Then all the moments with J'onn trying to help out M'gann back on Mars and figure out what she's all been up to and stuff like that was really interesting with what it reveal to J'onn about the fact that his father didn't die in the camps and stuff he's still alive and that thought this a rouge group of white Martians that are working with M'gann is actually trying to stop the big final test that the white Martians are doing and stuff like that but they need J'onn's father's help to be able to find the staff and how it worked out and all that was really interesting. And I just really enjoy those moments in the beginning where J'onn's father doesn't believe that he is his son he believes that it's a white martian playing trick on him and how it eventually was revealed J'onn is his son was really interesting. And it was really interesting how Supergirl was kind of a supportive character in this episode even though I'm mostly here to watch Supergirl it was interesting to see her step down and give someone else center stage. And just overall this was a really entertaining and great episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next. 

The Gifted Season 1 Episode 4 "eXit strategy" Review


The mutants devise a plan to take down Sentinel Services; Eclipse looks to an old friend to obtain information; Lauren and Andy attempt to combine their powers to help the group.

It was a really great and entertaining episode that was so much fun to see how everything turned out and how they fix all the problems that they faced. And I really like the moments between Lauren and Andy in this episode and them figuring out a way to combine their powers to make them into a stronger force where Andy's powers are used for its destructive ability and then Lauren's powers are there to sort of guide Andy's. I just really like that because as I've said before their powers are really interesting because they're so similar but also really different. Then the whole plan to actually try and stop the Sentinel security trucks bringing Reed and Polaris to there high-security prison was really interesting to see all the different problems that they faced when their plans to go quite right. And I really loved the introduction of this other mutant who is a friend of Thunderbird and this other mutants ability is to sort of stop other mutants from using their abilities so that was interesting how Sentinel security was using mutants to sort of helping them. And then just the whole action sequence of everyone trying to get in and stop the Sentinel security was just so interesting and fun to see how every single one of the main characters played into it. Then the moments between Polaris and Reed in this episode were really interesting with how they started out not wanting to work with each other because Polaris sees Reed as the enemy but then when it came down to it they learn to work together and I'm just really interested to see how that might work in Reed's favor in the future. And then just overall this was a really amazing and entertaining episode watch and see and I'm really excited to see where the story go now that everyone's back together.

Arrow Season 6 Episode 2 "Tribute" Review

 Anatoly returns to Star City with a sinister agenda as Oliver tries to balance being the mayor, the Green Arrow and William's father.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that did a really nice job of having a bunch of really solid storylines going on all at once. I really liked all the moments with Oliver struggling to try and keep his other identity a secret from the public now that everyone's on high alert trying to prove whether he is the Green Arrow or not. And it was really interesting that they brought this FBI agent in to look into the case of Oliver Queen and that seems like a really interesting side storyline to keep going back to so I'm excited about that. And I really liked all the moments with Felicity and Curtis looking into the photo that seemed to prove Oliver as being the Green Arrow and them trying to find some way of how this picture got taken or what's all going on with it. Then the moments with Oliver trying to step up and become a father was really interesting with him trying to find a way to be what William need him to be and with how this episode ended I find it really interesting the choice he decided to make but I don't think it's going to last that long because Oliver will always be the Green Arrow. Then moments between Dinah and Diggle we're really interesting with the truth coming out more about what is wrong with Diggle and why he isn't firing his gun and the fact that they chose to keep it a secret up until the very end where they tried to tell the truth but just didn't get the chance to was really interesting and I'm curious to see what's going to happen when the truth does come out. Then all the moments with Anatoly we're really interesting with him using his and Oliver's old friendship as a weapon against Oliver as well as the fact of Oliver being under the public eye to his advantage to get Oliver to do whatever he wanted. But then the reveal at the end that Anatoly wasn't the one who put out the photo of Oliver makes me very interested to see who actually did. Then just overall this was a really interesting and great episode that I'm very curious to see where they're going to take the storyline.

Gotham Season 4 Episode 5 "The Blade's Path" Review


Nygma uses Butch to regain power and identity; Sofia Falcone appeals to Penguin's vulnerable side; Bruce makes bold moves with the dagger in his possession.

This was a really interesting and great episode that left a lot of doors open for where they could take the story. Everything around Bruce this episode was really interesting with him going up against Ra's al Ghul and he sort of figures out more what his possible destiny is and what Ra's al Ghul wants from him. And with how this episode ended I'm very curious to know what they're going to do with the story because they seem to be putting such an emphasis on Ra's al Ghul being around that it would be interesting to see what they're going to do now because they essentially killed him off so he's not there to train Bruce like in the classic sense so maybe he needed Bruce to kill him to like gain more power or something and eventually he'll come back and a reincarnated form or something because it seems so weird for them to just introduce him and then kill him off few episodes later. But then everything Penguin and Sophia were really great with Sophia doing everything I thought she would do and trying to gain Penguins trust and have him on her side too then eventually turn on him and that I'm really excited to see. And then everything with Nygma in this episode was really interesting with how they chose to bring back Butch and have him be Solomon Grundy which is a Gotham character I'm not that familiar with so I'm very interested to see what they're going to do with that storyline and it definitely is a storyline that I'm much more interested in seeing if that's going to be the redemption storyline that seems to be that I'm kind of okay with it. So overall this was a really entertaining and interesting episode and I'm really excited to see where they're going to take the storyline next.

Riverdale Season 2 Episode 2 "Chapter Fifteen: Nighthawks" Review


With the gunman still at large, Betty leads the charge to save Pop's from closing; Jughead's attempt to find FP a new lawyer may have some serious repercussions.

This was a really entertaining and great episode that had a lot of just really nice moments in this episode. Betty in this episode was so so interesting to see how she was done and just watching her completely flip on the whole idea of being a really nice girl because she absolutely blackmailed Cheryl in this episode and that was amazing to see because earlier this episode Jughead made the comment he would blackmail Cheryl if he could but he just wouldn't feel so bad about doing it with all the different stuff that happened to Cheryl but Betty just completely ignore that just because she needed her and that was just so so amazing to see and then everything. It was amazing then all the moments with Veronica and her whole family issues was very interesting especially once things kept being revealed here and there and just was amazing to see how everything was done and what all happened and all the different truth that were slowly revealed behind Veronica's back I'm so excited to see what might happen. However, I can't wait to see how Veronica's opinion of both her parents might change once that truth is revealed to her. And like I said I'm just so excited to see what's all going to happen how everything's going to turn out as Veronica keeps finding out what her family is actually up to. And I really kind of want to know what Lodges end game is. Then everything with Archie was really great in this episode with a lot of different stuff that brought up in the last review happening. Which is that he's super tired and super disoriented and because of it. And him finding out about what happened to Grundy was interesting with him trying to make those connections between what happened to his father and what happened to Grundy and him trying to make those connections but him just not being in the right mindset to do it and then him costly hallucinating about the gunman being around. And him actually going to Reggie for some drugs and stuff to try and keep himself awake and I really love the moment when Jughead made the Nightmare on Elm Street 3 reference. And just overall this was a really interesting and entertaining episode and I'm really excited to see what will happen next.

American Horror Story: Cult Episode 7 "Valerie Solanas Died for Your Sins: Scumbag" Review


Kai begins to solidify his grasp on power; Bebe Babbitt, the former lover of the first female cult leader Valerie Solanas, who warns Beverley, Ivy, and Winter about Kai.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that was so great with the way they decide to do with storyline and I really love what they decide to do with Valerie Solanas and I don't know much about her so I don't know what's true and what isn't and I just really liked this whole thing around the Scumbag manifesto. I was a little confused around the whole Scum murders because I thought Twisty the Clown was the Zodiac killer but I could be wrong because the Freak Show season is the one I'm least familiar with. But even so, the whole episode revolving around Valerie's slow descent into madness was really great with how everything was shown. Then the moments with the girls starting to turn their backs on Kai was really great and with how this episode ended I'm really curious to know what all Kai actually has planned. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and amazing episode and I can't wait to see what they will do next. 

The Flash Season 4 Episode 2 "Mixed Signals" Review


Barry deals with the ramifications of abandoning Iris while facing a meta who can control technology.

This was a really great and entertaining episode that had a lot of interesting moments do it. I enjoyed this whole new metahuman especially with all the different stuff that was revealed at the end of this episode which is that this is a metahuman but he wasn't created from the particle accelerator exploding he was actually created some other way that wasn't really describe but it was kind of hinted at that it might be in some connection to The Thinker. Then I really enjoyed the moments with Barry figuring out and being reintroduced to the world around him since he's been gone for 6 months. And I just enjoyed seeing him being so happy that he is back and being so happy that he gets to be The Flash again but then also seen those moments with him and Iris struggling with there relationship and Berry trying to just pick up where they left off but Iris just can't really seem to be there too. And with that I really like the moments of them going to couples therapy and then picking up on these little things that eventually lead them to the problem they were having. Then the moments between Cisco and Gypsy were interesting I'm still not a huge fan of the idea of them being a couple because for some reason my mind I kind of have them fixated as being like the same person but from two different Earths so I just find that weird even though I don't believe it's true but still I just have them like that and I just don't understand their relationship but still in this all the parts about them working on understanding how there relationship works was really great. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode to watch and I can't wait to see where they will go next. 

Scorpion Season 4 Episode 4 "Nuke Kids on the Block" Review

During the decommissioning of an old nuclear missile, the team is exposed to the toxic vapor. Paige doesn't want Happy to tag along with her and Walter.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that wasn't the greatest in staying entertaining but it did have a lot of very fun moments to it. I didn't much care for the whole angry Happy in this that she's mad at Paige because Paige didn't want her to be around her and Walter as much and stuff like that that wasn't the greatest but then later when it was revealed in the episode that Happy's possibly just taking her anger out at Paige because of the fact that she's the one who messed up the nuclear missile and was the one who started releasing the fuel and stuff so Happy's actually mad herself but it's taking out Paige that made a bit more interesting but still just that whole sort of thing that was going on throughout this episode. Then the moments with Sylvester were kind of boring but okay with him trying to focus on stopping this missile from exploding and doing all the different stuff to try and get the city council on his side. And I just don't care for that so I'm really hoping that somewhere down the line he eventually find a way to step away from his councilmen job and just focuses on Scorpion because his whole double life is kind of annoying. Then how the team actually managed to sort of stop the nuclear missile from exploding and stop the whole fuel leak kind of and stuff like that was really interesting with all the different things that they did and all the different problems that they solved and they just happen to be lucky enough that they brought a 3D printer with them to sort of help create a bunch of different things to help with their problems so that was interesting with them first doing all this different stuff to try and stop the fuel leak from causing the missile from collapsing on itself and then eventually when they did have to sort of launch it and then they had to disarm it that was also interesting. And then just overall like I said this was a really interesting an okay episode that wasn't the most entertaining but did have some really entertaining moments in it between the different conversations that everyone had.

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 2 "Triggers" Review


A thief with psychic powers attacks National City and proves to be a formidable opponent for Supergirl.

This was a really great and interesting episode that had a really nice story about Supergirl when she feels powerless even though she has all these powers. And I really liked what they did with the ideas of Supergirl having this big fear that she had overcome and as the episode progressed you sort of got to see more detail of what her fear truly is. Where at first it made it sort of seemed like her fear was having to relive her escaping Krypton but then as the episode progressed it was sort of more shown that she's actually afraid of when Mon-El was escaping Earth and the fact that she hasn't heard back from him or anything like that she has this big fear that she might have killed him and that he's dead and stuff so I just really like that they did have that sort of progression of what she was actually afraid of shown as episode progressed. Then I really enjoyed how they did it with because Kara so afraid of all this different stuff she was struggling with all her relationships with a lot of her friends where she doesn't really know how to talk about what's going on to her sister or to J'onn and stuff like that and then it's also affecting her work life because Lena has now fully taking over and she's trying to form a relationship with Kara but Kara is just not all of their because of the fear stuff going on and her stuff with Supergirl that Lena doesn't know about so that was interesting to see how all those connections and stuff sort of fell apart. But then eventually all the things around Reign we're really interesting with her daughter sort of thinking of her as a superhero because of the events that happened in the last episode but she's not believing it quite herself so her daughter was trying to do all the stuff to prove that she is a superhero and I liked the reasons behind all of the different stuff that was really interesting. Then I really liked the ending for Reign where she decided to test out her powers a bit herself to see if they work. And then overall this was a really entertaining and really interesting episode and I'm just very curious to know where they're taking the story because it is still a lot of Kara recovering from the events of the last season finale and then there's a bunch of other little things being thrown in there that I'm just really curious to know where they're going.

The Gifted Season 1 Episode 3 "eXodus" Review


In an attempt to reunite, Reed makes a deal with the Sentinel Services while Caitlin and the kids get help from someone outside the compound.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that had a lot of really great moments and a lot of very nice character development for some of the different characters. I really liked what they did with Reed in this episode with him going through all this different stuff with Sentinel security to try and find a way to get himself inside the Mutant Underground so then the Sentinel security can go in and capture them all. And then watching his development as he realizes himself that these mutants are not enemies they're still humans at the end of the day that still has feelings and there still people so him changing his tone and going on the side of the mutants because his kids and his family has just got to accept that they are mutants. So I kind of can't wait to see what they're going to do with him because they kind of hinted at him going to a high-security prison with another mutant which hopefully is Polaris so then all the different storylines can finally interconnect.  Then the moments with Kate going out and trying to find help for her family away from the underground was interesting with how her brother was very afraid of them at first because of how much his character developed as the episode went on and he remembered that this is his family. Then it was interesting to see how the two kids reacted to what has happened to there home since they left. Everything around Blink was really interesting with her not really knowing how to control her powers and Thunderbird trying to find a way to help her. Then it was interesting to finally see what Dreamer can do because of how her powers work where she can like transfer memories into peoples heads and just have them gain completely fake memories. Then the two name drops in the conversation between Thunderbird and Dreamer makes me really curious to know what happened to the two people Dreamer messed with because I know there is a Walker in the x-men universe where I think he was possessed by a demon or something like that but then I don't remember an Eve so maybe those two people might show up at some time hopefully. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and great episode that was so much fun to watch and I'm curious to see what will happen next. 

The Good Doctor Season 1 Episode 4 "Pipes" Review


Dr. Neil Melendez and the team have to wade through legal waters when a husband and wife have to make a life-changing decision about their unborn child. Meanwhile, Dr. Shaun Murphy struggles to adjust to his new environment at home and makes a huge step forward with his colleagues.


This was a really interesting and okay episode that did have some great moments to it. I enjoyed all the moments with Dr. Melendez they were very interesting with how he approached this surgery that he had to do where the patient is pregnant but then also has a lot of different sort of heart and blood clotting problems. So they have to figure out how to get this tumor off the unborn baby without killing the mother because of the fact that the mother doesn't want to terminate the pregnancy she's tried for so long to be able to become pregnant that she doesn't want to lose his baby. So how he approached doing the surgery and how all that was done was just really interesting to see. And then all the most with Dr. Murphy were very interesting and great with him understanding his life in San Francisco and him struggling with his apartment that isn't in the best condition and him sort of learning more about how to communicate with people and how to approach people, friends, and stuff was interesting to see because he didn't fully understand. Then I liked the moments with the other doctors trying to understand Dr. Murphy more because he's probably not going anywhere so there's more on how to talk to him and how he reacts to stuff and the doctors try and teach him how to become a better doctor and how to approach people more. Then just overall this was a really interesting and entertaining episode like I said that was so much fun to watch and see what all they did there.

Wisdom of the Crowd Season 1 Episode 3 "Machine Learning" Review

After the team puts publicly available crime data into Sophe, the platform exposes a serial killer plaguing Silicon Valley and the Bay Area by connecting previously unrelated murders.

This was a really entertaining and interesting episode that was great because the whole main case for them was brought up from the computer system and not an actual person. And with that, I really liked how Sophe made all these connections through small similarity between all the cases that a normal person might overlook. I really loved the scene where they are talking to the one women who survived an attack by the serial killer and all the little notes of things that she talks about playing into the solution of who the killer is later on. And the ending was really great for the survivor because she was so afraid to go out running again thinking she might be attacked again, but once she saw the killer was caught she put on her running shoes again and went out. Then the scenes around Tanner looking for Kevin was interesting with more and more clues being relieved around what was actually going on with Mia. And I really loved the scene where Tanner and Kevin finally meet and just sit down and talk about Mia. With all that was relieved around what was actually going on with Mia that she kept hidden from her father I kind of can’t wait to see what other truths might be shown down the line. And just overall this was a really exciting and interesting episode and I can’t wait to see what they are going to do next.   

Star Trek: Discovery Season 1 Episode 5 "Choose Your Pain" Review


While on a mission, Lorca is captured by the Klingons and unexpectedly finds himself in the company of prisoner of war Starfleet Lieutenant Ash Tyler and notorious criminal Harry Mudd.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that had both a really good main story and side story. I really liked Michael tried to do all she could to protect Ripper because she is so sure that the space jumping is hurting the creature. And it was interesting how Michael and some of the other scientist tried to come up with other ways to make that same connection between the spores and the machine without using the creature but the best solution they can find it to use a human instead because they are just similar enough to Ripper. Then the moments with Saru acting as captain and he is trying to find a way to be the best captain possible but he is struggling to seem powerful and unafraid and because of that he really isn't listening to what others are saying. Then the moments with captain Lorca were really great with him figuring out how things among the prisoners work and what the Klingons want with him. I really loved the whole escape scene and how captain Lorca got away and back save aboard the Discovery. And I can't wait to see how Ash will fit in among the rest of the crew, and I can't wait to see how they might eventually bring Harry back into the mix since Lorca turned on him. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and great episode and I'm curious to know what they are going to do next.   

Inhumans Season 1 Episode 4 "Make Way for... Medusa" Review


The search for Black Bolt continues on Earth; Maximus makes bold moves to cement his status as the new ruler of Attilan.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that had a lot of really great moments in it. I really liked the moments with Black Bolt and Dr. Evan Declan and all the experiments that were done on Black Bolt to understand how his powers work and the truth coming out of why Dr. Evan wants Black Bolt. But mostly I really enjoyed the moments when Black Bolt would do all this stuff for Dr. Evan but then constantly remind him that he needs to hold up his end of the deal and help Black Bolt find his wife. Then the moments with Medusa we're really great with her working with this other scientist lady and them being on the run from the cops and just really learning about each other and how things work. Those moments were just really great to sort of understand the character of Medusa more and I really enjoyed when they did make the one joke about her name being related to having a lot of hair and at this moment Medusa doesn't. Then the moments with Gorgon were great with him trying to protect the friends that he's made but them still wanting to stand by his side. The moments with Karnak still aren't my favorite but it was better in this episode because they were mostly about him understanding how things on earth work and him just enjoying being on earth a bit more. Then Maximus's whole plan on wanting to go through terragenesis a second time somewhat of confirms that they are differing from his story where he truly doesn't have any powers and then maybe him going through this process again will give him some which are an interesting deviation from the classic story that I'm kind of okay with if they do do it right. Then the moments with Crystal we're fine with her understanding more of what Earth is like in her gaining some friends and stuff like that. And then just overall this was a really fun and interesting episode and I'm curious to see where they're going to take the story next.

Arrow Season 6 Episode 1 "Fallout" Review


Oliver deals with the fallout of the explosion on the island.

This was a really great and entertaining episode that I'm a little disappointed in how they chose to handle everything around the explosion on the island. Because they made such a big deal about it saying it is a big mystery about who would live and who would die just to then go and have literally everyone survive except of Ben’s mother which yes, of course, she would die because she was really only there to end up dead. But then the thing with Thea was really annoying because I’m pretty sure I stated in my review of the season finale that to kill off Thea would be incredibly stupid after the whole scene where Malcolm sacrificed himself to save Thea and yes she didn't die but essentially compared to everyone else she got hurt the worst. And then Slade going and leaving everybody else behind on the island to protect himself seemed like a complete change in character from how he has grown. And they made such a big deal about needing to get the team to this one dock to be safe and instead most of them just went and hid inside the plane they were right next to. But besides all that disappointing buildup that really lead nowhere, in my opinion, the rest of the episode was really great. With the moments of Black Siren and the team trying to figure out what her plans are and trying to stop them. I didn't much care for the whole thing around Lance feeling bad for shooting Black Siren and him making all these points continuously saying that it is Laurel which I just can't agree with because yes it is a Laurel but this Laurel grew up with a kind of different life so she isn't there Laurel. But I can understand a bit the feeling of guilt he has for shooting her because she does at least look like there Laurel so I can understand a bit of that tug of the heart he feels for shooting her. Then I'm very interested in knowing what is going on with Diggle because in this episode his aim was off and it really kind of seemed like he didn't know if he wanted to be Spartan anymore so I really want to know more about that. And then just overall this was a really great and exciting first episode and I'm very curious to see where they will go from here.
