Arrow Season 5 Episode 23 "Lian Yu" Review
Oliver assembles a group of unlikely allies - Slade, Nyssa, Merlyn, and Digger Harkness - to engage in an epic battle against Chase and his army.
This was a really entertaining episode that was a really great season finale episode that is a nice job of wrapping everything up from this season as will as introduce some new problems for the next season. I really enjoyed the team up of all these kind of random people from Oliver's life helping him out to save his family and friends. The only one that was kind of a problem and a little confusing was Digger Harkness because he kind of came out of nowhere and all the sudden switched to working with Adrian to then just kind of disappearing partway through this episode, so it really kind of felt like they wanted him in this episode but didn't know what to do with him. It was really interesting how they chose to split up team arrow into a few different spots and it was interesting to watch how Oliver progressed from point A, to point B, to point C. Then the small storyline between Thea and Merlyn in this episode was kind of interesting with Thea finally settling on that fact that she does have some connection to Merlyn with how much he has helped her grow as a character and now with the idea that he might be gone she is feeling a little heartbroken about it, even though I don't think he is really dead because they can't just kill off a character like him. Then I really loved how they had these little personal battles with the two people you would like to see face each other do so it was Oliver vs Adrian, Thalia vs Nyssa, and Black Canary vs Black Siren. And it was really great to see how each of those little fights turned out and I loved when Quinten actually referred to Dinah as the Black Canary. Then Adrian's whole plan of how he thought everything was going to work out was really kind of far fetched that again brought up one of the questions I asked in the last review which was how many times did Arien sneak off to Lian Yu because to fill out everything they way it was he had to have made several trips and how did no one notice that. But it was interesting with how Adrian stuck to his plan of trying to prove Oliver is a killer and will always be a killer and when Oliver didn't agree with that plan Adrian had to and push him a little further by bringing up the fact that he killed Oliver's son. And with that, I loved how SladeAnd the rest of the team reacted to the idea that Oliver son might be dead but Oliver refused to believe that. Adrian's secret other plan was interesting with him laying bombs all through Lian Yu and Adrian making himself the detonator so if he dies Lian Yu explodes. Which seemed a little weird how he made himself the detonator instead of having a button because how would that ever really happen. The whole final scene between Oliver and Adrian was really great with Oliver making the decision of saving Willam or all of his friends. I am a little angry that when it came down to is Adrian is still dead even though Oliver wasn't the one who killed him. And with how this episode ended I'm curious and excited to see what will happen next season. And I do think that everyone on the island is still alive after it exploded because I think Oliver gave Slade some kind of code word when Oliver told Felicity to tell Slade to take them to an ARGUS dock I feel like that was some kind of code word that made Slade bring them to some kind of safe bunker and their all okay. And just overall this was a really great season finale episode And I'm so excited to see what they are going to do next season.
The Flash Season 3 Episode 23 "Finish Line" Review
With nothing left to lose, Barry takes on Savitar in an epic conclusion.
This was an entertaining and really great episode that was a nice season finale episode that did a great job at wrapping everything up from the season as well as introduce some things for the next season. And I really love how they went about saving Iris and I really love that it didn't involve things like time travel but instead it was set up as a plan made by some of the team and left Barry out of it, but with that I'm a little sad who ended up dying in place of Iris. It was really interesting how Iris not dying affected Savitar. I didn't like the whole scene where for some reason the team tried to become friends with Savitar, I don't get it because I don't understand how that would ever work out and it really seemed like kind of a weird moment in this episode. It was interesting to see how Savitar interacted with Iris because deep down inside of him Savitar is still Barry and he still loves Iris so it was interesting to see him try and not feel those feeling he has for her. Then the scenes where they had Cisco and Killer Frost working to make this device that could split Savitar all through time were really interesting but I wonder how Savitar ever thought Cisco would actually make a device that would actually work for him. Then the moments with Killer Frost were really great with them making this cure that could turn her back to Caitlin and instead of just knocking Killer Frost out and giving the cure to her they gave her a choice to take the cure or not. And through giving her that choice she kind of developed more as a character and ended up somewhere in-between Caitlin and Killer Frost. And I'm very curious to see what they will do with her in the next season and if she might because almost a hero where she wouldn't necessarily become a part of team flash again but she will show up to help out when they need her. Then the ending was really interesting with them trying to go back to normal but the team is still suffering from the events of what happened and the was almost really great to see And at the very last moment everything kind of turned on its head and Barry was forced to make a choice and I'm curious to see where that choice might case next season and how Barry might get out of that situation I can't wait to see. So overall this was a really amazing and great season finale episode and I can't wait to see what they are going to do next season.
Gotham Season 3 Episode 19 "All Will Be Judged" Review
Temple Shaman takes Bruce to the next phase of his training; Gordon and Bullock discover a crystal owl that carries the biggest secrets of Gotham's underworld; Nygma and Penguin must work together to get out of a tricky situation.
And this was a really interesting episode that wasn't the most like exciting of episodes but it still had some really entertaining and really kind of interesting and great moments in it. And I did really enjoy all the things with Gordon and Bullock now going around trying to stop the Court of Owls but having a hard time with it because the fact that the Court of Owls knows that Gordon betrayed them and it's pretty much them trying to come after and kill Gordon, so they're trying to go bringing down the court in a very different way and just all that was really interesting to see. Especially with them bringing back their old commissioner who is much more looking like the Judge and filling in for not quite that character but a very similar sort of person to that character of the villain of the Judge and that was interesting to see him like living his life as a crazy person but not understanding that he is sick and crazy he thinks he's a clear minded person and that was interesting to see. I liked him going through that hold court case actually with Gordon and that whole scene of him actually claiming Gordon as guilty for everything he's done was interesting to see and just to see they're old commissioner in his duties as being the Judge and trying to kill Gordon and cut off his head because of everything he's done interesting kind of exciting to see. And then I really enjoyed the scene where Gordon goes and finally bring in the head Lady of the Court of Owls that I can't remember her name, but they bring her in and are questioning her and stuff and Alfred is just outside the door because he's gone to them knowing now that Bruce is missing. It was interesting how Alfred has his own agenda trying to get Bruce back from the court, and the three of them trying to work against the Court of Owls was interesting to see with each of them trying to approach the situation in different ways. Then the scenes with Penguin and Nygma were okay but they definitely one of the weaker parts in this episode. Because it was mostly just them bickering back and forth with each other for a while until they're like "okay I guess we have to work together to get out of this," and then essentially they escaped without really showing fully how they did it just showed like the first step of how they got out. I'm interested more to see once like they're five hours that they agreed upon is up and they finally can go back to try and kill each other I'm excited to see what's going to happen there. Then the moments with Bruce in this episode were entertaining with them going back to the memory of his parent's death and the Shaman helping his to get past the emotions thereby having his anger turn towards the Court and the part they played in his parent's death and no longer at the fact that they died. With that, I'm curious to see what the Shaman has planned for Burce because he kind of turned Bruce into an emotionless shell and in the preview he had Bruce working with the Court so I'm curious to see what will happen there. Anf just overall this was a really entertaining episode but it was more of an episode to set up what is going to happen next.

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 22 "Nevertheless, She Persisted" Review
Supergirl challenges Rhea to battle to save National City. Meanwhile, Superman returns and Cat Grant offers Supergirl some sage advice.
This was a really great and entertaining episode that did a really good job for a season finale at wrapping everything up from the season and bringing everything in from start to end. I loved the beginning fight scene between Supergirl and Superman especially with the introduction of silver kryptonite that makes the person affected see their worse enemy so Superman thought he was fighting Zod instead of Supergirl. All the preparation for the fight between Rhea and Supergirl was very interesting to see all of what Kara did to try and make it a fair fight and set things up just in case she lost. But with that, it was a little annoying that neither side of the fight stuck to the rules about not proceeding with their attacks until the fight was over. The moments between Lena and Lillian were very interesting with Lena still hating her mother and her mother starting to believe that maybe Lena is the better candidate to help in her quest to destroy any alien life over Lex. But I did like how when Lena was given the weapon that could destroy Supergirl and Superman she decided to change it so that it could work for there current fight where the machine would case out into the atmosphere a high amount of lead instead of kryptonite. I was interesting how they had an underlining choice that Kara had to make where she had to choose between saving the people of earth or the man she loves Mon-El. Then the ending was really great with Kara still working through her heartbreak but still wanting to stick to her underlining instinct to go out and be Supergirl. And just overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait to see what the next season might bring especially with what the ending teased with an evil Kryptonian living on earth all these years like Clark.

Arrow Season 5 Episode 22 "Missing" Review
Black Siren returns to give Chase help; Felicity plans a birthday party for Oliver; Lance is angry with Rene for missing the custody hearing about his daughter.
This was a really interesting episode that was so entertaining to watch and had a lot of really great moments to watch. It was really interesting to see how each of the members of team arrow was eventually picked up by Chase's team. I really didn't care for the fact that they made Lance forget about Black Siren because did the writers forget that earlier in this season they had a whole episode dedicated to Black Siren pretending to be Loral and crushing Lance's heart, even more, they made it seem like he had no idea of her existence when that is just not true, if they instead wrote it as him not being aware that Black Siren broke out of prison so he is a bit hesitant to shoot someone who looks like Loral I would be a bit more forgiving but they went and made him completely dumb. It was interesting how they brought Malcolm back to help Oliver get his friends back and I can't wait to see what a team up between Oliver, Malcolm, and Nyssa might bring. The ending of this episode where they decided to bring everyone back to the island Oliver was stuck on was an okay idea but it was really only thrown in there so Oliver could go and get Deathstroke. I didn't much care for the idea that they decided to not show Rene or Dinah at all in this episode because the least they could have done was so them with the rest of the team when they first showed up on the island but now I have to guess that they are trapped somewhere else on the island. And just overall this was an okay episode for its purpose which is to next up the next episode but is wasn't the greatest of on its own.
Agents of SHIELD Season 4 Episode 22 "World's End" Review
With the surprising emergence of Ghost Rider, Coulson and the team attempt to stop Aida from ending the world.
This was a really entertaining and great episode that did an amazing job at wrapping everything up from this season as well as setting things up for the next season. I really liked how they brought Ghost Rider back in this episode and actually gave him a reason for being there which is that he is truly the only person who can physically hurt Aida and he is on a quest to bring down Aida and the Darkhold once and for all. It was really interesting how Aida's team of LMD's tried to carry through with their plans to make the public afraid of inhumans and for the most part they succeeded, but they forgot the Darkhold giving the agents more power. I did really like the scene where Aida and found Simmons and Fitz and asks Fitz to give a reason as to why she shouldn't kill Simmons, that whole scene was really interesting especially when the truth came out as to what was really going on. Then the Ghost Rider jumping inside of Coulson was a really cool way to end Aida but it also makes me curious as to why the Rider chose him because the Ghost Rider only picks people who have darkness inside of them so what is Coulson hiding. All the moments with Mack and Yo-yo inside of the Framework was great with Mack realizing that the Framework in falling apart around him but he still doesn't want to leave his daughter. I really loved the scene where Mack brings up how he won't leave because the only person he cares about is sitting right there with him and he was talking about his daughter and then Yo-yo says the same thing but she is talking about Mack. And then the ending for Radcliff was really great with him having this whole speech about understanding all the mistakes he made and his is all alone on the beach and his speech is cut off because he disappears out of existence and it was just really cool to have that moment of silence that followed him disappearing. And just overall this was a really great season finale and I can't wait to see where they will go next especially with the Inhuman royal family being introduced.
The Flash Season 3 Episode 22 "Infantino Street" Review
Barry chooses to use any means necessary to save the woman he loves; The Flash turns to Captain Cold for help.
This was such a great episode that kind of felt like two episodes smashed together but it managed to stay really organized and was so entertaining to watch. I really loved how throughout this whole episode they had this feeling of dread because everyone knew that if they failed what they were trying to do that night would be the night Iris will die. I also liked that the team finally started to do things where they made plans on what to do but didn't include Barry in those plans because if Barry doesn't know then Savitar doesn't know. All the moments with Barry trying to get a hold of the power source needed to power the speed force bazooka were so great. I did like that they did have one moment where Barry goes and tries to ask Lyla nicely for the power source instead of just having him plan to break into ARGUS and steal it for himself. That being said I loved all the scenes between Barry and Captain Cold where they are breaking in and go through all of Captain Cold's strategies on how to best break into places with his plans following four steps of make a plan, follow the plan, something goes wrong, ditch the plan, or something like that and it was so great how each part of those four steps came into place. Then it was cool how even though Barry is super desperate to do anything in order to save Iris he still has a really nice side of him that is willing to stick around and save Captain Cold even though it would be way easier for him to just run away with the power source, and with that I defiantly agree with Lyla that he deserves to have the power source. The part where H.R. reviles the location of Iris to Barry was really dumb because wasn't the whole point to not even tell present time Barry so future Barry wouldn't find out so just them talking about it in the first place to either Barry was really dumb. I loved when the final scene was taking place and they had the voice over from the message that Iris recorded playing over all the drama. The ending was really cool but also surprising to see how everything turned out and I can't wait to see what will happen in the season finale and where everyone will go from there. And just overall this was a really great episode and it was so entertaining to watch.
Scorpion Season 3 Episode 25 "Scorp Family Robinson" Review
Tensions run high for members of Team Scorpion when they must overcome personal conflicts to be rescued from the desert island they crash landed on three weeks earlier.
This was a really interesting episode that wasn't all that exciting but it was still pretty cool to watch and see how the team eventually got off the island. I knew going into this episode I would care much for it because it was a big continuation of the last episode just dragging the storyline out farther. I did like seeing the team split up and how everyone sorts of became really agitated with each other due to the lack of food and lack of privacy. It was interesting to see the two teams come up with different plans to get off the island with Walter's team making some kind of device that would shake the island enough that scientific researchers might come and look, while Toby's team is working on building a raft to get in the shipping lanes to maybe be picked up by some boats that will go by. And I liked how each team needed the same item that they had to get from Sylvester and in order to get that item they needed to prove why their idea is better than the others. I was kind of cool how they eventually did get the team to work together again by having an event happen that caused them to have to go in and save Ralph and the pilot. Then ending I wasn't too excited about because of the fact that most of them just went back to their normal lives without too much of their time on the island affecting their life back in LA. And I'm still not happy about Walter and Paige's relationship but I like that they finally got the bulk feeling out of the way so maybe in the season to come they will be less awkward around each other and hopefully, it won't be so much in our faces that they are in a relationship. And just overall this was a really entertaining episode but not the strongest of episodes to end the season on.

Gotham Season 3 Episode 18 "Light the Wick" Review
Gordon tracks down the weapon the Court of Owls intend to use for the destruction of Gotham; Kathryn and Temple Shaman tell Bruce about their next move; Ivy offers Selina help.
This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that was a little hard to follow but it was still really great. All the parts with Gordon and the Court of Owls were really interesting with the Court wanting Gordon to prove that he is loyal to them when they have a lot of evidence points overwise. So it was cool when they did the test run on the Alice Tetch virus and they had Gordon be the one to deploy the weapon on the first group of people and they did it to see if he would follow their orders. Then it was interesting to watch Penguin on his quest to track down Nygma and he knows Gordon was the last one to see him alive so Penguin and his group end up having to help Gordon in order to get information on where to find Nygma. Then Ivy was pretty cool with them showing more of her knowledge of plants helping her to save Selina. And it was great to see that the two of them are still really great friends even if they weren't on the best footing last time they saw each other. Then the moments with Bruce were interesting with them focusing on a different memory in Bruce's life all in the quest to make him the guardian of Gotham. And I loved that they focused on a different memory instead of the classic memory of watching his parents die, instead they focused on the moment that he truly first felt alone and angry which was at his parents funeral and he got upset because everyone there was focused on him being an orphan and not on the fact that his parents were murdered and the killer was still out there. And the just overall this was a really interesting and great episode to watch and I'm curious to see what will happen to everyone next.
Supergirl Season 2 Episode 21 "Resist" Review
Supergirl struggles to decide with whether or not to obey the President's orders regarding Rhea's latest actions. Meanwhile, Cat Grant returns to National City.
This was a really great and entertaining episode that had a lot of really fun moments in it. I really liked that they finally came out and showed that the president is an alien and had everyone react to that but also keeping it a secret from the rest of the public. And I really liked that tugs that Kara had to deal with because she knew blowing up the ship Rhea is on is the best option but in doing that she is killing her best friend and her love. I also liked how they brought Cadmus back in this episode with them having their own agenda to save Lena. But still, it was kind of cool to see Cadmus and supergirl working together to achieve the same mission. I loved the conversation between Kara and Lilian about telling Lena the truth about Kara being supergirl and how both sides had their reasons to not tell her because they both knew there would be a big blow out when the truth did come out and Lilian thinks that will be the one opportunity to finally get Lena on her side. Then I liked how the team was kind of split up with Guardian on the ground protecting the people from the alien invasion, Maggie and Alex setting up the laser to destroy all the ships, and supergirl going and trying to save her friends before the ship is destroyed. I loved how they brought Cat back into the mix with her just sort of popping back into the mix. And I loved that she was around to be the voice of guidance for supergirl as well as the citizens of National City. And just overall this was a really great and fun episode and I'm so excited for the finale with superman coming in to join the fight.

Arrow Season 5 Episode 21 "Honor Thy Fathers" Review
Oliver faces the forced release of criminals prosecuted by Adrian Chase, while a crate is delivered to Oliver's office containing a corpse in concrete.
This was a really interesting episode that was entertaining to watch was still not one of the best episodes out there. I did really like Thea being back and what they decided to do with a story line for both her and Oliver for this episode with them discovering some more of the secrets there father hid from them. And I liked the moments where we get to see what their father truly thought of Oliver and Thea and what he kind of had planned for the two of them. Then I found it interesting with what they did with Rene in this episode and how he was really hesitant to go through with this court case to get his daughter back because he didn't want to have to talk about all the terrible things in his daughter's life before she was taken away. And he is struggling with the idea of whether having his daughter back would be the best thing for her or if she is better off staying with her foster family. Then the actual case down of some of these criminals prosecuted by Chase was cool with them working for Chase to recreate the plans of sickness that Chase's father tried to do but on a bigger scale. Then the actual final fight scene between Oliver and Chase was interesting but I didn't much care for it because Adrian just sort of backed down because he discovered his father didn't actually care for him. And that just seemed like such a terrible idea that Adrian either has to have something planned out for the inside of his cell or it was just some really bad writing. But I did like that Oliver didn't just kill Adrian he did bring Adrian to justice somewhat. And I did like when the truth came out about what Oliver's father did Oliver didn't try and hide it he spoke out to the public about what happened and I liked that because it really shows growth of his character. And just overall this was a really great episode that was really entertaining to watch.
Agents of SHIELD Season 4 Episode 21 "The Return" Review
Coulson and the team's victory in the Framework are short-lived, as an even deadlier enemy looms against them all.
This was a really interesting episode that was entertaining to watch and see how everything played out and see what direction they were going to take the story.I was really interesting with what they did with Aida and her inhuman abilities. I did like how they had her struggling to understand this rush of new emotions she was feeling especially when these new emotions became negative when things she didn't want started to happen to her. I especially liked when the Russian made the comparison to Aida acting like a toddler in her understanding that the world doesn't think like she does and she won't always get what she wants. Then I forgot that the SHIELD headquarters got blown up in the escape to get into the framework, but it was cool to see the team return to this rubble of a base. Then it was interesting that the team was now wanted criminals by the government and Mace's body had been found and the government thinks Quake killed him. The Russian having an almost unlimited amount of bodies is a very interesting idea and I'm very curious to see who is going to eventually find the central brain and destroy it. And just overall this was a really great episode and I'm so excited to see what will happen next especially now that Ghost Rider has returned.

The Flash Season 3 Episode 21 "Cause and Effect" Review
Barry takes desperate measures to stop Savitar, while H.R. keeps pressuring Tracy Brand to set a trap for Savitar and Killer Frost has an interesting proposal.
This was a really great and kind of cute episode that had a lot of really entertaining moments in it. I liked all the different problems the team ran into because Barry lost his memory and everyone has to hand hold him through almost everything, which in almost every other situation that would have been really annoying but somehow they styled this episode so it wasn't annoying. I loved the whole court scene where Barry had to be a witness to a case he couldn't remember and Cisco and Julian had to help him through things. Which if Julian remembered everything why wasn't he the one testifying since he is the senior investigator. I liked seeing this more happy and positive Barry compared to the sadder stressed Barry we have seen in this season it reminded me much of the Barry from the first season. I also found it interesting how because Barry forgot everything so did Savitar that seemed a little weird to me because shouldn't that little bit of difference in time between Barry and Savitar stop that and just have it be a memory of Savitar's that at this point in his life he forgot everything. I did like Killer Frost showing up to help team flash get Barry's memories back that was interesting to see Cisco try and get Catlin's heart beating again by having her remember all the good times she had with Cisco. Then the ending was really great with everything getting fixed and back to normal. And just overall this was a really great episode that was a lot of fun to watch.
Scorpion Season 3 Episode 24 "Maroon 8" Review
The team's plane crash lands on a remote desert island while en route to Toby and Happy's honeymoon, leaving them all with little hope for rescue.
This was a really interesting episode that was really fun to watch but it also seemed to have a feeling like it was really dragging on. All the moments with Walter just rebought up why I don't care for him and Paige to be in a relationship, and for this episode, in particular, it was just way more awkward and overdone. I did really like all the moments around saving the polite and all the crafting they did to make a machine to save his life. It was really fun how they had all these moments of things that Toby was finding out about Happy and it was interesting just how many things Happy has done in her life. Then Sylvester was really interesting in this episode with him having done the calculation on the possibility of them getting off the island and the possibility being almost zero he has just lost all care and fear and is willing to do almost anything. I liked the moment at the end of the episode where the team is waiting to see if they will be saved and each of them come up and repeated the same things to Cabe and Ralph over and over again. And just overall this was a really entertaining episode and with how this episode ended I'm not all that excited to see more of the same but I am curious to see how they will get off the island as long as it is not really stupid.
Gotham Season 3 Episode 17 "The Primal Riddle" Review
The most unhinged villains of Gotham come together as the Riddler continues his conquest; Gordon's search for answers keeps leading him back to the Court of Owls; Alfred notices a change in Bruce while Bruce 2 confides in Selina.
This was a really interesting episode that wasn't the greatest of episodes but I still liked watching and seeing how everything turned out. I really liked having the Riddler going after the Court because they were the answer to a question he couldn't figure out. And it was really great how everything around the Riddler and Gordon sort of came full circle by the end of the episode by giving the Riddler the answers he needed about the Court through Gordon and Gordon getting into the Court by using the Riddler as his proof of loyalty. It was really interesting how they had a bit of a story line about how the Riddler is driving a divide between Barbra and Tabitha. The moments with Penguin and Ivy gathering together a team to take back Gotham was really great with them bringing back Mr.Freeze and Firefly. Especially with how both Mr.Freeze and Firefly reacted to the offer was really nice. Then the moments with the Bruce clone and Selina was great with there how conversation and the clone not wanting to say too much and Selina refusing to believe him that trouble is coming. And the ending for Selina was great with all these cats gathering around her. Then overall this was a really fun and interesting episode to watch.
Supergirl Season 2 Episode 20 "City of Lost Children" Review
National City is attacked by a Phorian, a normally peaceful race with telekinetic abilities.
This was a very interesting and entertaining episode that had a lot of really great moments in it. I liked that a good part of this episode was just dedicated to James finding himself as a hero and just learning that sometimes you can be a hero with the need for a mask and powers. And just all that interaction between James and Marcus was so great with them comparing their lives to one another and learning to really trust each other. I liked that Mon-El's mother being back wasn't a complete surprise to them by having a scene where Mon-El spotted her out with Lena. Then the other problem in National City of all this extra physic activity being connected to the machine Lena is building was very interesting with how they made all those connections. I loved the ending fight scene between Kara, Mon-El, and Rhea, especially the whole conversation of lies between Mon-El and Rhea about why she came back to earth and what happened to Mon-El's father. And just overall this was a really great episode and with how it ended I'm really excited to see where they will go next.

Arrow Season 5 Episode 20 "Underneath" Review
Oliver and Felicity get trapped in the bunker together, while Diggle and Lyla deal with marital issues.
This was a really boring episode that was kind of interesting but just really unnecessary. I would understand this episode if all of this was only part of an episode and then Oliver and Felicity got out and something else happened that took up a majority of the show, but the fact that the whole episode was just dedicated to Oliver and Felicity being stuck was so boring. All the flashback moments were not all that great either where they seemed to be having the same fight as they currently were in the present about Oliver not trusting Felicity but in the flashbacks the made up and shared that they still had feelings for one another. I did like the moments with Curtis and Rene trying to get into the bunker to save Oliver and Felicity and their constant bickering between each other lead to some comments by the rest of the team about how they are going to end up getting married. Then the moments between Diggle and Lyla were great with how they recovered from all the anger that was built up in the last episode by having them come to terms with the fact that their lives aren't normal and one of them might have to do something the other doesn't care for. And just overall this was a really interesting episode but it was also a really bad episode.

Agents of SHIELD Season 4 Episode 20 "Farewell, Cruel World!" Review
The clock is ticking for Daisy and Simmons to get the team out of the Framework, but not everyone is ready and willing to leave.
This was a really great and entertaining episode that had a lot of really great moments to it. I really liked that this episode ending with almost everyone out of the framework because while the episodes inside the framework were great and did a great job with a brand new idea it was getting a little tiresome to see Daisy and Simons wondering around trying to convince everyone of the truth. It was really interesting how they got everyone to the backdoor by sending everyone in a team out on a "mission" but then also having Fitz traveling after them on a mission to kill Simons. And I really love that Radcliff got the chance to save the day and got the chance to do something to attempt to make up for all the mistakes he made. The ending with Aida was a little confusing because she's human now but also has some sort of weird teleportation powers or something that wasn't brought up at all that she was giving herself powers. I did really like the parts in this episode where they finally went back to the agents of the plane that Daisy and Simons are on and those agents just struggling to keep everything going while they are slowly running out of power because the machine the Daisy and Simons are hooked up to is taking up all the power. I really kind of hope that Fitz gets to be the hero in some kind of way to try and make up for all the bad things he did inside of the framework. And just overall this was a really entertaining and interesting episode to watch and I can't wait to see what will happen next.
The Flash Season 3 Episode 20 "I Know Who You Are" Review
Team Flash meets a scientist who may be the key to stopping Savitar, but is forced into a battle with Killer Frost.
This was a really interesting episode that was entertaining to watch and see how everything turned out. I'm just going to come out and say this right now I'm really disappointed with who Savitar is because it was one of my top guesses and I was really kind of hoping it would be someone outside of the main group because why does every problem just have to revolve around something happening to the main six characters that caused them to go bad. I just want a new baddie that is completely outside of being someone we have gotten to know over the season. I really like the character of Tracy and how she was portrayed as a bit of a nervous wreck that has given up on all of her research about the speed force. The relationship between her and HR is kind of fun and I'm interested to see where it might go especially once the truth about who he is comes out because he is still where the cloaking device to hide his identity right. Tracy's plan to trap Savitar is kind of interesting with the idea of it being to use Savitar's own static cling he creates when he runs to trap him. Cisco being scared to hurt his Caitlin is kind of understandable but the suddenness of him feeling like his powers were out of control really came out of nowhere. And Killer Frost wanting to live up to her name and finally, kill someone was kind of interesting. Joe finally telling the truth about all of what he does to Cecil is okay because I like that he is finally happy with someone. And just overall this was a really entertaining and okay episode to watch and I'm curious to see where they are going to go next.

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 19 "Alex" Review
When Alex is kidnapped, Supergirl and Maggie must work together to save her.
This was a really great episode that took a bit of a different path with Supergirl. I really liked all the conflict between Kara and Maggie when it came to the ideas about how justice should be served, whether through force or words. I didn't much care for the ending however with Maggie and Kara switch ideas on saving Alex with Maggie using force and Kara using words. It was really interesting how Alex used her tracker as a beacon so that the DEO could track her down. It was a little weird however because that they never explained why it lead them somewhere else instead of to Alex. Then Alex using all these different tactical skills to stay alive was pretty cool. I like the moments between Lena and Mon-El's mother and them discussing the creation of some kind of portal device. It was really interesting to see Lena's choices when Kara wasn't there to gel her. And it was really interesting how the bad guy in this episode was an old acquaintance of Kara and Alex. And just overall this was a really entertaining and interesting episode to watch.
Gotham Season 3 Episode 16 "These Delicate and Dark Obsessions" Review
Gordon discovers new information about his father and uncle's past just as the Court of Owls devises a new plan for the future of Gotham.
This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that was a little confusing but still interesting to see how everything played out. I liked all the moments with Penguin and Ivy and the growth of Ivy's abilities of persuasion. And it was cool to watch Penguin grow to trust Ivy and I can't wait to see the army of freaks get together. Then Gordon going around learning more of the truth about his father's death was interesting but when the truth came out I still don't understand why Gordon's uncle wanted Gordon to know who actually killed his father. It was really cool how Gordon needed some help to secretly follow the Court of Owls so he sent Barbra to track the weapon for him. Then the ending for Gordon makes me excited to see what he will do next. Then all the moments with Bruce and the Shaman were really great with the Shaman trying to help Bruce become the protector of Gotham. It was really great how they addressed how Bruce never really left the alley where his parents died because that is so true to Batman and how one small thing can bring him back to that night. And just overall this was a really great episode and I'm excited to see where they will go from here.
Scorpion Season 3 Episode 23 "Something Burrowed, Something Blew" Review
The team has to help Happy and Toby to get to the altar for the wedding after a simple job went haywire.
This was a really interesting and fun episode that had a lot of really fun moments in it. I like the team split up with Paige and Toby stay back at the garage to prepare for the wedding and everyone else out on the field dealing with the fire problem. It was very interesting and fun that they brought Ray back to kind of be the replacement for Paige and he is really bad at his job and messing a lot of things up. Then it was interesting with how they took Paige in this episode because she is a lot better off now with her new job giving her a lot of benefits but she is not as happy as she was with Scorpion. And with how this episode ended I’m curious to know if she quit her other job that she was so much better off with. The actual mission with them stopping an underground fire caused by a lightning strike was pretty interesting but it was a little tiresome how many different problems they seemed to run into while stopping this fire. I was cool that their solution to stop the fire was to heat up a chunk of sand that the fire was going to run through enough so that is created a glass was the fire couldn’t get through. The actual wedding scene was really sweet and simple and I liked that Walter and Paige finally truly talked to each other even if I still don’t care for them as a couple. And just overall this was a really entertaining episode and with how this episode ended I excited to see where they will go.
