The Librarians Season 4 Episode 8 "And the Hidden Sanctuary" Review


After Cassandra freezes up during a mission, she decides it's past time to go on a vacation. Searching for her ideal town, she lands on Havenport, the "Safest Town in America." At first blush, it seems just what she needed, but is there always a price to pay for unrealistic peace of mind?

This was a really great and entertaining episode that was probably my favorite episode of the season. I really loved that this whole episode revolved just around Cassandra and she had to figure out how to solve that problem all on her own. It was also really interesting how very few people in the town seemed to notice the odd luck of the town except for Cassandra and the friend she made in the town. It was fun to see town quickly the town went crazy once bad things did start happening. Then I really liked seeing Cassandra as an actual librarian in the town and the passion she had for the job and how she just connected with the one kid because of it. The scene where the whole town is holding a meeting and Cassandra brings up the question of what has changed recently to cause the bad luck was great because the one major thing that changed was her showing up. Then I wished they would have set up the fairy a bit more because the opening scene in the episode felt really kind of random and then they took forever to introduce the fairy as the bad guy but by then things were at apocalypse levels. It was interesting how the town managed to work together to trap the fairy and find a way to help it so it would stop harming them. Then just overall this was a really great and fun episode that I really loved. 

The Flash Season 4 Episode 10 "The Trial of The Flash" Review


Joe and Iris must decide how far they're willing to go to keep Barry out of prison as his trial for the murder of Clifford DeVoe begins.

This was a really entertaining and great episode that had a lot of really interesting moments to it. I liked seeing the team dealing with a villain for the first time without Barry there to be the hero for the most part. Then the bad guy in this episode was interesting because he wasn't actually trying to do anything bad his powers were just out of control and he didn't really understand that he had them. Then everything around the trial was interesting with what everyone was willing to do in order to protect Barry. I really loved the conversation between Barry and Iris where he stopped her from confessing that Barry is the Flash. Then I also loved the conversation between Dibny and Joe where Joe is about to plant some fake evidence to help Barry and Dibny reminds him of all the consequences that come from an act like that. Then it was kind of fun to see how Barry got around the trial to sneak off and stop Fallout before he destroyed the city. Then the ending of this episode was really sweet and interesting where Barry ended up in the same cell as his father. Then just overall this was a really great and interesting episode and I'm very excited to see where they will go from here. 

Scorpion Season 4 Episode 13 "The Bunker Games" Review


Team Scorpion is locked in a doomsday bunker with artificial intelligence bent on killing them.

This was a very interesting and entertaining episode that did a really nice job of doing a lot with a little. It was interesting and kind of annoying to see all the moments with Toby in this episode and his jealousy over his enemy in his enemy's success caused a bunch of problems for the rest of the team. But on the other hand, it was interesting to see a bit more into Toby's past and how Happy reacted to meeting Toby's ex-girlfriend and Happy comparing herself to the ex-girlfriend. Then all the different ways that the teams came up with to trick the AI that was keeping them locked up was really interesting to see. Especially in the moments with Sylvester trying to trick the AI by coming up with a riddle that the AI would have to focus all its power on trying to solve. Then the moments with Cabe and Paige where interesting with them being outside the house and trying to help the team but they're not the smart members of the team so they have to come up with other ways to work around the AI's plans. Then it was interesting to see how Toby's enemy reacted when things start to go south very fast and how the truth eventually came out that Toby is actually living a far happier life than his enemy or his ex-girlfriend is. Then how the team actually managed to escape the house and stop it from causing a whole bunch of other problems was interesting once everything was set in place and worked out. And just overall this was a really interesting and kind of fun episode to watch and see how everything played out.

The Librarians Season 4 Episode 7 "And the Disenchanted Forest" Review


When dissension threatens the group, Baird takes the Librarians to a charismatic self-help guru's team building camp on the edge of a forest where people have been mysteriously disappearing. Is there a monster in the woods? Or is something more sinister going on? And can the Librarians get their team mojo back in time to defeat it?

This was a really entertaining and great episode that was so much fun to watch all the twists and turns leading to the discovery of what is actually going on at the camp. I really liked the small bit of camp competition between The Librarians and DOSA and them fighting against each other but when things start getting really freaky they find a way to work together. The moments with Cassandra were fun with her doing all the different things that are usually apart of camp movies and Ezekiel having to deal with a brunt of her tricks. Then the moments with Stone were interesting with him finding a girl that really interests him and discovering the truth about her and her small ties back to the Library. Then the whole camp counselor was interesting with how they decided to have him operate where he knows that people are disappearing but he doesn't know how and he is trying his best not to look into it. Then the truth about the forest they were in was interesting with it being the first forest but the whole DOSA side of things felt a little weird because they seemed to change their minds really quickly from wanting to destroy the forest to wanting to set up all these protections actions to keep the forest stable and intact. And just overall this was a really fun and interesting episode to watch and see how everything turned out.

Riverdale Season 2 Episode 9 "Chapter Twenty-Two: Silent Night, Deadly Night" Review


Veronica uncovers a major secret about her father; Betty and Archie's vow to take down the Black Hood once and for all leads to a dangerous showdown.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that wasn't the greatest but it did have some really nice moments to it. The moments with Veronica were okay but really weird how the moods of her and her parents just seemed to change constantly from sentence to sentence. I'm very interested to see what the secret her family was hiding that they let her be a part of by the end of the episode. Then the moments with Cheryl were kind of weird with her doing all these different things behind her mother back just to mess with her. Then the moments with Archie and Betty were okay with them finally putting the pieces together of who the black hood is. I really didn't care for the sudden turn that they made on who the Black hood is and why Betty is involved in his fixation it just felt really kind of weird and rushed and like they were giving us a bunch of sudden information without any real explanation. The only really good moments in this episode were the moments with Jughead and him finding a way to get rid of Penny once and for all. All the scenes between him and his father and then when he eventually did confront Penny it was all really great and the best parts of this episode. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and okay episode that wasn't the best one out there.

Legion Season 2 Episode 1 "Chapter 9" Review


Unlikely alliances are formed and the search for the Shadow King begins.

This was a really entertaining and fun episode that continued to do a good job of playing with what is real and what is in David's head. I really liked that they finally showed Division 3 and just how everything there looked and the weird guy who is in charge who you can't see his face it was just all really great. I'm a little confused by the sudden change in Division 3 where last season they seemed like this really secret service group that worked in the shadows but now in this one they are much more public and a much larger group of people. Then everything with David and Syd in this episode was great with them dealing with the fact that they have been separated for a year and everything has changed. Then I really liked the moment where Syd talks about how much David has changed and he reminds her that technically she is the one who has changed and he is still the same as he was the day he disappeared because to her it was a year but to him, it was a few hours. Then I really liked the scene inside David's head where he is talking to a "future" version of Syd and just how that whole scene was done with them talking without really talking and her using a light wand to communicate was all really great. Then the moments with the Shadow King were great with it being these random little pieces slowly being put out there of what Oliver has been up to since he left Summerland. Then the truth being put out there that David might be lying because Ptonomy saw David hanging out with the Shadow King in the year that David says he can't remember. Then the weird illness infecting people that are being spread around by the Shadow King is a really cool side story that I'm really excited to see what they are going to do there. Then just overall this was a really great first episode and I'm really excited to see where they will go next.

The Librarians Season 4 Episode 6 "And the Graves of Time" Review


When Baird goes after Nicole Noone in an attempt to repair her rift with the Library, she ends up joining Nicole in a mission to retrieve a dangerous artifact before it falls into the hands of Russian grave robbers. But can she convince Nicole to forgive the Library and return home with her? Or, will Nicole open Baird's eyes to the dangers of a Guardian dedicating herself, heart and soul, to the Library?

This was a really interesting episode that had a lot of great moments to it and it was fun to watch how the whole story unfolded. I really liked that for the most part, this episode focused on Nicole and Baird, and them working together and forming a relationship. It was interesting to see the moments where Nicole showed Baird what a life of immortality will look like and how hard that can weigh on a person after a while. Then it was fun to see the connection between the artifact they were hunting and how it tied back to Rasputin and Nicole's past together. Then the moments where the team got split off into the different group again was great with Flynn and Nicole being partnered up together and Baird and Jenkins being together and that sort of help to show Baird Nicole's other side. Then when the full truth came out of who these Russian grave robbers are it was fun to see how the team managed to escape and what all they did to keep everyone together. I really don't know how I feel about Nicole still I don't think she is in favor for the Library and the whole conversation she had with Flynn that caused him to leave was really suspicious of if she just wants to leave or if she wants to destroy the Library. Overall this was a really great and fun episode that had a lot of entertaining moments to it.  

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 10 "Legion of Superheroes" Review


Supergirl remains in a dreamlike state after sustaining injuries from Reign, so Mon-El recruits Brainiac-5, a member of the Legion of Superheroes, to bring her back.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that had a lot of great moments to it. I really liked all the moments with Kara being stuck in a mental version of her apartment and she had to work through some mental issues before she was allowed to escape. And the introduction of Brainiac-5 was really great because, in my opinion, he was really well done and funny. Then the moments with the Legion of Superheroes actually getting together to help fight Reign on Supergirl's behave was a little weak and just looked like a mess with how everything went down and all they really did was distract her for a little bit until Supergirl came around to do actual damage. It was really interesting to see how they found a kind of weakness for Reign where she does have a weakness to Kryptonite but only in super high doses. Then the ending of this episode was really interesting with Reign being informed about the other world killers and is now on the quest to go and find them. Then just overall this was a really interesting episode that had some nice moments to it.

The Librarians Season 4 Episode 5 "And the Bleeding Crown" Review


A Librarian from the past teams up with the Librarians of the present to take down an ancient and powerful enemy let loose in the modern day. When superfan Flynn is met with the prospect of teaming with his Librarian hero Darrington Dare, he could not be more excited, until Darrington leaves the Librarians with this dire warning: There can be only one Librarian - ignore at your own peril.

This was a really fun and interesting episode that had a lot of really great moments to it and it feels really kind of weird that this seems like the first major episode for the underlining plot of the season and it took this long for them to get to it. I really loved the introduction of a past Librarian in Darrington Dare and just getting to see the contrast and similarities between how he and the other Librarians operated. Then the whole episode revolving around Darrington and his mortal enemy that can time travel and create really bad clones of himself is a little weird of a plot line but it still was fun. And the side effects of turning the town's residents old was an interesting addition but it felt weird and kind of pointless in the grander scheme of things. Then Darrington bringing up how prophecy has stated that there can only be one Librarian is an interesting understory for the season and I'm very curious to see where that will take the characters. Then the whole decision Flynn had to make between being there for his friends or his hero was interesting to watch him jump back and forth before actually making a real plan. Then just overall this was a really interesting and okay episode that had some parts that I liked and some parts that I really didn't care for much.
