The Flash Season 4 Episode 13 "True Colors" Review


Amunet makes a deal to buy all of the metahumans in Iron Heights, so Barry must decide if he should expose his powers to save his cellmates.

This was a really great and entertaining episode that was so much fun to watch and see how everything worked out. I really loved all the villains that they brought back from previous episodes in this season to play a part in helping Barry escape before Amunet gets her hands on him. It was also really nice how each person brought something to the team to help them all to escape and keep them working together. It was a little weird and confusing how everyone figured out that Barry is a speedster but they couldn't put together the pieces that maybe he is the Flash. Then the ending where DeVoe shows up to take all the metahumans was interesting with DeVoe turning everyone against Barry by telling them the truth about who Barry is and then he goes and steals all the others powers and kills them. Then the moments with Ralph in this episode were great with him discovering these new abilities he has which is the ability to mold himself into other people which he uses to go and talk to Amunet and find a way to finally free Barry. Which everything around Ralph in this episode was really great with him lacking in confidence and that is causing his powers to become weaker and the rest of Team Flash finding ways to help boost Ralph up. Then with how this episode ended, I'm very curious to see what other plans DeVoe has and how that might affect the other metahumans as well as Ralph. Then just overall this was a really great and exciting episode that was a lot of fun to watch.

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 13 "Both Sides Now" Review


The DEO captures another Worldkiller, who escapes and attacks the city's subway tunnels.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that had a lot of really great moments in it. I liked what they did with the character of Julia and how they introduced to the DEO the idea that these world killers have no idea that they are world killers. The moments between Alex and Supergirl were interesting with Alex just wanting to put Purity down while Supergirl wants to try and reach Julia that is trapped inside of Purity. But the one weak point in that whole conflict between Alex and Supergirl was how easily Alex gave in to Supergirls plan after seeing a small splinter of Julia inside of Purity that could have easily been a trick. Then everything with Samantha was great in this episode with her accepting that she is sick with something that is causing her to black out, and she decided to make up for lost time by spending the day with Ruby but Regin has other plans. The ending conversation between Samantha and Lena was really great with it final causing enough rage in Samantha that Regin comes out to play for a few seconds, so with that, I'm very curious to see what Lena will do next. Then the ending fight scene at the subway tunnel seemed really confusing and just overdramatic for what was actually going on. And all of it just kind of turned into a mess that seemed unimportant beside just giving Purity a good opportunity to escape with Regin. Then just overall this was a fun episode that had some interesting moments to it.

The Librarians Season 4 Episode 11 "And the Trial of the One" Review


As tensions between the Librarians escalate over which of them is the most deserving to participate in the tethering ceremony with Baird, the Library steps in and turns each of the Librarians into their most primal selves, and are sent to survive a terrifying alternate reality to determine who is the most worthy.

This was a really great and entertaining episode that in my opinion with a few changes it could have made a great season finale. I really liked the idea of this group of trials that are created to pick the best Librarian, but I wished they would have been explained a bit more because some parts kind of seemed really weird. Like the fact that it was explained at the beginning of the trials that it is just about the Librarians and Baird can't get involved but all she ended up doing was getting involved. Then the beginning part of the trials was great with each of the Librarians forced to live through there greatest fears with Casandra's being forced to relive a time she was bullied, Jakup's was his fear of magic playing out, and Ezekiel's was finally being caught and sent to prison. Mixed in with these fears they had the other Librarians playing a role in there torture so they learned to hate each other which was a really clever idea to get them willing to fight each other to the death. Then Baird part in all this was weird like I said where at first it seemed like she was separated off to watch everything that was happening to the Librarians but then there was a turn where it turned out she was a part of the trial as well. The ending was interesting with the Librarians refusing to fight each other which cost Jenkins his life and I was really surprised they were willing to take things that far as to kill him off. Then the ending of the whole episode was interesting with the return of Nicole and her using her knowledge to destroy the Libray and turn the world into an alternate reality where the Library never existed. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and interesting episode that had some great moments to it.

Legion Season 2 Episode 3 "Chapter 11" Review


After being in the tank to talk to Farouk, David realizes something has changed in Division 3.

This was a really great and interesting episode that had so many amazing moments to it. I did really enjoy the whole scene with Farouk and David talking to each other and trying to plan out how best to find Farouk's body and what his plans are to do with it. In those scenes, it was also great with Lenny and her trying to convince David to help her find a way to escape from Farouk's mind and well David and Farouk are talking she is doing all these different things to try and kill herself but none of them are working. Then everything at Division 3 with the Monk was interesting with the Monk's power is being able to trap people inside there perfect world's essentially but for some reason, it doesn't work on children so he uses some other abilities to sort of control them. Then each of the different world's David had to go through to free his friends was interesting with Ptonomy's world being his wish to forget and Melanie's world being her wish to control everything and how David managed to free both of them was just so amazing with him finding ways to get around their wishes essentially. Then the whole backstory of what actually happened to the monks and where they put the Shadow Kings body was so amazing with just how the whole storyline played out and it slowly revealing what this one monk did to the rest of his group. Then it was interesting with Cary and Kerry and them finding a way to free each other because one of them trapped inside their mind while the other isn't. And the ending makes me very curious to see what is going on in Syd's mind because of what the preview showed it looks like the next episodes could be a lot about Syd's past which I'm really excited to see. So overall this was a really amazing and entertaining episode to watch and I'm really excited to see what the next episode will bring.

The Flash Season 4 Episode 12 "Honey, I Shrunk Team Flash" Review


The team battles a meta who can shrink anything he touches; Cecile's pregnancy gives her temporary powers.

This was an interesting and really great episode that continues to do a good job of showing how the team operates without Barry being there. Everything around Dibny and the rest of the team finding a way to stop this metahuman that can shrink and grow things was interesting to see just how his powers operated and how they chose to approach him. I wish they would have expanded more on the growing side of things and didn't save that till the very end because it seemed a little confusing how prior to this he was just sort of kept to shrinking things and keeping them as models but then at the end fight he also start to grow things which yes makes sense but still it felt weird that he suddenly had this extra little bit of power. Then everything with Cecile getting powers because of her pregnancy was interesting with how that sort of putting a wall between her and Joe's relationship because of the fact that he no longer was able to keep anything from her. Which in Cecile's mind seem like the best thing ever but Joe pointed out that there are some things that are better off being lies and secrets. Then everything with Barry and his new friend in prison was great with them working to find a way to free his new friend because of the fact that he's innocent. I really like how it did eventually around back to the main villain in this episode is the one who actually committed the crime that Barry's new friend was accused of. Then the ending of this episode was really great with the fact that even though Barry's friend wasn't able to be freed Barry found a way to free him anyway. But it did end up leaving Barry in a very precarious spot because now some cameras caught him using his super speed. Then just overall this was a really great and fun episode that had a lot of really great moments to it.

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 12 "For Good" Review


Morgan Edge accuses Lena of plotting an attempt on his life and Kara steps in to help her.

This was a really great episode that was a little confusing and hard to understand but still, it was so entertaining a watch and see how everything played out. The whole opening scene with Morgan Edge getting into an accident after having a conversation with Lena was interesting with how it all played out and I just have a hard time understanding Morgan's logic on how it could possibly be Lena's fault. Then the slow realization of the truth of what is actually going on was interesting with it is that everything was actually planned by Morgan to find a way to discredit Lena. I really love watching as more events kept happening we got to see a more darker Lena. I still have a hard time believing that Lena doesn't know that Kara is Supergirl and that was the most troubling part of this episode when Kara would have to switch into Supergirl and Lena wouldn't notice those moments were the moments that made Lena seem really kind of dumb. Then the sort of dramatic scenes on the airplane were interesting with Morgan attempting to poison the city's water as well as kill Lena and that didn't make much sense to me with how was all planned out because the fact that if everything would've worked out how would they explain Lena's body being in the back of the plane when she was supposed to be the one flying it. It was interesting to see Supergirl saved the day by catching both ends of the plane that split half and then eventually find a way to save Lena as well as stop the poison from hitting the water. Then the moment of realization that it was actually Lena's mother that came back into the mix to protect Lena in some weird way was a little confusing with the backward logic that Lillian had. But it did add up to a really cool confession scene for Morgan and a nice fight scene for Supergirl and Mon-El. Then just overall this was a really great and entertaining episode that had some confusing moments to it but it was still a nice watch.

Code Black Season 3 Episode 3 "La Familia" Review


Jesse is in denial when his brother arrives at Angels Memorial in bad shape after being pinned in a warehouse collapse and further tests reveal he has advanced congestive heart failure. Also, Willis opens up to Rox about his brother who was killed in Afghanistan.

This was a really interesting and great episode that had a lot of really entertaining moments to it. I did really enjoy the moments between Willis and Rox and through their conversations, we finally get to learn a bit more about Willis's past mostly about his brother. Then everything with Jesse in this episode was interesting and really great with them finally introducing more of Jesse's family and seeing how that whole family dynamic works. Everything around Jesse and his brother was interesting with Jesse choosing to ignore the diagnosis that his brother is given because of the fact that he doesn't want to believe that his brother is dying and because of that he refuses to tell his brother and the rest of his family until it's almost too late. Then the whole dynamic around Jesse's and his nieces and his brother having a new girlfriend that he's been keeping secret was interesting with how they chose to approach the whole thing. Then the ending was really bittersweet with the whole entire family including the new girlfriend finally getting together to sort of worship Jesse's brother one last time. Then everything around Leanne and Ariel was interesting with them finally having the conversation on the fact that they are a family and that nothing is going to break that. Then the moments between Noa and Diego were interesting and I'm very curious to see what's all going to happen in their relationship going forward especially with Mario also being involved. Then the moments with Angus was interesting with him taking more of the pressure of being a sergeant and learning to accept a lot of the pressure and instructions given by Campbell. Then just overall this was a really great and entertaining episode I'm really interested to see what will happen next.

Code Black Season 3 Episode 2 "Better Angels" Review


A patient who is a self-proclaimed psychic envisions the staff singing and dancing. Willis and Rox put their lives in danger to rescue a congressman and his staffer from a multi-car accident.

This was a really weird but okay episode that had a lot of really great moments to it. I was not a big fan of the random musical numbers and dance numbers throughout this episode because yes it was fun but it just was extremely random and unnecessary whenever it showed up and I feel like they could have done something different to show this woman's visions besides the random musical numbers. I did like the moments with Willis and Rox and the moments around the congressman and his receptionist and the slow truth coming out about what's going on between them and what happened during the car crash. It was also just really great how Leanne and Willis were on the receptionist side and help make sure to get the best care she could under all the pressure that she was under because of the congressman. Then the moments with Mario and Angus and the woman who could possibly predict the future we're fun but I wish there would have been a bit more of them especially moments between Mario and Angus and their belief or disbelief of psychics. Then the moments with Noa and the one patient was interesting with her having this strong belief and fascination with him and her just really showing him that even with his injuries his career might be over but not his story or something like that she kept cheering him on throughout the episode. Then just overall this was a really interesting episode that did have some really fun moments to it.

The Librarians Season 4 Episode 10 "And Some Dude Named Jeff" Review

When Jenkins body-switches with a 28-year-old slacker named Jeff, he must find his way back into the Library to correct the mistake. But he will need a team to do it, and enlists the help of Jeff's hapless Dungeons and Dragons friends. Can they make it in time, before Jeff destroys the Library?

This was a really interesting and great episode that had so many fun and funny moments do it. I really enjoyed that this episode did focus on Jenkins and him somewhat of discovering what it's like to be mortal. Everything around that was really fun with him unwillingly taking over the life of Jeff and having to deal with the mundane parts of life. Each of Jeff's friends was really fun with how they played into the grander scheme of getting back into the library. With that, the whole backdoor Quest that they all had to go through to get Jenkins back in the library and back into his own body was really fun with all the different dynamics of it. Then everything around the Jeff inside of Jenkins body was interesting with how the librarians slowly managed to figure out that it's not actually Jenkins. I do wish they would have spent a bit more time on the librarians and Jeff but still, it was fun to see everything around that. Then everything around them saving the library from this monster that Jeff brought in and eventually switching the bodies back between Jeff and Jenkins was interesting but again I wish they would have spent a bit more time on the ending it just felt like a really rushed ending. And then just overall this was a really fun and great episode to watch.

Code Black Season 3 Episode 1 "Third Year" Review


A drug bust-turned-shootout tests the bravery of all doctors as they race to save a girl in the crossfire. Willis shifts his career focus to field medicine. Leanne faces the new but tragically familiar challenges that parenting presents.

This was a fairly okay and great first episode that had a lot of really great moments to it. I really don't know how I feel about the new first years because they are so drastic and over-the-top and just don't seem to fit in with everything that's going on. Now when it comes to Pepper I might grow to like her more once I get to know her more because the fact that she didn't get the best of light in this episode. But then Diego was just really kind of annoying and didn't seem to take his job all that seriously so unless something drastic happens to change his way of thinking I don't know if I'll care much for him. Then everything around Dr. Willis was interesting with him working in the field and making some very drastic decisions that put a lot of people's lives in danger but in the end, also saved a bunch of lives. Everything around the little girl, her father, and uncle was interesting with the connections back to Dr. Willis which makes me curious of which person Willis was whether he was a drug addict or the brother who gave up on the drug addict so I'm very curious and hopeful that they'll go more into detail with that in the future. Then everything around Mario and Noa was interesting with them working on trying to find a way to split up their lives as a couple and work colleagues and then coming into problems with that when they don't agree on a diagnosis for a patient. Then everything with Elliot was interesting with him being the one that right away ended up being in charge of some of the first years and him learning that he is their teacher and that he needs to be the one to watch over everything that they do when they are under his wing. Then everything with Angus was interesting and I'm really excited for him taking on the new role as possibly becoming a sergeant because I like the idea of them separating off the group more because otherwise that's a lot of people in one ER so separating him off with Campbell I think is a very smart move if they do do it right and I hope and believe that they will. Then just overall this was a really exciting and fun episode and I'm really curious to see where they'll go next.

Legion Season 2 Episode 2 "Chapter 10" Review


David meets his oldest enemy.

This was a really great and entertaining episode that had so many great moments to it. I really loved the whole plot around David trying to use his connection to the Shadow King to track down the Shadows Kings movements and figure out what he's up to without revealing that he's working with the Shadow King to the rest of Division 3. It was a little confusing on the part with Syd and how they find this old music box that connects back to her and she somehow blames David for it. Then I really really loved finally being introduced to the real Shadow King and him and David fighting off in a battle of the minds to just show off how powerful David actually is. Then the storyline around Cary and Kerry was really interesting with the Shadow King messing with their abilities so now the male Cary goes inside the female Kerry and them sort of having to learn how to deal with that and find a way to fix it. Then the whole storyline around David working to find a way to get back to the future said to ask her more questions was interesting and fun with the female Kerry having to take over for the male Cary on the science side of things and their little bickering and stuff like that. But then once they actually did get David to the future it was interesting to see his whole conversation with the future Syd and learning what happens in the future if the Shadow King were to die. And with that, I'm really curious to see what parts of this potential future might actually play out with this newer bigger threat that's supposed to come and wipe out a lot of the population and I want to know just where the Shadow King plays and all that. Then I also want to know just how far in the future this actually is because they continue to do a really good job of hiding Syd's face a bit so you could see just how old she is. Then the ending was really great with David working around this loophole of telling the current Syd about the future Syd and everything around the future Syd wanting David to help the Shadow King and him working around not telling anyone because of the fact that Syd is the one who told him not to tell anyone. And just overall this was a really interesting and great episode and I'm really excited to see what they're going to do next with the Monk that is inside Division 3.

The Librarians Season 4 Episode 9 "And a Town Called Feud" Review


When a Civil War reenactment in a town called Feud is plagued by ghosts, the Librarians have to uncover the truth of what really happened there over 100 years ago.

This was a really entertaining and fun episode that had some really great moments to it. I did really like the whole mystery around what was the artifact and the idea around people changing history to fit a narrative. And that was so great to see the Librarians slowly figure out that everything they were being told about the town and the Feud brothers was not actually true and that the lady in charge of the museum made it up to attract more people to the town. And it was interesting how each of the ghosts that the Librarian saw played into them figuring out what was going on with them either seeing the Feud brothers or their other family members. Then I really love the ending with the two brothers taking over the bodies of Jacob and Ezekiel and reenacting the last battle with several of the other members of the Town also being possessed. And through that reenactment, it's finally showed everyone what actually happened on the battlefield and that was just really great to sort of also get rid of the tension growing between Ezekiel and Jakob on who should be the Librarian. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and great episode that had a lot of really great moments to it in a really nice storyline.

Riverdale Season 2 Episode 10 "Chapter Twenty-Three: The Blackboard Jungle" Review


Tensions mount when Jughead and his fellow students from Southside High transfer to Riverdale High; Betty sets out to find her long-lost brother.

This was a really interesting and okay episode that was a little weird and how everything went down but it was still entertaining to watch it all. Everything around the Southsiders transferring to Riverdale seemed so over-the-top and overdramatic with how everyone reacted to it especially the Riverdale people like Cheryl and Reggie. Because the Southsiders were rather calm about it and they did make some great points about how they're willing to put up with anything for the fact that they're finally at a better school. And I just felt really bad for the Southsiders with everything they had to go through because of Cheryl, Reggie, and the principal not being on their side. Then Jughead was just really confusing with his drastic changes in opinions and moods in this episode where he seemed so dedicated to the cause of the serpent, that he was willing to do anything for them but then at other times he seems so cold and not and all over the top so it was just really confusing to know what was going on his head. I did however like the ending with him setting up a club so that the Serpent's could still be together and be themselves in some way or another. Then everything around Veronica was not all that important but still interesting with her working with her father and doing everything she can to not cause a commotion between the Riverdale High students in the Southsiders. Then Betty in this episode was interesting with her and Alice going through all this work to finally meet the long-lost brother. And their reactions to the first encounter and everything around that just seemed so over dramatic. Then the ending of how Chic actually ended up staying with the Coopers just seems so odd and out of place that Betty would show up right as Chic was getting mugged and she would drag his bleeding body all the way back to her own house didn't make much sense. But all did add up to make a really great ending with Chic standing over Betty's sleeping body making me wonder what his real intentions are. Then everything was Archie was just really confusing and hard to explain with him working with this like FBI agent to look in the Hiram and a lot of it just didn't make that much sense with all the promises that the FBI agent was making with Archie. And just overall this was a really interesting and okay episode that did have some really entertaining moments to it.

The Flash Season 4 Episode 11 "The Elongated Knight Rises" Review


A familiar villain returns to terrorize Central City; Ralph must rise up to defend the innocent while Barry is detained by his trial; Barry searches for the strength to keep his optimism alive in the face of his new circumstances.

This was a really great and entertaining episode that did a good job of expanding on the idea of what the team would do without Barry there to lead. I really love the whole thing about this episode with Ralph learning how to be his own hero and using his own skills and abilities to stop the Trickster. It was really sweet to see the little scene between Ralph and Barry where Ralph breaks into the prison looking to break Barry out instead Barry just gives him advice on how to be his own hero. Then everything around the Trickster and him getting together with his mother Prank was really interesting to see how their storyline went and how far they each were willing to go to do what they enjoyed. I was a little confused on how they manage to find this acidic substance that would cause Ralph's powers not work as well and really hurt him. Then it was fun when Ralph sort of dodge out for a bit and Vibe and Killer Frost were there to step up and be the heroes even though it didn't fully work out for the two of them. Then it was just really great to see Ralph finally suit up and in a real superhero costume. The moments with Barry in this episode or not the highlights but they were still interesting to see him adjusting to life in prison and everything that comes with that. Then the connection between Berry and one of the guys in prison was interesting with it being revealed that Berry's father helped him way back when. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode that was a really great watch.

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 11 "Fort Rozz" Review


Supergirl and Saturn Girl recruit Livewire and Psi for a mission to recover a prisoner from Fort Rozz who knows how to defeat Reign.

This was a really entertaining and fun episode that did a great job of having a good solid story outside of the normal comfort zone for Supergirl. I really liked the idea of bringing back some of the villains to play heroes it was really interesting to watch both Psi and Livewires storylines as the episode went on. But that being said it was a little disappointing how they brought this whole powerful group to Fort Rozz and end up benching half so that it was mostly just about Supergirl and Livewire because Psi couldn't control her powers and it was affecting Saturn Girl. But even then it was more disappointing because Supergirl was such a dead weight for the team because she had no powers and everyone was constantly having to save her that the storyline might have gone better if they would have just sent up the Legion instead. The information that was eventually given to Supergirl about World Killers was really great because it set things up in a way that different World Killers could pop up at any time even after this season. Then the whole fight against Reign was interesting especially with it proves that there is a way to almost switch Samatha back on if given the right motive. Then it was fun to watch the interactions between Winn and Brainiac-5 as they were trying to one-up each other. Then just overall this was a fun but okay episode to watch and see how everything turned out.
