Riverdale Season 2 Episode 12 "Chapter Twenty-Five: The Wicked and the Divine" Review
An act of vandalism stirs up suspicion; Archie's new job as Hiram's intern has Veronica worried he'll learn about the Lodge family secrets.
This was a very interesting and okay episode that did have some great moments in it but it was very few and far between. Everything between Archie and Hiram was interesting especially around the poker game and Archie finally putting all the pieces together on who Hiram actually is. Everything with Jughead was great with the return of Penny and the final moments of Tall Boy where he finally tells the serpents how he truly feels about the direction the serpents are going in. Then everything with Betty's family was just a mess but it is nice to see Hal out of the picture again even for the short time. But overall there wasn't a lot to this episode it was just a lot of moments that were really drawn out to unreasonable lengths which just brought this episode to be okay.
Code Black Season 3 Episode 5 "Cabin Pressure" Review
Over the radio, Leanne and Jesse talk a young girl through how to use the supplies on board a small plane to build a makeshift defibrillator when her mom, the pilot, loses consciousness. Also, Rox and Willis are taken hostage at gunpoint while on their way to meet the plane at the landing site. Julitta Scheel, Marcia Gay Harden’s daughter, stars as Ruby Harris, the young girl on the plane.
This was a really amazing and interesting episode that had a lot of great moments to it. Everything around that girl in the plane with her mother was just amazing with the doctor having to teach the girl everything she needed to do in order to save her mother and get both of them to the ground safely. Especially when it came to the doctor have to create a defibrillator out of the thing that the girl had on the plane with her. Then everything with Willis and Rox was interesting with them being held hostage by a man whose girlfriend got shot in a robbery gone wrong. It was especially great with how Diego got dragged into the situation and was the one to help Willis and Rox to get out of it. Everything with Campbell and Angus was interesting with one of there patients refusing to let Campbell touch him and Angus having to deal with that. Then just overall this was a really interesting and entertaining episode to watch and see how everything played out.
Supergirl Season 3 Episode 16 "Of Two Minds" Review
Supergirl and Imra have different ideas on how to stop the third Worldkiller, Pestilence. However, when both Alex and Winn are seriously injured by Pestilence, Supergirl and Imra team up to stop the destruction.
This was a really great and amazing episode that had so many entertaining moments to it. I really loved how they did Pestilence in this episode and the journey to find her. It was really interesting how they decided to change the lore around Pestilence where it was previously thought that the people who get sick and die just need to be exposed to Pestilence and then to other sick people but in this episode the team discovered that the only way to get sick is if you come in direct contact with Pestilence. Then it was really interesting to see the team try and narrow down who Pestilence might be by looking at the small group of people first exposed and in that they do find her but not directly as they first thought. Then Pestilence's whole goal in this episode was interesting with her targeting the rich who refuse to freely help the sick and needy. Everything around Sam and Lena was great with Lena trying to get Sam to confront Reign and Lena discovering that when Reign come out Sam goes to a parallel universe. The ending of this episode was amazing with Supergirl finally discovering who Reign is and all three of the Worldkillers are brought together. Then moments between Imra and Supergirl were interesting with how they handled working together but having to different goals in mind just to discover as a whole they were fighting for the same goal which was to save their sisters. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next.

Legion Season 2 Episode 6 "Chapter 14" Review
What could have been...
This was a really great and fun episode that is a little disappointing because it was definitely a filler episode that had nothing to do with the main plot of the season but it still was a really amazing stand-alone episode. It was such an interesting episode because the way I interpreted the episode it was all focused on David's broken mind coming up with ways to cope with the loss of his sister and in that he created multiple realities to see different ways his and his sister's lives could have gone. I really don't know how to describe this episode as a whole so I'm going to break it down between the five different lives of David that we are introduced to. The first one is a life where David somehow becomes the richest man in the world and because he is so focused on work he has little of a relationship with his sister and this was an interesting life to see because it showed a bit of an evil side to David that I hope gets explored a bit more. Then there is a version of David where he is completely taken over by his illness and is homeless because of it and this was a great life to see just how out of control David's powers could be. Then there is the life where David is taken over by the drugs to stop his illness and in that life, he is more like a sleepy robot but it is also the life where he has the closest relationship to his sister. The life that I wish they would have gone more into detail with was the version of David where he is at a dinner talking about multiple realities and he really seems like a version of David where his own self-medication from illegal drugs have taken over his life. I wish they would have gone into more detail with this version to show more of what his life is like and what his relationship with his sister is like but still, it is kind of understandable why we got very little of this version because he kind of served as a narrator for the whole episode. Finally, there was the David we already know and have been following from the beginning but this episode gave more detail of Davids relationship with his sister and some events all leading up to him going to Clockworks which was so interesting to see. Then it was really interesting with how each of the version of David dying at some point in the episode except for the David we know so I'm wondering how much is that foreshadowing that for everyone to live in peace David has to die. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and amazing episode to watch and I can't wait to see what the next episode will bring.
Code Black Season 3 Episode 4 "The Same as Air" Review
Willis and Rox arrive at the scene of a road rage accident. Elliot doubts his ability as a doctor when he's sued for his role in the death of a SWAT officer. Leanne discovers Ariel on an ice cream date with a young patient at the hospital.
This was a really great episode that had so many entertaining moments to it and it was so interesting to watch. Everything around the car accident was really interesting with the to main people in the accident going back and forth about whose fault it is and there is a slow reveal about what is actually going on. The moments between Willis and the oldest daughter in one of the cars was great with him slowly breaking down her walls and getting to the truth that she has been protecting her family from her stepfather's rage for a long time. Then the ending for this family in the car accident was so great with the oldest daughter finally standing up and saying that the stepfather is not allowed back in there house and when the mother sees the full extent of the stepfather's rage she steps back from defending him and protects her daughters. Then the other victim in the car accident who didn't make it was really sad with the moments between Jesse and the victim's wife, but it did end on a bit of a happy note with the wife discovering that she's pregnant. Everything around Elliot was interesting with him dealing with the stress of being sued and it's not the greatest of situations because Diego is doing very little to try and help him. The moments with Campbell were great with his ex-wife showing up and wanting to be a part of there daughters life again and in that, you really get to see every side of Campbell. Everything with Noa, Mario, and the drug-addicted patient was so amazing with how it brought back the same patient from the first season that Mario treated and how Mario helping this guy caused him to spiral back into his addiction. The ending moments between Mario and this patient was also amazing with bringing up the idea that if someone has an addiction and you know them it is seen as an illness but if it is someone and you don't know them it is seen as a problem that they need to get over, then Mario and this guy deciding to work together to help keep each other sober was such a touching and sweet moment. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait to see what the next episode will bring.

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 15 "In Search of Lost Time" Review
Supergirl must work with J'onn to contain the chaos resulting from Myr'nn's psychic disturbances at the DEO; Mon-El teaches Kara fighting techniques he learned in the future for battling Worldkillers.
This was a really great and entertaining episode that had so many amazing moments to it. I really enjoyed the theme around this episode when it came to J'onn and Myr'nn which was the passing of the torch and how there is a moment in every life where the son has to step up and become the father. It was great how Myr'nn's anger and stress around his illness caused his illness to make everyone else around him lash out in anger at each other. So everything with Winn was really great with seeing him freak out at people around him. Then everything between Kara and Mon-El was really great with Kara finally getting all her anger towards Mon-El out but the only part that really confused me was how everything that she hated him for happened before they started dating so how could he be a horrible boyfriend because of them. The ending for this episode was really great with Kara and J'onn working together to convince Myr'nn to step down and let J'onn help him. the moments between Lenna and Samantha in this episode were also great with Lenna finally angering Sam enough to bring Reign out and show Sam the truth of who she is. Then just overall this was a really interesting and great episode to watch.
Legion Season 2 Episode 5 "Chapter 13" Review
An uneasy reunion leads to a shocking truth.
This was a really great and amazing episode that told such a great story and had so many fantastic moments. I really enjoyed the return of Lenny and everyone at Division 3 trying to figure out why she is there and if she is still working for the Shadow King. It was really interesting how they chose to show Lenny in this episode where she is a very broken person trying to put the pieces of her life back together again. Along with that, they kept bringing up how Lenny's eyes changed from brown to blue so clearly, the Shadow King gave her someone else's body. Which kept me thinking throughout the whole episode who have we encountered with blue eyes because I knew it had to be someone we've already met and not just some random person. Then I figured out who Lenny is a few seconds before they gave the first major hint which was in the scene where David finally confronts Lenny. Then everything around Oliver and the Shadow King was really interesting in this episode with them being on this mission that is a secret until near the end and Oliver sort of tells the Shadow King how he plans of escaping. Then the ending of this episode was so amazing and so sad with the character that was killed off so that Lenny could live. Then just overall this was a really amazing episode that had so many good moments to it and I can't wait to see what the next episode will bring.

The Flash Season 4 Episode 14 "Subject 9" Review
Barry meets a powerful woman whose abilities could help him in his battle with De Voe. Meanwhile, after learning that De Voe is targeting everyone who was on the bus, Ralph decides he doesn't want to be a hero anymore, his only concern is staying alive. Harry offers to help Cecile, with her "problem", with Joe.
This was a really interesting and great episode that had a lot of really fun moments to it. I really enjoyed the concept in this episode of Barry trying to race against the clock to save the next person on De Voe's list before De Voe can get to them. Then this newer Metahuman's powers were really cool with her almost being like a banshee but she can also use other sound modes besides her voice to create the same effect which leads to a really cool creation of a violin that she could use as a sound weapon against De Voe. I don't really know how I feel about the whole relationship between Ralph and this new girl it just felt really kind of rushed and weird but it was nice to see a different side of Ralph and see him step up to be a guide for someone else. Everything around Cecile and Harry in this episode was really great with them working together to help each other out and Cecile learning that Harry is looking to make more friends with people. All of there scenes also lead to a really cool moment of Harry creating a device that was mention last season by the evil future Barry that they used to stop De Voe's powers. Then just overall this was a really great episode that was so entertaining to watch and I very curious to see where they will go next.
Supergirl Season 3 Episode 14 "Schott Through the Heart" Review
Following the death of his father, Winn must work with his estranged mother to stop a copycat Toyman.
This was a really great episode that was a little confusing to follow because some parts felt really random but still it was so much fun to watch. I'm a little sad that they decided to kill off the Toyman because I was really hoping that he would come back and try and be in Winn's life again and Winn has to deal with that now that he is at the DEO. Even though that didn't happen I'm really happy with what they did show by them introducing Winn's mother and showing the complex relationship they have because of Winn's father. I was really hoping that with how they were setting things up that they would have Winn's mother also be evil and crazy like the Toyman and that she was behind everything and for the most part they really set it up like she was going to be the villain by saying how she knows how each of the Toyman inventions work and how she'll do anything to make up for lost time and then Winn's mother turned out to not be all that important which was a little sad. Then the actual copycat was a little confusing because of she just kind of popped up at the end of the episode and we didn't really get much of a motive behind what she was doing or why she was just so random and made very little sense to me as to why she was there. I did really like the ending fight scenes with Mon-El and Supergirl teaming up to stop some of the copycat's killer inventions. Then overall this was a really great episode that had a lot of really entertaining moments to it.
The Librarians Season 4 Episode 12 "And the Echoes of Memory" Review
After the world is morphed into a horrible and unrecognizable place - one where the Library never existed - it’s up to Baird to bring the Librarians together before this bleak, knowledge-less world becomes the new reality.
This was a really good episode and it was fun to watch but it didn’t make the greatest of season finales and the ending just left me really angry. It was interesting to see how they decided to perceive a world where the Library never existed and they made everything really dull and boring because of it. I really liked the storyline around Baird having to go and find all the Librarians and try and prove to them that the memories they all have about the Library are true and they need to work together to bring it back. Everything with Flynn was interesting with it coming out that Flynn didn’t actually leave the Library he was kidnapped by Nicole and kept hidden away all this time. The thing that really annoyed me is how this episode ended with everything being fixed and going back to the first episode before the problems involving the cornerstones. So basically setting it up so that nothing in this season mattered or even happened which makes me really angry because there were so many good moments and great character growth that now didn’t happen and I don’t understand why they had to do that. But still, overall this was a really nice ending that had some great moments to it and I’m sad this series didn’t get picked up for another season.

Riverdale Season 2 Episode 11 "Chapter Twenty-Four: The Wrestler" Review
Archie joins the wrestling team to get closer to Hiram; Jughead digs up shocking details about Riverdale's past; Betty unearths some dark secrets about Chic.
This was a really interesting and weird episode that seemed way too weird and there was so much unimportant stuff going on that made very little next to no sense as to why it needed to be in this episode. Everything around Archie joining the wrestling team in order to win over Hiram was alright because it was cheesy and fully in the mode of the storyline used over and over again about the boyfriend trying to win over the girlfriends father. The only parts that didn't make much sense to me were near the end when Hiram's opinion of Archie just seemed to quickly change once Hiram discovered what Archie did to Nick. The Veronica's whole part in this made no sense because I couldn't understand by the way she was acting if she wanted her father to know that Archie is doing all this for him or not. Betty and Chic were alright because it was mostly about them learning more about each other and Betty's father, not approving of Chic being there. The only part that seemed really confusing was how overdramatic they acted about finding out that Chic is actually a camboy and it was put out there as being this big dark and evil thing. I wish they would have done more with Cheryl because in this episode she discovered this big secret about her family and how they got their land and it was brushed off so lightly with only one small moment of her being upset and then the next moment she was back to normal like it was nothing. The moment with Jughead were just way to overdone with him doing a report and finding out that the Blossom family hired a group of people to murder and kick out all the native people of the land and he decided to go all out with this news letting everyone know about it multiple ways and didn't really seem to care about anyone's feelings. Then just overall this was a really entertaining episode that was interesting to watch and see how everything turned out.
Legion Season 2 Episode 4 "Chapter 12" Review
David is tested. And tested. And tested.
This was a really interesting and great episode that did an amazing job of establishing some of Syd's backstory and also showing the relationship between David and Syd. It was really interesting to see the replay over and over again of Syd's history growing up and how she adjusted to life with her powers and how she struggled to form relationships because of it as well as how her powers affected her mother's relationship to other people because she was very protective over Syd. I really loved the idea of showing the same memories over and over again and David have to figure out what they all mean and with each time through we got an additional memory to help figure things out and each time David got something wrong. Then the whole story that Syd was actually trying to tell David was interesting with her stating that love is a very important thing but love alone can't protect them from what's to come with the Shadow King or something else. Then everything else at Division 3 was interesting with everyone waking up from the monk's hypnosis and discovering Syd and David and trying to figure out why they weren't waking up. Then just overall this was a really amazing and fun episode that was so interesting to watch and see how everything played out
