The Flash Season 4 Episode 18 "Lose Yourself" Review
Barry and the team find a way into the Thinker's lair; Ralph considers crossing a dangerous line to defeat him; Joe is concerned by Harry's recent behavior.
This was a really entertaining and fun episode that had a lot of great moments to it. Everything around the search for Edwin and the discovery that his powers give him the ability to cross dimensions was really great. Then the debate between Barry and Ralph on whether or on to kill DeVoe if they are given the chance was really great because you could kind of see both sides of the argument. The moments between Joe and Harry were interesting with Joe confronting Harry about his addiction to the thinking cap, but those moments also felt really weird and random even if they were justified. Then the whole final fight scenes were amazing with Killer Frost, Flash, and Vibe all being trapped and everything was up to the rest of Team Flash. The moments between Iris and The Engineer were great with them having a battle more or less of who cares more. Then Joe taking on one of the samuroid's I wish would have gotten more screen time because that is something I would have loved to see. Then Ralph deciding to take the non-lethal rout to stop DeVoe was really great to see even though it didn't end well for him. The ending moments of realization the while in the fight with DeVoe he did something that caused Catlin to lose Killer Frost was really heartbreaking. And just overall this was a really amazing episode that makes me really excited to see what will happen next.
Riverdale Season 2 Episode 16 "Chapter Twenty-Nine: Primary Colors" Review
In the aftermath of Hiram's plans, Jughead resorts to drastic measures to voice his opposition; Tensions between Fred and Archie reach a breaking point.
This was a really great episode that had a lot of entertaining moments to it and each of the independent storylines were well done and great on there own as well as together. Everything with Archie and his family was really interesting with Fred trying to cut all ties to Lodge industries and Archie's mother coming back to help him, but Archie dealing with the problems of either choosing his family or the Lodge's. Then the moments with Jughead going on a hunger strike and chaining himself to South Side High all to protest against the Lodge's was really well done especially with Archie having to be the in-between person so that the Lodge's don't get any bad press by hurting a bunch of kids. Veronica was great in this episode with her trying to not create any buzz around her but everyone is angry about what her parents are doing and they only have access to take that anger out on her. Then her campaign to run for student president was an interesting story with how everything turned out with it finally being revealed that Veronica knew the whole time what her parents were up to. Betty was really great with her trying to figure out more about who Chic could be and why he is really there. Cheryl was some of the best moments in this episode with being fully paranoid that her mother and uncle are out to get her and her grandmother which is fully justified. Then just overall this was a really amazing episode and I'm very excited to see what will happen next with how this episode ended.
Riverdale Season 2 Episode 15 "Chapter Twenty-Eight: There Will Be Blood" Review
Fred considers running for Mayor; Betty becomes increasingly suspicious of Chic; Jughead makes a major discovery in his quest to take down Hiram.
This was a really great and interesting episode that had a lot of entertaining moments to it. I really enjoyed everything around Jughead slowly trying to put the pieces together of what Hiram is up to and why he's buying up so much of the south side. And the eventual reveal that Hiram has also bought Pop's shop was interesting to finally see all the pieces put together. Then the eventual reveal at the end of this episode of what Hiram actually has planned is kind of weird but also interesting with his plan being that he wants to build a prison and create a bunch of new jobs because of that. Then everything with Archie and his father was well done with their relationship becoming more strained with the idea that his father will be more in the pockets of the Lodges and that Archie has to decide if he's willing to let his father take on this role as mayor. Then everything with Betty in this episode was amazing with her finding a way to prove whether or not Chic is who he says he is. And she does that by using the need for a test to prove Blossom blood to decide whether or not certain members of the family get a cut of Clifford Blossom's fortune. Those scenes also let into some great moments with Cheryl and her slow discovery that her newly discovered uncle and her mother are planning against Cheryl and her grandmother. Then just overall this was a really well-done episode with some entertaining moments and I'm very curious to see what will happen now that Hermione is running for mayor.
Supergirl Season 3 Episode 17 "Trinity" Review
Still reeling after learning about Lena's secret, Supergirl asks
Guardian for a favor that could alter his relationship with Lena
forever. Meanwhile, with all three Worldkillers united, Supergirl and
the team brace for an epic battle.
This was a really great and entertaining episode that did an amazing job of setting a lot of things up for what is to come. I enjoyed all the scenes with Sam in this parallel dimension that she gets stuck in when Reign takes over. Just all the moments of Sam trying to not forget who she is and helping out some of the other world killers was just really well done. Then the moments of Supergirl, Lena, and Alex going into this parallel dimension to try and reach Sam and get her back in control of her own body was really entertaining. Which all lead up to a great final fight where Alex got some cool new weapons and we got to see the end of two of the world killers. Which that ending was the one part that confused me because if the two other world killers besides Reign were so disposable and Reign could just have their powers herself what was even the point of having them there in the first place. Then everything with Lena and Supergirl revolving around Lena gaining the ability to create Kryptonite was an interesting side story but it felt so heavy handed with how hard they tried to make the two of them not see eye to eye. Because yes I could see both sides of there argument with Lena bringing up how thousands of things can kill humans each day and people just live with those things, but I also understand Supergirls argent that none of those things hurt like Kryptonite does. Then bringing James into all of this and kind of making him pick a side was really great and so interesting to see the decisions he made. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and interesting episode to watch and I'm curious to see what will happen next.

The Flash Season 4 Episode 17 "Null and Annoyed" Review
Barry and Ralph try to find the remaining bus metas before DeVoe gets them. However, Ralph's attitude frustrates Barry and they clash over what it means to be a hero. Meanwhile, Breacher returns to ask Cisco for a favor.
This was a really great and entertaining episode that had a lot of really fun moments to it. The main villain in this episode of Null was a little confusing on her powers because they didn't explain them greatly and they were just done really sloppily in my mind. Yes, it was really entertaining to watch Null float things in the air use that as her way to steal things and the problems that come to the Flash because of her powers. Then the conflict between Barry and Ralph was interesting to see especially by the end of the episode where both of them learn something out of the conflict and we got to learn a bit more about Ralph's backstory. I did really love the Iris finally called Barry out for his bullshit when it came to all his complaint about Ralph's attitude because it really did seem like from the beginning Barry was trying to turn Ralph into him which is just not right. Then everything with Cisco and Breacher was just such an amazing side story that was so funny. I didn't much care for how much Cisco was willing to lie just for the hope of seeing Gypsy again. But still, it was really great seeing Cisco and Breacher interacting with each other and the topic around how Breacher is too old now for his powers to work. Then just overall this was a really amazing episode that was so much fun to watch.

Legion Season 2 Episode 9 "Chapter 17" Review
Inner demons take control.
This was a really interesting but slow episode that did have a lot of great moments to it. Everything around Melanie in this episode was interesting because we finally have gotten to see all of what she has been up to this season. Which basically has been that she has been taken over by Farouk through Oliver coming and talking to her about what she needs to do so that they can be back together. Which I did really love seeing some of the flashback moments of what things were like when Melanie and Oliver were younger as well as the good build up to the events that happened at the end of the last episode. Then everything with Cary and Kerry was great with them finally getting their mission from David on what they need to do to help him out which was they needed to deliver a weapon from Division 3 to this random parking lot outside of a motel. I really loved how this episode kept Cary and Kerry separated so they could interact with each other more and we could see the separation growing between Cary and Kerry. But having them separated so often and Cary's hard work to make Kerry more independent makes me really worried that something might happen to Carry. Then what was all going on with Lenny once she escaped Division 3 was really great because we saw her attempting to go back to her normal life but the want to help David was still there lurking in the back of her mind. The addition of having Amy come back as sort of a conscience for Lenny was a really great idea because they are such opposites of personalities and it just is a really great way to keep Amy around. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I'm excited to see what will happen next as the final showdown is about to start.
Riverdale Season 2 Episode 14 "Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Hills Have Eyes" Review
Determined to uncover Hiram's plans, Jughead presses Veronica about what she may know; Cheryl makes a surprising connection with an unlikely friend.
This was a really interesting episode that had a lot of really entertaining moments to it. It was really interesting to see what the main four got up to once they left Riverdale together to get some R&R. I liked watching Archie seal with all the stress he was put under by Hiram about keeping Veronica safe and out of the know about what Hiram is doing as well as watching over Jughead to make sure he doesn't make a fool of himself with questioning Veronica about what her family is up to. I didn't care much for the scene around Jughead and Veronica kissing to make up for when Betty and Archie kissed the whole scene just felt really random and unnecessary to the plot and it was really just there to give a glimpse of how things could have gone. Then everything around Kevin and Josie finally figuring out what was going on between there parents was some of the best moments in this episode. I especially loved the moments when Josie confronted Kevin about what was going instead of waiting for Kevin to figure it out himself. It was just really great to see Josie using her pain to hurt Kevin but then eventually them working together to get through all of what is going on. Then Josie's mother stepping down as mayor makes me really excited to see what is next. Then the moments between Cheryl and Toni make me really excited to see what will happen to between them. Then overall this was a really great and entertaining episode.
