American Horror Story 1984 Episode 3 "Slashdance" Review

Imitation is the best form of tragedy. Coming clean can be pretty messy.

This was a really great episode that was fun to see them sort of messing with a bunch of the suspense that they have established in the previous few episodes and just sort of playing with the classic slasher moves. The real story in this episode around how Rita isn't actually Rita but someone working with Mr. Jingles was a pretty big surprise but it was interesting to see her whole plan that she initially set up and how things slowly started not necessarily go according to plan. Then everything with the jokey Mr. Jingles going around as a bunch of teenagers playing pranks on the counselors was fun to see how they had this extra problem of not necessarily knowing who is really Mr. Jingles and who was just a prankster. And I loved the whole scene with one of the pranksters encountering Mr. Jingles but thinking that it was just one of his friends in a really good costume and that whole exchange with Mr. Jingles and I especially loved Mr. Jingles just being so confused that he ended up just letting the guy go that was a really funny moment. Then everything with Chet and Ray in this episode was really great with them getting stuck in this pit full of spikes and Chet getting seriously hurt and Ray not knowing what to do and eventually choosing to abandon his friend to save his own skin was very interesting especially with the consequences that eventually came for Ray because of his choice to abandon Chet. Then the ending moments between Montana and Richard were a bit surprising and I'm really excited to see how their connection is actually played out and why she is essentially working with the Night Stalker. Then just overall this was a really entertaining episode that was so much fun to watch and I'm so excited to see where they're going to take the storyline next now that a lot of them are pretty badly beaten up.

Emergence Season 1 Episode 2 "Camera Wheelbarrow Tiger Pillow" Review

As Jo continues to search for answers, a mysterious man's appearance in town may cause problems for the family. Piper tries to understand her new abilities while connecting with the family.

This was a very good episode that did a nice job of building off of a lot of the big moments that they established in the pilot episode and sort of creating a world of mythos around Piper and her mysterious abilities. Everything with Benny and Jo was interesting with them continue on a quest to figure out what happened in this mysterious plane crash and how Piper is connected to it all and the recovery of this weird transistor radio that is emanating off of weird frequency when magnets get too close to it I'm very curious to see what's all going to happen there once they uncover whatever this message is that's going out. Then everything with this mystery man that's going around and collecting everything that's in connection to the plane crash or Piper was really well done with how they chose to sort of establishing him especially in the moments of him actually breaking into Jo's house. The only confusing part to me was what was he actually after because in some parts of it and made it seem like he was after Piper but then other moments made it seem like he was after the weird microchip that they collected in the previous episode and if he was after the microchip then why was the weird tracker device tracking Piper. And when he found Piper why didn't he just grabbed her rather then telling her to keep quiet that was really kind of confusing how all that played out. Then the whole ending conflict scene between Jo and this mystery man was very entertaining to see where she use the weird unnatural gravity forces and magnetism to her advantage to eventually subdue him and get him to start to confess everything that's going on. Then the ending of this episode makes me really excited to see what they're going to do next and how more of the truth around Piper is going to eventually be revealed. And just overall this was a really entertaining episode and I'm really excited to see what they're going to do next.

Magnum P.I. Season 2 Episode 1 "Payback for Beginners" Review

While Magnum waits for Higgins to decide if she'll officially become his partner, he takes the case of a missing wife who witnessed her boss' murder during a bank robbery.

This was a very interesting first episode that felt a little weird because it really didn't feel like a very good season opener episode it felt much better being an episode somewhere near the middle of a season because it missed out on a lot of the qualifications I think are needed for a season opener episode. What were the main problems is it didn't do a very good job of reintroducing a lot of the main characters both Rick and TC were barely in this episode and even with Higgins they didn't do a very good job of re-establishing her role within the team. I did really enjoy the storyline in this episode around the missing wife and her going on this vendetta to get revenge for the death of her friend and all the twists and turns that came along with the truth around what she was doing and why was very interesting and very surprising with how they chose to reveal everything. With Magnum and Higgins tracing the trail of all the different places that the wife went to was very interesting with how they ended up running into the bad guys they were looking for but didn't necessarily realize it and how all that was shown was fun to see. Then all the conflict between Magnum and Kazumoto due to what happened in the finale last season was very interesting to see how he was still refusing to work with Magnum and caused a lot of problems when Magnum was looking for help. Then the ending of this episode kind of bugged me because a bunch of different moments sort of feeling out of character was pretty much out of nowhere Rick decided to leave the club he's been running and find a new career. Then, Higgins, all the sudden decides to return to England to hear the offer given by MI6 to her, Higgins leaving instead of joining the group in their barbecue just felt very out of character. Overall this was a very good and interesting episode to watch and see how everything played out it just didn't feel like a very good season opener episode to me.

American Horror Story 1984 Episode 2 "Mr. Jingles" Review

Darkness descends upon the camp. Although it's lights out, evil has no curfew.

This was a really interesting and great episode that did a good job of building off of the story that was established in the previous episode as well as getting to know more of the characters and why they are in the positions they are in. The whole back story around Brooke and why she chose to move to LA was an interesting story with her escaping a rather murderous wedding and wanting to hide away and start over. Then the reveal around who Xander was talking to on the phone in the previous episode with it being this very skeevy agent who I was trying to push Xander to do things he didn't want to do and that led to a great moment with Xander eventually giving up Trevor to the agent so that he could go free. The whole scene with the Night Stalker and the hitchhiker was kind of confusing with how they chose to shoot the scene because it was supposed to show that the hiker can't die because he's already dead but the way they showed it made it seem like they mistakenly killed him twice and forgot to cut out one of the different killings because they didn't really show him getting back up which I think is an important scene they just showed Richard killing him and then they went to a different scene and then went back to showing Richard killing him again and that made things really confusing for a bit until they later established, oh he's dead already from Mr. Jingles. Then the whole scene between Margaret and Richard was very interesting with their conversations around their motives of why they do what they do and why their beliefs impact those actions. I'm very curious to see what's going to happen in the future when Richard and Mr. Jingles potentially go head-to-head. Then I really enjoyed how they continue to play off of a lot of the 80's horror movie cliches with the group deciding to split up into two smaller groups to go and find the keys to the last remaining cars and that causes problems with there being two killers on the loose. And with how this episode ended I'm really excited to see which one of the groups ended up with which killers. Then just overall this was a really exciting and great episode and I cannot wait to see what they will do next.

Emergence Season 1 Episode 1 "Pilot" Review

After Jo, a police chief, takes in a young child she finds near the site of a mysterious accident, she soon discovers the girl has no memory of what has happened or who she is. The investigation into the history that led up to the accident -- and questions as to how and why it happened -- draws the woman into a conspiracy larger than she ever imagined, with the child's identity at the center of it.

This was a really interesting first episode that did a good job of setting up a lot of the mystery around the series and the main girl of Piper. All the mystery around this plane crash and girl was really well done with how the case to show Piper's abilities and how even she is unaware of what's going on. The moments between Jo and Alex were very interesting with how they dealt with bringing Piper into there lives. I do really hope they don't end up having the two of them get back together rather instead they should keep with the idea that they got divorced for a reason. The show also did a really good job with the trailer where they mixed scenes changing around some of Jo's stories in this episode. Then just overall this was a really get first episode and I'm really excited to see where things go.

American Horror Story 1984 Episode 1 "Camp Redwood" Review

In the summer of 1984, five friends escape Los Angeles to work as counselors at Camp Redwood. As they adjust to their new jobs, they quickly learn that the only thing scarier than campfire tales is the past coming to haunt you.

This was a really great first episode that mostly just focused on developing some of the characters and the environment they are in. Two of these characters were interesting in the reasons why they decided to leave and escape to the wilderness. Xavier choosing to leave to escape from some kind of stalker coming for him which I'm excited to see develop in the future. Then Brooke leaving LA to escape the Night Stalker was such a great moment to bring the Night Stalker back from Hotel. The whole backstory around the camp was interesting with this supposed groundskeeper known as Mr. Jingles going mad and killing a cabin of campers then escaping from a mental institute the night of the camps reopening. I'm very interesting to see if Mr. Jingles is really the killer or if the new head of the camp is and Mr. Jingles got that blame. I really loved all the 80's horror movie stereotypes that played into this episode and I want to know if there going to stick to those stereotypes or flip the table and do something different. Then just overall this was a fun first episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next.   

The Orville Season 2 Episode 1 "Ja'loja" Review

The crew faces personal challenges on their way to witness Bortus perform a Moclan ceremony on his homeworld.

This was a really fun episode that did a really nice job of reintroducing all of the main cast and establishing where they left off last season and showing some potential growth for them throughout this coming season. Everything around Bortus and the Ja'loja was really fun with how each of the different crew member sort of took the idea of going through this ceremony for Bortus and how they each chose to approach it was really interesting to see. Especially around Alara and Gordon where they needed dates to go to the ceremony otherwise, it would be seen as rude to show up alone to this kind of ceremony so both of them working to figure out who they can potentially take as a date and what all that means for them was really exciting to see. Then everything with Commander Grayson and Ed was really great with them sort of moving on to their own personal relationships away from each other. And Ed is grappling what that means now that Kelly is moving on with someone new and him not necessarily agreeing with that at first but then went to grow and except it to some degree. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode and I'm so excited to see what the season will bring.

New Amsterdam Season 1 Episode 8 "Three Dots" Review

A patient's treatment plan takes an unexpected turn when Max gets overly invested. Meanwhile, Reynolds celebrates his birthday with some help from the hospital and Kapoor grapples with a case that hits close to home.


This was a really great episode that had a bunch of really well-done scenes and each of the different stories told in this episode or so well done in really well detailed and had a good beginning and ending to each of them. Everything with Max and him dealing with this patient who has some form of cancer and has opportunity to get this surgery but it is much more likely that this patient will die on the operating table so Max dealing with this patient refusing to get the surgery and rather choosing to live a rather short but less painful life was an interesting thing to see how Max grapple that. And just that whole story told by this Rabbi about all these different comparisons to the Bible and all these different stories and stuff was really interesting to see how those comparisons were made. I'm still very confused and somewhat uncertain about the ending for Max we're through all this he decided to go with experimental surgery to cure cancer instead of the regular way and that just felt like a sudden turn that didn't quite fit his character in my opinion. Then everything with Dr. Reynolds and him dealing with not wanting to celebrate his birthday did make for some fun scenes but that was probably the weaker of the stories in this episode but it still did show some more of his character growth and getting to know his character more which was really interesting and entertaining to see. The moments with Dr. Kapoor were probably some of my favorite moments in this episode because his whole storyline revolves around this patient who has depression and her Asian heritage doesn't really believe in mental illness so they are struggling to grapple with how to help her when they don't necessarily believe that she's sick. And Kapoor dealing with those similar problems because he's someone who feels the same way and him going to this patient's mother and sort of working through how to approach this and how to truly understand that this is an illness that needs to be cured was really interesting to see. Then just overall this was a really entertaining episode and I'm so excited to see what they're going to do next especially with how this episode ended for Max.

The Flash Season 5 Episode 10 "The Flash & the Furious" Review

While Nora grapples with the revelation that Thawne killed her grandmother, Team Flash must stop the formidable team-up of a newly sprung from jail Weather Witch and Silver Ghost, a new meta-tech villain who can control engines and motorized technology. Meanwhile, Caitlin and Cisco discuss creating a meta-human cure.

This was a really interesting and well-done episode that did a really good job of continuing character growth for Weather Witch. Which lead to some really great scenes with Weather Witch trying to decide if she actually wants to help Silver Ghost or find a way back to prison and deal with the punishments she deserves. All the moments with Silver Ghost were a little weird because I could figure out why she was doing all the things she was doing. But it was fun to see her using her hacking abilities to mess with The Flash's suit so it made it more difficult for him to catch her. the moments round Cisco trying to decide whether or not to make a possible cure and Caitlin not agreeing at first did make for some interesting moments. But I don't really get why Cisco all the sudden want to get rid of his powers to me that really seems to come out of nowhere. The confrontation between Nora and Thawne was interesting and I kind of can't wait to see how the relationship develops in the future, and what will happen when the rest of Team Flash finds out. Then just overall this was a really interesting and fun episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next.

Legends of Tomorrow Season 4 Episode 5 "Tagumo Attacks!!!" Review

A new fugitive is loose in 1951 Tokyo; As Constantine struggles to recover, Ray must look outside the team for help; Ava joins Nate and his family for an unconventional Thanksgiving dinner.

This was such a fun and entertaining episode that did a very good job with the whole storyline that was created around this big theme of having some sort of source to deal with your emotions and all the different forms that that can take for a different people. And I really enjoyed the whole concept and idea around the creation of Godzilla and how there was originally this other creature known as Tagumo that was created through this magical book that the director got a hold of and he used it to get all of his emotions out around the bombing of Nagasaki I believe and him working through that by creating a monster that could be the villain. And just how the team dealt with this monster and discover the truth around this book was really fun especially with how it eventually brought Mick and his ability to be a good writer into the mix and him using that as a weapon to essentially write his own story and own way to help them defeat this monster. Then Ray going on the side mission to track down where Nora is hiding so that she can come aboard the ship and save John was really interesting to see how all that played out. I especially loved the conversation between John and Nora where they talked about the differences between light and dark magic and how if Nora does accept and give in to her dark magic nature that is something that from that point on can never really go away and she has to learn to accept that it's going to be a part of her permanently and that just felt like such a touching moment to hear from Constantine and I just really loved it for that. Then everything with Ava and Nate was really fun with them meeting Nate's family and seeing where he comes from and why he's so agitated towards his family was really interesting to see because overall they seem like such nice people but they have this pressure and side to them to want Nate to be perfect, and to be like them and he isn't. That was just really interesting to see. Then overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode that had such a great storyline to it and it was so much fun to watch and see how everything played out.

Manifest Season 1 Episode 10 "Crosswinds" Review

Michaela's next-level callings are accompanied by hallucinations. Ben exploring Michaela's calling leads him to a new alliance and a powerful new adversary.

This was a very interesting episode that took a bunch of different directions and did a good job of setting up for where the story is going to lead with all the mystery surrounding the missing plane. Everything with Michaela in this episode was interesting with her looking into these weird callings she has that are going completely overboard, versus the weird voices and visions that she's had in the past and her trying to link it to different things. And she eventually makes this discovery around one of the missing but now found passengers were interesting with how she took it when this passenger started talking and her trying to figure out his whole back story. Then everything with the missing passengers that have now been found was great with them still being comatose and Saanvi sort of working to find a way to care for them until they are stable enough to take care of themselves again. Then Autumn Cox coming in and working against Ben and Michaela but also somewhat for them was interesting with how she initially wanted to get away and be friends with them but this mysterious Major and all the forces bring her back in to be their enemy was fun to see what's going to happen there once the truth comes out. Then everything with Jared was just odd with him still trying to grapple whether or not he loves Michaela or Loudes more. Then just overall this was a really fun and entertaining episode and I'm really excited to see what they're going to do next.

Magnum P.I. Season 1 Episode 10 "Bad Day to Be a Hero" Review

Magnum must help Rick's crush after her illegal poker game is robbed by masked gunmen.

This was a really great episode that did a good job of giving every character a role in the main story. Everything with Rick and him working on trying to save this relationship he has formed and things just keeping going wrong for him leading to a somewhat of an unhappy ending. Then meeting Rick's father and seeing some of the life he grew up in and possibly why he is the way he is was really great. The whole break down of which shady person at the poker game was involved with the robbers was interesting with how the ruled out each player until something came up. But the actual truth behind the robbery just felt like a very dramatic shift and like they were trying to fit two different episodes into one which made for a very rushed ending in my opinion. Overall this was a really fun and exciting episode that had a lot of good parts to it.

Midnight Texas Season 2 Episode 6 "No More Mr. Nice Kai" Review

An unknown force threatens to reveal all the Midnighters' secrets; Manfred's suspicion towards Kai intensifies; Fiji embraces Dark Magic to save Bobo.

This was a really interesting and somewhat of a fun episode that had a really great concept to it and the way they chose to create so much chaos in the town was just really great. Everything with Fiji finally embracing her dark magic was so much fun with how much her personality changed and how cunning and clever she became. The return of Creek was great with her and Manfred trying to work out whether or not they should move on from one another. Looking into if Kai had anything to do with the secrets coming out and what he is doing with all these stored up supernatural powers made for some really great scenes. I especially loved the scene where Manfred and Joe confront the head in Kai's office. The love triangle coming out between Joe, Walker, and Chuy was so much fun to see Walker and Chuy going after one another and Joe working to try and keep Chuy calmed down. Then the truth coming out that all the chaos going on was because of a Trickster was such a great reveal and made for a really great moment when the whole town finally teamed up against him. Then just overall this was a really fun and great episode to watch and see how everything played out.  

Charmed Season 1 Episode 8 "Bug a Boo" Review

While on the hunt for Jada, Harry and Charity learn a Changeling Demon is putting one of the sisters in danger.

This was a fun and okay episode that had some troubles because of the fact the three different sisters stories were so different it was a little to much plot for one episode. Everything with Mel in this episode was interesting with her joining the Sisters of Arcana to figure out what they're planning and what they took from Tartarus. The truth coming out about Jada and why she has the powers she does was an interesting concept with her being a mix of witch and whitelighter. Everything with Maggie was fun with her working to get an internship in Chicago and making Macy sign up for the dating app in order to get over her feeling for Galvin. The side story with Parker working to get the sister's blood was well done with him using his illness to his benefit. Macy going on a really bad date and getting kidnapped was a fun way to introduce the monster of the week and it being a bug monster that needs a home for its eggs was also fun to play on Harry's fear of bugs. Then just overall this was a really fun episode that was so exciting to watch and I can't wait to see what will happen next.  

Riverdale Season 3 Episode 7 "Chapter Forty-Two: The Man in Black" Review

Fearful that he will be caught, Archie hits the road and ends up at a farm outside Riverdale; Betty finds herself up against a formidable foe from her past; Veronica makes a risky business decision that could cost her everything.

This was a really weird and not all that entertaining or exciting of an episode that had some good parts to it but it just felt so out of place. Everything with Archie and Jughead on their whole road trip adventure was just odd and out of place, where they go to this random town and get a place to stay on this farm as long as they do some work. And through their work they discovered that the Griffins and Gargoyles game has reached this town and apparently Veronica's dad essentially owns the town and everyone follows him blindly and that just felt so odd that this random mob boss guy could take over a bunch of small towns in would want to just for the chance that it could come in handy for him in the future. Then Archie having this random one-off relationship with the owner of the farm felt so odd with him just breaking up with Veronica. Then how they eventually escaped and outsmarted Hiram was just odd too and didn't make much sense and it just felt so overdramatic. Everything with Betty and her stay in the Sisters of Quiet Mercy Asylum was probably some of my favorite moments in this episode with her going up against and also teaming up with Ethel to figure out more of the history around the Griffins and Gargoyles game and dealing with some of the people that are the most in-depth into this game. Then everything with Veronica again felt like just a bunch of shoed in moments to give Veronica something to do in the episode where her whole part was to figure out how to get more money for her speakeasy so she decides to have a casino night and brings in one of her dad's mobster friend's sons to host and then she figures out a way to outsmart him so she actually is gaining a prophet and it just felt really kind of pointless and unnecessary for the grander scheme of this episode. Then just overall this was an okay episode that had some good moments but it just felt really odd and unnecessary and just way too overdramatic and overdone.

Elseworlds Review

Destiny is rewritten and Oliver becomes Barry Allen and he is now the fastest man alive and Barry Allen becomes Oliver and he is now the vigilante of Star city also called The Green Arrow.

This was a really entertaining and great episodes that did a good job of setting up for future crossover episodes as well as having a very fun and entertaining it story in itself. A lot of my complaints with the series of crossover episodes are weird because they're the exact opposite of my complaints about the Crisis on Earth X crossover because in Crisis on Earth X it had a problem that it was so slow and trying to fit everything into four episodes just it felt like they run out of storylines causing was so much filler. Whereas for Elseworlds crossover it felt so rushed and like it was really hard to keep up with everything that was going on with all their plans and stuff.

That being said everything with Barry and Oliver was really fun with them having to live each other's lives and have each other's powers and had to figure out how to make everything work was fun especially with Barry trying to be the weapon that Oliver has built himself to be and then Oliver trying to use Barry's Flash's power was so funny. Then giving Superman a bigger role and have him play a part in this series of crossover episodes was fun to see how he's been doing and what his plans are for the future with Lois and then him leaving Supergirl behind to defend Earth herself. The introduction of Batwoman was also really great where she is not a huge fan of Oliver and sort of giving off the presence of her wanting to protect our city and not really wanting Oliver and Barry they're causing distractions. With that I'm not a huge fan of Batwoman and I never really have been but I feel like Ruby did a really good job of portraying Batwoman and I'm very interested to see where that storyline might go in the future even though I might not watch her series.

Then everything with The Monitor and him having this idea of setting up the potential of the Crisis of the Multiverse and him trying to find the true heroes and the true Earth that will reign dominant was an interesting thing. And how everyone work together to defeat him was great where they had this idea of The Flash and Supergirl having to run and fly in opposite directions to slow down the Earth's rotation so that they could defeat him before he had the potential to change the story again wasn't an interesting tactic even though Oliver had to step in and change things to be able to save Barry and Kara's lives.

Which that leads to my idea that there is substantial chance that Oliver is going to die in the next crossover because he had to make some sort of deal with The Monitor in order to save Supergirl and The Flash and I feel like Oliver willingly gave up his own life to do so, but that's all saved for the Crisis of the Multiverse. I'm so excited to see what they're going to do for the Crisis of the Multiverse event because it is such a big storyline and I'm curious to see what they're going to do with it once everything ends because in the comic the ending led to several heroes deaths so I'm curious to see who might be killed off or if they're going to kill anyone off. Because in the comics  Supergirl died, so would they replace her with Oliver or potentially Superman which I think would be cool to see. And then the potential for Superboy to come in to fill his father's spot. Then also several other characters that have sort of become mainstays also died in the comics like with Lena Luthor so I'm curious to know if they'll kill her off and have her brother Lex become the new main bad or if they're going to trade places there and have Lex die instead. But anyways I'm so excited to see what they're going to do with the Crisis of the Multiverse crossover and overall this was a really fun series of episodes and I'm so excited to see what they're going to do next.

The Flash Season 5 Episode 8 "What's Past is Prologue" Review

In the 100th episode, Barry and Team Flash come up with a plan to stop Cicada. However, the plan calls for Barry and Nora to travel back in time to gather some key necessities. However, Barry hesitates, concerned about his daughter seeing certain parts of his life. Meanwhile, Sherloque takes his concerns about Nora to Iris, and Caitlin turns up a key asset in the fight against Cicada.

This was a really great episode that was so much fun to watch and see what they did with Barry and Nora going back in time to get items that could stop Cicada. And they did a lot of similar things to many other shows when they have 100 anniversary where it's like a recap of everything that led up to where they are now. But in this episode, it was done a lot better than in Arrow and in many other shows because of the fact that it had a solid storyline behind why they are recapping through everything. Now having Nora interactions with all the different villains that Barry has fought over the years was interesting with her reactions to everything. With her actually seeing things versus just hearing stories about what happened to her dad. By far the best scenes were the ones with Nora and Barry going to go and meet Thawne and him recognizing Nora but not fully which made for a fun moment of him sort of hinting for the Tornado Twins and Nora having to step in and be like no I'm not her I'm Nora. Which sort of help to fill the idea that there might be multiple timelines that Thawne is dealing with which would be interesting to see in the future how that plays out where there might be a different future where the Tornado Twins are a thing. Then how they got all the pieces together to make this device that helps to take the shrapnel out of Cicada so he can no longer have his powers was interesting with how they chose to lure Cicada in and what they did to hide the weapon from him until they used it. Then ending with the reveal that Thawne and Nora have a relationship together and that she does know him was really interesting to see the fact of Nora's reactions when she learns the truth of why Barry and Thawne have had such a bad relationship together. Then everything was Sherloque and him looking into whether or not they should trust Nora was interesting but I also feel like it could've been done better and it just felt like a random scene to get Sherloque and Iris in a fight. Then the reveal around the idea that Caitlin/Killer Frost can't be affected by the dagger because she's not a meta-human on the same wavelength as the rest is an interesting idea that she still has the ability to use her power and fight against Cicada makes it very exciting to see what they're going to do in the future. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode and I'm so excited to see what they are going to do next.

Manifest Season 1 Episode 9 "Dead Reckoning" Review

When Ben and Michaela put everything on the line to save the other missing passengers, the mission goes horribly awry and not everyone makes it out alive.

This was a really great and interesting episode that had a very great storyline to it that was great to see play out and bring up the tension. All the steps that everyone went through to finally uncover were the missing passengers are being held and how everyone played into things was great to see everyone working together. I did have a problem with how heavily Jared is following Michaela and wouldn't really let her do anything on her own. Seeing Ben and Vance working together was great to see that Vance truly is a good guy just trying to figure everything out. Then Cal showing up and helping everyone figure things out because of his visions was really great especially with the moment with him making the comment the Ben is the only one who can guide everyone to safety was weird but great with Ben seeing a path that no one else could see. Which then lead to the other group that wasn't with Ben getting lost and hurt. Killing off Vance was surprising and I'm very curious to see what they might happen now that he is no longer there as a higher up to help. And I'm also curious to see what might happen to all these missing passengers now that they are saved but still comatose. Then overall this was a really great episode and I'm so excited to see what will happen next.  

Charmed Season 1 Episode 7 "Out of Scythe" Review

When Harry informs the sisters that Hilltowne is a portal to hell, they must band together to fight off a shadowy demon trying to obtain a collection of powerful magical artifacts.

This was a really interesting episode that had some good moments to it and some moments that were a little hard to follow. Everything around the gathering the pieces of the scythe and figuring out who is after it was great. Especially with all the other kind of mystical creatures that the sister encountered. Then everything with Maggie and Parker possibly starting a relationship now that they are free from possibly hurting Lucy is an interesting thing that I wonder what is going to happen going forward once more secrets are revealed. Mel working through what she wants to do with her life with time rewriting things was interesting with the new weird electric witch showing up to add a new love interest to her life. Macy being given the task of firing Galvin was great with Macy working to figure out which is more important her new job or her friendship with Galvin. The only problem I had with Macy's scenes how easily she managed to save Galvin and prove his important by basically saying that Galvin is a good friend to everyone. Then overall I'm curious to see what will happen next now that the scythe is all put together. 

Supergirl Season 4 Episode 8 "Bunker Hill" Review

Nia has a powerful dream about Agent Liberty but refuses to look at it as a prophetic dream and pushes it aside. After noticing something is bothering Nia, Kara enlists Brainy's help, and the two try to persuade Nia to embrace her destiny. Meanwhile, Manchester Black pays Ben Lockwood a menacing visit.

This was a really great episode that was so well done in its storyline and had a lot of great moments to it. Everything with Brainy and Nia was great with Brainy helping to guide Nia though her dreams to figure out what everything means and where the attack is taking place and just really helping Nia to control things more rather than just living through her dreams. Then all the scenes with the three of them going to this small town to hunt down Ben Lockwood was great with them seeing more of the reach of the Children of Liberty and having to avoid getting into to much trouble. Manchester Black's confrontation with Lockwood was great with Lockwood's wife learning what Ben has been up to. And just seeing all the conversations and fighting between Manchester and Lockwood was really great. Then the final moments with Ben being arrested for his actions and seeing the public outcry for his arrest was interesting to see. Then just overall this was a really entertaining episode that was so great to watch. 

Midnight Texas Season 2 Episode 5 "Drown the Sadness In Chardonnay" Review

Lem makes a shocking decision; Olivia's past comes back to haunt her; Fiji seeks outside help from her fellow Light Witches; A suicide pits Manfred and Kai against one another.

This was a really confusing episode that was entertaining to watch and had some good moments to it. Everything with Lem in this episode was just odd with his decision to stop being a vampire so that he can have a family with Olivia and everything else that he wants. Then everything with Olivia in this episode was just weird with her finally confronting her father and finding out that he is still stuck living in the past to live where he felt happiest. How Olivia got stuck in her fathers trap and how Lem and others got her out of it was a little confusing, rushed, and felt like they were trying to wrap up everything they set up.

Fiji's parts in this episode were great with the truth coming out about her curse and why she is the way she is. That truth is that she is actually a dark witch and not a light one was a great reveal but a little confusing. Because why would that be a secret to her and if her own family didn't know how could they not. I feel the difference between a dark witch and light witch should be easily seen so it is known. Then it was also confusing how Fiji was all the sudden a master at dark magic once she realized she had it.

Then the moments with Manfred and Patients really felt like it should have been its own episode because it also felt a little rushed when trying to compete with the Olivia storyline. I did enjoy Manfred trying to figure out the mystery of why this girl killed her self and figuring out that she was actually murdered by her friend. And how all these things lead back to the idea of no one can escape from Kai was great with how it is becoming known that Manfred and Patients are in a relationship. Then just overall this was a really entertaining episode that was a little hard to follow but it had a nice couple of storyline to it.  

Riverdale Season 3 Episode 6 "Chapter Forty-One: Manhunter" Review

Betty follows some strong leads in hopes of finding out who the true Gargoyle King is; Veronica's attempt to prove Archie's innocence lands her in hot water.

This was a very confusing and a real mess of an episode that was kind of hard to follow and really felt like they were trying to just connect events all in the hopes to start tying up all of the storylines they have set up. Everything with Betty in this episode was just a mess with her working to find out who did the original poisoning during the Midnight Clubs events. And everything with Penelope is just confusing being her motivations and actions just don't make any sense. Then everything with Jughead is just out there with him continuing to follow leads to bring him the Gargoyle King. I did enjoy the moments with them confronting Joaquin and learning a bit more about the in's and out's of the game that they haven't gotten to yet. Veronica's moments in this episode were just odd with her looking into freeing Archie and the evidence she found was just way to easy and her confrontation with her father made very little sense. Then Archie's actions in this episode were just odd where he went to confront the other kids who accused him only to find them dead at Hiram's hand. Then just overall this was a confusing episode that felt like a bit of a mess with how it was all put together. 

The Flash Season 5 Episode 7 "O Come, All Ye Faithful" Review

While Nora grapples with unresolved anger over her father's disappearance in the future, Barry and Team Flash must stop a powerful new meta, Weather Witch, from killing her own father, Weather Wizard.

This was a really great episode that was so much fun to watch and see how everything turned out. Everything with Weather Witch was interesting to see with her going through all these different things in order to gain the chance to kill her father. The meta-tech that Weather Witch had was also cool with her having this staff made from broken weather radar parts that now helps her control the weather. Then seeing Nora throughout this episode was interesting with her having this growing fear of losing her father so she is doing a lot to try and protect him. One of her ways to stop him was well done with her comment being the best way to stop him from getting hurt is to have Barry stop being The Flash. That was really interesting to hear because it was true but then seeing Barry showing that he truly loves being a hero and having Nora see that he needs to be a hero was all well done. Then just overall this was an entertaining episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next. 

Magnum P.I. Season 1 Episode 9 "The Ties That Bind" Review

After a 16-year-old kidnap victim escapes her captors, her parents hire Magnum, who experienced similar trauma as a POW, to find who took her.

This was a really great episode that was so interesting to watch and see how everything turned out. Everything with Amanda was very interesting with her working through all the pain of what happened to help to then be able to help Magnum track down her kidnapper. And the truth comes out more about Magnum's experiences in the POW camp was interesting to see how Higgins reacted to everything. Then the part about locating was Amanda was being held was interesting with the police searches ended up going in the wrong direction and that is why they could never find her. Then the whole truth that the reason the kidnappers took Amanda was to get her father to kill someone he had access to was an interesting twist to the story. And how Magnum managed to save the day and stop things from going bad was all just entertaining to see. Then just overall this was a really well-done episode that was so entertaining to watch.

Manifest Season 1 Episode 8 "Point of No Return" Review

Ben forms an unlikely partnership with Vance in a high-stakes race to locate the missing passengers; Michaela helps a suicidal passenger; Cal goes back to school.

This was a really entertaining episode that had a good storyline to it and it was interesting to see how everything turned out. The moments between Vance and Ben were interesting with Ben continuing to try and locate the facility that the missing passengers are being held at. It was especially great in how Ben gathered information and what other passengers were willing to help Ben and Vance out. Then it was interesting to see how much other groups are hiding from Vance and the NSA. Everything with Michaela and her adventure through this episode was interesting with her finding a possible connection between telling people about the callings and those same people ending up dead shortly after. How Michaela and Ben reacted to this news and what they did to protect those they care about and working to figure out if trouble is coming or not was just all really interesting. Then Cal going back to school was just really sweet with some of his old friends gathering up to have a good time with him again. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I'm so excited to see what will happen next. 

Charmed Season 1 Episode 6 "Kappa Spirit" Review

As Maggie attempts to make amends with Lucy, she asks for Mel's help to figure out who the new Kappa member is.

This was a really entertaining episode that was so much fun to watch how everything turned out. Everything with Maggie was the main part of this episode and it was so entertaining but also a little confusing. I enjoyed this vengeful spirit working with Lucy and driving a bigger wedge between Maggie and Lucy. The confusing part came when Maggie was trying to identify which type of ghost this spirit is and she needed this book and all this help the first time around but then later she just switched her mind to a whole different section of ghost and had all this information on how to stop them without any help. Then Mel and Maggie going back in time and encountering there mother when she was pregnant with Macy made a good push forward in the storyline around the mystery of Macy. Then Macy looking more into the mark on Galvin and getting Harry's help on it was fun to see Harry interacting with Macy's friends and trying to figure out what is going on with Galvin. Then just overall this was a really fun episode that was so interesting to watch.

Supergirl Season 4 Episode 7 "Rather the Fallen Angel" Review

James falls in deeper with the Children of Liberty in his efforts to meet Agent Liberty. Meanwhile, Supergirl and Manchester Black follow a lead on Agent Liberty's location, but things take a dark turn. Lena kicks off her first set of trials.

This was a really good and interesting episode that had some very entertaining moments to it. Everything with Kara in this episode was interesting with Manchester Black going against Supergirl's back to try and get closer to Agent Liberty faster. Then the whole scene with her being locked inside the monument was interesting with what all she did to alert James of her presence. Then James continuing to befriend the Children of Liberty and having to go through this big action to prove his loyalty and save his friends was all really well done. Especially in his actions when he finally decided to turn away from the Children of Liberty and fight against them in a way that saved both of his friends. Then everything with Lena was so well done with her going through these first human trails of her new serum. How she chose to approach the situation at first was very interesting with Lena choosing to only call the patient by his code number but then growing to become more familiar and friendly with the patient and suffering a bit when he eventually dies from the serum. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and interesting episode to watch and see how everything turned out. 

Legends of Tomorrow Season 4 Episode 4 "Wet Hot American Bummer" Review

When the Legends discover that kids at a summer camp have disappeared, Sara, Ava, Ray, and Constantine find themselves as the new camp counselors. At camp, Ava struggles to get along with the kids, but Constantine whips up a potion that helps Sara and Ava bond with the children. Luckily, the team finds clues to the whereabouts of the missing kids, but the battle to save them leaves one member in bad shape. Meanwhile, Rory and Zari are tasked with watching the fugitive and Rory finds a kinship with their "prisoner."

This was a really fun and entertaining episode that had a fun storyline to it and it was interesting to see how all the different characters dealt with the situations they feel into. Everything with Ava and Sara was interesting with there different approaches to trying to get information out of the kids. Then the plot around Ava finally getting to experience what it is like to be a kid and how that played into them finding the monster was great. Then seeing Ray and Constantine try and work together was so much fun with how much there personalities clashes. Then the witch who is the monster in this episode was really confusing because they did all this set up saying that the witch is female just to then switch things up and have the witch actually be male was so odd and confusing to follow. Everything with Rory and Zari was interesting with them getting to know Charlie more and figuring out where she stands with the team and really stepping up to help everyone identify that monster. Then just overall this was a really entertaining episode that was so much fun to watch.

Midnight Texas Season 2 Episode 4 "I Put a Spell on You" Review

The Midnighters join forces to protect a weretiger; Fiji takes extreme measures to save Bobo; Patience and Manfred bond over relationship troubles.

This was an okay episode that had some good moments to it but it did get a little long and confusing at points. The whole story with the baby weretiger and Olivia working to take care of it and truly understanding what it's like to have a normal family did make for an interesting storyline for this episode. But everything else around this baby weretiger was really confusing where the mother to this weretiger was looking for the Rev but it was never explained how she knew the Rev or why he was the one she went to for help. Then the whole weretiger family tree between the mother, grandmother, and father of this baby weretiger made no sense to me because they had it as the father being weretiger but never really explaining what the mother or grandmother was besides being the owners of this fighting ring of supernatural creatures. So then the confusing part to me is, did the mother go against the grandmother's wishes and have a child with this weretiger that she was imprisoning or did the grandmother pushed the mother to have a child with the weretiger. Then everything with Fiji was interesting with her wiping his memory of everything that happened between the two of them but things not working out because the fact of their love and attraction being too strong that no magic can stop it so the ending of her turning him into a dog was interesting to see. Then everything with Manfred and Patience was okay but a little confusing and felt a bit like it was adding more drama than what was necessary. Then just overall this was a really fun episode that had a good storyline to it, it just felt like they were missing pieces to the story.

American Horror Story Apocalypse Episode 10 "Apocalypse Then" Review

The witches prepare for a final epic battle with Michael.

This was a really interesting but disappointing episode because they made all this setup for this big witch vs antichrist fight just over it to fizzle out and be nothing really at all. Everything at the bunker and leading on where episode three left off started out great with all the people who came back and all the back and forth but there Michael just kind of ripped through all the witches without much effort which was all the entertaining to see. The one line by Cordelia and how there will always be witches coming for Michael because he is one and the witches are a legion.

Everything with the time travel ended up with it being a lot of my fears because the time travel concept is something that is hard to maintain and control especially when not introduced right away. So the time travel was completely messed up in this episode compared to the previous episode because last time it showed Mallory only being able to travel for a short time and then went back to her current time while what happened in this episode showed her fixing things and then sticking around back in time and remembering all of what happened previously. So that makes little sense to me and I want to know it that means there are two Mallory's running around now or two Supremes running around in her and Cordelia. Then the fix to stop the Apocalypse also changed a lot of other things in Mallory sticking around and changing other things so like she brought Misty back and stopped Queenie from going to the Hotel Cortez so what changes did that effect in the big final fight at the Cortez.

And the way Mallory killed Michael was just really dumb and written off so heavily as a joke and undermined everything that this season set up for Michael. Which just really confused me because this whole season set up to make us feel for Michael and see where he is coming from so just to kill him off in a mundane way is just so odd to me. Then just overall this was a really weak and disappointing final episode to end an otherwise great season.
