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.   

Riverdale Season 3 Episode 5 "Chapter Forty: The Great Escape" Review

Veronica devises a dangerous plan to break Archie out of juvie; Betty finds herself in a race against the clock to save Jughead when takes his investigation a step too far.

This was a really interesting but weird episode that had some good moments to it but it was also just really confusing. Everything with Jughead was interesting with him and some of the serpents playing the game and looking for new quests to go on. Then the blurring on the line between reality and the game was the main thing that was really cool but also confusing. Because I enjoyed how it was shown with Jughead narrating everything the Veronica and Archie were doing as if it was part of the game but it was just weird to see how all those similarities matched up. But seeing everything around the planning on the breakout and how every character played there part and how it all went down was very interesting to see. It was also confusing on the parts with Maddog coming back to life out of nowhere to fight Archie and Joaquin having a mission to stab Archie to gain his freedom. Then I enjoyed the bait and switch they did in order to distract the police and get Archie out of there. The ending was also interesting but confusing with the Warren going through the achenium ceremony and Archie hiding out in the bunker with others taking turns watching over him. Overall this was an entertaining episode that had some good moments to it.

New Amsterdam Season 1 Episode 7 "Domino Effect" Review

With a big domino transplant procedure on the line, Max must decide if he can be present in the hospital while also dealing with his illness. Meanwhile, a bond with a patient makes Bloom consider her personal life and Iggy makes progress on a long-standing case.

This was a really great episode that had some entertaining moments to it and set something up for what is to come. Everything around the transplant chain was interesting with one of the people stepping out and others not wanting to step forth to keep the chain alive. And that slight bit of selfishness was really great were they all brought up why should they help someone else if there own loved one wouldn't get help. Max just working overtime to try and keeping this going and finding a new donor was all just interesting to see. Then the storyline around this little girl with failing lungs because of where she grew up was some of my favorite moments of this episode. Just seeing Bloom relating to this little girl and really being there for her as she is afraid of everything that is going on. And the sudden realization that the father is not a match to save his daughter but he is a match to save transplant chain. That lead to one of the best moments in this episode where all these people stepped up to be tested to save this little girl because her father was willing to step in and help all these other people. Then Iggy working and helping Jenna to adjust to the idea of moving into a new foster family and being there for her every step of the way was just really sweet to see. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and sweet episode to see how everything turned out.

The Flash Season 5 Episode 6 "The Icicle Cometh" Review

Caitlin, Barry, and Cisco learn something new about Caitlin's father; Iris and Sherloque follow a clue about Cicada.

This was a really great and interesting episode that did a really good job of setting up Caitlin's father storyline for possible events in the future. Everything around the discovery of Caitlin's father and the truth about his ALS cure and how it connected to Caitlin was really great. And seeing Caitlin's father having the same sort of Killer Frost side to him was really interesting to see how they choose to approach the idea of which side if her father and which side isn't. Then the whole plot around giving Caitlin's father the cure to remove the Killer Frost side and the problem of making sure they were talking to Caitlin's father and not the other side because if the cure was giving to the Killer Frost side then the cure would kill Caitlin's father. All of that was done really well and how everything turned out with Caitlin's father it really makes me excited to see what might happen if he ever comes back. Then the moments with Iris, Sherloque, and Nora were really great with them showing the growing relationship between Iris and Nora. And the whole moment with Sherloque stepping aside and having Iris and Nora figure out everything on there own was really great. Then just overall this was a really entertaining episode that was so much fun to watch.  

Manifest Season 1 Episode 7 "S.N.A.F.U." Review

 Michaela tries to make sense of her newest calling; Ben goes to risky lengths to investigate the whereabouts of 11 missing Flight 828 passengers.

This was a really interesting episode that had some good moments to it. Everything with Ben was interesting with his new job that is actually him secretly looking for more information on the missing passengers. Just seeing Ben forming all these relationships with his coworkers just to get information out of them was really great. Then finally seeing Vance joining in with the investigation and working with Ben is something I’m really excited to see. Michaela’s moments in this episode was really great with her dealing with this shooting that took place with the only witness not wanting to work with the detectives. And Michaela’s whole speech on what revenge is really like and all her work to stop this kid was really great. Then the truth is revealed about Michaela’s connection to this kid and really felt like a great way to wrap up Michaela’s whole dead friend storyline. Then just overall this was a really great episode that was so much fun to watch.

Magnum P.I. Season 1 Episode 8 "Die He Said" Review

A man dying of lymphoma hires Magnum to find his estranged, bone-marrow-compatible brother who turns out to need Magnum’s help as well.

This was a kind of weird but entertaining episode that had some good moments to it. I really enjoyed the story as a whole around Magnum working to reconnect these two brothers as well as figure out what it is that separated them. Then the whole story around how the events going on with the two brothers and how is very similar to events that went down on a mission that went down in Afghanistan. That made it interesting to see when those similarities popped up and what Magnum did to make sure things didn’t go wrong this time with the bother was great. Then the whole story around the bother that Magnum was hired to track down was a little confusing but still entertaining where the bother stole money from these dealers that were working through the bother and the bothers friend taking off with the money. The confusing part revolved around the scene where the three guys who were tracking the bother down finally turned on each other that was just weird and felt like it was a way to quickly end things. Then the whole story around video between the two bothers was sweet with how it finally played into things and sort of finalizing things. Overall this was a sweet and entertaining episode that was so much fun to watch.

Charmed Season 1 Episode 5 "Other Women" Review

Maggie struggles with whether to tell Lucy the truth; Mel and Harry try to protect Niko; Macy is upset about her situation with Galvin.

This was a really great episode that had some really fun moments to it and it was just a really enjoyable watch. Everything with Maggie was really great with her having to help the friend she is actually hurting. And the whole reveal by the end of the episode was interesting with how Lucy took everything and it will be interesting to see how Maggie might repair there relationship. Then the moments with Macy were also interesting with this mark showing up on Galvin and this mysterious other woman showing up that really has some hypnotic control over Galvin. The whole scene where Macy and Maggie are working to decide if Galvin's new girlfriend is a succubus was really fun with how it all played out. Mel had some great moments with her trying to save Niko from this demon trying to kill Niko as she investigates the death of her partner. Then the decision to rewrite history and make it so that Mel and Niko never met was an interesting way to protect Niko. I'm very curious to see what other consequences might come out of this change to history and what happen with fate doing something that might bring them back together. Then just overall this was a really fun episode that had some entertaining moments.
