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.

The Gifted Season 2 Episode 3 "coMplications" Review
The Inner Circle turns to an unexpected source for help when Polaris' baby suffers from a deadly illness.
This was a really great episode that had a lot of really entertaining moments to it but it also still kind of bugged me because this was again another setup episode that had no real pay off to it. Everything with Thunderbird and Blink was great with them looking for Eirc and getting stuck in this maze because the mutants don't want to be found. Then Blink deciding to help Eirc by spying for him was a great decision in my mind and it makes me really curious to see if eventually Eirc and the rest of his team will help the underground or if Blink will leave to join Eirc and his cause. Then Marco's getting kidnapped in order to help his child was great with how it was all done and what it might have reviled in Marco's saying that they are all under the Frost triplets control and if that is true then the Frost triplets are way more powerful then they originally showed off. The part that bugged me was Dawn's jaundice which was never talked about until this episode because that is a disease that should be known at birth and when she was born they said she was perfectly healthy so where did the jaundice come from. It did, however, lead to some great moments with Marco's being the only one to save his child and having to deal with the side of not wanting to be like his father but having to leave his baby behind or die. Then the moments with Reed and Lauren were great with Lauren finally seeing her fathers powers when he gets stressed out and then dealing with those consequences when they get in a car crash and have to hide from the police. Jace really bugged me in this episode with his hunt for the mutants that made no sense with how the last episode ended for him where he set his mutant-hunting side away to be there for his family and then in this episode he left his wife behind to hunt for the mutants, like where did that change happen. It was like the completely forgot last episode while they were writing this one and that makes no sense. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I'm curious to see where they will take things after what this episode set up.

The Gifted Season 2 Episode 2 "unMoored" Review
Thunderbird hopes a mutant lawyer who recruited him to the Underground can help find the Inner Circle; Andy and Lauren have a shared dream; Reed must keep a secret from the group; Jace is back on the mutants' trail.
This was a really interesting episode that did have some weird moments to it and it left me a little disappointed with how everything was shown. It kind of annoys me how they're still keeping us in the dark about plans and people because we still don't know what the Inner Circle has planned we just see people training and preparing for something but we don't know what and that is kind of annoying. Everything with Andy and Lauren was interesting with there shared vision becoming more clear and it was kind of cool to see it from Any's perspective this time and how the vision affected him and his powers. Then the idea of Andy not being faithful to the Inner Circle was a little weird and overdramatic because all he did was an attempt to check in with his family and see how they are and everyone treated it like he revealed everything. But it was cool how the Inner Circle managed to convince Andy to use his fear and pain he is feeling from these vision as strength to better control his powers. Then the moments with Thunderbird and seeing a tinny bit more of his past was great but I wished they would have gone more into detail of his relationship with this lawyer lady because they seemed to set up a bunch between the two of them but there was little payoff of information on the two of them. I'm very curious to know more about the Ergic person that the lawyer recommended and I can't wait to see how he will help. Reed's powers getting out of control was a cool moment with his powers melting a bunch of stuff. Then the moments with Jace were interesting because he finally worked through some of his emotions and decided to be there for his family more. The ending of this episode was really great with Marco's using a Champaign bottle to shine a green light in the sky for Polaris and her seeing it and then discovering that their baby is having problems. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and interesting episode and I'm very curious to see what will happen next.

The Gifted Season 2 Episode 1 "eMergence" Review
The Mutant Underground rescues a girl from a Sentinel raid, but fails to save her family; Eclipse and Caitlin get info on the Inner Circle with help from a criminal hacker; Polaris prepares for her baby's birth.
This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that did a good job of reintroducing the main characters as well as setting up for the new plots for this season. Everything around the inner circle was really great with them deciding to take out anyone in there group that didn’t follow their ideas. And all there work in trying to create a space that could hold Lorna while she gave birth was great with how the smaller cell she was in was similar to a Magneto prison and it was funny that all the work that they did was for nothing because she went into labor earlier then they wanted. It was also cool to see the underground using Lorna's out of control powers to try and track down where she is. And it was sad when everything stopped and Marcos’s didn’t know what that meant and he wanted to know if the baby and/or Lorna were dead and no one could answer those questions. Everything with the Strucker family was interesting with the visions or dreams that Lauren was having and I’m curious to know if it is a vision of the future and if it is a weird connection between her and Andy and if it is a telocentric connection they have and can use in the future. Reed was great with him dealing with his previous sedated powers finally coming up and I want to know what his powers are like and he has the wolf power all on his own because he doesn’t have any siblings. Catlin and Marcos’s going to the hacker was a messy scene and seemed overacted and made very little sense for all this anger over the little information they got. Then just overall this was a great first episode and I’m curious to see where all the storylines will go.

The Gifted Season 1 Episode 11 "3 X 1" Review
The mutants must decide who they can trust.
This was a really great and interesting episode that had a lot of really great moments to it. I didn't much care for the idea of the Strucker's decided to all the sudden leave and go to Mexico. I especially didn't like it because by the end of the episode they were just back to where they started so their whole trip was kind of pointless. But with that, it was nice to see a different mutant hideout and how it was operated and bringing back a few past characters. Then everything around the Frost triplets was so great because they were done so well with how they work well together and separate. And just how they weaved there way into everyone's mind to find some way to gain everyone's trust was so well done. Then the moments with Polaris in this episode was really interesting with it finally being shown that she knows nothing about her real father and is trying to remain away from the idea of finding out who he is but when the Frost triplets show up and say that they know her father that got her curious. So I'm excited to see how all that will play out and what truths will be revealed. Then the truth being shown of what Dr. Campbell has been working on was really interesting but I'm curious to know more. Like can the combined powers only work if the baseline powers are similar or can he combine any two powers together? Then just overall this was a really entertaining and interesting episode to watch and I'm curious to see what will happen in the season finale.

The Orville Season 1 Episode 12 "Mad Idolatry" Review
The crew crash land on a planet from another universe; Ed and Kelly consider getting back together.
This was a really interesting and entertaining season finale episode that had a lot of really great moments do it. And I really enjoyed the concept that they put out in this episode with them dealing with the rise of this religion around Kelly. And just how the team tried to come up with solutions to get the citizens of this planet away from worshiping Kelly was interesting with all their different attempts that they did to try and fix the problem. Then the whole idea around this planet that they discovered was really cool with them finding out that this planet lives in two dimensions and when it skips between those dimensions the planet's timeline moves ahead about 700 years so that being a problem that the team had to work around was really cool because it was a kind of new idea. Then the final solution that the team came up with to actually fix the problem was well done with them knowing the consequences actions but realizing it's their best solution. Then the whole conversation at the end of the episode was well done with citizens from the planet talking to Kelly and bring up that what she did wasn't necessarily a bad thing because the people on the planet were just looking for an idol to worship and if it wasn't her it would have just been something else so her impact wasn't as big of a deal as they thought. Then the whole part of Ed and Kelly getting back together was an interesting storyline that I'm kind of happy how it turned out. Usually, I'm not a huge fan of the whole will they won't they storylines but I really don't like the idea of them being a couple because it complicates the storyline more with them dealing with their relationship as well as being captain and first officer. And just overall this was a really amazing season finale episode and I'm very excited to see where they're going to take the storyline next now that it has been confirmed for a season 2.
The Gifted Season 1 Episode 10 " eXploited" Review
Jace is forced to hand over something valuable to Dr. Campbell; the team is divided on what they should do next, so Reed and Caitlin take matters into their own hands.
This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that had a lot of really great moments to it. I really enjoyed all the moments with Lauren and Andy and them being asked to show the scientist what their powers do when their combined and the introduction of adamantium and all that stuff around that was just all interesting to see. How Dr. Campbell actually managed to convince Andy and Lauren to combine their powers was really evil and really shows his character's personality and I'm excited to see what's going to happen once the truth comes out to the rest of the underground members. Then when Andy and Lauren actually used their combined powers and what all happened was really amazing to see that their powers are so strong that they can even break through adamantium. Then the moments with Reed and Kate were interesting with them figuring out a way to get through Sentinel services and get their kids back and just how all that worked out was interesting to see. Then the truth coming out about Esme and her sisters and just how all the ending looked was amazing and I'm so excited to see what they're going to do with the triplet clones. And it was interesting how the rest of the underground dealt with Esme as they also they put the pieces together to figure out what she's actually up to. And just overall this was a really entertaining and exciting episode and I'm really excited to see where they're going to take the storyline next.

The Gifted Season 1 Episode 9 "outfoX" Review
The team develops a risky plan to help mutants in Sentinel Service's custody; Reed reveals details about his family history.
This was an okay but kind of boring episode that was a lot of setups but no real important part of it. Because a lot of this episode was dedicated to the team decided to go and break into Sentinel Services and find a way to free all the mutants that are stuck there. And that was just not all that excited I am very excited to see what's going to happen in the next episode now that Lauren and Andy have been caught and will be tested on to see their powers. But otherwise, just that whole set up to them being caught was really kind of boring. And I did enjoy the moment between Reed and Kate where they're talking about Reed's past and him explaining how he was once a mutant and her reaction to that was interesting with her feeling offended that he never told her but then when he clears it up and saying that he didn't even know her reaction changed and that was just really well done. Then I enjoyed the ending with Lauren and Andy and them having the chance to use the combined powers to save themselves but Andy hesitating because the fact that he doesn't want to hurt anyone and that was just interesting to see the sort of character development there. And that it was all so cool and they did have a little flashback moment that showed when Andy and Lauren first combined their powers and I'm not really realizing what it was but that's where to being the trigger moment to get them to both look into their powers in the first place. And then just overall this was a really boring and interesting episode to watch and see how everything played out and I'm interested to see what's going to happen in the next episode.

The Orville Season 1 Episode 11 "New Dimensions" Review
The Orville gets damaged by a spatial anomaly causing harrowing effects to all living things.
This was a really great and interesting episode that had a lot of really fun moments to it. I really enjoyed the set up that they had around this anomaly that the Orville discovered and how the crew dealt with that was really interesting to see. And then once it was actually discovered what this anomaly is and how they decide to deal with that was also interesting. Especially once it came to the ending of this episode where they had to go inside the anomaly to hide from the Krill. Then everything around lieutenant John was interesting with it being discovered that he’s actually really intelligent and Kelly decided that he should get an opportunity to become the new head of engineering and just how all that worked out was interesting to see. With John not really knowing how to be a leader and him figuring out what best leading example works for him. And then everything with Ed was interesting with it finally being discovered that Kelly helped to get him his position and him dealing with that and figure it out how he could carry on with this position knowing that he doesn’t fully deserve it. And then that moment where he made the decision that he was possibly going to sacrifice himself to just prove to himself that he is worthy of being the captain was interesting to see. And then just overall this was a really entertaining and interesting episode to watch and see how everything played out and I’m really excited to see what’s going to happen in the season finale.

The Orville Season 1 Episode 9 "Cupid's Dagger" Review
While the crew attempts to mediate a peace treaty between two warring cultures, tensions rise between Ed and Kelly when a familiar face comes aboard.
This was a really fun and weird episode that had a lot of really interesting moments to it. I really enjoyed all the moments between Ed and Kelly and them struggling with their newfound relationship when they’re and joined by the person who originally tore them apart. And the whole sort of thing around this old acquaintance of theirs was interesting to see how it all turned out once the truth was revealed about what was going on that was causing several the crew members to act out of place. And I just really enjoy the moment where Ed went to the meeting to try and do the peace talks between the two warring cultures and he just wasn’t there because he was focused on other things than just that was really entertaining to watch. And then I also really enjoy the final moment when Kelly brought up that when she was cheating on Ed with this other guy and she wanted to know if he was in heat then so she would know if she didn’t actually have feelings for him or what was actually going on there and the fact that he didn’t answer that fully was really interesting. And then how they actually solve the problem of the two warring cultures was an interesting way to sort of wrap things up but I wish they would have done it better because once everything wore off they would be at war again probably because nothing on the planet was actually resolved. And I kind of wish that the artifact that was being examined was actually the cause of everyone acting weird and not the guy researching it so then the artifact would have played a more important role in this episode. And then the truth coming out of who this artifact actually belongs to I could easily see coming so it was entertaining to see that finally come true and the fact that the two cultures still had to share the planet by the end of all this. And just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode to watch.

The Gifted Season 1 Episode 6 "got your siX" Review
Thunderbird spears a mission to get answers about what happened to his friend; Lauren encounters a new friend with useful powers.
This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that had a lot of great moments to it. I really liked how in this episode they introduced a bunch of other teenage mutants and had them showing off their powers and training on how to use their powers. And it was really interesting how they finally made some sort of connection to the X-Men which was with Thunderbird stating that the X-Men put him in charge of protecting all these mutants and creating of the Underground. So I'm really curious to see how that might come out or play in the future of Thunderbird storyline and I'd really like to see that connection between him and the X-Men. Then the whole mission with Eclipse and Reed going into the New Orleans state house to get all these files on the mutants that were sent there was interesting with how it was all shown and how it was all done. I didn't much care for Andy in this episode because the fact of how overconfident he seem to some extent where he thinks that he can solve every problem with his abilities and I did like that they did have the moment where Reed tried to talk him out of trying to fix their problems and yes he did come in handy during the break into the state house but he just thinks that he's better than he actually is and in my opinion he still needs some training. With that it was a little weird in the past episodes he seemed so unable to control his powers but in this episode seem to master it like he's known how to use his powers for years when he's only had his powers for a couple weeks so that was a little weird. I did really enjoy the scene where Polaris is training some of the mutants to use their abilities to fight and how Kate jumped in there to try and stop her what's interesting even though I still really don't like the character of Kate because she just never seems to learn anything. Where she gets all this information about what life is like for a mutant and stuff like that but then she just keeps saying that everything will get better with time and I just don't understand that mindset. Then the scene where Reed and Eclipse are heading back to the compound but end up running into a giant police barrier was really great seeing how everything was fixed but I definitely wish that they would have shown a bit more of what Polaris was doing because they did show some things where she was stopping the bullets from hitting the bus but there were so many going off that I have a hard time believing that she could truly stop all them. Then I'm very curious to know what's going on with Turner now that he is working with this doctor who is doing a bunch of research on mutants and I really want to know what this doctor wants with the Strucker children. And then just overall this was really entertaining and fun episode to watch.

The Orville Season 1 Episode 7 "Majority Rule" Review
Kelly leads a team to find two missing Union anthropologists on a planet similar to Earth.
This was a really interesting and fun episode that had a lot of really great moments to it. Now to start off as I was watching this episode it reminded me a lot of the Black Mirror episode Nosedive where this whole society that they're trying to fit into bases everything off of a like system and in order to fit into certain places in society you need a certain amount of likes. But with that, I did really like what this episode did wear when you get a certain amount of dislikes big problems start to happen to you where they will take you to a place that will essentially reprogram your brain to become a vegetable. And when you do get this big traffic of dislikes you have to go on essentially a press tour to try and prove yourself as likable that was all really interesting and done really well. And I really enjoyed the whole final scene where they are trying to make lieutenant John likable to the public by posting a bunch of stuff about him that would make him seem popular. Then just overall this was a really great and fun episode to watch and see how everything turned out.

The Gifted Season 1 Episode 4 "eXit strategy" Review
The mutants devise a plan to take down Sentinel Services; Eclipse looks to an old friend to obtain information; Lauren and Andy attempt to combine their powers to help the group.
It was a really great and entertaining episode that was so much fun to see how everything turned out and how they fix all the problems that they faced. And I really like the moments between Lauren and Andy in this episode and them figuring out a way to combine their powers to make them into a stronger force where Andy's powers are used for its destructive ability and then Lauren's powers are there to sort of guide Andy's. I just really like that because as I've said before their powers are really interesting because they're so similar but also really different. Then the whole plan to actually try and stop the Sentinel security trucks bringing Reed and Polaris to there high-security prison was really interesting to see all the different problems that they faced when their plans to go quite right. And I really loved the introduction of this other mutant who is a friend of Thunderbird and this other mutants ability is to sort of stop other mutants from using their abilities so that was interesting how Sentinel security was using mutants to sort of helping them. And then just the whole action sequence of everyone trying to get in and stop the Sentinel security was just so interesting and fun to see how every single one of the main characters played into it. Then the moments between Polaris and Reed in this episode were really interesting with how they started out not wanting to work with each other because Polaris sees Reed as the enemy but then when it came down to it they learn to work together and I'm just really interested to see how that might work in Reed's favor in the future. And then just overall this was a really amazing and entertaining episode watch and see and I'm really excited to see where the story go now that everyone's back together.

Gotham Season 4 Episode 5 "The Blade's Path" Review
Nygma uses Butch to regain power and identity; Sofia Falcone appeals to Penguin's vulnerable side; Bruce makes bold moves with the dagger in his possession.
This was a really interesting and great episode that left a lot of doors open for where they could take the story. Everything around Bruce this episode was really interesting with him going up against Ra's al Ghul and he sort of figures out more what his possible destiny is and what Ra's al Ghul wants from him. And with how this episode ended I'm very curious to know what they're going to do with the story because they seem to be putting such an emphasis on Ra's al Ghul being around that it would be interesting to see what they're going to do now because they essentially killed him off so he's not there to train Bruce like in the classic sense so maybe he needed Bruce to kill him to like gain more power or something and eventually he'll come back and a reincarnated form or something because it seems so weird for them to just introduce him and then kill him off few episodes later. But then everything Penguin and Sophia were really great with Sophia doing everything I thought she would do and trying to gain Penguins trust and have him on her side too then eventually turn on him and that I'm really excited to see. And then everything with Nygma in this episode was really interesting with how they chose to bring back Butch and have him be Solomon Grundy which is a Gotham character I'm not that familiar with so I'm very interested to see what they're going to do with that storyline and it definitely is a storyline that I'm much more interested in seeing if that's going to be the redemption storyline that seems to be that I'm kind of okay with it. So overall this was a really entertaining and interesting episode and I'm really excited to see where they're going to take the storyline next.

The Gifted Season 1 Episode 3 "eXodus" Review
In an attempt to reunite, Reed makes a deal with the Sentinel Services while Caitlin and the kids get help from someone outside the compound.
This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that had a lot of really great moments and a lot of very nice character development for some of the different characters. I really liked what they did with Reed in this episode with him going through all this different stuff with Sentinel security to try and find a way to get himself inside the Mutant Underground so then the Sentinel security can go in and capture them all. And then watching his development as he realizes himself that these mutants are not enemies they're still humans at the end of the day that still has feelings and there still people so him changing his tone and going on the side of the mutants because his kids and his family has just got to accept that they are mutants. So I kind of can't wait to see what they're going to do with him because they kind of hinted at him going to a high-security prison with another mutant which hopefully is Polaris so then all the different storylines can finally interconnect. Then the moments with Kate going out and trying to find help for her family away from the underground was interesting with how her brother was very afraid of them at first because of how much his character developed as the episode went on and he remembered that this is his family. Then it was interesting to see how the two kids reacted to what has happened to there home since they left. Everything around Blink was really interesting with her not really knowing how to control her powers and Thunderbird trying to find a way to help her. Then it was interesting to finally see what Dreamer can do because of how her powers work where she can like transfer memories into peoples heads and just have them gain completely fake memories. Then the two name drops in the conversation between Thunderbird and Dreamer makes me really curious to know what happened to the two people Dreamer messed with because I know there is a Walker in the x-men universe where I think he was possessed by a demon or something like that but then I don't remember an Eve so maybe those two people might show up at some time hopefully. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and great episode that was so much fun to watch and I'm curious to see what will happen next.

Gotham Season 4 Episode 4 "The Demon's Head" Review
Bruce puts the lives of a Gotham Natural History Museum historian and his grandson in danger as he attempts to discover the meaning behind his knife from the auction.
This was a really interesting and okay episode that had a lot of really entertaining moments in the episode. I really liked how in the beginning of this episode they had a bunch of hints as to what the grandson would do just put into the conversation between the historian and Bruce. The two guys who were put in charge by Ra's al Ghul to track down the knife were really weird because they really seemed possessed by something and were really hard to understand why they were there besides to add more obstacles for Bruce. Then it was made even more confusing once it was shown where the knife was actually hiding because at some point I thought it was stated that those two weird people had some kind of connection to the knife so why were they following the grandson and Bruce around instead of following the trail right to the knife. I did really like that Gordon was kind of finally introduced to what Bruce and Alfred have been up to. And it was really cool to see Gordon be introduced to Ra's al Ghul and what story Ra's al Ghul made up as to why he needs the knife saying that he was a historian and wanted to bring the old culture back to his country, and everything was going nicely until Alfred came in and ruined everything. Then the moments between Penguin and Sofia were really great and I’m pretty sure it was hinting at future events when Sofia was talking about how her father used to handle business because I think that is what Sofia is going to do with both Penguin and Gordon where she is going to be there best friend until she gains their trust enough that she turns on them. Then the moments between Penguin and Nygma were great with Penguin choosing to leave Nygma to suffer the loss of his mind. And the whole story they seem to be putting out there that there is going to be this whole storyline around Nygma gaining back his abilities to me doesn’t seem like that exciting of a story to watch unless something cool happens. I did really love the conversation between Nygma and Penguin where Penguin kept referring to Nygma and the Riddler as two different people and said the Nygma can never be the Riddler again but the fact that he never called the Riddler by his name but instead kept referring to the Riddler as him was just so great. And just overall this was a really interesting and entertaining episode to watch and I’m curious to see where they will go from here.
The Orville Season 1 Episode 6 "Krill" Review
Ed and Gordon are sent on an undercover mission to infiltrate a Krill ship and obtain a copy of their bible.
This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that was a little different because they had no side story in this episode all the focus was on Ed and Gordon. It did feel a little long and boring at some moments because there were no cutaways to other things going on that much. But watch the two of them being disguised as Kill and trying to fit in on board the ship was really fun. Then I really liked how the one Krill who was like the religious leader on board the ship had suspicions about Ed and Gordon right away so it was interesting to see how this one Krill was always right on Ed and Gordon’s tail waiting for them to do something wrong. Then I really loved when they compared the Krill to vampires because of the fact that the Krill’s home planet is in complete darkness so they don’t do well in light and making that comparison to vampires was really great. And I really liked how while on board the ship Ed and Gordon made friends with one Krill who helped give them information on how to be Krill and how things on board the ship work. Then the ending was great where the one Krill that they saved a bunch of children Krill made the comment the children who they saved will never see them as heroes but instead will forever see them as monsters because of all the people they killed. Then just overall this was really entertaining and fun episode to watch.

The Gifted Season 1 Episode 2 "rX" Review
Caitlin and Eclipse try to help Blink when her powers exceed their limits.
This was a really great and interesting episode that had a lot of really great moments to it. I did like all the moments with Reed and him being interrogated by The Sentinel security and then I'm trying to threaten him or come up with some sort of case against him so that he had to tell them what he knew. And it was really interesting to see how Reed sort of kept calm and kept talking around every single threat that they gave him. The ending was interesting but I don't think it's going to work out the way that he wants it too because at the end of the day his kids are still mutants so they will eventually catch these kids for something some way or another so his deal to give up the mutant underground for his kids safety probably won't work out the way he wants. And I am very curious to see what's going to happen once he does eventually give up the mutant underground if he is or if he's going to lie or anything there I'm very curious to see. And then everything around Kate was really interesting even though she's still probably my least favorite character because she's still so panicky and freaked out about everything. But this episode was really nice to sort of developer her more for me to actually care about her because in this episode she sort of learned more and more what life is like being a mutant and how she is very special because she chose to stand by her children even after she found out that they were mutants which is not a common thing. So it was nice to see a bit of development of her especially near the end of this episode where she ran in and became the hero. I am very curious to know what the connection is between Blink in the road that one of her portals kept leading to whenever she'd had a seizure because when Thunderbird ask her she kind of seemed to try and avoid the question so I'm curious to know what the truth is about that. And then all the moments with Polaris where interesting to see her sort of developing to life in prison but also still sticking up for herself and try and understand what she can and can't do because of the shock collar on her neck. And then I really really love this scene where she's in the shower and you finally see like all the black hair dye fade away to show her classic green hair. I was originally fine with what they did do with the green detail in her black hair but the fact that they dedicated a scene showing the classic hair and having that be her baseline hair now I'm really happy about that. And just overall this was a really interesting and really entertaining episode and I'm very curious to see where they'll go next.

The Orville Season 1 Episode 5 "Pria" Review
Ed becomes smitten with the captain of a stranded ship, but Kelly suspects all is not what it seems.
This was a really entertaining and interesting episode that got a little confusing and hard to follow but still, it was interesting to see how everything turned out. I really liked what they did with the character of Pria she was really interesting to see how her whole story played out and how she was portrayed and what they had her do was just all really interesting. Then the truth about Pria was a weird twist of events and the whole idea of time travel and changing history was a little weird and hard to follow in my opinion. Because they talked about how if Pira wasn't there to help them everyone on the Orville would have died and because on history they can't go around being alive. Which is odd to me because once Pria did save the Orville all of that original timeline kind of got thrown out the window so it shouldn't have mattered as much as they put it out there as mattering. I did like the moments with Kelly in this episode with her realizing that something is not right with Pira so she is kind of trying to figure out if what she is doing is because she wants to protect the ship or out of jealousy for Ed affection towards Pria. And I loved the moment once everything was settled where Ed and Kelly had a conversation and decided that from now on they would trust each other for the safety of the ship and not let there past history get in the way as much. Then the moments between Isaac and Gordon were fun with Gordon trying to teach Isaac about humor and he tries to show Isaac about pranks and when Isaac tries to get back at him things don't go as planned and all that was just really funny. Then how the team actually got the ship back from Pria was really fun with how they communicated with each other without Pria catching on. And just overall this was a really fun and entertaining episode and I'm really excited to see what will happen next.

Gotham Season 4 Episode 3 "They Who Hide Behind Masks" Review
Gordon travels to Miami hoping to convince Carmine Falcone to help him fight the Penguin, only to have his daughter follow him back to Gotham.
This was a really interesting and okay episode that did have some really great moments to it. I was a little disappointed that this episode had nothing to do with Scarecrow because he was the main part of this beginning half of this season that I'm looking forward to. There was a lot of focus on Bruce in this episode which was alright because there were some okay moments. I did like how all of this episode was very Bruce's focus and how it all tied back to Ra's al Ghul with one of the main things being around Bruce needing to obtain a knife that Ra's al Ghul also wants. I especially enjoyed those moments because it also hinted that maybe Barbra's mysterious benefactor is Ra's al Ghul because she is also on a quest to obtain this knife. And I really want to know what this knife does because when Barbra is confronted by a league member they seem really happy that Bruce has the knife. And I want to know if Barbra was resurrected in the Lazarus pit and fit she has trained with Ra's al Ghul and has some of his fight skills. Then all the moments with Gordon in Miami was really interesting especially in the moments with Sofia and she seems like such an interesting character that I really excited to see what she is going to do in Gotham. And I really don't believe what Sofia was saying where she forgave Gordon for killing her brother I think she will work with him for a time but eventually, she will get her revenge. And just overall this was a really entertaining and interesting episode to watch and see how everything turned out.
