Supergirl Season 2 Episode 21 "Resist" Review
Supergirl struggles to decide with whether or not to obey the President's orders regarding Rhea's latest actions. Meanwhile, Cat Grant returns to National City.
This was a really great and entertaining episode that had a lot of really fun moments in it. I really liked that they finally came out and showed that the president is an alien and had everyone react to that but also keeping it a secret from the rest of the public. And I really liked that tugs that Kara had to deal with because she knew blowing up the ship Rhea is on is the best option but in doing that she is killing her best friend and her love. I also liked how they brought Cadmus back in this episode with them having their own agenda to save Lena. But still, it was kind of cool to see Cadmus and supergirl working together to achieve the same mission. I loved the conversation between Kara and Lilian about telling Lena the truth about Kara being supergirl and how both sides had their reasons to not tell her because they both knew there would be a big blow out when the truth did come out and Lilian thinks that will be the one opportunity to finally get Lena on her side. Then I liked how the team was kind of split up with Guardian on the ground protecting the people from the alien invasion, Maggie and Alex setting up the laser to destroy all the ships, and supergirl going and trying to save her friends before the ship is destroyed. I loved how they brought Cat back into the mix with her just sort of popping back into the mix. And I loved that she was around to be the voice of guidance for supergirl as well as the citizens of National City. And just overall this was a really great and fun episode and I'm so excited for the finale with superman coming in to join the fight.

Agents of SHIELD Season 4 Episode 16 "What If..." Review
Daisy and Simmons uncover secrets and lies in a world gone mad. With Hydra in control, they are our only hope to save everyone.
This was a really interesting and great episode that going into it I really didn't know what to expect and it was so entertaining to watch. I was wondering what they were going to do with Simmons since in the last episode they showed her as dead in the framework. I was really interesting how everyone fit into this framework world and how each of them reacted when confronted by either Daisy or Simmons. All the Simmons parts were really great with her wandering around seeming like a crazy person and getting into a whole bunch of trouble because of it. I'm curious to know why in this perfect world for everyone the world is run by Hydra and is all evil, why did Aida think that was the best option. I'm still not all that happy about the idea of Ward being back because I really just want his character to die and finally stay dead, the actor who plays him is really great but it is annoying that every season they have to find some way to bring him back into things. I really like the idea that Aida is in control both inside and outside the mainframe and I can't wait to see how that will all play out. The ending of this episode was really great with Daisy getting one of the tea members remember who they are. And just overall this was a really entertaining episode and I can't wait to see what they will do next.

Once Upon a Time Season 5 Episode 23 "An Untold Story" Review
Regina and Emma set out to find Henry before Gold does. Meanwhile, Snow, David, Hook, and Zelena are imprisoned.
This was an okay episode but not as great as I was expecting it to be for being a season finale. It did have some very good moments with this but there weren't as many of those moments as this whole episode should have had I feel. I didn't really like all the moments with snow and charming in those characters in the Land of Untold Stories and them working with Jekyll to try and get rid of Hyde. Then it was really cool actually have that moment where Jekyll and Hyde were separated and just seeing a bit of how that would all play out because if I remember right it does happen in the play but not as dramatically as it does in this episode. But with all this Jekyll and Hyde and very curious as to where Emma and Lucy are as I don't think there in the books but they are in the play and fairly important characters so I'm wondering if they might make an appearance at all in Once Upon A Time in the next season or if they're just stick with the book characters. All the parts where the characters were in New York I really didn't care for the whole plot it didn't make much sense and Henry just seems so determined to try and get rid of magic and then when he did want it back almost instantly, and I understood why they decided to put that way but still it wasn't that great of an idea. However, I did really enjoy the scene with them the wishing fountain and how Henry for the briefest of moments got everyone in New York to believe in magic. Then the somewhat ending where the evil queen decides to separate herself from Regina, or I guess all the way around, was interesting but I didn't really care for and now with what is coming in the future because of that choice I care for the decision even less. Overall this was an okay episode there are some moments I really liked but it just wasn't my favorite of episodes.

Scorpion Season 2 Episode 23 "Toby or Not Toby" Review
The team races against time to stop an unstable ex-member of Scorpion, Mark Collins who kidnaps and threatens to kill Toby if his demands are not met.
This was a really great season finally episode because it was just really all about the team and not adding any new or extra people going to a far over and different location. The whole kidnapping of Toby was interesting with the fact of how it all went down, and I thought that Toby had dropped the ring along with his phone but I guess that turned out to not be true.But the fact that Sylvester was the only one besides Toby to know about Toby's plans was a little weird in my mind because out of all the characters I feel Sylvester would have the hardest time trying to keep a secret, and he defiantly did. Then Marks whole plan was very interesting with the fact that he really didn't want anything he just wanted to destroy the team and prove that they have changed since he has left. His whole Jigsaw like trap was really fun especially when the team finally figured out a way around it. Then the "torture" scene with Toby was really cool with how it was done but not as fun with how quickly the rest of the team figured out it was fake. The ending was really sad at moments but also really sweet at others, even though I'm still not a big fan of the idea of Walter and Paige potentially becoming a couple. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for the next season.

Gotham Season 2 Episode 22 "Transference" Review
While Gordon, Bruce, and Lucius remain at Indian Hill, the city of Gotham will be met with a new threat as Hugo Strange's inmates devise a plan to escape and start their new lives in Gotham.
This was really great episode especially a really great episode to end the season on. I did like the whole sort of plot in this episode was to get the last of the experiment out of Arkham and then to blow it up. I was especially happy when it got to the point that I kind of been waiting half a season for which if the fight between Firefly and Mr.Freeze. I felt the scene could have been done a bit better but ti still was a really great moment in of itself. But I'm curious to know if they survived what they did to each other because the scene showed them starting to fight but then really didn't show them again at all. Then the fake Gordon going back to the GCPD was very fun to see, but ti was also kind of odd with the fact that everyone seemed to realize that something was off with Gordon but they didn't seem to question any of it. And the fact that it took Barbra showing up for them to realize that it wasn't Gordon. Then with that, the moment with Penguin felt a little odd and out of place and like they just wanted to put Penguin in this final episode but it didn't serve much of a purpose besides getting Barbra to the GCPD with a reason to be there. Then the ending was really great to see all this massive fear now that Fish Moony is back and the realized of all these monsters. I'm still not a big fan of the future Poison Ivy storyline because of the fact of how they are going about suddenly making her much older. But I am curious to see how that sudden gain in age might affect her relationship with Selina. Then there decision to add in Jerome's laugh as the monsters were leaving the bus makes me hopeful that he might be back soon, even with Cameron saying see you in a season or two. I feel they are going to keep Jerome on the backburner until the viewers might drop a bit and then bring him in to make people excited for the show again. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for the next season starting next week.

Arrow Season 4 Episode 23 "Schism" Review
Oliver teams up with a surprising force in an attempt to stop Damien Darhk and his magic once and for all.
This was a really great and interesting episode that was basically all about wrapping everything up. The whole idea of Lyla sending a group of normal people into Darhk layer to try and kill him seemed really kind of stupid and just gave him, even more, power. Then the opening where Darhk tried to get Felicity to come and work for him was interesting but it was mostly about giving Darhk back his daughter and stealing Felicity's computer. Then the getting off of the nukes was interesting with how all of the nukes seemed to be going to kind of random places all over the world. But it did create a really good moment with Oliver speaking to the citizens of Star City and reminding them that they have survived so much already, and all they need to do is stick together. Then Felicity actually coming up with a way to stop the nukes seemed a little odd to me because it was so last moment of a decision. Then the final fight scene between Oliver and Darhk was great with Oliver gaining control of some light magic because all the citizens of Star City believe in him. The ending where everyone breaks off to go rethink their lives and stuff like that was very interesting to see but I don't think it will last too long into the next season. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for the next season.

The Flash Season 2 Episode 23 "The Race of His Life" Review
After Zoom reveals his true plan, Barry vows to do whatever it takes to stop him.
This was a really great episode that had some turns to it that I wasn't expecting. I did like that the rest of the team decided to lock Barry up for the fact that he was being too emotional at the time because of the death of his father, and if Barry went out there and tried to face Zoom like that then he probably would have ended up dead. Then the team going out and trying to face Zoom without Barry was very interesting in how they went about doing it and in my mind for Catlin's part I went back and forth for a bit on whether or not she was a hologram. But the whole idea of how they decided to get Joe back when he got pulled in with Zoom was kind of stupid, because it was just like they all said that they wouldn't reopen the portals but because Barry and Wally didn't agree to that decision somehow it is okay for all of them to break that agreement. Zoom's whole secret plan in my mind was not all that great and I think it might have been slightly better if Team Flash didn't already know everything about it because for so long now Zoom has been keeping it a secret just to wind up having Team Flash already know everything about it. Having the clone runners was fun with both Zoom and Flash doing it at some point in the episode. The final part of showing who the man was in the metal mask was great but not as much of a surprise to me because one of my friends spoiled it for me, but still, it was really nice. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait to see what the next season will bring.

Agents of SHIELD Season 3 Episode 22 "Ascension" Review
In the conclusion to "Absolution," S.H.I.E.L.D. must spring into action to combat Hive.
This was a really great episode to wrap up all that has gone on in this season and the episode was actually pretty well organized for all the stuff they needed to wrap up in this episode. I really kind of liked that the whole episode had Daisy as the sort of lead. The beginning of the episode where Daisy is trying to be taken back by Hive was interesting with the fact that he wanted to but couldn't, because how I originally thought it would go was that he would just straight up go and say no to her pleas because she left him. The doctor Radcliffe was great in this episode for the fact that he really is just there to get blamed for everything and look lost. I don't know how I feel about Yo-yo pulling a Quicksilver and getting hit by a bunch of bullets to save a friend, but at least in this instant, Yo-yo did say that she tried to catch them but wasn't fast enough. Instead of being like Quicksilver and being fast enough to catch the bullets but for some reason didn't. The moment where Coulson was talking to Hive was really great too with the true comment that the team rarely ever listens to is order if they go against what they think is right, and the ending Star Wars reference was the greatest. Bringing back in Daisy's vision of the future where she saw an agent dying out in space was really well done in how it was organized and drops little symbolic hints of who it might be. Then, in the end, having Hive on the ship with that dying agent was a nice way to wrap everything up with his part in the story, but it also felt odd that that was the only way they could come up with to actually kill Hive. Overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait to see what the next season will bring in with the introduction of Ghost Rider.
Gotham Season 2 Episode 21 "A Legion of Horribles" Review
Hugo Strange welcomes a familiar face to Gotham after he resurrects Fish Mooney in Indian Hill. Meanwhile, Bruce discovers a friend is in danger and teams up with Gordon, Alfred, and Lucius while uncovering more of his experiments.
This was a very interesting episode that I really don't know how I feel about it. This whole episode was really about Bruce and Gordon breaking into Arkham to find Selina and to hopefully stop Stange once and for all. but this, of course, didn't go as planned and they ended up getting captured. Which was interesting in how it made it seem like Strange knew from the very beginning that they were all there and why they were there and he just let them believe that they had the upper hand over him for the first time but that was not true. And the fact that Strange finally let Strange join the team and be the one to interrogate Lucius and Bruce make me very curious to see what he might do to them in the next episode. The person who was resurrected at the beginning of this episode was weird at first but once the episode showed him again near the end it made a bit more sense and I can't wait to see what this new imposter Gordon might do. Fish Mooney was great in this episode for the little bit that she was in it and I really enjoy her possible new ability. Selina and Fireflies scenes were really great as well and I kind of can't wait to see them again in the next episode now that they are working together. Overall this was an okay episode and I can't wait to see the next one.
Arrow Season 4 Episode 22 "Lost in the Flood" Review
Following the shocking events in the previous episode, Oliver and Diggle race to rescue Thea, while Felicity, Curtis, and Noah join together to stop Darhk.
This was a very interesting and exciting episode that really to some degrees could have been the season finally in itself. So this episode is finally about the rest of team Arrow realizing that Thea being gone so long and not answering her phone might be a problem, so they finally go out and try and find her. And the one entrance that was shown to lead into Darhk's secret underground town was a little weird to me with how all the entrances seem designed and the location of this one entrance to everything else in that underground town. Because when they eventually leave at the end of this episode they leave from the same tunnel they came in, so from all the different locations they went to underground how far away was that entrance from them especially at the end when everything is falling apart around them. The part with Thea having to take one of the yellow pills seemed really off to me because it was definitely a necessary scene to explain her character for this episode, but the way the scene was done was just weird and kind of awkward. Anarky in this episode was really great and again really fun to see. And the fact that he got away again makes me really excited to see him again in the future. All the parts with Felicity and her family were kind of fun, especially the scene where Felicity left Curtis alone with them. The part with Felicity's mother saying that they are the ones who actually ran away from her father and not the other way around seem really interesting to me for some reason. Then also bringing back Felicity's old hacker ex-boyfriend in this episode was a little fun. But I felt that with the fact that her ex mostly uses stolen code from her that she could easily code around it, and it seemed like there was a bit of that but mostly they just seemed to be going toe to toe and Curtis is the one who managed to beat him. Overall I really loved this episode and it is definitely going on my favorites list.

The Flash Season 2 Episode 22 "Invincible" Review
Zoom unleashes an army of Earth-2 meta-humans, the leader of which is Black Canary's doppelganger, Black Siren; Joe worries when Wally goes out to help The Flash.
This was a very interesting episode that at first some things kind of confused me. One of the main things was when Henry was talking about Zooms plans and what he did to Earth-2 in past episodes and he said that Zoom gathered all these random meta-humans and now he's doing it again. I though what he meant was that Zoom was gathering meta-humans from Barry's earth and that was who we saw with Zoom at the end of the last episode, but it turns out they are just the meta-humans from Earth-2 so what about all the meta-humans on Barry's Earth, where are they. I agree with most of the team that Barry's attitude in this episode was a little annoying with how confident and happy he was like nothing could hurt him, meanwhile the city around him is crumbling. I did really like seeing a darker Laurel and her running around the city with her meta-human mutation basically being her screech device that Barry's Earth's Laurel had but this time it is really just her voice. I also really liked the scene where Caitlin and Cisco dress up as their Earth-2 doppelgangers to try and distract Laurel, and it worked for a bit. The ending of this episode was amazing and I can't wait to see what the next episode will bring.

Once Upon a Time Season 5 Episode 22 "Only You" Review
Regina grieves over Robin Hood's death and Henry sets out to destroy all magic.
This was a very interesting episode that I don't know how I feel about it. I'm not saying it was bad, but it defiantly was a Once Upon a Time finally where it is broken up into two parts so really this whole episode is just setup for what all will happen in a much better second part in the next episode hopefully. I agree with Regina on how Emma was treating her in this episode that it is not fair that when Emma is sad and grieving she and continue on and everyone is on her side, but when Regina is sad everyone thinks she should sit on the sidelines and they are afraid of her and afraid that she might become the evil queen again. Both Rumpelstiltskin and Henry's plans seemed really kind of weird and not thought out in my mind. Just Rumpelstiltskin on a quest to become more powerful and save Belle I just really don't know what I think of that plan. Then with Henry, it was nice to see him taking matters into his own hand and it was cool to see magic in the real world and all of that. But it just seemed so much like Henry was pulling on random strings here and there and the writers were just trying to bring things back into play and make everything have a reason. I also really like all the parts with Snow, Charming, Zelena, and Hook, especially the introduction of a new world and some new characters. And I recognized part of one of the new charterers right away but figuring out which part he is and who the other part is was a surprise and I hope to see even more of both parts in the future. Even though I don't know how I feel about what seems to be a change in the cause of their problems being possibly because of magic instead of science. But that thought of mine could be wrong and the magic part of his life could just be because of the world the writers put this character in. Overall I really like this episode and I can't wait to sit down and see what the second part will bring.
Agents of SHIELD Season 3 Episode 21 "Absolution" Review
It's a showdown a season in the making as S.H.I.E.L.D. takes on Hive, and when his master plan is finally revealed, the team must spring into action.
This was a really interesting episode that did a really good job of keeping a good flow and seemed to go by really quick. It was interesting that for this whole episode they kept Daisy in basically quarantine while she got over her withdrawal from Hive. Which that was nice to see both sides of people like Simmons who was following the quarantine rules and then people like Mack to broke the rules just to fully make sure she was okay. The part in the beginning of the episode between Simmons and Daisy was also kind of sad when Daisy made the comment that they are only sending Simmons in to check on her because Simmons is the only Daisy didn't hurt in some way while she was under control by Hive. Then the whole scene where some of the team was at the mission launch base had some really great and funny moments. Like the moment when Fitz is trying to get the codes to stop the launch followed by Radcliffe talking to the new forms of the Watchdog agents to try and figure out a way to restart the launch. Then the moment between Yo-yo and Mack was great with Yo-yo complaining about how slow Mack is working and then at the last minute she quickly finished everything and handed it off to Lincoln to give the machine an electric charge instead of finishing the work to plug it into the wall like I think the original plan might have been if they were given more time. Then I wonder how they thought taking Hive back to the base was ever going to be a good idea. And in this episode, it defiantly had the moment of to much good stuff happened in the beginning that there had to be some bad at the end to even it out, which there was plenty. And the twist ending with Daisy makes me very curious where the final episode might take them. Overall I really loved this episode and it had a lot of great parts to it.

Once Upon a Time Season 5 Episode 21 "Last Rites" Review
Emma, David, Regina, Robin and Henry are finally back home in Storybrooke and reunited with Snow, but, unfortunately, they still have to contend with Hades, who continues to deceive Zelena as he lays out his plan to use the all-powerful Olympian Crystal to take over the town. The heroes desperately search for a way to defeat Hades while Hook does the same in the Underworld, looking for those missing storybook pages. Regina and Robin take a more direct approach, which culminates in an epic showdown that will leave our heroes forever changed.
This was a very interesting episode really all about Hades rise and fall of power, and really just about the team all getting readjusted back in Storybrooke. I really like that this episode primary focused on Hades and Zelena to help and show Zelena's change in opinion of Hades and really having her finally come to the conclusion on her own that no matter how hard she tries she really can not change Hades. It was also really cool to see the Olympian Crystal and here about what it could do because that is a magical artifact that I'm not all the familiar with so I'm curious if it is a real part of the Greek lore or if it is something that the writers made up to give Hades more power. Having Emma be in denial and her running around and not really listening to anyone I really didn't care for and after so much of it, I started to get a little annoyed. All the parts with Hook and Arthur in the underworld were really great especially with all the other characters commenting on how they are on a bro-venture together, which it really was. The change of making Arthur into the new ruler of the underworld felt a little weird to me, but it could easily be because I'm still so used to Arthur being a hero so this villain Arthur that this show has is still really different to me. The scene where Hook meets Zeus was fun and I like that they didn't make Zeus a really big mussel man like some other depictions of Zeus have been. The ending between Regina and Robin was really sad but I hope with how it ended for Zelena as well that this sadness that they both now share will help to bring them even closer. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and it had some great parts to it.
Arrow Season 4 Episode 21 "Monument Point" Review
When Team Arrow learns what Damien Darhk’s
next move is, Felicity realizes she needs to ask her father, Noah
Kuttler, for help. Noah and Oliver have a heart to heart talk that
leaves Oliver rattled.
This was a really great episode that ran pretty smoothly but there were some parts that felt a little long to me. I really did enjoy the idea of bringing Felicity’s father back into the mix with the idea that he is the only one smart enough to be able to stop the nuclear launches of all the nukes in the world. Then also having Darhk be well aware of this fact that Noah is the only one who can stop him so he has a bunch of hitmen sent after him. The fact that Felicity is getting kicked out of Palmer Tec felt a little weird to me with the timing of it all, but it did make for a really cool break in scene where team arrow has to steal some technology from Palmer Tec. When one of the nukes wasn’t stopped in time was also a little weird for the fact that it took Felicity forever to decide to move some satellites to trick the nuke into landing somewhere other then it’s designated location, because I feel if she had decided to do that sooner she could have landed it somewhere with a lot fewer people then where it eventually did fall. The first part where Malcolm coming and talking to Thea was nice because I kind of had forgotten about his plan to save Thea and that’s the reason she is down there and not just because of Alex. All the parts with Thea and Anarky were really great especially their final little fighting scene. But it was a little weird with Thea finally exposing her identity to Lonnie because now unless something more permeate happened to Anarky I feel he is always going to be on Thea’s tail. It is also a little weird with how little the rest of the team seems to focus on the fact that Thea is missing because they did bring up needing to call her back into the loop but they don’t talk in any scenes after about how they are unable to reach her or anything like that. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can’t wait for the next one.

The Flash Season 2 Episode 21 "The Runaway Dinosaur" Review
Iris volunteers to act as the bait in a plan to trap Girder in S.T.A.R. Labs; Barry struggles to go back to his old life.
This was a really great and interesting episode that was really in two parts. I did kind of like that for most of this episode they kept Barry separate from the rest of the group and had him working with the Speed Force to figure out what really made Barry be Barry. And I did like the parts where Barry is trying to chase after his own speed and failing miserably, which that was one thing that kind of bugged me because how did he ever think he could catch up to something running that fast when he is running at a normal speed. I also did really like that part where Harry makes the comment that all that is going on is really like a rebirth for Barry because the first time he got his powers he basically woke up and the first villain he fought was Girder, and now that is happening all over again. With the lightning hitting both Jesse and Wally does that mean they both now have the Speed Force too, because it would make sense for Wally because he eventually does become The Flash, and it would be cool to give Jesse a bit more of a reason to stay around. The one scene where Joe was testing to see if Wally had some speed was very fun, but even if Wally does have the speed I don't think that test would have worked because it didn't really fit Wally's personality like is would Barry's. And Iris using herself and bait and also being the one to figure out what Girder was actually after was really great to see. Then the ending with Zoom gathering all these random meta-humans was fun to see and I can't wait to see what they will all be like. Overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait for the next one.

Scorpion Season 2 Episode 23 "Chernobyl Intentions" Review
In Chernobyl, Sylvester and Paige become
trapped inside a decaying nuclear reactor that the team is trying to
repair before a tragic meltdown.
This was surprisingly a really great episode but that being said there were some moments where I kind of had to say “really why” to some of the things that happened to them. Because out of all the things to happen in this episode why not crash a plane causing Paige and Sylvester to get stuck and then as soon as they get Sylvester out Paige and Walter get stuck inside and the only real exit is in a hole in the roof that they have to climb a whole bunch of stuff to get to. I did like the fact that they brought in the amusement park just outside of Chernobyl into the story and eventually used it to help get the plane out of the building. Also having the team leave Toby behind in this episode was very interesting because they didn’t have him fully there making remarks about every idea that came to their minds. It was also nice seeing Toby preparing to propose to Happy. Then also having Happy sort of filling in for Toby in the department of talking to Walter about his feeling for Paige was a fun little turn of events. Then the ending and what happened to Toby I can’t wait to see how that will turn out in the next episode. Overall I really did like this episode but there were some moments I didn’t care for.

Arrow Season 4 Episode 20 "Genesis" Review
As Oliver and Felicity look for a magical solution to defeat Darhk, a vengeance-driven Diggle gets a lead on Andy's whereabouts and heads off to confront his brother. Meanwhile, Alex takes Thea on a vacation that quickly turns into a nightmare.
This was a very interesting episode, but it also felt a little off in my mind with how it was presented. The idea of the team going and taking a break while Oliver went out and learned how to use magic seemed like a really interesting idea in my mind, but the way they went about actually doing this episode is what put me off. Because Felicity now being somewhat back on the team decided to personally go with Oliver to find this other magical person for little to no reason in my mind. Then Diggle just sent the whole episode dealing with Andy and Darhk so he really didn't get much of a break at all he just went about doing the work mostly solo. The only one who actually went on a break was Thea and even that was far from a true vacation. So it was a good idea but not really shown in the way I imagined it. I did really like all the scenes with Oliver and the Shaman and telling him about light magic and dark magic and how it all works when it comes to facing Darhk. I also liked the parts within that where Oliver has to try and learn to see past all the darkness in him life and begin to see all the light in it. Which at first when he was talking about all this after the Shaman kick Oliver out and he told Felicity that she is really his biggest light in his life I had a moment of thinking maybe Felicity might be the one to end up with the magic, but that question really has yet to be fully answered. How things ended between Andy and John was really sad and I wish there could have been another way but it was also the thing that made the most amount of sense especially with Andy threatening his family. Overall I really did like this episode it just felt a little off in my mind.
Agents of SHIELD Season 3 Episode 20 "Emancipation" Review
In the aftermath of the events of Captain America: Civil War, S.H.I.E.L.D feels pressure to reveal their involvement with Inhumans. But with the stakes higher than ever and Hive growing stronger, the team is tested in ways they could never anticipate.
This was a really great and interesting episode that was really all about getting Daisy back. I did really like all the moments were Daisy is trying to hack into SHIELD and Fitz is doing everything he can to keep her out by basically rebooting the computers every few hours and adding more firewalls. The idea of Hive being fully willing to just kill off Daisy in order to get the amount of blood he needs to be able to make the Inhuman virus seems a little out of place to because of how much he seemed to enjoy Daisy's company. I also really liked that in these episodes since Fitz and Simmions have admitted there feelings for each other the show has shown their relationship growing but has not been shoving their relationship in our faces like some other shows might do. All the scenes with Talbot finding out all of what SHIELD has been up to was really fun with how he reacted to everything. Then Lincoln's whole breakout scene was interesting with how smoothly it all went down, but once the twist ending was revealed it made a bit more sense. Throwing Lash back into the fight was so great with how it was done, even though it was a bit of a risk because if he became under Hive's control they would have to deal with him as well again. Overall this episode had a lot of great moments and was a very entertaining watch.

Gotham Season 2 Episode 20 "Unleashed" Review
Azrael is loose in Gotham city which sparks Penguin’s need for revenge. Meanwhile, Bruce enlists Selina’s help in tracking down Professor Strange as he evades arrest for his experiments.
This was a really weird episode that seemed to veer off into a bunch of different directions. It started off where the last episode left off with Azrael trying to hunt down and kill Gordon. Then really out of nowhere in my mind Galavan’s sister manages to remind him of who he really is wich just seems impossible in my mind with how much it seemed Dr. Strange worked to try and convince him that whole part of his life was a lie. So for Azrael to accept his sister’s story and go and completely change his plan and go back to trying to kill Bruce, just how quickly that change happened didn’t really make sense in my mind. But of course, all this did add up to a really cool fight scene at Wayne Manor, especially at the very end where Penguin and Butch come out of nowhere and defeats Azrael them selfs. I really like the fact that the commissioner is not actually dead because like I said in the last review killing him off just seems too soon right now. Then the scenes with Selina and Nygma were okay the fun part was when they ran into each other in the vents. I also liked seeing some of the different monsters Dr.Strange has created as they were being shipped off to a different location because Gordon is becoming too close to finding them. Then the ending with Selina up against Firefly I can’t wait to see how that all will play out. Overall this was an alright episode with some good parts to it.
