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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Supergirl Season 4 Episode 6 "Call to Action" Review


As everyone gathers for Thanksgiving, Kara is feeling down after her televised debate with Ben Lockwood; James and Lena argue about the best way to handle the Children of Liberty.

This was a really interesting episode that had some entertaining moments to it but it also did feel a little long at some points. It was really interesting and kind of cool to see Supergirl and Manchester Black working together to take out Children of Liberty members. Then everything with James working to continue to grow a relationship with the Children of Liberty in order to find the identity of Agent Liberty. The conversation between Lena and James was really interesting where Lena brings up the idea of changing peoples DNA in order to put them on an equal playing field as aliens. James's ideas around that were great where he brings up that is a nice idea but it is hard to regulate and makes some people to powerful. Then the whole attack on aliens on Thanksgiving night was interesting with how everything laid out with this secret invisible marks that the Children of Liberty's masks can see the marks on alien's houses. And it was really fun to see the one house that was attacked had some guard dragons that Supergirl had to deal with alongside the Children of Liberty. Then just overall this was a really entertaining episode that was kind of fun to watch.

Legends of Tomorrow Season 4 Episode 3 "Dancing Queen" Review




When the Legends discover a fugitive is hiding in 1970’s London, they realize he is part of a gang that is targeting the British Monarchy. Trying to stop the gang, they realize someone from the Legends must infiltrate them. Surprising everyone, Ray is the one to gain their trust after he is put through a series of tests with help from Sara and Rory. Meanwhile, Gary shows Nate the ropes at the Time Bureau, but it turns out to be anything other than an ordinary day at the office.

This was a really great episode that had a lot of really fun moments to it and it was kind of fun to have a somewhat Ray focused episode. With that everything with Ray was really great with him trying to prove himself as a punk rock when he really is not. The best scene, in my opinion, was when Ray had to try and steal one of the queen’s corgis and how the rest of the team helped him out was really fun. The only part that kind of confused me was Ray’s reactions to everything going on and was he aware of others helping him or not. Then the team working to figure out who the magical creature is was fun when they first thought it was a leprechaun and they went through the whole test to see if there is one. The magical creature actually being a shapeshifter was interesting with the direction they decided to take the story where Ray was against sending her to hell. Then the shapeshifter getting stuck as Amaya was an interesting move that I’m curious to see how the team will grow to that new reality. Nate and Gary’s storyline wasn’t all that important but it was still fun to see Nate growing to this new path of his life. Then just overall this was a really fun episode and I can’t wait to see what will happen next.

The Flash Season 5 Episode 5 "All Doll'd Up" Review



Nora lets something slip about the future that devastates Iris. In an attempt to distract his wife, Barry asks Iris to team up to stop a new meta, Rag Doll. Meanwhile, Caitlin learns something about her father.

This was a really great episode that was a little weird and slow but it was still interesting to see how everything turned out. Everything with Nora and Iris was interesting with it finally being revealed that the reason Nora doesn’t trust Iris is that in the future she chose to hide Nora’s powers from her. And that was really interesting to see how all that played out but it was also a little confusing as to why Nora chose to blame Iris so hard on something she hasn’t even done yet. Then Rag Doll was a little weird with how they chose to explain his story where he was a rich kid who hated his life and when he gained his powers he chose to start stealing from other rich people, and I don’t really know why. Then everything with Iris was interesting with her proving that she is different from the future version Nora knows. But that being said it is a little weird how Iris risked her life so heavily in order to save Barry even though there are so many ways things could have gone wrong. Everything with Nora was some of my favorite moments in this episode where Cecile is telling all these stories about Nora’s parents and the twist that all the stories were about Iris and not Barry was so much fun. Then the moments between Cisco and Catlin was really great with them finding more information on Catlin’s dad and where he might be hiding. Then just overall this was a really interesting episode but it wasn’t the greatest of episodes.

Supergirl Season 4 Episode 5 "Parasite Lost" Review



Colonel Haley makes a surprising decision about Supergirl; Kara writes a series of articles about aliens in National City that end up putting them in harm's way. 
This was a really great episode that had two very good storylines to it. Everything with Kara and her doing these interviews for the paper was interesting with how she chose to do it and just the alien she chose to interview was really interesting. And it interesting with what they chose to do with that storyline where Kara saw him as a truly good man that could do no wrong and the more she looked into him she discovered some possible darker sides to him and just how she chose to approach that and deal with that was interesting to see. Then just the whole storyline around this guy and him being a healing alien and having a secret daughter that he was unable to ever see and how everyone dealt with that was interesting. Then everything with Jensen in this episode was okay with him having the parasite inside him and needing to feed off of aliens powers to be able to keep himself stable. How they chose to show everything around that was okay with how Alex chose to deal with trying to save Johnson and just how much of a menace Jensen could become because of the fact of his fear. Then the moments with Alex and the new Colonel Haley were great where Alex was afraid that Haley was going to be very aggressive and mean but through most of the episode she was really nice and then once Alex chose to defy Haley's decisions that are when you really got to see this other side to the colonel. Everything with James in this episode was great with him navigating how to deal with his new spotlight in these anti-alien groups and just how that was all shown and stuff was really great but I wish they would have shown more of his fighting during the ending scenes when Jensen is causing a lot of chaos. Then just overall this was a really great episode that had a lot of very interesting and entertaining moments to it and I'm very curious to see what they're going to do next.

Supergirl Season 4 Episode 4 "Ahimsa" Review




Alex asks Lena and Brainiac to team up and help Supergirl; J'onn discovers new ways to help his fellow aliens after running into Manchester Black.
This was a really interesting episode that was a little confusing in its plot but it was still a really cool episode for all of what happened. Everything with Alex in this episode was interesting with her being under a lot of because of the kryptonite being in the atmosphere because of the device was stolen from the DEO. One part that bugged me was with Supergirl and how she refused to listen to Alex even after Alex explained some of the situations to Kara and yet after all that Kara didn’t listen and almost destroyed the suite and got herself killed. But it was also weird how Alex didn’t explain everything when telling Supergirl to stand down she could have said things like the “president and all these other people are telling me to tell you to relax and if you don’t I’ll get in trouble,” that would have made more sense in my mind. Instead, Alex goes and tells Supergirl to relax because she feels it is the best action, that is just less impactful and made it easy for Kara to not listen, and that kind of bugged me. It was interesting to see how Kara chose to fight in the suite because she really couldn’t use her powers besides flight and strength. Then everything with J'onn and Manchester was great with them working together to find there friend and how that all worked out was interesting and I’m really curious to see what Manchester will do next to get what he wants. Then the moments with Lena and Brainiac was fun with them working to get the kryptonite out of the atmosphere and seeing how each of them handles things was interesting. The other major part that bugged me was the Children of Liberty’s plan to make people more afraid. Where there plan involved creating alien attacks, in my mind how does that make sense because alien attacks happen a lot so why would these certain attacks make any difference for people. It was interesting to see what happened when James chose to step up and be Guardian again where he didn’t get in trouble for it but he was also praised by the anti-alien groups. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and interesting episode to watch.

Legends of Tomorrow Season 4 Episode 2 "Witch Hunt" Review


When the magical Time Seismograph goes off, the team finds themselves headed to the Salem witch trials. Sara notices that Zari is taking the case personally when she promises to save a mom, who is being accused of being a witch. However, the team quickly learns that there is a magical creature in the town creating problems they hadn't been expecting. Meanwhile, Nate and Ava work together to try to keep their Time Bureau funding by proving to them that magic exists.

This was a really interesting and fun episode that had an entertaining story to it. Everything around the witch hunting was really interesting with them bringing up Jane Hawthorne and what happened to her and the legends have to decide whether they should interfere with this major event. I do wish they would have gone into more detail on what happened to Salem afterward because they somewhat proved the existence of magic and let Jane go so Salem didn't burn down so what effects did those changed have on Salem or did nothing change. Then the introduction of the fairy godmother was really great with the rules they set up when John couldn't just ban her to hell without banishing the girl the fairy godmother is connected to as well. So how they managed to get Prudence to reject her fairy godmother and fix the mistakes she made was all interesting. Then the conversation between John and the fairy godmother was really exciting where the godmother refused to work for John and said that hell would be better than fight what is coming for John, and that makes me really excited to know what it is that is coming for John. Then the moments with Nate and Ava working to prove that magic exists to Nate's father were so much fun with how they used Ray to do so and how the relationship between Nate and his father grew because of this discovery of what Nate does. I really do hope that Nate doesn't leave the team to join the bureau because he is one of my more favorite characters so I don't want him to disappear into more of a side character. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next.  

The Flash Season 5 Episode 4 "News Flash" Review


Barry and Iris face the ultimate parenting test when Team Flash battles Spin, a savvy millennial armed with meta tech, and a dangerous agenda for their daughter, Nora. Ralph is feeling defeated until unlikely source issues a challenge to help boost his confidence.

This was a really interesting and fun episode that I really enjoyed how it introduced a new kind of meta-human. Everything around Spencer was really great with her using her meta-human phone to help boost her popularity by making the new happen based on what she wrote and hypnotizing people into making the events happen. It was really interesting on how Spencer put a heavy focus on boosting up XS and how she did it by tearing down The Flash. I just didn't get how she thought it would be good to have XS kill The Flash, how would her story make it seem like XS is the hero. Then the big reveal of why Nora doesn't like Iris was a big surprise and really interesting where Iris chose to hide Nora's powers her whole life. Now I'm just really curious to know what happened six months ago in Nora's life that caused her to discover her hidden powers. Then the discoveries with Cicada were interesting with Ralph looking into the masks and Sherloque finding out that Cicada has a bad lung due to the satellite explosion. And it was really great how the two of them just barely missed Cicada when they went to ask some questions. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and great episode that had an interesting story to it.

Supergirl Season 4 Episode 3 "Man of Steel" Review


The story of how Ben Lockwood became Agent Liberty is told.

This was a really great episode that was so interesting and fun to watch and I really loved how they just only focused on the villain and how he got there. I really enjoyed seeing Ben's whole story where at first he wanted to work alongside aliens but after so many times of aliens ruining his life and not being held accountable for it he finally snapped and that was just amazing to see those gradual shifts as time went on. It was especially great to see that one major turning point for him which was when the Daxomites attacked and during the fight, Ben's family house got burned down and they lost everything, it was just great to see that shift in his attitude from that point on. Then seeing his gradual growth in followers around his anti-alien agenda was really interesting especially with how the Graves fit into that. Everything with Lena was also really interesting where she cut off the Lockwood family from her work going with a different steel company instead and that being a defining decision that causes the family to begin to spiral. Then Ben and Lena's whole conversation at the funeral was just a great moment to show how much Ben had changed. Then just overall this was a really interesting and entertaining episode and I'm very curious to see what they're going to do next now that Supergirl is stuck in that suit.

Legends of Tomorrow Season 4 Episode 1 "The Virgin Gary" Review


After the Legends defeated Mallus and wiped the final anachronism from time they find themselves in unfamiliar territory with the Time Bureau. All that changes when Constantine informs Sara of a new magical threat that leads the team to Woodstock. Constantine thinks he knows how to defeat the new threat but will need the help of the team and their special klepto talents to help with his spell. Meanwhile, Nate and Rory go on an adventure leaving Nate facing someone from his past.

This was a really fun and great first episode for the season that did a nice job of setting up what is to come. I really enjoyed how they reintroduced all of the main characters and plotted out more development for them especially for Nate in this episode you got to meet a bit more of him with the introduction of his family and seeing what his relationship is like with them and sort of where he came from. Which is something that's really interesting and I'm very curious to see how all that's going to work out going forward. Then everything with Sarah and Ava was really great with their relationship developing and but Sarah's worried about the secrets that she's keeping and how that might affect their relationship especially when John shows up. I just really enjoyed how each of the members discovers the problem at Woodstock and how they all arrive there pretty simultaneously. Then the main villain in this episode was really great with it being a unicorn and how unicorns aren't like we expect them to be where they are actually really evil and want to eat your heart. How Sarah managed to convince John to help out was really great where it was him against it until he discovers that they're fighting a unicorn and then he got really excited that was just a fun little moment. I also really loved how in order to stop the unicorn they had to collect a bunch of items from some of the more famous people that were at Woodstock I just thought that was a really great way to show off some of the people. Then how they actually stop the unicorn by needing Garry's help was such an interesting moment where they need him because of the fact that he was only one that was a virgin and that would help. Then how is episode ended was really interesting and I'm very curious to know what this big threat is that's coming after John and how he's going to ride with the Legends now he that he's running away to them. Then just overall this was a really great first episode and I'm really curious and excited to see what's going to happen next.

The Flash Season 5 Episode 3 "The Death of Vibe" Review


Following Cicada's attack on the Flash, Nora comes up with a plan that puts a member of the team in danger.

This was a really interesting episode that had some great moments to it and it did a great job moving a lot of the storylines forward and bring some new truth out around Cicada. I really loved the introduction of this new Sherlock Well's and how they hired him because he has tracked down Cicada hundreds of time before was great and I can't wait to see what they will do with him in order for him to pay off his debt he owns to Team Flash. Then I enjoyed how because Nora messed with the timeline by helping Barry that caused this Cicada to be different than the Cicada from hundreds of other timelines. And how Nora was so unwilling to believe that Cicada had changed because of her actions was interesting and I'm very curious to know how involved Cicada is in actions in the future and what that might lead to Barry's disappearance. Then the whole interrogation scene between Joe and Cicada was interesting but also kind of weird in my mind with how Cicada made the jump of how Joe must know Vibe because they always are in the same crimes together, but Joe is the head of the Metahuman crime division so of course Joe would be around things involving Metahumans. But still the whole scene involving Cicada and Joe was great and it was interesting to see how Cecile played into giving Cicada what he wanted and I'm interested to see how the hint that Cicada might be a father will play out in uncovering who Cicada is. Then the whole fight scene between Cicada, Vibe, and Flash was great especially with how XS came up with a way end up saving Vibe. Then everything with Catiline and Ralph was great with all the little hints and tricks that lead to more truths about Catiline's father. And I liked how Catiline found the truth through these puzzles she and her father did and how these puzzles had science involved in them I just thought that was a fun way to chime into Catiline's science childhood. Them just overall this was a great episode and I'm really excited to see what will happen next.

Supergirl Season 4 Episode 2 "Fallout" Review




When a shocking revelation brings chaos to National City, Supergirl sets out to capture Mercy Graves.

This was a really interesting and great episode that had a lot of really good moments to it. I really enjoyed the moments of somewhat of organized chaos where everyone is freaking out about who might be an alien or not. Then everything around Mercy's plan for this episode was interesting with her attacking the alien's image inducers to reveal more aliens to the public. And I really enjoyed the scenes with Kara being stuck in L Corp when Mercy attacks and not being able to escape Lena long enough to change into Supergirl, it was just really funny and made some really great moments of her hiding her powers from Lena. Then Mercy's escape from the DEO with her bother was so interesting because the managed to use their words to influence and create mistrust in a DEO agent Jensen. Then everything with Brainiac-5 was really interesting with him being one of the people who was affected by the image inducer hack and having to face the prejudice face on and seeing how people are more then what you know them as. I'm very curious in that scene where Nia arrived to help out Brainiac-5 was them showing Nia's powers of foresight for the first time or if they are showing it as her fighting against injustice different then the injustice and prejudice she has face her whole life or both. Then the moments with Nia and James was interesting with James being hesitant on whether or not to share his opinion on alien rights and make CatCo pick a side in the fight. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I'm really excited to see what will happen next with the atmosphere being irritated with Kryptonite and affecting Kara.
