Supergirl Season 1 Episode 7 "Human for a Day" Review
Kara and her friends are forced to rely on their inner strength and courage when an earthquake strikes National City, while Alex's mistrust of Hank reaches its breaking point when the earthquake traps them in the DEO with an alien escapee called Jemm.
This was a really great episode to show more of Kara without Supergirl. Because that is what this whole episode revolves around is Kara having blown out her powers and needing time to recover and it happened to be on the worst day possible for that. I did like the joke early on in the episode where Kara caught a cold and Cat complains about it saying the only reason she hired Kara was because she never gets sick. And then of course shortly after that Kara falls and hurts her arm. Of course, there are the scenes in this episode where it's like a bunch of people complaining were is Supergirl this one time we need her, like all the other times she did show up weren't as important. Then it was really sad when it was brought up that Clark usually only needs 48 hours to recharge while it has been longer than that for Kara so maybe she has lost her powers for good, which is just a weird thought to have in my mind. Then, of course, the one scene where Kara decided to get all suited up to help out even without all her powers was really great with how that scene was all planned out and organized. Then all the scenes with Alex and Hank were really great with when they were added into the episode. But all the bitterness Alex had towards Hank in this episode could have been toned down a bit, but I also understand why it was there. With the similarities to the same events that happened to her father playing out in front of her face. Then the ended between Alex and Hank I was not really expecting but it also makes sense to some degree in my mind. Overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait to see what the next episode will bring.

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 6 "Red Faced" Review
Stress makes Kara go too far during a training exercise against a military cyborg commissioned by General Sam Lane, while Cat's mother comes to visit and Winn helps Alex investigate her father's death.
This was a really great episode that had a lot of great points to it. I really liked the whole underground saying that I girl needs to find a way to get out there stress in a healthy way because if a girl holds it in for too long and cause it to blow up in their face they'll be seen as weak, and I loved that so much because it is so true. The one scene that showed Kara getting out her anger alongside James was really great when it showed James just using a regular punching bag, but Kara was using a car hung up like a punching bag to get all of her anger out on. I really liked seeing more of the Lane family even though they were such jerks to both Supergirl and James. The game night scene with the main group of characters was also great to see what Winn and Kara could be if Kara just gave him a chance, as well as seeing the awkwardness of them right now. Then all the scenes with Cat's mother were also great to see what Cat is like never she is not the one on top of everybody else. Red Tornado was an interesting enemy for this episode because of the fact that up until the end of this episode he was just a tool for someone else's evil doing, and then when he finally came into his own Kara ended him. And I wish that doesn't stay perminate and eventually he comes back because I would really like to see more of him. Then the ending where Kara and Alex finally find out about what happened to Alex's father was really interesting and I'm curious to see where that might lead to. Overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait to see what the next one will bring.

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 5 "How Does She Do It?" Review
Kara must protect National City from a series of bombings and babysit Cat's son, while James is visited by Lucy Lane.
This was a very fun and great episode, that surprisingly for all the chaos this episode was supposed to show it actually did a good job at splitting between Kara and Supergirl. The whole plot with Kara babysitting was done really well, and I really loved the kid and I hope he comes back for future episodes. The idea of having Cat's son be obsessed with Supergirl was also a really great and fun tie in to mix everything together. I also really liked the part where they are playing video games on Cat's giant TV screens, but I feel like that would be really hard to do with all the cut offs. I wonder how it was organized that when Cat's gone James is in change because I thought he was just the photographer, so how did that all work out to put him in charge. I really kind of want to see more of how the office works without Cat there because that seemed like a plot that wasn't really shown all that much. I did really like the tie in where the reason Cat is gone is that she won an award and finally beat out Lois Lane in doing so. The big revile of who the big bad villain is was not too surprising to me because I had a feeling about it from when we first met him at the end of the first episode. How he went about doing him pain though is really clever with playing the victim, but also really sad with how he got the other guy to take the fall for him. I really want to find out more about Henshaw because I am completely lost of what he is. Overall I really loved this episode and it was done really well.

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 4 "Livewire" Review
Kara's foster mother visits for Thanksgiving, while an accident transforms a volatile CatCo employee into Livewire.
This was a really great episode, especially for a holiday episode. The fact that they decided in this episode to introduce a villain that isn't an alien but just a human given special abilities. It was a nice change, but it was a little weird how quickly Livewire seemed to master her powers. The thanksgiving dinner scene was also done really well with how it all seemed like no one wanted to be there. The opening scene was also fun with having Kara fighting an alien while on the phone. And all the conversation with Cat were also really great. Overall this was a really great and fun episode.

American Horror Story Hotel Episode 12 "Be Our Guest" Review
Iris and Liz oversee a new era at the Cortez. John and Alex struggle to adapt to live outside the hotel.
This was a really great ending episode that was definitely better than I was expecting it to be. Iris and Liz winning over all the ghost in the hotel and convincing them to stop killing people was really cool especially how they went about dealing with the two hard to crack people Sally and Will. I like that they got Sally to stop by getting her a phone and a social life through the internet so she actually had friends and not have to kill to gain friends. Then with Will Drake, Liz taking over the face of his fashion industry so he could create and still do something like he had once done and how they all went about it was really cool. Bringing Billie the median in to talk with some of the ghosts was really sweet with the moment with Iris, but I also could see how all the other ghost got really annoyed by her really fat. I was expecting to see more of John, Alex, and their family but the moments that they did have were really great especially all the devils night stuff. Overall I really enjoyed this season and it definitely wasn't the greatest season but better than some.

American Horror Story Hotel Episode 11 "Battle Royale" Review
Ramona draws vitality from an unlikely source. Sally uses her past to negotiate her future. Scarlett learns the truth of her family's affliction.
This was a really great episode that in my mind wrapped a lot of things up so I'm very curious to see what the last episode might bring. I loved the opening where Iris and Liz trying to take the Countess down on there own with no great outcome. The part with John having to do one more killing to complete the ten commandments killings and the last one being thou shall not kill, I thought it was going to end with him killing himself instead on how it actually ended. And I feel really bad for Scarlett because in the matter of like a few months her whole family has changed dramatically. I'm very curious on how all the little vampire children go into the little hidden hallway with Ramona if that was them because I don't remember that part. And if that was them then thank goodness there gone because I hated them. Sally's whole plot was a little stupid and I'm very curious to see if in the end she might actually get what she wants. Over all I enjoyed this episode and I'm curious to see what the next one will bring.

Arrow Season 4 Episode 9 "Dark Waters" Review
Oliver moves against HIVE; Malcolm goes to see Thea, leaving her with a warning; Damien Darhk retaliates at Oliver's holiday party.
This was a really great episode that sort of fully started the war between Darhk and Oliver, and I'm really excited. Just like The Flash this was the Christmas episode and Oliver is throwing a campaign holiday party that ended really great. I really liked the beginning with the city cleaning the lake and there was a mini Felicity who was my favorite. What Darhk and his little group are doing underneath the lake I was not expecting but I'm very curious to see where that might lead to. Oliver giving himself up to Darhk so easily was a little stupid because did he really think Darhk would just let his friends go. Malcolm dressing up as the Green Arrow to help free all of them from Darhk was really cool and fun to see. Overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait to see the next one.

The Flash Season 2 Episode 9 "Running to Stand Still" Review
The Weather Wizard returns to break Captain Cold and the Trickster out of Iron Heights, leaving Barry to stop the trio from taking over Central City during the holidays; Joe and Iris meet Wally West.
This was a really amazing episode that I absolutely loved. Bringing back three of the amazing villains of the Weather Wizard, Captain Cold, and the Trickster and haveing two of them working together to try and bring down The Flash was really cool. I liked that Iris finally told Joe about his son and I can’t wait to see the next episode and see how that will be explored even more. Patty going a little out of control because of her hatred for the Weather Wizard was a little fun to see but it did get a bit out of control. Wells and Zoom’s meeting and the deal was a little weird mostly because I can’t remember if the actual deal was fully discussed because I can’t remember it at all. All I know is Wells has to do something in order to get his daughter back. The idea of the bomb presents being scatted all over Central City was also a really cool idea especially with how Wells and Cisco decided to deal with it. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can’t wait to hopefully see more of Wally in the next one.

American Horror Story Hotel Episode 9 "She Wants Revenge" Review
The Countess is reunited with her one true love; Donovan and Ramona take another stab at revenge; a careless decision lands Alex in hot water.
This was a really nice episode with a lot of really kind of strange parts to it. The Countess's wedding to the hotels newest owner happened in this episode as well as all her plans afterwards that happened a lot faster than I thought they would. Donovan's betrayal in this episode I was not really expecting because I was not expecting him to be as stupid as he apparently is. And I'm very curious to know what will happen with Ramona in the future not she seems to be fully stuck in the hotel. I feel like Liz might not survive for very much longer due to all the hatred she now has for The Countess. Alex and the vampire children is a story plot I really don't care much for and sadly I kind of hope all the kids die off because their so bad at being vampires. The Countess's reunion with her love I really didn't care for either, especially the plot where now they are trying to get rid of her loves wife because she has chosen to adapt to her new lifestyle. Overall this was a good episode, but not one that I really cared for.

Arrow Season 4 Episode 8 "Legends of Yesterday" Review
Oliver and Barry hide Kendra and Carter in a remote location while they try to figure out how to defeat Vandal Savage; Felicity, Thea, Diggle and Laurel work to come up with a weapon to destroy Vandal.
This was a really nice episode that hopefully is the last to introduce all the characters for the Legends of Tomorrow so hopefully we can move on to something else. I liked the idea of switching and going back to Central City to do the main chunks of the fighting. I really liked the somewhat of a training moment between Kendra and Carter. But I still don't get how they could believe she was ready to fight just after that one moment. Using Barry's ability to time travel in this episode was interesting but it felt a little random that they had to throw that in there instead of just skipping over that part and ending it the way the time travel fixed things. Oliver and the fact that he has a kid felt a little weird that they took this long to bring that plot back in because they like first introduced it in the first season and haven't talked about it at all until this episode. Overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait for the next one.
The Flash Season 2 Episode 8 "Legends of Today" Review
When Vandal Savage attacks Kendra Saunders, Barry takes Kendra to Star City, seeking Oliver's protection; Harrison asks Jay to test a new serum to make Barry run faster.
This was a really great episode on its own as well as being the Arrow episode that came after. Kendra being attacked by Vandal Savage was a little awkward in how it was first played out but the time in Star City was really cool. Hawkman's introduction was fun but also a little weird because they just kind of threw him into the playing field and like said have fun and don't die. I really liked all the parts where Carter is trying to get Kendra to remember who she truly is shoving her off a bunch of really tall buildings. The whole plot with Wells and the serum to make Barry fast seemed really cool but it really didn't make sense in my mind besides making it eventually so that maybe it could help Jay get his speed back sometime here in the future. Overall this was a fairly good episode and I'm very curious to see where the Arrow episode will take it.

Gotham Season 2 Episode 11 "Worse Than a Crime" Review
Jim Gordon turns to Dangerous Allies for assistance when Bruce Wayne is abducted.
This was a decent mid-season finally episode but not the greatest of one. The whole plot was around saving Bruce from Galavan and that was pretty boring. The fact of having Alfred, Gordon, Penguin, and each of there respected teams all the sudden working together to save Bruce seemed to really come together out of nowhere. All the scenes with Bruce and Silver seemed so fake and just a drag of a conversation that wasn't going anywhere. All the ending moments in this episode were really great whether it was them breaking into Galavan's penthouse to save Bruce or it being the actual ending were they gave a little tease of Mr.Freeze I'm super exited to start the second half. Over all I didn't really care for this episode it was boring and didn't seem like a good ending to what this whole first half of the season had been setting up.

Agents Of SHIELD Season 3 Episode 10 "Maveth" Review
S.H.I.E.L.D battles Hydra head-to-head, which sees Coulson and Fitz take the ultimate risk while Daisy and the Inhumans try to keep Hydra at bay.
This was a really great mid season finally episode with a lot of action and a fairly good plot to it. I really liked seeing the whole team showing up to save Fitz, Simmons and Coulson and the teamwork and separate work that they did to infiltrate the castle was really well done. On the alien planet that Coulson ended up on I have a hard time believing that he could easily follow Ward and Fitz's track because it looked like a high amount of wind was almost always blowing and could have easily moved the sand and covered them up. Having the group of sleeping inhumans stored in a part of the castle and the need to save them just to have them all killed off by Lash I felt was really unnecessary. The twist of what happens to Will after Fitz worked so hard to save him I was not expecting. But I am curious to know if the creature that was on the planet that they always referred to as death is actually Death and they just put it in a different form from Lady Death. Because if that is Lady Death just in a different form that is cool that there choosing to introduce her in the TV show and not in one of the movies. Overall this was a really great episode and I really can't wait for the next one.

Quantico Season 1 Episode 9 "Guilty" Review
After turning herself into the FBI, Alex is aggressively interrogated to confess about who really bombed grand central. New evidence is uncovered that might lead to Alex's freedom. Back at Quantico, the group investigates serial murderers.
This was a really exciting and great episode. All the people who just want Alex to confess instead of actually listening to what she has to say is a little scary because it seems so realistic because when a tragedy happens a lot of the time people just want a confession and have everything just come to a close. I did like the fact that everyone seemed to be so determined to get Alex back that they were looking for any evidence to prove doubt that she might not be guilty. It was so cool because these where a lot of the same people that in the past episodes they were working so had to prove her guilty. The serial murder cases that they work on was really cool but also a little weird in how that whole story plot went about. Overall this was a really great episode with a lot of twists to it.

Scorpion Season 2 Episode 13 "White Out" Review
In order to save a United States Special Forces unit from certain death, the Scorpion Team must get through the very low temperatures of Antarctica to connect to a satellite in order to save the soldiers. Toby risks his life to save Happy.
This was a really great comeback episode after the holiday break. The team splitting up with Page and Sylvester left behind while the rest of the team goes to the Arctic made a cool separation where Page isn't their to help them make decisions. Some of their knowledge about cold preventives where correct about skin to skin contact but none of them wore hats and that is one of the most important things to keep cover when trying to keep warm. I like all the scenes with Ralph talking to the soldiers and helping them out until the rest of team Scorpion to help them out. I am kind of waiting for the one time Scorpion doesn't succeed at something and Ralph gets a bit of a reality check on them and doesn't think of them as much of heroes as he did in this episode. The teams new years revolutions were kind of fun too with how hard they tried to stick with them. The ending with Happy and her dad was really great and I think it was trying to push a Happy and Toby relationship a bit to much. Over all I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for the next one.
Galavant Season 2 Episode 3 and 4 "Aw, Hell, the King" "Bewitched, Bothered, and Belittled" Review
Episode 3
Desperate to raise an army and storm Hortensia, Galavant and King Richard return to his former castle to find the village thriving, now that they've found democracy. The discovery causes Richard to have an identity crisis now that his people don't need him. Galavant uses a town hall meeting to recruit fighters from the village, but volunteers are in short supply. In Hortensia, an evil wedding planner named Wormwood poisons Isabella's mind with an enchanted tiara, intent on making her help him take over the kingdom.
Episode 4
While continuing their quest to gather an army, King Richard discovers that he has a connection to Roberta, the beautiful warrior who volunteered to help. Galavant plays matchmaker. Madalena is invited to the Basikobitcz party - the popular girls of the kingdom - and can't wait to be accepted into their group. The party is not what she expected, and, when she returns home, Madalena discovers that she has feelings and does not like her new emotion.
Review
This was another really funny and great set of episodes. Galavant and Richards whole story was really great I loved the song where Richard is trying to figure out what he could do with his life if he is not king. And Galavant trying to find some way to pull together an army to help him was really funny how all the towns people kept mixing up Isabella and Madalena and in the end he did get one lady to join his army. And I really hope that Galavant's plains eventually work out and a relationship grows between Richard and Roberta. Isabella being under mind control is a little weird but I'm curious to see where that is going to eventually lead to, especially now that the chef and servant have left. Madalena's whole part in this episode was sad but also great and ended with probably my favorite new song from this series. And I hope some kind of relationship forms between her a Gareth so then when it comes time for him to pick a side their is a bit more of a struggle for him. Over all I really enjoyed these episodes and I can't wait for the next ones.
Gotham Season 2 Episode 10 "The Son of Gotham" Review
Gordon confronts a suspect who is connected to Galavan, but falls short of obtaining any information. Meanwhile, Bruce gets one step closer to discovering the name of his parent's killer.
This was another decent episode but not one of the greatest episodes. The whole idea of the monks going around basically sacrificing people for this great rebirth of Gotham seemed a little strange to me and like this major plot they decided to throw in for these final to episodes leading up to the mid season finally. Galavan getting out of prison so easily because the old mayor changed his story at the last moment seems like it would be impossible because his story was different all leading up to the actual court case. I actually really liked seeing Bruce in this episode and the interrogation scene with him and Silver was so well done and very clever. Gordon becomes even darker in this episode because of his determination to put Galavan away I think by the end of this season he might loose a lot and have to gain the trust of his friends back if he doesn't turn his attitude around. The ending leads me to think the Gordon might end up in dept with penguin again by owing him another favor with them having to work together to take down Galavan. Over all this was a decent episode but not the greatest of episodes.
Scorpion Season 2 Episode 12 "Dam Breakthrough" Review
Its Christmas Eve and Team Scorpion must prevent a catastrophe when torrential rains create a large crack in a dam. The fight to save an entire town from the threat if it wiping out an entire town in its wake.

Agents Of SHIELD Season 3 Episode 9 "Closure" Review
Ward's vendetta and plan for revenge against S.H.I.E.L.D. brings the team to their knees, and Coulson proves he will be willing to do anything to settle the conflict.
This was a really great episode to be a first part to the mid season finally but not really the greatest as a stand alone episode. The whole episode seemed to be a fight between Ward and Coulson because somehow they were finally once again on "even ground." The part with Fitz and Simmon's getting kidnapped by Hydra seemed a little awkward in how it all went down and the interrogation part seemed like is was trying to be more dramatic then it actually was. I did like seeing Mack as the director and I hope he might get some more head rolls in the future, it was also fun to see the first group of secret warriors. Over all I really didn't care for this episode but that is also partially because it's only part one of two parts and I can't wait to see what the second part will bring.

Scorpion Season 2 Episode 11 "The Old College Try" Review
The Scorpion team goes under cover at a college to discover who is holding the federal reserve for ransom. Walter tries to help Ray, while Paige is trying to get Walter to express grief about Megan.
This was a really funny episode and Happy and Walter were defiantly the two best characters in the episode. The whole team going back to college and pose as students was really funny especially with how they decided to split up the team for each of the clubs and things they needed to be a part of in order to try and find who sent the message. Happy and her attempt to get into a sorority was the best in how she didn't even try to act different and try and fit in. Walter and the acting club and Toby and his job interview with his arch-nemesis where also really great on how everything went down, and Walter stole the show against the acting club at the end of the episode. The whole quantum computer felt a little random to me and really seemed like a plot to try and make a part of this episode seem more dramatic. But that being said how they dealt with the quantum computer was really great and funny and had some really great moments to it. Over all I really enjoyed this episode and I really loved it.
