Riverdale Season 2 Episode 18 "Chapter Thirty-One: A Night to Remember" Review

The Riverdale High Drama Department presents its spring production, Carrie: The Musical.

This was a really interesting episode that was a little weird but had a lot of really great moments to it. In my opinion, this episode did a good job for a musical episode because for the most part, all the songs were just them rehearsing for the play so it wasn't so bad as them breaking out into song. it was also really interesting how everybody got cast in these rolls that match their character personalities. I really loved how parts of this episode were filmed in a different style so that it looked like we were watching the documentary the Jughead was filming. Then the whole side story around this random person threatening to kill Cheryl if she didn't step down from her role as Carrie felt like it was going to be really important but it ended up being a bit of a throwaway moment because it turned out to be someone who was just mad that they didn't get the part. And I hated how they didn't give Cheryl the chance to step down on her own but rather have her mother show up and force her. The moments with Hiram trying to cause friction between Archie and his dad was really great with how they chose to show it with Archie trying to hide his new car from his father and Hiram spilling the beans on the car's existence. Then the ending of this episode was just amazing with everybody not realizing if what was going on on the stage was part of the play or not. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next. 

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 19 "The Fanatical" Review

A disciple of Coville's escapes from what's left of his cult and gives Kara and James a journal that could help save Sam; Guardian is found out.

This was such a great episode that did a good job of standing on its own because it is one of the few episodes that has little to nothing to do with Regin. I really liked Tanya going to James to help find Supergirl and warn her about what is happening. And just all the moments around Tanya and James were really great with how Tanya treated James once she discovered his secret about being Guardian. I do however believe that they made the political message in this episode a little heavy-handedly because it was all about police brutality on black men and how James feared how people would treat him if they knew that Guardian was a black man. But with that being said Mehcad Brooks performance as James talking about what his life was like growing up as a black man was amazing the only problem was how the writing sort of spoon fed us all that information. Then the discovery how what the cult was doing as interesting but also a little weird because they discovered that the cult is working to make more world killers. Which is a pretty cool idea the only problem is when it came to this rock that can turn people into world killers is also the same rock that can destroy the world killer inside of Sam. and to me, that just seems weird and lazy. The ending fight scene was really great with Supergirl having to destroy the rock that can help save Sam in order to stop and save Olivia. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next.

Legion Season 2 Episode 11 "Chapter 19" Review

David battles Farouk and tries to prevent the future.

This was a really amazing finale that had so many great moments to it. I really loved the battle at the beginning of the episode where David and Farouk were fighting with each other in any way possible. Then finally seeing Lenny's roll in this whole fight and what it is that she is supposed to shoot with a sniper was interesting but it was a little sad that her location was given away because of the second shot she did to save David. The whole conversation between David and Syd was great with Syd brings up how she is the true hero and David is the villain. I really liked how quickly the fixed the problem around David mind whipping Syd so that she would forget their conversation and just how everyone discovered David's tension was really great. I also really loved the ending where the trial that was supposed to be on Farouk changed and because about David and his future crimes. And it was so great how they finally brought up how David is not just crazy or powerful he is both and that is the problem when it comes to his power he can't figure out what is real and what isn't. Then the ending of David's escape from Division 3 was just amazing and I'm super excited to see what will happen now that it is David and Lenny vs everyone else. And just overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next season.

Code Black Season 3 Episode 8 "Home Stays Home" Review

Mario joins Rox and Willis on the scene of a boat crash and, in Center Stage, Leanne works to save a brother and sister who drank boiling water through a straw as part of a challenge. Also, Max's father tells Leanne to keep Ariel away from his son after he finds them kissing.

This was a really great episode with a lot of really entertaining moments to it. Everything around the father and son in the boat accident was really interesting with Willis pushing a lot of his own feeling about his own family onto this father and son so that they don't end up like Willis and his father. I especially loved the ending scene where Willis tells the father to tell the son that he loves him and the father at first brushes that comment off saying that the son knows he loves him but then the more and more he talks he starts to doubt that himself. Mario dealing with his own family troubles in this episode was also great with him also having to face Noa and a death of a patient all in one shift. And Dr. Noa and Dr. Deagio dealing with an outbreak of gonorrhea at a retirement home as a very funny side story for this episode. Leanne dealing with the two kids and their absinthe mother was an interesting story with how Leanne dealt with all of it because at first, they didn't trust the mother but then when the mother managed to spot a change in her daughter health that the doctors didn't, Leanne was willing to work with the mother more and help her to fight for her kids. The whole side story around Ariel and Max was really sweet with how it all turned out and I really loved how they managed to fit Emily into that storyline. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and interesting episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next.   

Riverdale Season 2 Episode 17 "Chapter Thirty: The Noose Tightens" Review

Hiram's mobster associates come to stir up some trouble; Things take a dangerous turn when an unexpected guest shows up at the Cooper residence.

This was a really great episode that had a lot of excellent moments to it. Everything around the Jones's and the Cooper's was so great with the car of the one killed drug dealer being found and they're all on edge waiting for things to be tied back to them. And I really liked the slight comment made where Jughead and Betty were told to act normal and there is a problem with that because there normal is to get involved which they can't necessarily do. Then when Chic leads a woman tied to the drug dealer back to the Cooper house it was great because you got to see both sides of Chic and how the whole family dealt with it when they were being held for ransom. Then the moment with the Serpents breaking into the house to save the Coopers was such a great moment to show that when it comes down to it the Serpents will protect there own no matter what. Everything with Archie was also interesting with him navigating that line between the Lodges and his own family. And him reintroducing the red circle to threaten the other mobster and help Hiram was interesting but I can't wait to see when that will come to bite him in the butt. Then everything with Cheryl was just so amazing with Toni not believing that Cheryl went to a private school in Europe and she gets the help of Josie and Veronica to help track down Cheryl to a conversion therapy center at the Sisters Of Quite Mercy. And I really enjoyed the revelation the Josie had that all the bad things that happened to her were not because of some creepy guy but rather Cheryl trying to show her affection. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I'm really excited to see what will happen next.

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 18 "Shelter from the Storm" Review

When Reign starts hunting Ruby, Supergirl and Alex work together to keep her safe. Supergirl and J'onn look to Sam's mother for advice on how to stop Reign and come away with shocking news.

This was a really great episode that had so many amazing moments to it especially where it took the whole Reign storyline. All the moments with Alex and Ruby were great with the slow revile to who Reign is to Ruby. And the introduction of the Luthor mansion was such a great surprise to see it all in action and I hope there are moments in the future where they can come back to the mansion. Then everything with Supergirl and J'onn meeting Sam's mother was really well done from the fact that Sam's mother blames herself for what is going on because she made Sam suppress this other side of her for so long to the realization that Regin has always been a part of Sam in some way and has been trying to get out for years. The Legion deciding to leave was kind of sad because I really liked having them around to help out and Brainiac-5's deduction that if one legionnaire says behind to help out Supergirl their chance of success will improve by like 70% was an interesting way to get Mon-El to stay behind. And the whole reasoning for Mon-El to stay behind was really great with it bring up how Mon-El needs to decide his feeling for Kara and if he is willing to let those feeling go for good so that he can completely be with Imra. Then the whole final fight scene was great and now I'm really interested to see what they are going to do to try and save Sam. Then just overall this was an amazing episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next. 

Legion Season 2 Episode 10 "Chapter 18" Review

David is ready for his revenge, while Syd learns something shocking about him from Melanie.

This was a really great episode that did an amazing job of setting up for the final fight coming in the last episode. I really loved everything with Lenny, Cary, and Kerry with them getting into the place where David told them and Lenny planning for her chance to get her revenge on the Shadow King. Then everything with Syd was really interesting with her and Melanie having a conversation about the true nature of David and how much of a villain he truly is. I especially loved those moments with how they were connected back to David who was torturing Oliver for information at the same time these conversations were going on. Then just all the little tricks and characters out in the desert to try and stop everyone from reaching the Shadow Kings body was so entertaining and great. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode to watch and I’m very excited to see what will happen in the season finale.

The Flash Season 4 Episode 18 "Lose Yourself" Review

Barry and the team find a way into the Thinker's lair; Ralph considers crossing a dangerous line to defeat him; Joe is concerned by Harry's recent behavior.

This was a really entertaining and fun episode that had a lot of great moments to it. Everything around the search for Edwin and the discovery that his powers give him the ability to cross dimensions was really great. Then the debate between Barry and Ralph on whether or on to kill DeVoe if they are given the chance was really great because you could kind of see both sides of the argument. The moments between Joe and Harry were interesting with Joe confronting Harry about his addiction to the thinking cap, but those moments also felt really weird and random even if they were justified. Then the whole final fight scenes were amazing with Killer Frost, Flash, and Vibe all being trapped and everything was up to the rest of Team Flash. The moments between Iris and The Engineer were great with them having a battle more or less of who cares more. Then Joe taking on one of the samuroid's I wish would have gotten more screen time because that is something I would have loved to see. Then Ralph deciding to take the non-lethal rout to stop DeVoe was really great to see even though it didn't end well for him. The ending moments of realization the while in the fight with DeVoe he did something that caused Catlin to lose Killer Frost was really heartbreaking. And just overall this was a really amazing episode that makes me really excited to see what will happen next.
  

Riverdale Season 2 Episode 16 "Chapter Twenty-Nine: Primary Colors" Review

In the aftermath of Hiram's plans, Jughead resorts to drastic measures to voice his opposition; Tensions between Fred and Archie reach a breaking point.

This was a really great episode that had a lot of entertaining moments to it and each of the independent storylines were well done and great on there own as well as together. Everything with Archie and his family was really interesting with Fred trying to cut all ties to Lodge industries and Archie's mother coming back to help him, but Archie dealing with the problems of either choosing his family or the Lodge's. Then the moments with Jughead going on a hunger strike and chaining himself to South Side High all to protest against the Lodge's was really well done especially with Archie having to be the in-between person so that the Lodge's don't get any bad press by hurting a bunch of kids. Veronica was great in this episode with her trying to not create any buzz around her but everyone is angry about what her parents are doing and they only have access to take that anger out on her. Then her campaign to run for student president was an interesting story with how everything turned out with it finally being revealed that Veronica knew the whole time what her parents were up to. Betty was really great with her trying to figure out more about who Chic could be and why he is really there. Cheryl was some of the best moments in this episode with being fully paranoid that her mother and uncle are out to get her and her grandmother which is fully justified. Then just overall this was a really amazing episode and I'm very excited to see what will happen next with how this episode ended. 

Riverdale Season 2 Episode 15 "Chapter Twenty-Eight: There Will Be Blood" Review

Fred considers running for Mayor; Betty becomes increasingly suspicious of Chic; Jughead makes a major discovery in his quest to take down Hiram.
  
This was a really great and interesting episode that had a lot of entertaining moments to it. I really enjoyed everything around Jughead slowly trying to put the pieces together of what Hiram is up to and why he's buying up so much of the south side. And the eventual reveal that Hiram has also bought Pop's shop was interesting to finally see all the pieces put together. Then the eventual reveal at the end of this episode of what Hiram actually has planned is kind of weird but also interesting with his plan being that he wants to build a prison and create a bunch of new jobs because of that. Then everything with Archie and his father was well done with their relationship becoming more strained with the idea that his father will be more in the pockets of the Lodges and that Archie has to decide if he's willing to let his father take on this role as mayor. Then everything with Betty in this episode was amazing with her finding a way to prove whether or not Chic is who he says he is. And she does that by using the need for a test to prove Blossom blood to decide whether or not certain members of the family get a cut of Clifford Blossom's fortune. Those scenes also let into some great moments with Cheryl and her slow discovery that her newly discovered uncle and her mother are planning against Cheryl and her grandmother. Then just overall this was a really well-done episode with some entertaining moments and I'm very curious to see what will happen now that Hermione is running for mayor.

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 17 "Trinity" Review

Still reeling after learning about Lena's secret, Supergirl asks Guardian for a favor that could alter his relationship with Lena forever. Meanwhile, with all three Worldkillers united, Supergirl and the team brace for an epic battle.

This was a really great and entertaining episode that did an amazing job of setting a lot of things up for what is to come. I enjoyed all the scenes with Sam in this parallel dimension that she gets stuck in when Reign takes over. Just all the moments of Sam trying to not forget who she is and helping out some of the other world killers was just really well done. Then the moments of Supergirl, Lena, and Alex going into this parallel dimension to try and reach Sam and get her back in control of her own body was really entertaining. Which all lead up to a great final fight where Alex got some cool new weapons and we got to see the end of two of the world killers. Which that ending was the one part that confused me because if the two other world killers besides Reign were so disposable and Reign could just have their powers herself what was even the point of having them there in the first place. Then everything with Lena and Supergirl revolving around Lena gaining the ability to create Kryptonite was an interesting side story but it felt so heavy handed with how hard they tried to make the two of them not see eye to eye. Because yes I could see both sides of there argument with Lena bringing up how thousands of things can kill humans each day and people just live with those things, but I also understand Supergirls argent that none of those things hurt like Kryptonite does. Then bringing James into all of this and kind of making him pick a side was really great and so interesting to see the decisions he made. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and interesting episode to watch and I'm curious to see what will happen next.

The Flash Season 4 Episode 17 "Null and Annoyed" Review

Barry and Ralph try to find the remaining bus metas before DeVoe gets them. However, Ralph's attitude frustrates Barry and they clash over what it means to be a hero. Meanwhile, Breacher returns to ask Cisco for a favor.

This was a really great and entertaining episode that had a lot of really fun moments to it. The main villain in this episode of Null was a little confusing on her powers because they didn't explain them greatly and they were just done really sloppily in my mind. Yes, it was really entertaining to watch Null float things in the air use that as her way to steal things and the problems that come to the Flash because of her powers. Then the conflict between Barry and Ralph was interesting to see especially by the end of the episode where both of them learn something out of the conflict and we got to learn a bit more about Ralph's backstory. I did really love the Iris finally called Barry out for his bullshit when it came to all his complaint about Ralph's attitude because it really did seem like from the beginning Barry was trying to turn Ralph into him which is just not right. Then everything with Cisco and Breacher was just such an amazing side story that was so funny. I didn't much care for how much Cisco was willing to lie just for the hope of seeing Gypsy again. But still, it was really great seeing Cisco and Breacher interacting with each other and the topic around how Breacher is too old now for his powers to work. Then just overall this was a really amazing episode that was so much fun to watch.  

Legion Season 2 Episode 9 "Chapter 17" Review

Inner demons take control.

This was a really interesting but slow episode that did have a lot of great moments to it. Everything around Melanie in this episode was interesting because we finally have gotten to see all of what she has been up to this season. Which basically has been that she has been taken over by Farouk through Oliver coming and talking to her about what she needs to do so that they can be back together. Which I did really love seeing some of the flashback moments of what things were like when Melanie and Oliver were younger as well as the good build up to the events that happened at the end of the last episode. Then everything with Cary and Kerry was great with them finally getting their mission from David on what they need to do to help him out which was they needed to deliver a weapon from Division 3 to this random parking lot outside of a motel. I really loved how this episode kept Cary and Kerry separated so they could interact with each other more and we could see the separation growing between Cary and Kerry. But having them separated so often and Cary's hard work to make Kerry more independent makes me really worried that something might happen to Carry. Then what was all going on with Lenny once she escaped Division 3 was really great because we saw her attempting to go back to her normal life but the want to help David was still there lurking in the back of her mind. The addition of having Amy come back as sort of a conscience for Lenny was a really great idea because they are such opposites of personalities and it just is a really great way to keep Amy around. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I'm excited to see what will happen next as the final showdown is about to start. 

Code Black Season 2 Episode 7 "Step Up" Review

Rox decides to make amends with her former step coach when she arrives to Angels Memorial with the local high school step team after a pyramid stunt goes wrong. Also, Noa pleads with Leanne and Campbell to try any other method before performing an emergency hysterectomy on a young teenage girl experiencing complications after giving birth.

This was a really great episode that had so many amazing and fun moments to it. I really loved the moments around Rox and learning a bit more about her rocky past and how she got to where she is. Then everything around the rivaling dance teams seemed a little too overdramatic and made very little sense because why would the other dance team show up to the hospital to randomly fight when none of there team was being treated there. But that being said the two teams final dance battle at the end of this episode was really great. Then everything around Elliot and Willis's father was really great with Willis's father giving Elliot the confidence he needs to remember that he is a good doctor and that he knows what he is doing. Then everything with Noa and Leanne was really great with how everything was handled around the teenage girl who had given birth and the girls mother who didn't want a baby to ruin her daughter's life. Then the slow reveal of the truth about why Noa is so protective of the teenage girl was great with the knowledge being shared that at one point in her life Noa was the teenage girl and things didn't go well for her so she wants a better life for this other girl. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I'm excited to see what will happen next.

Legion Season 2 Episode 8 "Chapter 16" Review

David gets a lead on where a certain person's body might be, and he has a crazy plan to get there.

This was a really interesting episode that was really kind of boring and nothing in this episode was very impactful it was more just a lot of set up for the episodes to come. It was really cool to watch David put thoughts in peoples heads on how they're going to help him find the body, then actually watching some of them start going on there missions to help was fun. I did really love the scene where Syd and Clark are talking about David and how much of a problem he is and could be in the future and it was really great to see Syd evaluating her life with David and finally seeing some aspects of there relationship without the "love goggles" on. Then the little interlude in this episode talking about Plato's cave theory and how that and smartphones relate to the idea of people not caring about things that aren't right in front of them, that whole thing was a really great moment but it seemed really out of place and I could figure out how it tied back into everything else that is going on in this episode. Everything with Melanie in this episode made me both really angry and excited because I'm angry with how they have been treating Melanie in this season because she was such a strong and great character last season and now she has been withered to almost nothing. But I'm also excited to see what a mind-controlled Melanie might get up to in the episodes to come. Then just overall this was a really boring and unimportant episode and I'm very curious to see what will happen next. 

Code Black Season 3 Episode 6 "Hell's Heart" Review

Willis and Rox are called to the scene of a wildfire in the mountains of Los Angeles to tend to the injured firefighters, and they choose to stay to look for a missing young boy who was separated from his father in the chaos.

This was a really entertaining and great episode that had a lot of really amazing moments to it. Everything around Willis and Rox in this episode was really great with how they dealt with the thing that came there way while working in an active forest fire. It was especially great when they managed to get inside a kids mind and figure out where the hiker's son might have gone when the fire started up. And Willis finally opening up more about his relationship with his father and just more of his backstory overall was really interesting to see and I can't wait to see more. Then everything with Leanne and her dealing with her upcoming evaluation about how Ariel is adjusting was interesting with how everything turned out. The relationship between Ariel and Mario in this episode was really great with Mario learning that he needs to be there to accept that Ariel will make mistakes and he can help her through them. Everything with Eliot was interesting with him doubting his skills and always needing a second opinion even though he knows what to do and that hesitation is putting his patients lives at risk. Angus having to step up and take over because Campbell had family issues was really entertaining to see how Angus reacted when all the stress was put on him. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next.

Legion Season 2 Episode 7 "Chapter 15" Review

A delusion starts like any other idea ... But ends in disaster.

This was a really great episode with a lot of great moments to it. There wasn't a whole lot of David in this episode but what they did show was really great. With David finally confronting the Shadow King about what happened to his sister and making a statement that he will do whatever it takes to kill the Shadow King, all of that was just so amazing. Then everything with Syd, Ptonomy, Clark, and Kerry was just really great with there delusion and question about Admiral Fukyama taking over in drastic ways that they believe he is a lizard monster set to eat them and they decide to try and kill him before he can. I'm very curious to see what they are going to do with Ptonomy now that he is dead and kind of stuck in this weird cyberspace. The Shadow King going into the future to talk to the future version of Syd was really great especially with what it revealed, which was that without the Shadow King David becomes the villain. And that sounds like a great plot in the future if it comes true or I'm very excited to see what everyone will do to stop it from happening. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I'm excited to see what will happen next. 

Code Black Season 3 Episode 5 "Cabin Pressure" Review

Over the radio, Leanne and Jesse talk a young girl through how to use the supplies on board a small plane to build a makeshift defibrillator when her mom, the pilot, loses consciousness. Also, Rox and Willis are taken hostage at gunpoint while on their way to meet the plane at the landing site. Julitta Scheel, Marcia Gay Harden’s daughter, stars as Ruby Harris, the young girl on the plane.

This was a really amazing and interesting episode that had a lot of great moments to it. Everything around that girl in the plane with her mother was just amazing with the doctor having to teach the girl everything she needed to do in order to save her mother and get both of them to the ground safely. Especially when it came to the doctor have to create a defibrillator out of the thing that the girl had on the plane with her. Then everything with Willis and Rox was interesting with them being held hostage by a man whose girlfriend got shot in a robbery gone wrong. It was especially great with how Diego got dragged into the situation and was the one to help Willis and Rox to get out of it. Everything with Campbell and Angus was interesting with one of there patients refusing to let Campbell touch him and Angus having to deal with that. Then just overall this was a really interesting and entertaining episode to watch and see how everything played out.

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 16 "Of Two Minds" Review

Supergirl and Imra have different ideas on how to stop the third Worldkiller, Pestilence. However, when both Alex and Winn are seriously injured by Pestilence, Supergirl and Imra team up to stop the destruction.

This was a really great and amazing episode that had so many entertaining moments to it. I really loved how they did Pestilence in this episode and the journey to find her. It was really interesting how they decided to change the lore around Pestilence where it was previously thought that the people who get sick and die just need to be exposed to Pestilence and then to other sick people but in this episode the team discovered that the only way to get sick is if you come in direct contact with Pestilence. Then it was really interesting to see the team try and narrow down who Pestilence might be by looking at the small group of people first exposed and in that they do find her but not directly as they first thought. Then Pestilence's whole goal in this episode was interesting with her targeting the rich who refuse to freely help the sick and needy. Everything around Sam and Lena was great with Lena trying to get Sam to confront Reign and Lena discovering that when Reign come out Sam goes to a parallel universe. The ending of this episode was amazing with Supergirl finally discovering who Reign is and all three of the Worldkillers are brought together. Then moments between Imra and Supergirl were interesting with how they handled working together but having to different goals in mind just to discover as a whole they were fighting for the same goal which was to save their sisters. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next.

Legion Season 2 Episode 6 "Chapter 14" Review

What could have been...

This was a really great and fun episode that is a little disappointing because it was definitely a filler episode that had nothing to do with the main plot of the season but it still was a really amazing stand-alone episode. It was such an interesting episode because the way I interpreted the episode it was all focused on David's broken mind coming up with ways to cope with the loss of his sister and in that he created multiple realities to see different ways his and his sister's lives could have gone. I really don't know how to describe this episode as a whole so I'm going to break it down between the five different lives of David that we are introduced to. The first one is a life where David somehow becomes the richest man in the world and because he is so focused on work he has little of a relationship with his sister and this was an interesting life to see because it showed a bit of an evil side to David that I hope gets explored a bit more. Then there is a version of David where he is completely taken over by his illness and is homeless because of it and this was a great life to see just how out of control David's powers could be. Then there is the life where David is taken over by the drugs to stop his illness and in that life, he is more like a sleepy robot but it is also the life where he has the closest relationship to his sister. The life that I wish they would have gone more into detail with was the version of David where he is at a dinner talking about multiple realities and he really seems like a version of David where his own self-medication from illegal drugs have taken over his life. I wish they would have gone into more detail with this version to show more of what his life is like and what his relationship with his sister is like but still, it is kind of understandable why we got very little of this version because he kind of served as a narrator for the whole episode. Finally, there was the David we already know and have been following from the beginning but this episode gave more detail of Davids relationship with his sister and some events all leading up to him going to Clockworks which was so interesting to see. Then it was really interesting with how each of the version of David dying at some point in the episode except for the David we know so I'm wondering how much is that foreshadowing that for everyone to live in peace David has to die. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and amazing episode to watch and I can't wait to see what the next episode will bring.
