Scorpion Season 2 Episode 2 "Cuba Libre" Review


When a woman from Cabe's past asks for help apprehending a war criminal, the members of Team Scorpion travel to Cuba.

This is defiantly a way better episode then the first one. Except for the one scene when Page is getting out of the water Baywatch style. This was a very high stakes but funny episode that I really enjoyed. The whole bank robbing scene was my favorite with how clever all the things they did to get into and out of the bank. And the whole episode was very energetic and fast paced and way more enjoyable to watch compared to the last episode. I wasn't a big fan of the one girl from Cable's past she was a little off by the quick changing of her emotions but over all it was a really good episode.


Gotham Season 2 Episode 2 "Knock Knock" Review


After his reinstatement, Gordon tackles the deadly inmate escape from Arkham Asylum; Bruce turns to a friend of his father's for help; Nygma tries to ask Kristin Kringle out.

This was a very good introduction of the villains episode. Jerome and his group of villains did a very good job of creating panic in Gotham, I just wish they would have used Barbra for more then just a toy to lead Gorden in the wrong direction. They seem to have it all set up now with the heroes all back together and a bunch of villains to deal with.I am very exited to see what will happen next.

Quantico Season 1 Episode 1 "Run" Review


One of the diverse recruits -- the best and the brightest -- who arrives at the FBI Quantico Base for training is suspected of masterminding a terrorist attack.

This was a very good first episode to introduce a lot of the characters and held up to the expectation I was hopping for it. I love the idea that you meet the terrorist as one of the main characters and they only give you just enough information that you have to figure out who the criminal is as well. This is another show that I kind of wish wasn't told in flashbacks, but instead you see the whole back story in time and then move onto this other story about the terrorist attack. This show is also very willing to kill off main people, with getting ride of two of them just in the first episode. I'm very exited to see what they'll do in the next episode and for me at least every character seems to be fully willing to be the master criminal in disguise.  

Once Upon a Time Season 5 Episode 1 "The Dark Swan" Review


Those searching for Emma receive help from unexpected allies; Emma struggles to resist her dark urges as she tries to find Merlin before her transformation is complete.

This was a very great season opening episode with a lot seeming to happen in this one episode. Compared to there usual style where they drag problems out over many episodes most that came up seemed to be solved. I loved the characters of Merida and Merlin and still on the fence about Author so will see when more episodes come up. It's a little annoying that they decided to go back to what they did in seasons prier with having everyone go on an adventure but then have no one remember it. It does make a good story to be able to show Emma in her full dark one form, but it would have been fun to see the adventure not in flashback form. but we'll see what the writers do with the story next.

Heroes Reborn Season 1 Episode 1 "Brave New World" Review


People with extraordinary abilities go into hiding after they are blamed for a devastating terrorist attack; Luke and Joanne Collins are determined to avenge the loss of their son; a conspiracy theorist looks for Noah Bennett

This 2 hour opener did get a little long with trying to introduce some of the new characters as well as bring back some of the old. This is defiantly a show that you need the original Heroes and watch the little extra videos that they put out on YouTube to get the full understanding of what is going on. So it really seems hard for anyone new to the series to understand what is fully going on. I only got through 1 1/2 seasons of the Heroes so a lot of the stuff that the bring up I'm confused and don't fully understand because I haven't learned about it yet. I really love the character of Katana Girl and exited to see what happens with her next. I think the whole thing with Clare is a little weird because she is invincible so how could she have died in that explosion was weird on why they even tried to put that in our heads. I do really enjoy the series of Heroes so I will keep watching this I'm just a little sad that it is only aimed for the old fans and makes it difficult for the new fans to get into the series.

Young and Hungry Season 2 Episode 17 "Young and Trashy" Review


After Gabi and Sofia learn that the thrift-store turtleneck they purchased for Josh once belonged to Steve Jobs, they try to get it back.

This was a very funny episode with an ending I really didn't expect. I mean the whole Steve Jobs t-shirt thing I guessed the minute they brought up his name. But the rest was just crazy but funny. The whole bobble head thing was kind of creepy. The line that Gabi brought up to Josh was very inspirational that even Steve Jobs had some filers. In the end Yolanda got to have some fun messing with Elliot, and this was a very great episode.

Young and Hungry Season 2 Episode 16 "Young and How Sofia Got Her Groove Back" Review


Gabi attempts to keep Sofia from moving back to Florida. Elliot and Yolanda's exercise routine yields more pain then gain. Josh is emasculated following a date with a spin instructor.

This was a very funny and good episode that seemed to give each character a good amount of screen time. I felt the acting for Sofia was a little off on how sad she was (or was not) for having to move back to Florida. But I do love that she finally has a job again after making her stoop as low as the show put in this episode. The whole olive oil comparison joke was really funny and well done. Over all a really funny episode and I'm exited to see what will happen next.
