The Librarians Season 2 Episode 10 "And the Final Curtain" Review


Prospero gains renewed magic that creates havoc with the world's technology. Flynn and Baird must travel back to 1611 to battle Prospero and thwart his scheme to recreate a forest utopia.

This was a really fun, funny, and great season finally episode for the show. I loved the fact that they where so well versed in time travel and had a good set of rules with it so then in the future they aren't using time travel to just fix everything. some of the rules of time travel being that you can only travel back in time and you can only use to same devise to travel back. The connection between Shakespeare and Prospero I was not really expecting but it was but it was a really clever idea and I like how it was all dealt with. The ladies of the lake came back in this episode to help Baird out and I'm really curious to know how they might play into the next season. The ending was also really clever on how they managed to make all these little side facts that were completely random in pervious episodes end up all connecting together at the end of this episode and had everything make since and fix a lot of their problems. Over all this was a really great season finally and I can't wait for the next season.

Jessica Jones Season 1 Review

Jessica Jones (2015) Poster



A former superhero decides to reboot her life by becoming a private investigator.

This was a very amazing, thrilling, and intense first season that I absolutely could not stop watching I just had to know what would happen next for Jessica. This series defiantly seemed to flow a lot better then Dare Devil's first season. With Jessica Jones it really seemed to hit the ground running from the first season with the level of action towards the main plot of getting Kilgrave while in Dare Devil it took a few episode to get to know the characters and stuff before getting into the main plot. Everyone was so well acted and I was so invested with every character and I can wait to find out what might happen with all of them next. The whole season was really well written in the light of what they kept secret and when they choice to give certain facts. Over all this was an amazing first season and I really want more and I'm disappointed that I have to wait a year to get it.

The cop Will Simpson really bugged me from the vary begging of introducing him and now that he has been taking those pills and has basically become a super solder I really kind of hop the next season involves Jessica tracking him down and taking him out. The Idea of having Malcolm as the person stalking Jessica and taking pictures for Kilgrave I think was genius because no one would ever think of him because he always seemed to high he could barely walk on his own. Kilgrave's abilities where really awesome, but I want to know when he was improving his powers near the end he said some thing about his abilities being able to work within 100 feet/yards so then could he be that far away from someone and still give them a command even though they might not be able to directly hear it or did that just mean it works the strongest when he is with in a 100 feet/yards of the person he is controlling. And also his powers adjust the way you think about how to carry out his command like when he told Trish to put a bullet in her head if you were clever enough even under his control could you think to just put the bullet in your mouth or is their more power behind his commands then what is explained. The ending battle was amazing and using Trish as bait to get Jessica to sneak in and having the secret code word between the two of them to prove Jessica is not under Kilgrave's control being "I love you" I think was very clever. I am just amazed still because I was not expecting to love this series as much as I did.

The Librarians Season 2 Episode 9 "And the Happily Ever Afters" Review


The team members scatter, living ideal versions of their lives. However, they're drawn back together to investigate the appearance of Ariel, a sprite, bound to serve Prospero.

This was a really fun episode with Flynn as the main character trying to save all the other librarians. I really liked this episode and how each of the characters had these different life's that applied to their personalities but also didn't. I don't get how the people didn't question the made up lives before because all of them except for Cassandra had to go through pretty hefty job and just plain lives everyday. And how did no one who wasn't a part of the tale not wind up running into the invisible totem pole in the middle of the park. Ariel was really well acted and I hope she might show up in later episodes to help out the team some more. Flynn was also really fun in the episode and it was clever how he managed to get all the librarians back to the library. Over all this was a really fun and well done episode.

Gotham Season 2 Episode 9 "A Bitter Pill to Swallow" Review


Gordon runs into a hitman known as Eduardo Flamingo; Penguin and Nygma have another encounter.

This was a really entertaining and fun episode, but for some reason this episode really seemed to jump around to me. In the episode you follow Gordon's story and the Penguin Nygma story pretty simultaneously with a little bit of Bruce sprinkled in there. All the changes between each storyline felt really awkward because when ever they would switch it would be right as I was getting into the other story and it felt like their where so many tinny things that I had to try and keep track of that I wasn't, but still it was a nice episode. Gordon seems to slowly be losing his sanity with what happened to Barbra and everything else and I really want to see a bit darker Gordon, but I also feel his friends will pull him back to normal before that happens. The flow of assassins that showed up before Eduardo were really cool and had some nice fight scenes. The parts with Penguin and Nygma were a little weird but they might pick up in latter episodes and the two of them get to know each other better. Over all this was a really great episode and a fun watch.

American Horror Story Hotel Episode 8 "The Ten Commandments Killer" Review


John closes in on the Ten Commandments Killer and Sally details her arrangements with Mr. March.

This was a really great coming full circle episode where a lot more truths come out. The truth about John a knew a while ago but it still is nice to hear it as being a fact. It was really cool to see all the flashbacks of John that built him up to be the character he is and exactly how March wanted him, and I can't wait to see how John will be in the future. Sally's whole roll with the Ten Commandments Killer was a little weird in my mind and it really felt like it was only written in to keep her as a important character and not just a background one. The Countess and Donovan being back together again is nice for the story line but also a little boring in my mind, but I want to know if Donovan still wants to kill her as well. Over all this was a very good episode to classify a lot of the stuff that they have been keeping secret until now.

Code Black Season 1 Episode 11 "Black Tag" Review


The doctors find their own lives in danger when they arrive at the scene of a massive multi-vehicle accident on a highway covered in thick fog. Also, Jesse's confidence is shaken following his heart attack, while Carla's condition becomes critical.

This was a really exiting and great midseason finally. Most of the episode took place outside of the ER and you get to see how most of the characters respond to being out in the field during a massive accident. All the tagging was really great but it got a little annoying all the people who they seemed to black tag had family near them and they would fight like crazy to get it changed. I know that the response was realistic but it got a little annoying because it happen several times. Christa and the family stuck away from where others can see them was probably some of the best moments in the episode and I really enjoyed them. Jesse's recovery from his heart attack moments where really fun and the talk between him and Carla was really great. Ant the episode ending really great for Jesse and I'm very happy for that. This episode left off with a lot of cliff hangers and I can't wait for it to come back and find out what happened to everyone.


Code Black Season 1 Episode 10 "Cardiac Support " Review


Leanne is rattled at the thought of losing Jesse as he fights for his life after suffering a massive heart attack. Also, Mario asks the residents to cover for him when he searches the city for a patient's son, disobeying Neal's direct order not to leave the hospital.

This was a really great and amazing episode. The beginning was really exiting and cool, but I wish they would have done a bit more with them because they had the beginning chunk of them and didn't really bring them back until the end with nothing on them in-between. I loved seeing all the moments that showed just how much everyone in the ER loved Jesse. Neal having to take a bit more charge of the residents while Leanne was working with Jesse I feel was a little awkward in how it all seemed to be presented because his moods towards them kept sifting a lot. But this episode did show Mario having a growing heart and not as much of a jerk as he was at the beginning of the season. Over all this was a really great episode and really enjoyable to watch.
