Scorpion Season 2 Episode 20 "Djibouti Call" Review


Scorpion is sent on a secret mission to Djibouti, Africa. Cabe is captured. The Team must save him. While Walter has suspicions about the purpose of the mission and concerns over Paige's interest in new Homeland protégé, Tim Armstrong.

This was a really interesting episode that took a little bit of a different turn to the show. I really enjoyed the idea of bringing in someone new to the group because everything was getting a bit too comfortable and the group needs a bit of discomfort when there back at the main base. And I really like Tim and I hope he sticks around because I'm not a big fan of Paige and Walter being together with how Walter is acting right now but maybe he will change a bit with Tim getting in between the two of them.I was really hoping for this episode to be about Cabe and Tim going out on their own mission without the team, but that didn't work out and they all got involved in the greater mission fairly quickly. And the whole undercover part of this mission with everyone working there individual parts was done really well in how everyone was split up into groups of two. I really wish to learn more about Tim and like I said I really just want to see more of him. Overall this was a really great episode that I really enjoyed.

The Flash Season 2 Episode 14 "Escape from Earth-2" Review


On Earth-2, the team asks for help from an unexpected source to find Zoom's lair, while on Earth-1, Caitlin tries to perfect Velocity-9 so Jay can stop the Geomancer.

This was a really great episode that did a great job at showing both Earth 1 and Earth 2 equally. It was really fun to see Jay work on getting his speed back and him and Caitlin working together to better the Velocity serum. But for some reason in this episode, the Geomancer seemed a little pointless in my mind for some reason. He just seemed to get thrown in at moments when Jay needed him to be there and that was it, it just felt a little weird for me. Then Earth 2 was also really great with Wells and Cisco going to Killer Frost for help and I really wish to see more of her in the future. The moments with Wells's daughter and Barry being trapped together with the mysterious other person was also really great and I really want to know who that other person was. And if what they were trying to tell Barry is that Jay is Zoom. Overall I really loved this episode and I can't wait to see the next one. 

Once Upon A Time Season 5 Episode 17 "Her Handsome Hero" Review


Belle turns to Rumplestiltskin with hope of finding a way to protect their child from Hades. However, they disagree over whether to use dark magic, as Belle forbids Rumplestiltskin from using his powers for evil.

This was a really good episode but not the greatest of episodes. I really enjoyed seeing Gaston in this episode and seeing how the writers decided to take his character. And they did so well because for all intensive purposes Gaston is a prince charming made out to be a villain in the Beauty and the Beast storyline. The writers did an amazing job at showing this very prince charming side to Gaston that by the end I was falling in love with him. It was also really nice to see a bit more flashbacks of Belle because there haven't been much on her backstory before she met Rumple until this episode. The whole part with Emma kind of seeing the future was really boring. And the only really great part I can think of for this episode where all the moments with Gaston, and the dinner scene with Zelena and Regina. Overall this episode felt really long and seemed to have very little point to it.

Scorpion Season 2 Episode 19 "Ticker" Review


When Los Angeles' blood supply is hacked and deemed unusable because of fear it's been tainted, Team Scorpion must find the culprit in order to save a young girl in desperate need of a heart transplant.

This was a really great episode that did a great job at introducing characters and making everything come full circle at the end. The beginning where Walter gets into a car accident is a great example of this where that accident helps to get the team to the hospital as well as introduce them to Olivia the girl who needs a heart transplant. Just the whole flow of this episode was really great. I really enjoyed the part where Toby has to analyze the main guy who caused all the problems with the blood to be able to find the code to fix all the problems. The scene with the team have to get the blood back from the truck while it was on the road was also really great. I'm curious to know how realistic it is that a team would start surgery on someone without the blood needed being there. And the ending where the whole team waited the 12 hours with Olivia's mother was really sweet and a great moment. And then the lesson that Walter learned from this episode which was to make every moment count was really sweet. Overall I really loved this episode.    


Agents of SHIELD Season 3 Episode 14 "Watchdogs" Review


Agent Mack and his brother step in when a radical group called the Watchdogs plan to eliminate the Inhumans; Simmons finds a powerful chemical compound.

This was a really great that showed a little bit different side of many of the characters. I really liked seeing another side of Mack because up until this point most of life was a mystery to me. I was really sad again when they kept bringing up Hunter and Bobbi because that really is a wound in my heart that I want to heal and not keep getting reopened. So hopefully in each episode, they don't keep bringing it up. The scenes with Coulson and Lincoln were not really what I was expecting, but one of the lines were very true that Lincoln is really only there for Dasiy. It was also a little weird to see a different side of Coulson when he was talking to Felix Blake. And it was nice in my mind that they eventually did show Felix in a wheelchair because when they first showed him fully standing I was a little turned away because there was no way he could have made a full recovery after what Deathlok did to him. Overall this was a very enjoyable watch.

Code Black Season 1 Episode 17 "Love Hurts" Review


Christa must put aside her personal feelings for Grace and work with her to treat Brody, a patient who claims to have been abused at a camp for troubled teens. Also, Grace is surprised when Campbell asks her out.

This was a very interesting episode that was very entertaining. I really enjoyed the whole zombie con accident and the joke that went along with it were one of the doctors say "I don't know which injuries are fake and which ones are real." I feel like Angus and him taking those pills is going to eventually come back to bite him in some way or another. I really don't know how I feel about Grace because at some moments I really find her annoying, but at others, I want to find out more about her. I really love the scene where Campbell is telling the little girl the story about the princess, it was really nice to see a side of him that wasn't really grumpy. The two VIP people I also didn't really know I to feel about them because I enjoyed some parts of their story but for the most part I was really bored of them. Brody's whole story was really well done because it was really well done in not revealing the truth until the end. Overall I really enjoyed this episode And I can't wait for the next one.   

Gotham Season 2 Episode 14 "The Ball of Mud and Meanness" Review


Alfred and Selina help Bruce on his quest to find his parents' killer Matches Malone. Meanwhile, Gordon follows up with Edward Nygma on Kristin Kringle's whereabouts. Hugo Strange continues his treatment to reduce Penguin's aggression.

This was a really interesting and really well done episodes. in the past episodes there really seemed to be one story plot that was better then all the others and really seemed to be better organized, but in this episode every switch of character seemed to be just as well done. I loved the parts with Nygma and the growing fear that he has that everyone else is going to find out the truth about Kringle. And it was just great to see the more Riddeler side of him. I actually enjoyed watching Bruce in this episode because him and Alfred actually going out into the city and watching them interacting with the other citizens was really funny. Then in the end when Bruce finally confronted Matches it was really great that he chose the path of revenge that he did and I'm curious to see how that death might weigh on him in the future. And I'm curious to see of Bruce and Alfred's relationship might be altered after how this episode ended. I don't think Bruce will manage to live outside of the mansion for very long but we'll see. Then Dr. Strange and Penguin were really fun to see Penguin have to go through all these test and eventually end up being able to leave because he was deemed as cured. Overall this was a really great episode that I really enjoyed watching.
