Arrow Season 4 Episode 16 "Broken Hearts" Review
Following the events of William's kidnapping, Darhk has become less powerful, but Carrie Cutter, a.k.a. Cupid has emerged into Star City to cause chaos on the city and the Green Arrow.
This was a really great episode especially for one bringing back Cupid and doing it well because I kind of had forgotten all about her but then as she was in this episode I completely remember why I love her so much. I did like that her whole rampage somewhat had changed where instead of her pining over the Arrow and over love it changed slowly to trying to destroy love for everyone because of the fact that she believes that the two people that she has loved are both dead. But we are well aware of the fact that that's not true. And I was a little confused because I had forgotten that Carrie doesn't actually know who the Green Arrow is so and she's hunting down Oliver unaware that he is also the person that she was once in love with. And this episode did do a fairly good job at the awkwardness between Felicity and Oliver now that they are no longer a couple but they still are working together. And I loved all the court scenes in this episode where they're trying to take down Darhk but not doing a great job at it they don't have enough evidence on him until Laurel's father finally decides to take the stand because he is more than enough evidence but the problem is that that same evidence will incriminate him. So it is that big back and forth decision of whether or not to put him on the stand which eventually they do but there is that turn back around from there that they now have to deal with. Overall I really really love this episode and there were so many great parts to it and I absolutely can't wait to see what the next episode with what this episode ended with.

Agents of SHIELD Season 3 Episode 16 "Paradise Lost" Review
The team hunts for information on a new enemy; Malick’s secret from his past threatens to destroy his Hydra legacy.
This was a decent episode that focused a bit more on Malick then anybody else and finally showed a bit of the group minus Daisy. I really didn’t care at all for the whole back story of Malick and his brother and their dead cheating father. I would have rather gotten to know more about Malick’s daughter and how that part of his life came to be or more about the hydra spirit inside of Ward and more about them. Malick’s whole story seemed so boring and kind of pointless, it was just so bad in my mind. And the whole story added up to what? Malick became like his father or was there suppose to be some other point that I completely ignored. I liked seeing Lincoln and Daisy out together looking for this other inhuman to help them gain information, and how that all turned out was really fun. But how quickly Daisy changed her mind about Lincoln because of what she learned about how he used to be before he changed was kind of stupid. Because she easily agreed with him when he was talking about the emptiness he used to feel before he changed, and she has known since first meeting him that he can be a bit temperamental. So for her to change her opinion on him that quickly was just kind of like why? I did enjoy the ending with Daisy and Lincoln though where they were like well I guess it’s time to get the secret warriors. Overall this was a good episode but not the greatest of ones.

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.
Scorpion Season 2 Episode 21 "Twist and Shout" Review
Team Scorpion's mission to recover the remains of fallen Marines in Vietnam is threatened along with their lives when a deadly tornado heads directly towards them.
This was a very interesting episode that wasn't the newest of ideas but it still kind of felt unique. I really loved the whole plot of them in Vietnam and with every passing minute, they have to speed up their work even more with the massive storm coming there way quicker and quicker. The scene with Paige and Walter going to the old folks home to get a chip out of an ultrasound machine was one of my favorite scenes from this episode because it was planned out really well, and it was set up at first to seem like a very unimportant moment but then it changed to being the most important moment of the whole episode. Then the idea of removing the approaching tornado by cooling it down was done and organized in a really great way that it was made to seem pretty reasonable of an idea. All the scenes with Ralph and Sylvester were not that bad in this episode, even though I wished we could have seen a bit of Ralph's actual speech and not just hear the end results of it because then I could have learned to hate the teacher more. And with how this episode ended for Ralph I'm very curious what the next episode will bring.

The Flash Season 2 Episode 16 "Trajectory" Review
Trajectory arrived in town intent on creating maximum chaos, Trajectory's antics are misinterpreted as having been perpetrated by The Flash himself. Barry thus must quickly. uncover the mystery of who is the girl under the mask and as well as what is driving her mad desire for speed and destruction.
This was a really fun and great episode that took a little bit different turn on the Speedster abilities and how you come about getting them. I did like having the lady Speedster in this episode even know her name of Trajectory was kind of lame in my mind. But having her there with the fact of her not having the speed force but instead she just got her power from the Velocity Nine is kind of unique. And she was just overall a really great villain even though she was mostly only evil because of this serum. It was also nice to have Trajectory be someone that they actually know and not just be some random person that they have to discover . It was also nice in this episode to see Barry working on trying to improve his speed again because he hasn't been doing that a while now. And just seeing all the new tricks that they're doing the try and improve his speed is just great. It was also interesting in this episode to see Iris working on trying not to write this bad article about the Flash so she's trying all these different stuff to try and not write the article. And I'm very curious to see what's going to happen with Iris and her boss now in the future after how this episode ended. And I liked in this episode how it ended with them discovering more about Zoom and why he's doing what he's doing was very interesting and how they decided that he's sick with the fact of the yellow lightning turning blue. And his overall this was a really great and interesting episode that I really enjoyed.
Gotham Season 2 Episode 16 "Prisoners" Review
After Gordon is removed from protective custody, he begins to face new threats and dangers inside prison walls. In order to survive, he must rely on a new friend as well as Bullock and other outside help. Meanwhile, Penguin grows closer to his Father, while his step-mother and step-siblings move forward with their own plans for the family.
This was a really great episode that did an amazing job at focusing only on two different stories and doing a great job at putting a high amount of detail into those two stories. The first story was all about Gordon and his time in prison and all the problems that went along with that. It was fun to see him and how he went from being in this one part of the prison where everyone was alright with him and he was doing fine, to then being moved to the part of the prison with all the people that he's put in there. And just seeing how angry everyone seemed to be at him because the one head of the jail told them to be. I really wish that we could have known more about the one kid who helped to save him because he just seemed to be thrown in there and you get to hear some of his story but he's not really knowing anything about him as a character you've ever been introduced to before, I don't think. Even though I really did enjoy seeing this kid because he was so happy and willing to live in prison because he knew he had to serve his time and that's all he cared about as well as Gordon. And so ending with this kid it was so sad to me. Then the other part in this episode was all about Penguin and his dad and all that family and after I watch the last episode I've had got the feeling that this other family I was only in there to get Penguins father's money so when that all turned out to be true I kind of was like alright, but the way they went about doing it was a little weird. Where they are slowly killing Penguin's father and then they just straight-up try to get rid of Penguin and then tried to kill him. But in the end, none of that seemed to work out cause Penguin is so changed from what it used to be. So I'm very curious to see what's all going to happen with them in the future now that Penguins father is gone. And his overall this was a really great and fun episode.

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.
