The Flash Season 2 Episode 23 "The Race of His Life" Review

After Zoom reveals his true plan, Barry vows to do whatever it takes to stop him.

This was a really great episode that had some turns to it that I wasn't expecting. I did like that the rest of the team decided to lock Barry up for the fact that he was being too emotional at the time because of the death of his father, and if Barry went out there and tried to face Zoom like that then he probably would have ended up dead. Then the team going out and trying to face Zoom without Barry was very interesting in how they went about doing it and in my mind for Catlin's part I went back and forth for a bit on whether or not she was a hologram. But the whole idea of how they decided to get Joe back when he got pulled in with Zoom was kind of stupid, because it was just like they all said that they wouldn't reopen the portals but because Barry and Wally didn't agree to that decision somehow it is okay for all of them to break that agreement. Zoom's whole secret plan in my mind was not all that great and I think it might have been slightly better if Team Flash didn't already know everything about it because for so long now Zoom has been keeping it a secret just to wind up having Team Flash already know everything about it. Having the clone runners was fun with both Zoom and Flash doing it at some point in the episode. The final part of showing who the man was in the metal mask was great but not as much of a surprise to me because one of my friends spoiled it for me, but still, it was really nice. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait to see what the next season will bring.  

Agents of SHIELD Season 3 Episode 22 "Ascension" Review

In the conclusion to "Absolution," S.H.I.E.L.D. must spring into action to combat Hive.

This was a really great episode to wrap up all that has gone on in this season and the episode was actually pretty well organized for all the stuff they needed to wrap up in this episode. I really kind of liked that the whole episode had Daisy as the sort of lead. The beginning of the episode where Daisy is trying to be taken back by Hive was interesting with the fact that he wanted to but couldn't, because how I originally thought it would go was that he would just straight up go and say no to her pleas because she left him. The doctor Radcliffe was great in this episode for the fact that he really is just there to get blamed for everything and look lost. I don't know how I feel about Yo-yo pulling a Quicksilver and getting hit by a bunch of bullets to save a friend, but at least in this instant, Yo-yo did say that she tried to catch them but wasn't fast enough. Instead of being like Quicksilver and being fast enough to catch the bullets but for some reason didn't. The moment where Coulson was talking to Hive was really great too with the true comment that the team rarely ever listens to is order if they go against what they think is right, and the ending Star Wars reference was the greatest. Bringing back in Daisy's vision of the future where she saw an agent dying out in space was really well done in how it was organized and drops little symbolic hints of who it might be. Then, in the end, having Hive on the ship with that dying agent was a nice way to wrap everything up with his part in the story, but it also felt odd that that was the only way they could come up with to actually kill Hive. Overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait to see what the next season will bring in with the introduction of Ghost Rider. 

Gotham Season 2 Episode 21 "A Legion of Horribles" Review

Hugo Strange welcomes a familiar face to Gotham after he resurrects Fish Mooney in Indian Hill. Meanwhile, Bruce discovers a friend is in danger and teams up with Gordon, Alfred, and Lucius while uncovering more of his experiments.

This was a very interesting episode that I really don't know how I feel about it. This whole episode was really about Bruce and Gordon breaking into Arkham to find Selina and to hopefully stop Stange once and for all. but this, of course, didn't go as planned and they ended up getting captured. Which was interesting in how it made it seem like Strange knew from the very beginning that they were all there and why they were there and he just let them believe that they had the upper hand over him for the first time but that was not true. And the fact that Strange finally let Strange join the team and be the one to interrogate Lucius and Bruce make me very curious to see what he might do to them in the next episode. The person who was resurrected at the beginning of this episode was weird at first but once the episode showed him again near the end it made a bit more sense and I can't wait to see what this new imposter Gordon might do. Fish Mooney was great in this episode for the little bit that she was in it and I really enjoy her possible new ability. Selina and Fireflies scenes were really great as well and I kind of can't wait to see them again in the next episode now that they are working together. Overall this was an okay episode and I can't wait to see the next one.  

Arrow Season 4 Episode 22 "Lost in the Flood" Review

Following the shocking events in the previous episode, Oliver and Diggle race to rescue Thea, while Felicity, Curtis, and Noah join together to stop Darhk.

This was a very interesting and exciting episode that really to some degrees could have been the season finally in itself. So this episode is finally about the rest of team Arrow realizing that Thea being gone so long and not answering her phone might be a problem, so they finally go out and try and find her. And the one entrance that was shown to lead into Darhk's secret underground town was a little weird to me with how all the entrances seem designed and the location of this one entrance to everything else in that underground town. Because when they eventually leave at the end of this episode they leave from the same tunnel they came in, so from all the different locations they went to underground how far away was that entrance from them especially at the end when everything is falling apart around them. The part with Thea having to take one of the yellow pills seemed really off to me because it was definitely a necessary scene to explain her character for this episode, but the way the scene was done was just weird and kind of awkward. Anarky in this episode was really great and again really fun to see. And the fact that he got away again makes me really excited to see him again in the future. All the parts with Felicity and her family were kind of fun, especially the scene where Felicity left Curtis alone with them. The part with Felicity's mother saying that they are the ones who actually ran away from her father and not the other way around seem really interesting to me for some reason. Then also bringing back Felicity's old hacker ex-boyfriend in this episode was a little fun. But I felt that with the fact that her ex mostly uses stolen code from her that she could easily code around it, and it seemed like there was a bit of that but mostly they just seemed to be going toe to toe and Curtis is the one who managed to beat him. Overall I really loved this episode and it is definitely going on my favorites list.  

The Flash Season 2 Episode 22 "Invincible" Review

Zoom unleashes an army of Earth-2 meta-humans, the leader of which is Black Canary's doppelganger, Black Siren; Joe worries when Wally goes out to help The Flash.

This was a very interesting episode that at first some things kind of confused me. One of the main things was when Henry was talking about Zooms plans and what he did to Earth-2 in past episodes and he said that Zoom gathered all these random meta-humans and now he's doing it again. I though what he meant was that Zoom was gathering meta-humans from Barry's earth and that was who we saw with Zoom at the end of the last episode, but it turns out they are just the meta-humans from Earth-2 so what about all the meta-humans on Barry's Earth, where are they. I agree with most of the team that Barry's attitude in this episode was a little annoying with how confident and happy he was like nothing could hurt him, meanwhile the city around him is crumbling. I did really like seeing a darker Laurel and her running around the city with her meta-human mutation basically being her screech device that Barry's Earth's Laurel had but this time it is really just her voice. I also really liked the scene where Caitlin and Cisco dress up as their Earth-2 doppelgangers to try and distract Laurel, and it worked for a bit. The ending of this episode was amazing and I can't wait to see what the next episode will bring.

Once Upon a Time Season 5 Episode 22 "Only You" Review

Regina grieves over Robin Hood's death and Henry sets out to destroy all magic.

This was a very interesting episode that I don't know how I feel about it. I'm not saying it was bad, but it defiantly was a Once Upon a Time finally where it is broken up into two parts so really this whole episode is just setup for what all will happen in a much better second part in the next episode hopefully. I agree with Regina on how Emma was treating her in this episode that it is not fair that when Emma is sad and grieving she and continue on and everyone is on her side, but when Regina is sad everyone thinks she should sit on the sidelines and they are afraid of her and afraid that she might become the evil queen again. Both Rumpelstiltskin and Henry's plans seemed really kind of weird and not thought out in my mind. Just Rumpelstiltskin on a quest to become more powerful and save Belle I just really don't know what I think of that plan. Then with Henry, it was nice to see him taking matters into his own hand and it was cool to see magic in the real world and all of that. But it just seemed so much like Henry was pulling on random strings here and there and the writers were just trying to bring things back into play and make everything have a reason. I also really like all the parts with Snow, Charming, Zelena, and Hook, especially the introduction of a new world and some new characters. And I recognized part of one of the new charterers right away but figuring out which part he is and who the other part is was a surprise and I hope to see even more of both parts in the future. Even though I don't know how I feel about what seems to be a change in the cause of their problems being possibly because of magic instead of science. But that thought of mine could be wrong and the magic part of his life could just be because of the world the writers put this character in. Overall I really like this episode and I can't wait to sit down and see what the second part will bring.       

Agents of SHIELD Season 3 Episode 21 "Absolution" Review

It's a showdown a season in the making as S.H.I.E.L.D. takes on Hive, and when his master plan is finally revealed, the team must spring into action.

This was a really interesting episode that did a really good job of keeping a good flow and seemed to go by really quick. It was interesting that for this whole episode they kept Daisy in basically quarantine while she got over her withdrawal from Hive. Which that was nice to see both sides of people like Simmons who was following the quarantine rules and then people like Mack to broke the rules just to fully make sure she was okay. The part in the beginning of the episode between Simmons and Daisy was also kind of sad when Daisy made the comment that they are only sending Simmons in to check on her because Simmons is the only Daisy didn't hurt in some way while she was under control by Hive. Then the whole scene where some of the team was at the mission launch base had some really great and funny moments. Like the moment when Fitz is trying to get the codes to stop the launch followed by Radcliffe talking to the new forms of the Watchdog agents to try and figure out a way to restart the launch. Then the moment between Yo-yo and Mack was great with Yo-yo complaining about how slow Mack is working and then at the last minute she quickly finished everything and handed it off to Lincoln to give the machine an electric charge instead of finishing the work to plug it into the wall like I think the original plan might have been if they were given more time. Then I wonder how they thought taking Hive back to the base was ever going to be a good idea. And in this episode, it defiantly had the moment of to much good stuff happened in the beginning that there had to be some bad at the end to even it out, which there was plenty. And the twist ending with Daisy makes me very curious where the final episode might take them. Overall I really loved this episode and it had a lot of great parts to it.
