Code Black Season 2 Episode 2 "Life and Limb" Review

Willis must help a promising soccer player make a life-altering decision after he's seriously injured, and another patient's hesitation to share that she's transgender makes it difficult for the doctors to diagnose her severe abdominal pain.

This was a really great and entertaining episode that managed to cover a lot of different things but still keeping it all organized in a way that kept everything in order. All the athletes that got injured in the bus crash were very interesting with the mass variety of injuries that all of them had because I think two of them died the captain of the team lost his leg and the rest it seemed like all they had was just some minor to major cuts and bruises. Then the person who hit the bus was a story that I wish they would have shown a bit more of but because of what his injuries were it is understandable as to why he was not shown that much. The captain of the athletes was a little weird to me because it really felt like he kept jumping to drastically different personalities constantly. Then the patient who was transgender was another really interesting story but what her actual problem was I felt was a little to overplayed but that could easily be in place in order to make the new resident that was working on her start to question whether or not he should be there. Which my opinion on him so far I stick him in the or not category. Then the actress resident is starting to get a little annoying but maybe she will come around once she gets a bit more comfortable with her surroundings. Overall I have to say that I really enjoyed this episode and I really am starting to like some of the new characters.  

Arrow Season 5 Episode 1 "Legacy" Review

After Laurel's death and the departures of both Diggle and Thea from Team Arrow, Oliver takes to the streets solo to protect Star City's citizens as the Green Arrow.

This was a really great season opener episode that did a good job of setting some stuff up for the future as well as keeping to some current action for the episode in the moment. I really liked the opener and having the Green Arrow fighting up against Anarchy just seeing that moment right away made me really happy. All the parts with Oliver being the new mayor felt like a lot of harkening back to when he was a CEO or just plain rich and so he was always late or just not doing things right. And because of all that I'm very curious to know why all the other characters think it surprising when he shows up late. I think it would be more surprising if he actually showed up to an event on time. And with Oliver having this double duty of mayor and Green Arrow I don't quite know how I feel about it I think it will probably end up like all his past positions where he is going to chose being the Arrow over everything else. I kind of wish that they would show a bit more of all these potential new recruits because they just show one of the once and then they are only talked about. But maybe in the next episode, they will be shown a bit more. I did really like them finally showing what Laurel said to Oliver before she died and what she ended up saying I was not really expecting, but it also kind of makes a little sense. I really liked the scene where Oliver and Diggle were talking to each other it was a very sweet moment and a great way to kind of end this episode. Then the actual ending was really interesting and hopefully the next episode will explain the ending a bit more. Overall this was a really great first episode and I can't wait to see more.  

The Flash Season 3 Episode 1 "Flashpoint" Review

The Reverse-Flash taunts Kid Flash, and warns of repercussions if Barry continues to forget his old life; when disaster strikes, Barry must decide whether to live as Barry Allen or return to his universe as The Flash.

This was a very interesting episode that had some moments where things were kind of thrown in there to try and cover everyone in this flashpoint world. I really liked seeing the different reality that was the flashpoint world and seeing just how different all the main characters lives are from the world we got to know the past two seasons. I really liked seeing Wally as Kid Flash his costume and way he went about doing things was really interesting. And I really liked what they came up with for Wally's origin story in this timeline where it involved the chemicals from his car that helped give him his speed I thought that was a very interesting way to go about things. Then Iris and Joe as characters in this episode were really interesting with how similar but different the characters were. It was a little weird how quickly Iris excepted the date with Barry even when it was kind of explained that there is a mysterious connection between the two of them. Then the actual moments where Barry fights and finds a way back to the normal timeline was done really well and the twist ending of what actually changed do to Barry messing with the timeline was something that I wasn't expecting. Overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait to see what the rest of this season will bring.  

Scorpion Season 3 Episode 2 "More Civil War" Review

The team learns that the hackers who took control of U.S. naval destroyers are also controlling a U.S. nuclear submarine.

This was a really great second half, but like I said in the first half of this episode because of the fact that they chose to split this up into two episodes the episode felt like it really dragged on and I wasn't the biggest of fan of that. I do have to say that I did like the length to so degree because we got to see more of each of the individual characters and there wasn't too much jumping around to try and cover everything. But it just had too many moments in the 2 hours that just dragged on for longer than I felt was necessary. I liked that this chunk focused more of Sylvester, Cabe and Tim and all of their adventures. I really liked that it showed how much Sylvester has grown in bravery over these seasons with him in this episode being able to be held hostage by a group of people and manage to fully take care of himself and not just sit around waiting for someone else to come get him. Then the entering into the oil pipe to put in magnets to try and regain control of a rogue submarine was a really cool scene but it was also one of the moments where the dragged it on slightly too much with Paige sliding around and not able to walk right because she's wearing the wrong shoes. Then the ending of this episode I really didn't care for because the first chunk of it made it seem like everyone is all happy and okay with each other again just to have it switch at they very ending having everyone leave and go their separate ways in not very good moods. But I do have to say overall I really liked these two episodes and I can't wait to see what the episode to come will bring.

Scorpion Season 3 Episode 1 "Civil War" Review

Team Scorpion must put aside their personal issues when hackers take control of U.S. military aircraft and warships.

This was a really great season opener that had some moments that got a little long but the majority of this episode was done really well. I liked the beginning little moment where Walter goes all the way to Lake Tahoe to tell Paige how he feels. Until it was revealed that Walter had done a bunch of stuff to change around and make Paige each and Tim's date go bad, and then after that I really didn't care much for that relationship again because Walter can't keep up with it. Then the actual mission was very enjoyable, especially with the two aircraft. It course that made me wonder what actually happened the second aircraft that was shut down, because was the guy killed or was he saved or any of the stuff was never really talked about he was shot down and the group went to focus on the other aircraft. The way that they broke up the groups seemed reasonable but with Tim being on edge it just made it all up a huge mess, because it actually is how they would've arranged the groups but because Tim is angry at Walter it made it seem like it wasn't normal when it was. The moments with Toby and Happy were interesting with how Toby tried to do all these mental tricks to try to get Happy to reveal who she's married to. I especially liked when Toby and Happy are working to try and actually save the last aircraft and there doing all the stuff to try and reprogram aircraft while there also argue with each other and everyone else is listening in on the conversation it was very funny and I enjoyed those little moments. Then the moments of Walter and Paige were interesting where they were at the embassy I believe it was and there doing all this hacking just end up getting a rocket shot at them that part was very fun but that whole on the street chunk afterwards got a little annoying because it was way too overdramatic. I don't say with making this episode actually two episodes it was done well but it did get a little long as they drag stuff out and I'll go in more detail with talking about the second episode. But I do have to say overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait to see what the season will bring.

Gotham Season 3 Episode 3 "Look Into My Eyes" Review

Hypnotist Jervis Tetch arrives's in Gotham to search for his sister Alice and hire's Gordon to help find get. Meanwhile, Penguin decides to run for Mayor, and Bruce's doppelganger begins to channel him causing some confusion around town.

This was a really great episode to introduce the Mad Hatter as a villain and he was done so well, in my opinion, Jervis was so creepy and done so well I really enjoyed watching every scene he was in. I'm not as familiar with the Mad Hatter storyline as I am with other character's, so I'm curious to know if Alice is present in the comics as well or if she was just added in. But either way, I really enjoyed Alice and her abilities to have poisonous blood that also is explosive, which is a very weird combination in my opinion but was also really cool. I really liked the scene where Jervis hypnotized Barbra and got her anger and jealous so she ended up nearly killing him, the scene was done so well and put it so that you actually knew what was going to happen. Then the mayor race with Penguin was interesting and I kind of can't wait to see what a government run by Penguin might be like. Bruce and his doppelganger were interesting with how quickly the doppelganger went from just hanging out with Bruce to going out pretending to be his just because he wants to help out Selina. I don't think having two Bruce's wondering around the city is going to last for very long however because Selina or someone is going to figure out this doppelganger is not who he says he is. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for the next episode.

Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 2 "A Bitter Draught" Review

David, Snow and Regina work together to neutralize the threat of a mysterious new arrival; Belle turns to Hook for help hiding from Mr. Gold; Emma resumes her therapy sessions.

This was actually a really interesting episode that I really did enjoy. The main part of this episode with this new/old threat to Prince Charming and Snow White was really interesting with him saying that he was working for the Evil Queen because he wasn’t wrong but he also wasn’t fully right. And that little twist chunk of the truth of who he was actually working for was kind of cool and I enjoyed that. But I’m not fully sure who the character was though because all he was referred to as was the Count of Monte Cristo, so who he was and his goals was kind of confusing because I don’t really remember him from many stories I don’t know what his wanted revenge was, but I kind of wish to know it, but I don’t think it will be possible with how this episode ended for him. Then Belles small chunk of this episode was kind of cool with her going to Hook to try and hide from Rumpelstiltskin and having that similarity between Belle and his first wife where they both end up going to Hook to escape from him was kind of fun. And I’m very curious about what the tie is between David and his father and this coin that he got at the end of this episode how that all ties together I can’t wait to see that and hopefully is not too long of a wait. I kind of understand what evil queen was up to but it doesn’t fully make sense to me because if she’s making Regina another evil queen how is that all going to work out. And then Zelena’s whole role was very interesting and I don’t think that Zelena will stick with being friends with the Evil Queen for very long. And the ending where Emma sort of comes to terms with who the person in the white hood might be was interesting, and her ideas are not wrong but I also don’t think it’s good to be who she thinks it is. Overall this was a very enjoyable to watch and I definitely can’t wait for the next episode will bring.
