Arrowverse Crossover Day One "Crisis on Earth-X, Parts 1&2" Review

The gang comes together for Barry and Iris's wedding, but the ceremony is crashed by villains from Earth-X.

This was a really great first half that did a nice job of setting things up for whats to come and really bringing everyone together. I really loved how they did the beginning of this episode where they did an introduction of each of the main heroes revolving around them forgetting to turn in there save the date cards for Barry and Iris's wedding. It was especially fun with Supergirl fighting a dominator and making the comment that they were so last year. Then the party before the wedding and the actual wedding was really great with how everything was done and the little nods to characters to come. It was really interesting how they decided to have the heroes meet there evil Earth-X versions of themselves, I didn't much care for the storyline of having Kara and Oliver being married but I did really like the moment of them showcasing the kryptonite arrow. I wish a few more of the Legends would have been around because it felt like a really odd group of Legends members hanging out helping and the rest of them were just missing. Especially Ray I feel could have fit in with everyone else because he is friends with most of the main heroes. Then the reason of why the Earth-Xers were on Earth-1 was kind of weird because they were there for Kara but how did they know she was on Earth-1 and why didn't they go to Earth-23 to look for her. And they didn't really give a reason as to why Overgirl had taken into much solar radiation they just said that she had taken into much and it was killing her. So did Overgirl absorbed the whole sun or something and that explains why Earth-X is so dark or what is going on it was never really explained. But still this was a really great first half to set everything up and I excited to see what they are going to do now the part of the team is trapped on Earth-X. 

Scorpion Season 4 Episode 10 "Crime Every Mountain" Review


Team Scorpion tries to help a father and his daughter when their plane crashes nearby; Paige helps Walter navigate his feelings about Cabe's possible future in prison.

This was a really interesting episode that had a lot of really great moments in it that were entertaining to watch. I really liked the moments with Sylvester and Cabe going around trying to track down Mark but in doing so it was discovered that Mark was playing them to make Cabe seem even more guilty. Just how all those moments turned out and Cabe's big speech at the end was just all really amazing and well done. Then I'm happy that the moment with Paige and Walter being stuck behind a bunch of rocks wasn't a very long scene it was just long enough for Walter to express some of his feelings and then they were saved. Then everything with Happy in this episode was really great with her staying behind with the daughter and trying to understand why the daughter is the way she was. I especially loved the moment when Happy asks the daughter if she is working as a criminal because she wants to or if it is because it is the only life she knows because her father raised her in it. Then the ending of how they managed to stop the criminals from getting away was interesting where they used the fathers love for his daughter against him. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode to watch and see how everything turned out.

Wisdom of the Crowd Season 1 Episode 9 "Proof of Concept" Review


Tanner receives an offer of new evidence in Mia’s case if Sophe can prove someone is innocent of murder; Tanner and Sara begin depositions with AllSourcer for the rights to Sara’s work and Sophe’s code.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that had a lot of really great moments to it. It was really interesting how they found all the clues leading to whether the person is a murderer or not. I don’t really care much for the way this show seems to be going because it really seems like they are using Sophe less and less with each episode and instead they seem to just keep stumbling upon the evidence they need. The whole episode was also written kind of weird with how much this potential murderer kept secret until it became a life or death kind of moment. Like the fact of her story where she stumbled upon her roommate already dead when she got home, even if I was drunk or high out of my mind I feel I would say that right away and not keep that part a secret. Then who the actual murderer was felt like a weird throwaway way to wrap the whole story up. The new evidence that Tanner received about Mia’s case was interesting because it did revile that there was more going on to Mia’s death than just a crime of passion. I did enjoy all the moments with the AllSourcer deposition and Sara share her story of how Sophe came to be. I also really enjoy the fact that AllSourcer doesn’t seem to mind playing dirty in order to get what they want and I’m excited to see where that might take the story in the future. And just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode to watch and see how everything turned out.

The Orville Season 1 Episode 9 "Cupid's Dagger" Review


While the crew attempts to mediate a peace treaty between two warring cultures, tensions rise between Ed and Kelly when a familiar face comes aboard.

This was a really fun and weird episode that had a lot of really interesting moments to it. I really enjoyed all the moments between Ed and Kelly and them struggling with their newfound relationship when they’re and joined by the person who originally tore them apart. And the whole sort of thing around this old acquaintance of theirs was interesting to see how it all turned out once the truth was revealed about what was going on that was causing several the crew members to act out of place. And I just really enjoy the moment where Ed went to the meeting to try and do the peace talks between the two warring cultures and he just wasn’t there because he was focused on other things than just that was really entertaining to watch. And then I also really enjoy the final moment when Kelly brought up that when she was cheating on Ed with this other guy and she wanted to know if he was in heat then so she would know if she didn’t actually have feelings for him or what was actually going on there and the fact that he didn’t answer that fully was really interesting. And then how they actually solve the problem of the two warring cultures was an interesting way to sort of wrap things up but I wish they would have done it better because once everything wore off they would be at war again probably because nothing on the planet was actually resolved. And I kind of wish that the artifact that was being examined was actually the cause of everyone acting weird and not the guy researching it so then the artifact would have played a more important role in this episode. And then the truth coming out of who this artifact actually belongs to I could easily see coming so it was entertaining to see that finally come true and the fact that the two cultures still had to share the planet by the end of all this. And just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode to watch.

American Horror Story: Cult Episode 10 "Charles (Manson) in Charge" Review

Kai begins to unravel as he starts to suspect a traitor in his ranks.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode to watch and see how everything turned out. I really like what they did with the ideas of Kai slowly going insane and how everyone dealt with that in their own ways. And I really like how Ally dealt with it with her sort of working with his hallucinations to stay on his good side and working with him when he had the idea that there is a mole amongst the ranks. But then Winter was sort of on the flip side where is she was trying to get Kai back into the right mindset and trying to distance herself from him to keep herself safe. And I just really enjoyed that whole conversation between Kai and Winter where they’re talking about how they’re always going to stay a family and Winter bring up that once the members of The Cult get what they want to leave him so he has to always remember that she will be the only one who truly sticks by his side. And just how all that turned out was really amazing to watch and see the twists and turns of that whole relationship. Then I really enjoyed all the ideas that they serve took from the Charles Manson Murders and how they sort of took all the ideas that he did in his murders were he was trying to get them to be blamed on other people that weren’t him, and Kai took those ideas and he’s doing with similar sort of way to try and commit a bunch of murderers and blame it the senator he’s running against. The ending of this episode was so great with it being revealed that there actually was a mole and that Kai wasn’t fully hallucinating and I’m just really curious to see how all that’s going to turn out now that Ally knows who the mole is. And just overall this was a really amazing and entertaining episode watch and I’m so excited to see what’s going to happen in the season finale.

The Flash Season 4 Episode 5 "Girls Night Out" Review


Caitlin fears that her past time as Killer Frost may be back to haunt her; Felicity helps celebrate Iris’s bachelorette party, while Barry is taken out for a night on the town.

This was a really fun and entertaining episode that had a lot of really great moments to it especially in the moments with Caitlin. And I really enjoyed the idea that they had for this episode where it was all the girls working together to solve the problem with the main villain in the episode and Berry wasn’t around to help them. How all that was done was really great and fun but I wish they would have put less focus on the idea of it being girl power and more on them just solving the problem because that got a little annoying how much they brought up the whole girl power part of it. Then I really liked what they did with Caitlin and her switching back and forth between being herself and Killer Frost and how everyone else is dealing with that was really kind of interesting. Then the villain of Amunet was really cool with her having this magnetic metal bending kind of powers but instead of her using it in a very Magneto like the way she used the metal to build herself armor and then used it in that sort of way and that was really kind of cool. Then the moments with Barry and him at his bachelor’s party was fun with him taking this chemical substance that made him really drunk and everyone else just kind of have to deal with all the problems that he stumbled upon. And then just overall this was really fun and great episode to watch.

Riverdale Season 2 Episode 5 "When a Stranger Calls" Review


Betty turns to Archie for help after receiving an ultimatum; Veronica's old friend comes to town, but his plans for a wild night takes an unexpected turn.

This was a really interesting episode especially with everything around Betty and the masked man. And it was really interesting how they chose to approach those moments between Betty and the masked man and him trying to get her to cut off all her other friends and him making this deal that if she did what he asked of her and she would get to ask him a question about himself as long as it wasn't too specific like what his name was. And that really became like the main reason Betty was doing any of the stuff that she was doing and it was just really interesting to see how she actually cut people off where she got really angry at Veronica and then she actually asked Archie to cut off the relationship with Jughead so that was just all really interesting and great with how it was all done and shown. And that moment between Archie and Jughead was really great with how Archie reacted to Jughead joining the Serpent's even though Archie really hasn't been there much for Jughead in the first place in my opinion. And everything around Jughead joining the Serpent's was really great and interesting with all the different Gonlent trials he had to go through to become a member we're really kind of fun to see as well as his friends trying to keep asking him if he really does want to join the Serpent's because once he's joined he can't leave. Then everything with Veronica and her friend was interesting with her sort of discovering that she has changed since she's come to Riverdale and how her old friends aren't really the best people to be friends with and it was just really great in that moment when all that was fully realized and her new friends from Riverdale were sort of there to support and be there for each other. And then everything in this episode around Betty's mother was really great with it coming out that Betty's mother was a serpent and the whole scene of Betty's mother sort of accepting that as her reality is really great and I kind of can't wait to see what the truth around that will be when it does come out like how did she leave the Serpent's if she did. I kind of can't wait to see how the moment between Betty and the masked man comes to play in the future where Betty was forced to put on a mask very similar to his so I'm curious to know if that mask will be discovered by the police or something and the bring Betty in and question the fact that her DNA is in it. And just overall this was a really entertaining and interesting episode to watch and see how everything played out and I can't wait to see what will happen in future.
