The Flash Season 4 Episode 9 "Don't Run" Review

Amunet kidnaps Caitlin and forces her to perform a tricky medical task and the Thinker traps the Flash in a speedster-proof prison.

This was a really entertaining and interesting episode that had a lot of really great moments to it. I really enjoyed the concept in this episode where the rest of Team Flash has to decide what to do and whether they should put their effort into saving Berry or Caitlin. It was interesting to see Iris finally step up and take that leadership role when she realizes that everyone else is looking for guidance on what to do and she's the voice of reason. Then the moments between Cisco and Ralph was entertaining and interesting with them figuring out how to work together. Then everything with Barry was okay with him figure out more of what the Thinker has planned and finding a way to get out of this speed proof cell he is in. Everything with Caitlin was great with her being in the situation where she could easily free herself if she became Killer Frost but she wants to prove to herself that if she tries to find a solution without Killer Frost. I'm not all that excited about the idea of the Thinker changing to a new actor because I really enjoyed the way he was being portrayed and now him having the ability to body switch seems a little too different for my liking even though I knew that that was a part of the thinker's powers. And then just overall this was a really amazing episode and I'm so excited to see where they're going to take the story when it comes back now that Barry has been put up for murder.

The Gifted Season 1 Episode 10 " eXploited" Review

Jace is forced to hand over something valuable to Dr. Campbell; the team is divided on what they should do next, so Reed and Caitlin take matters into their own hands.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that had a lot of really great moments to it. I really enjoyed all the moments with Lauren and Andy and them being asked to show the scientist what their powers do when their combined and the introduction of adamantium and all that stuff around that was just all interesting to see. How Dr. Campbell actually managed to convince Andy and Lauren to combine their powers was really evil and really shows his character's personality and I'm excited to see what's going to happen once the truth comes out to the rest of the underground members. Then when Andy and Lauren actually used their combined powers and what all happened was really amazing to see that their powers are so strong that they can even break through adamantium. Then the moments with Reed and Kate were interesting with them figuring out a way to get through Sentinel services and get their kids back and just how all that worked out was interesting to see. Then the truth coming out about Esme and her sisters and just how all the ending looked was amazing and I'm so excited to see what they're going to do with the triplet clones. And it was interesting how the rest of the underground dealt with Esme as they also they put the pieces together to figure out what she's actually up to. And just overall this was a really entertaining and exciting episode and I'm really excited to see where they're going to take the storyline next.

The Gifted Season 1 Episode 9 "outfoX" Review

The team develops a risky plan to help mutants in Sentinel Service's custody; Reed reveals details about his family history.

This was an okay but kind of boring episode that was a lot of setups but no real important part of it. Because a lot of this episode was dedicated to the team decided to go and break into Sentinel Services and find a way to free all the mutants that are stuck there. And that was just not all that excited I am very excited to see what's going to happen in the next episode now that Lauren and Andy have been caught and will be tested on to see their powers. But otherwise, just that whole set up to them being caught was really kind of boring. And I did enjoy the moment between Reed and Kate where they're talking about Reed's past and him explaining how he was once a mutant and her reaction to that was interesting with her feeling offended that he never told her but then when he clears it up and saying that he didn't even know her reaction changed and that was just really well done. Then I enjoyed the ending with Lauren and Andy and them having the chance to use the combined powers to save themselves but Andy hesitating because the fact that he doesn't want to hurt anyone and that was just interesting to see the sort of character development there. And that it was all so cool and they did have a little flashback moment that showed when Andy and Lauren first combined their powers and I'm not really realizing what it was but that's where to being the trigger moment to get them to both look into their powers in the first place. And then just overall this was a really boring and interesting episode to watch and see how everything played out and I'm interested to see what's going to happen in the next episode.

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 9 "Reign" Review

Supergirl traces the origins of a mysterious symbol to an ancient prophecy and the mark of the World Killer, Reign.

This was a really great mid-season finale episode that did an amazing job of setting things up for the future. I really enjoyed what they did around the air direction of Reign finally coming to National City and just how all that played out. With things like Kara looking into the symbol that keeps appearing around the city and discovering its connection back to Krypton and of the guy who is super into the Kryptonian religion was interesting to see. And I really enjoyed his Cameo with it bring up the comment of the Fort Rozz people that are still somewhere on Earth and I really would like to see more of them make an appearance again. Then everything with them finally introducing the concept of the Legion of Superheroes was interesting being them going through a brief history of how the legion was originally set up and what all it does. But I am a little disappointed that none of the other members actually woke up in this episode and that we have to wait till the show comes back to actually meet some of the other members like Brainiac 5. Then everything with the whole massive fight scene between Kara and Reign was so amazing and well done and I just loved it so much because of the fact that it showed an actual villain that was stronger than Kara and in my opinion that's just something that hasn't been done before. Because in the past all the villains that Kara faced she could just pretty much defeat them by beating them up and she can't do that with Reign and just how that all turned out was just so brutal and well done. And just overall this was an amazing and well-done mid-season finale episode and I'm so excited to see where they're going to take the story when it comes back.

The Orville Season 1 Episode 11 "New Dimensions" Review

The Orville gets damaged by a spatial anomaly causing harrowing effects to all living things.

This was a really great and interesting episode that had a lot of really fun moments to it. I really enjoyed the set up that they had around this anomaly that the Orville discovered and how the crew dealt with that was really interesting to see. And then once it was actually discovered what this anomaly is and how they decide to deal with that was also interesting. Especially once it came to the ending of this episode where they had to go inside the anomaly to hide from the Krill. Then everything around lieutenant John was interesting with it being discovered that he’s actually really intelligent and Kelly decided that he should get an opportunity to become the new head of engineering and just how all that worked out was interesting to see. With John not really knowing how to be a leader and him figuring out what best leading example works for him. And then everything with Ed was interesting with it finally being discovered that Kelly helped to get him his position and him dealing with that and figure it out how he could carry on with this position knowing that he doesn’t fully deserve it. And then that moment where he made the decision that he was possibly going to sacrifice himself to just prove to himself that he is worthy of being the captain was interesting to see. And then just overall this was a really entertaining and interesting episode to watch and see how everything played out and I’m really excited to see what’s going to happen in the season finale.

Riverdale Season 2 Episode 7 "Chapter Twenty: Tales from the Darkside" Review

The town remains on edge after a chilling letter from the Black Hood challenges the town's residents to remain sinless for 48 hours, or he'll strike again.

This was a really great and exciting episode that was really fun to watch with how they decided to stylize the whole story of the episode. And with that, I really enjoyed that style because they decide to go about repeating the same 48 hours over and over but each time it was with a different set of the main characters and just showing what each of them did within those 48 hours. And the first chunk with Archie and Jughead was interesting with them to going to do this drug run for the Serpent's and just everything that they encountered with that was interesting to see what all it revealed for the possibility of the masked man. And I'm very interested to see how that connection might come out going forward with them learning about this old killer in Riverdale known as the Reaper I believe. Then the second part revolved around Cheryl and Josie and Josie trying to go about her normal life but a lot of things keep getting in the way. And when the truth was revealed about what Cheryl is actually doing I'm very interested to see what might happen if that truth actually comes out. Then everything with Veronica and Betty was interesting but probably the weakest point in the episode in my opinion because it felt like they were leading up to this big reveal secret but it was not really anything new in my opinion. I did really like those split opinion between Veronica and Betty about what the sheriff is up to and both of them trying to prove the other one wrong and how they each one went about doing that was interesting to see but then actual truth like I said what the sheriff was doing wasn't all that exciting but it will be interesting to see when that does eventually come out for everyone know. And just overall this was a really interesting and exciting episode and I'm very interested to see what they're going to do with the story going forward.

Arrowverse Crossover Day Two "Crisis on Earth-X, Parts 3&4" 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 second half that did a good job of having the mains story part in the third part and then just wrapping everything up in the fourth part. All the moments on Earth X we're really well done with how they took the ideas of each of the characters and introduced some new ones and just working through a whole plan of how to escape back to Earth One. I really enjoyed their introduction of The Ray and how they played him into everything and just how well he sort of fit in with the rest of the group. Then the reintroduction of this new version of Captain Cold as Citizen Cold was interesting where he's from Earth X and doesn't know any of the other people. Then everything that went on with Kara and everyone stuck in Star Labs that didn't get stuck on Earth X was interesting with how they eventually managed to free Kara from the red light altering her powers and how they finally brought the rest of Legends into the fight. And it was fun that they did again have a little nod to Ray's Superman past. It was really interesting who out of villains in the character's past they decided to bring into this with them reintroducing Metallo, and Red Tornado, as well as a few other villains, was interesting to see how they fit them all in and how they actually had other heroes fighting against these villains instead of Supergirl. Then just the whole final fight scene between the heroes and the Earth X versions was interesting to see how it all played out. It was a little disappointed that it definitely looks like they ran out of money because the visual effects didn't look as good as they did in the previous parts. But still, all the fighting and how they decide to end the story for each of the Earth X members was very interesting to see. The ending of the fourth part I really don't care for and it felt really kind of unnecessary and could have been so much better if they just cut it out or shortened it. Because I did like that moment of Barry and Iris finally going through the whole ceremony of getting married even though it wasn't necessary but then having Felicity barge in there and make it about her by saying that she wants to marry Oliver as well was just really annoying and unnecessary with how it looks like in the next Arrow episode they're just going to get married again. So that ending just felt really weird and unnecessary and I felt like I could have ended a lot better if they would have just ignored that part all the other. And just overall this was a really exciting and fun second half to the crossover and I can't wait to see what they might do next year.
