Riverdale Season 2 Episode 9 "Chapter Twenty-Two: Silent Night, Deadly Night" Review


Veronica uncovers a major secret about her father; Betty and Archie's vow to take down the Black Hood once and for all leads to a dangerous showdown.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that wasn't the greatest but it did have some really nice moments to it. The moments with Veronica were okay but really weird how the moods of her and her parents just seemed to change constantly from sentence to sentence. I'm very interested to see what the secret her family was hiding that they let her be a part of by the end of the episode. Then the moments with Cheryl were kind of weird with her doing all these different things behind her mother back just to mess with her. Then the moments with Archie and Betty were okay with them finally putting the pieces together of who the black hood is. I really didn't care for the sudden turn that they made on who the Black hood is and why Betty is involved in his fixation it just felt really kind of weird and rushed and like they were giving us a bunch of sudden information without any real explanation. The only really good moments in this episode were the moments with Jughead and him finding a way to get rid of Penny once and for all. All the scenes between him and his father and then when he eventually did confront Penny it was all really great and the best parts of this episode. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and okay episode that wasn't the best one out there.

Legion Season 2 Episode 1 "Chapter 9" Review


Unlikely alliances are formed and the search for the Shadow King begins.

This was a really entertaining and fun episode that continued to do a good job of playing with what is real and what is in David's head. I really liked that they finally showed Division 3 and just how everything there looked and the weird guy who is in charge who you can't see his face it was just all really great. I'm a little confused by the sudden change in Division 3 where last season they seemed like this really secret service group that worked in the shadows but now in this one they are much more public and a much larger group of people. Then everything with David and Syd in this episode was great with them dealing with the fact that they have been separated for a year and everything has changed. Then I really liked the moment where Syd talks about how much David has changed and he reminds her that technically she is the one who has changed and he is still the same as he was the day he disappeared because to her it was a year but to him, it was a few hours. Then I really liked the scene inside David's head where he is talking to a "future" version of Syd and just how that whole scene was done with them talking without really talking and her using a light wand to communicate was all really great. Then the moments with the Shadow King were great with it being these random little pieces slowly being put out there of what Oliver has been up to since he left Summerland. Then the truth being put out there that David might be lying because Ptonomy saw David hanging out with the Shadow King in the year that David says he can't remember. Then the weird illness infecting people that are being spread around by the Shadow King is a really cool side story that I'm really excited to see what they are going to do there. Then just overall this was a really great first episode and I'm really excited to see where they will go next.

The Librarians Season 4 Episode 6 "And the Graves of Time" Review


When Baird goes after Nicole Noone in an attempt to repair her rift with the Library, she ends up joining Nicole in a mission to retrieve a dangerous artifact before it falls into the hands of Russian grave robbers. But can she convince Nicole to forgive the Library and return home with her? Or, will Nicole open Baird's eyes to the dangers of a Guardian dedicating herself, heart and soul, to the Library?

This was a really interesting episode that had a lot of great moments to it and it was fun to watch how the whole story unfolded. I really liked that for the most part, this episode focused on Nicole and Baird, and them working together and forming a relationship. It was interesting to see the moments where Nicole showed Baird what a life of immortality will look like and how hard that can weigh on a person after a while. Then it was fun to see the connection between the artifact they were hunting and how it tied back to Rasputin and Nicole's past together. Then the moments where the team got split off into the different group again was great with Flynn and Nicole being partnered up together and Baird and Jenkins being together and that sort of help to show Baird Nicole's other side. Then when the full truth came out of who these Russian grave robbers are it was fun to see how the team managed to escape and what all they did to keep everyone together. I really don't know how I feel about Nicole still I don't think she is in favor for the Library and the whole conversation she had with Flynn that caused him to leave was really suspicious of if she just wants to leave or if she wants to destroy the Library. Overall this was a really great and fun episode that had a lot of entertaining moments to it.  

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 10 "Legion of Superheroes" Review


Supergirl remains in a dreamlike state after sustaining injuries from Reign, so Mon-El recruits Brainiac-5, a member of the Legion of Superheroes, to bring her back.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that had a lot of great moments to it. I really liked all the moments with Kara being stuck in a mental version of her apartment and she had to work through some mental issues before she was allowed to escape. And the introduction of Brainiac-5 was really great because, in my opinion, he was really well done and funny. Then the moments with the Legion of Superheroes actually getting together to help fight Reign on Supergirl's behave was a little weak and just looked like a mess with how everything went down and all they really did was distract her for a little bit until Supergirl came around to do actual damage. It was really interesting to see how they found a kind of weakness for Reign where she does have a weakness to Kryptonite but only in super high doses. Then the ending of this episode was really interesting with Reign being informed about the other world killers and is now on the quest to go and find them. Then just overall this was a really interesting episode that had some nice moments to it.

The Librarians Season 4 Episode 5 "And the Bleeding Crown" Review


A Librarian from the past teams up with the Librarians of the present to take down an ancient and powerful enemy let loose in the modern day. When superfan Flynn is met with the prospect of teaming with his Librarian hero Darrington Dare, he could not be more excited, until Darrington leaves the Librarians with this dire warning: There can be only one Librarian - ignore at your own peril.

This was a really fun and interesting episode that had a lot of really great moments to it and it feels really kind of weird that this seems like the first major episode for the underlining plot of the season and it took this long for them to get to it. I really loved the introduction of a past Librarian in Darrington Dare and just getting to see the contrast and similarities between how he and the other Librarians operated. Then the whole episode revolving around Darrington and his mortal enemy that can time travel and create really bad clones of himself is a little weird of a plot line but it still was fun. And the side effects of turning the town's residents old was an interesting addition but it felt weird and kind of pointless in the grander scheme of things. Then Darrington bringing up how prophecy has stated that there can only be one Librarian is an interesting understory for the season and I'm very curious to see where that will take the characters. Then the whole decision Flynn had to make between being there for his friends or his hero was interesting to watch him jump back and forth before actually making a real plan. Then just overall this was a really interesting and okay episode that had some parts that I liked and some parts that I really didn't care for much.

The Librarians Season 4 Episode 4 "And the Silver Screen" Review


Drawn into the world of Baird's favorite film noir movie, the Librarians must perfect their skills in lassoing, sharpshooting, and snappy dialogue to make it out alive.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that wasn't the greatest episode out there. I really loved the concept of this episode with Baird and Flynn are stuck in a film that they have to go through the movie to complete required tasks. But even with this great concept, I feel they didn't deliver on the storyline like they could have. It was fun to watch Baird lead Flynn through the film because she has it completely memorized and they had to find other storylines within the film to find the true storyline that has been kept secret from the public. Then it was fun to watch the rest of the librarians try and help Baird and Flynn as well as get to them by going through a bunch of other movies, which is another concept that they should have done more with. Then the ending was really confusing and random with how they tried to connect the real world to the real storyline within the movie there stuck in. Overall this was a really entertaining and okay episode to watch but I wish they could have done more with it.

Riverdale Season 2 Episode 8 "Chapter Twenty-One: House of the Devil" Review


Jughead and Betty organize a welcome home party for FP's release; Archie and Veronica must push their issues aside upon taking over the Black Hood investigation.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that had some really fun moments to it. I really liked FP's return and how everyone reacted to the news and the whole decision of whether or not FP was going to retire from the serpents. Then everything with Betty was interesting with her working on trying to find a way to be more involved in Jughead's life of being a Serpent. Then Betty's mother returning to the life of a Serpent for one night to honor FP was really great. But I wonder what more of the history is between Betty's mom and FP that she made the comment that she doesn't want their kids to make the same mistakes they did. I am really happy that FP didn't actually retire and I'm really excited to see what he might do to help fix some of the mistakes Jughead made. Then everything with Veronica and Archie was alright with the looking into the Riverdale Reaper story more and coming to some conclusions about who the killer might be and why they are killing people. But the whole storyline around Archie and Veronica in this episode was just way too overdone with them introducing the storyline of Archie telling Veronica that he loves her and she doesn't feel the same way so that puts a major stress on their relationship in this episode. Then just overall this was a really interesting episode but not the most exciting of episodes.
