Supergirl Season 3 Episode 15 "In Search of Lost Time" Review


Supergirl must work with J'onn to contain the chaos resulting from Myr'nn's psychic disturbances at the DEO; Mon-El teaches Kara fighting techniques he learned in the future for battling Worldkillers.

This was a really great and entertaining episode that had so many amazing moments to it. I really enjoyed the theme around this episode when it came to J'onn and Myr'nn which was the passing of the torch and how there is a moment in every life where the son has to step up and become the father. It was great how Myr'nn's anger and stress around his illness caused his illness to make everyone else around him lash out in anger at each other. So everything with Winn was really great with seeing him freak out at people around him. Then everything between Kara and Mon-El was really great with Kara finally getting all her anger towards Mon-El out but the only part that really confused me was how everything that she hated him for happened before they started dating so how could he be a horrible boyfriend because of them. The ending for this episode was really great with Kara and J'onn working together to convince Myr'nn to step down and let J'onn help him. the moments between Lenna and Samantha in this episode were also great with Lenna finally angering Sam enough to bring Reign out and show Sam the truth of who she is. Then just overall this was a really interesting and great episode to watch. 

Legion Season 2 Episode 5 "Chapter 13" Review


An uneasy reunion leads to a shocking truth.

This was a really great and amazing episode that told such a great story and had so many fantastic moments. I really enjoyed the return of Lenny and everyone at Division 3 trying to figure out why she is there and if she is still working for the Shadow King. It was really interesting how they chose to show Lenny in this episode where she is a very broken person trying to put the pieces of her life back together again. Along with that, they kept bringing up how Lenny's eyes changed from brown to blue so clearly, the Shadow King gave her someone else's body. Which kept me thinking throughout the whole episode who have we encountered with blue eyes because I knew it had to be someone we've already met and not just some random person. Then I figured out who Lenny is a few seconds before they gave the first major hint which was in the scene where David finally confronts Lenny. Then everything around Oliver and the Shadow King was really interesting in this episode with them being on this mission that is a secret until near the end and Oliver sort of tells the Shadow King how he plans of escaping. Then the ending of this episode was so amazing and so sad with the character that was killed off so that Lenny could live. Then just overall this was a really amazing episode that had so many good moments to it and I can't wait to see what the next episode will bring.

The Flash Season 4 Episode 14 "Subject 9" Review


Barry meets a powerful woman whose abilities could help him in his battle with De Voe. Meanwhile, after learning that De Voe is targeting everyone who was on the bus, Ralph decides he doesn't want to be a hero anymore, his only concern is staying alive. Harry offers to help Cecile, with her "problem", with Joe.

This was a really interesting and great episode that had a lot of really fun moments to it. I really enjoyed the concept in this episode of Barry trying to race against the clock to save the next person on De Voe's list before De Voe can get to them. Then this newer Metahuman's powers were really cool with her almost being like a banshee but she can also use other sound modes besides her voice to create the same effect which leads to a really cool creation of a violin that she could use as a sound weapon against De Voe. I don't really know how I feel about the whole relationship between Ralph and this new girl it just felt really kind of rushed and weird but it was nice to see a different side of Ralph and see him step up to be a guide for someone else. Everything around Cecile and Harry in this episode was really great with them working together to help each other out and Cecile learning that Harry is looking to make more friends with people. All of there scenes also lead to a really cool moment of Harry creating a device that was mention last season by the evil future Barry that they used to stop De Voe's powers. Then just overall this was a really great episode that was so entertaining to watch and I very curious to see where they will go next. 

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 14 "Schott Through the Heart" Review


Following the death of his father, Winn must work with his estranged mother to stop a copycat Toyman.

This was a really great episode that was a little confusing to follow because some parts felt really random but still it was so much fun to watch. I'm a little sad that they decided to kill off the Toyman because I was really hoping that he would come back and try and be in Winn's life again and Winn has to deal with that now that he is at the DEO. Even though that didn't happen I'm really happy with what they did show by them introducing Winn's mother and showing the complex relationship they have because of Winn's father. I was really hoping that with how they were setting things up that they would have Winn's mother also be evil and crazy like the Toyman and that she was behind everything and for the most part they really set it up like she was going to be the villain by saying how she knows how each of the Toyman inventions work and how she'll do anything to make up for lost time and then Winn's mother turned out to not be all that important which was a little sad. Then the actual copycat was a little confusing because of she just kind of popped up at the end of the episode and we didn't really get much of a motive behind what she was doing or why she was just so random and made very little sense to me as to why she was there. I did really like the ending fight scenes with Mon-El and Supergirl teaming up to stop some of the copycat's killer inventions. Then overall this was a really great episode that had a lot of really entertaining moments to it. 

The Librarians Season 4 Episode 12 "And the Echoes of Memory" Review


After the world is morphed into a horrible and unrecognizable place - one where the Library never existed - it’s up to Baird to bring the Librarians together before this bleak, knowledge-less world becomes the new reality.

This was a really good episode and it was fun to watch but it didn’t make the greatest of season finales and the ending just left me really angry. It was interesting to see how they decided to perceive a world where the Library never existed and they made everything really dull and boring because of it. I really liked the storyline around Baird having to go and find all the Librarians and try and prove to them that the memories they all have about the Library are true and they need to work together to bring it back. Everything with Flynn was interesting with it coming out that Flynn didn’t actually leave the Library he was kidnapped by Nicole and kept hidden away all this time. The thing that really annoyed me is how this episode ended with everything being fixed and going back to the first episode before the problems involving the cornerstones. So basically setting it up so that nothing in this season mattered or even happened which makes me really angry because there were so many good moments and great character growth that now didn’t happen and I don’t understand why they had to do that. But still, overall this was a really nice ending that had some great moments to it and I’m sad this series didn’t get picked up for another season.

Riverdale Season 2 Episode 11 "Chapter Twenty-Four: The Wrestler" Review


Archie joins the wrestling team to get closer to Hiram; Jughead digs up shocking details about Riverdale's past; Betty unearths some dark secrets about Chic.

This was a really interesting and weird episode that seemed way too weird and there was so much unimportant stuff going on that made very little next to no sense as to why it needed to be in this episode. Everything around Archie joining the wrestling team in order to win over Hiram was alright because it was cheesy and fully in the mode of the storyline used over and over again about the boyfriend trying to win over the girlfriends father. The only parts that didn't make much sense to me were near the end when Hiram's opinion of Archie just seemed to quickly change once Hiram discovered what Archie did to Nick. The Veronica's whole part in this made no sense because I couldn't understand by the way she was acting if she wanted her father to know that Archie is doing all this for him or not. Betty and Chic were alright because it was mostly about them learning more about each other and Betty's father, not approving of Chic being there. The only part that seemed really confusing was how overdramatic they acted about finding out that Chic is actually a camboy and it was put out there as being this big dark and evil thing. I wish they would have done more with Cheryl because in this episode she discovered this big secret about her family and how they got their land and it was brushed off so lightly with only one small moment of her being upset and then the next moment she was back to normal like it was nothing. The moment with Jughead were just way to overdone with him doing a report and finding out that the Blossom family hired a group of people to murder and kick out all the native people of the land and he decided to go all out with this news letting everyone know about it multiple ways and didn't really seem to care about anyone's feelings. Then just overall this was a really entertaining episode that was interesting to watch and see how everything turned out.     

Legion Season 2 Episode 4 "Chapter 12" Review


David is tested. And tested. And tested.

This was a really interesting and great episode that did an amazing job of establishing some of Syd's backstory and also showing the relationship between David and Syd. It was really interesting to see the replay over and over again of Syd's history growing up and how she adjusted to life with her powers and how she struggled to form relationships because of it as well as how her powers affected her mother's relationship to other people because she was very protective over Syd. I really loved the idea of showing the same memories over and over again and David have to figure out what they all mean and with each time through we got an additional memory to help figure things out and each time David got something wrong. Then the whole story that Syd was actually trying to tell David was interesting with her stating that love is a very important thing but love alone can't protect them from what's to come with the Shadow King or something else. Then everything else at Division 3 was interesting with everyone waking up from the monk's hypnosis and discovering Syd and David and trying to figure out why they weren't waking up. Then just overall this was a really amazing and fun episode that was so interesting to watch and see how everything played out
