The Flash Season 5 Episode 3 "The Death of Vibe" Review


Following Cicada's attack on the Flash, Nora comes up with a plan that puts a member of the team in danger.

This was a really interesting episode that had some great moments to it and it did a great job moving a lot of the storylines forward and bring some new truth out around Cicada. I really loved the introduction of this new Sherlock Well's and how they hired him because he has tracked down Cicada hundreds of time before was great and I can't wait to see what they will do with him in order for him to pay off his debt he owns to Team Flash. Then I enjoyed how because Nora messed with the timeline by helping Barry that caused this Cicada to be different than the Cicada from hundreds of other timelines. And how Nora was so unwilling to believe that Cicada had changed because of her actions was interesting and I'm very curious to know how involved Cicada is in actions in the future and what that might lead to Barry's disappearance. Then the whole interrogation scene between Joe and Cicada was interesting but also kind of weird in my mind with how Cicada made the jump of how Joe must know Vibe because they always are in the same crimes together, but Joe is the head of the Metahuman crime division so of course Joe would be around things involving Metahumans. But still the whole scene involving Cicada and Joe was great and it was interesting to see how Cecile played into giving Cicada what he wanted and I'm interested to see how the hint that Cicada might be a father will play out in uncovering who Cicada is. Then the whole fight scene between Cicada, Vibe, and Flash was great especially with how XS came up with a way end up saving Vibe. Then everything with Catiline and Ralph was great with all the little hints and tricks that lead to more truths about Catiline's father. And I liked how Catiline found the truth through these puzzles she and her father did and how these puzzles had science involved in them I just thought that was a fun way to chime into Catiline's science childhood. Them just overall this was a great episode and I'm really excited to see what will happen next.    

Manifest Season 1 Episode 5 "Connecting Flights" Review


Stories unfold for those left behind in the aftermath of Flight 828's disappearance; Cal takes Ben on a mysterious adventure.

This was a really interesting episode that had a lot of really good moments to it. I really enjoyed this episode focused on what life was like for the family and friends of those who went missing on Flight 828. Everything with Grace and Olive was well done with them telling the story of how they dealt with there loss and how Grace started to move on with Danny and Olive refusing to believe that her brother and father were dead. I do wish they would have shown more of Olive's "bad attitudes" because the last episode they made a big deal out of Olive being a trouble and rambunctious teen but all they really showed in this episode was that she was having a hard time getting over her families deaths and she didn't much care for Grace's new boyfriend. Then I also enjoyed seeing how Jared and Lourdes got together because of there shared loss and it was fun to see how even Michaela's parents were okay with Jared choosing to move on. Then the moments in current time with Jared were interesting with him dealing with the consequences of the last episode and Michaela and other are trying to convince him to tell the truth but him not willing to let Michaela take the fall. Then the moments with Ben and Cal were great with Ben deciding to ignore the voice in his head and making all the choices in his day out with Cal by a flip of a coin. Then how those coin flips and voice all leading to some truths of what is going on with Cal and how "everything is connected" was a really great way to bring Ben back into the world he was trying to escape from. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I'm interested to see what will happen next with it being reviled that Cal is more connected with the truth of what happened to them.

Magnum P.I. Season 1 Episode 5 "Sudden Death" Review


TC asks Magnum to take on a case to help acquit the father of one of his young football players who is accused of murder.

This was a really interesting episode that had a lot of good moments to it and had a bunch of unexpected twists and turns. Everything around Magnum and TC in this episode was really great with the emotional roller-coaster they went on in this episode, and I also enjoyed it for the little bit of backstory we got around TC. Which was interesting seeing the development of TC with the discovery that his father was guilty of murder and went to prison because of it so TC had to learn to survive on his own until his dad was freed. Then Magnum and TC's relationship being tested went evidence comes up possibly linking Hani to the murder and Magnum is conflicted on whether to go to the police was such a great moment and so well done. And I just found it interesting how they chose to frame things and shoot scenes where it was done in a way that made each suspect seem guilty until things came up proving them innocent to some degree. Then the true story of what lead up to the murder and who the murderer was all was a great sort of secret story in this episode where the truth involved a scorned lover who thought that her husband was cheating on her with his work partner. Then how Magnum found that out was so interesting to see. Everything around the MMA fighter and him going after his bad drug dealers was just really odd and kind of unnecessary to this episode and it just made very little sense besides proving another suspect besides Hani. Then everything with Higgin's in this episode was interesting with her dealing with Makoa while Magnum and TC try and save his dad and it was just really fun to see her try and deal with a kid. Then just overall this was a really great and interesting episode that had some good moments to it.

Charmed Season 1 Episode 2 "Let This Mother Out" Review


After getting a message from the spirit board to not trust Harry, the sisters are conflicted and ultimately concoct a plan.

This was a really interesting episode that was really entertaining to see how everything played out. It was kind of annoying to see how the sisters continued to refuse to work together and decide to create a majority rules style of doing things but them none of them choose to follow the majority when they were the odd one out. It was fun to see them create a truth serum to try and figure out more information on Harry and see what he has planned. Then I also enjoyed how the girls were afraid to say Harry's name because every time they did he would pop up so all the silly little nicknames they used for him instead was fun. And it was interesting how they chose to show the truth serum where it accidentally got in the hands of Mel's girlfriend instead of Harry and all the secrets that Mel found out from her girlfriend and I found it interesting how Mel was willing to set aside the information she learned because it was information that she wasn't supposed to know. Then everything else in this episode with Mel was kind of annoying with her refusing to listen to her sister and deciding to contact the possible spirit of her mother and then she was just really annoying with how she bossed the rest of her sisters around and refused to listen to them and made pretty much all the mistakes in this episode. Then everything with Macy was interesting with her being the one to notice the new threat coming for them and all her interactions with Harry were interesting. Then Maggie in this episode was great by the end of this episode where her powers did come in handy to help defer between her mother and the monster even though her sister refused to listen to her. Then the prism that was introduced in this episode seems like it will be a big problem in the future because why aren't the monsters going after this prism to steal the girl's powers instead of going after the girls and failing because the girls are more powerful than the monster. Then just overall this was a really interesting episode and it was really entertaining to watch.

Supergirl Season 4 Episode 2 "Fallout" Review




When a shocking revelation brings chaos to National City, Supergirl sets out to capture Mercy Graves.

This was a really interesting and great episode that had a lot of really good moments to it. I really enjoyed the moments of somewhat of organized chaos where everyone is freaking out about who might be an alien or not. Then everything around Mercy's plan for this episode was interesting with her attacking the alien's image inducers to reveal more aliens to the public. And I really enjoyed the scenes with Kara being stuck in L Corp when Mercy attacks and not being able to escape Lena long enough to change into Supergirl, it was just really funny and made some really great moments of her hiding her powers from Lena. Then Mercy's escape from the DEO with her bother was so interesting because the managed to use their words to influence and create mistrust in a DEO agent Jensen. Then everything with Brainiac-5 was really interesting with him being one of the people who was affected by the image inducer hack and having to face the prejudice face on and seeing how people are more then what you know them as. I'm very curious in that scene where Nia arrived to help out Brainiac-5 was them showing Nia's powers of foresight for the first time or if they are showing it as her fighting against injustice different then the injustice and prejudice she has face her whole life or both. Then the moments with Nia and James was interesting with James being hesitant on whether or not to share his opinion on alien rights and make CatCo pick a side in the fight. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I'm really excited to see what will happen next with the atmosphere being irritated with Kryptonite and affecting Kara.      

American Horror Story Apocalypse Episode 6 "Return to Murder House" Review


After being sent to the "Murder House" to gather information on Langdon's past, Madison and Behold discover a horrifying secret about the next Supreme.

This was such an amazing and great episode that was so entertaining to watch and I just loved it so much. The episode did an amazing job of telling its own story as well as bringing back a lot of the unresolved elements from the murder house season. Everything around Moria was really great with her finally getting her happy ending and escaping the murder house and being reunited with her family. Then I really loved how they told the story of how Michael's life was like growing up and how his relationship with Constance and the rest of his murder house family ended. I also found it interesting how they chose to explain Michael's sudden change in age where overnight he went from being eight to eighteen because it was finally time for him to start his work ending the world. Everything around Michael and Ben was really great with Ben actually trying to give Michael a chance to be a kid and be good but over time Michael's evil nature took over more and more and Ben chose to give up on Michael which was just sad. Then Vivien choosing to try and kill Michael was interesting with how they chose to show it. And the church of Satin showing up after following all the signs that Michael was putting out was a really interesting way for them to make the full connection between Michael and his father as well as introduce Ms. Mead to Michael. Then the storyline around Tate and Violet was interesting and weird with them deciding to explain way all of Tate's action on the evilness in the house and that Tate is relatively fine now because all that evilness left with Michael. That seems like such a weak way to try and make Tate's actions seem okay and make it okay for Violet to love Tate again. I do like how strong-willed Violet was that she was willing to hold up her side and keeping ignoring Tate all these years until the end of this episode. Then just overall this was a really amazing and well-done episode that was so much fun to watch and see how everything turned out and I'm so excited to see what will happen next.

Riverdale Season 3 Episode 2 "Chapter Thirty-Seven: Fortune and Men's Eyes" Review


After a gruesome discovery is made in the forest, Jughead and Betty team up to investigate; Archie navigates his new surroundings.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that had a lot of really great moments to it. Everything with Archie was interesting with him getting adjusted to life in the detention center and not knowing where he should fit in. I really enjoyed them bringing back Joaquin to cause Archie to not fit in with the Serpents because Joaquin was using how Archie was in season one. Then how Archie got to fit in was interesting with him setting up a football game for different members to fight in a more organized way. Then the ending for this episode was interesting with Archie's cellmate disappearing and Archie having to step up to take his roll in this prison. Then everything with Veronica was interesting with her doing exactly what Archie told her not to do which is that she is trying to set up and waiting for Archie to return. Then Betty and Jughead in this episode were interesting with them looking into this mysterious game that is causing people to die and how all the different people playing the game fit together was interesting. Then Ethel being a part of this game makes me really excited to see what they're going to do with her and her roll in messing with Betty and Jughead. Then just overall this was a really interesting setup episode that makes me really excited to see what they're going to do next.
