Galavant Season 2 Episode 5&6 "Giants vs. Dwarves" "About Last Knight" Review
Episode 5
Galavant is fed up with Richard after he trades the Jewel of Valencia for a "dragon" and travels to find the giants on his own. They are not at all what he expected but are willing to help under one condition - he must help them defeat the dwarves. Gareth tells Sid about his feelings for Madalena. Sid warns Gareth against confessing his feelings, but he is determined, which ultimately leads to a dangerous situation for one of the men. Woodworm sends Isabella to Princess Jubilee's palace to hand deliver her invitation to her wedding.
Episode 6
Galavant, along with Richard and Roberta, stumbles upon his father, Sir Arnold Galavant. While Richard prepares for battle by training at Arnold's knight school, Galavant learns a few things about the man who abandoned him as a child. Madalena tries to make Gareth's birthday the best day ever, but his idea of a fun time is getting into a bar fight. Isabella returns to Hortensia and banishes Woodworm. Sid, now a wanted man in Valencia, flees to the Forest of Coincidence.
Review
This was a really funny and great to set of episodes that left me with my mouth wide open by the end of them. I loved the fight between the Dwarves and the Giants it was funny how it all revolved around a random bridge to connect their two lands that weren't even over a river just some grass that a bridge isn't even necessary to cross it. I also liked the joke of really tall Dwarves and really short Giants which ends up making them the same height. I loved Princess Jubilee's song and especially the line that reminded Isabella that technically she wasn't originally a princess like everyone else. I also really liked the song that the boys at Sir Arnold school song that compared their opinions of Galavant's father vs Galavant's opinion. The whole chunk with Sid and Woodworm in the forest of Coincidence was also really great. And like I said the ending I was not expecting at all and I can't wait to see where all that will take them. Overall I really loved this episode and I can't wait for the next ones.

Arrow Season 4 Episode 8 "Legends of Yesterday" Review
Oliver and Barry hide Kendra and Carter in a remote location while they try to figure out how to defeat Vandal Savage; Felicity, Thea, Diggle and Laurel work to come up with a weapon to destroy Vandal.
This was a really nice episode that hopefully is the last to introduce all the characters for the Legends of Tomorrow so hopefully we can move on to something else. I liked the idea of switching and going back to Central City to do the main chunks of the fighting. I really liked the somewhat of a training moment between Kendra and Carter. But I still don't get how they could believe she was ready to fight just after that one moment. Using Barry's ability to time travel in this episode was interesting but it felt a little random that they had to throw that in there instead of just skipping over that part and ending it the way the time travel fixed things. Oliver and the fact that he has a kid felt a little weird that they took this long to bring that plot back in because they like first introduced it in the first season and haven't talked about it at all until this episode. Overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait for the next one.
The Flash Season 2 Episode 8 "Legends of Today" Review
When Vandal Savage attacks Kendra Saunders, Barry takes Kendra to Star City, seeking Oliver's protection; Harrison asks Jay to test a new serum to make Barry run faster.
This was a really great episode on its own as well as being the Arrow episode that came after. Kendra being attacked by Vandal Savage was a little awkward in how it was first played out but the time in Star City was really cool. Hawkman's introduction was fun but also a little weird because they just kind of threw him into the playing field and like said have fun and don't die. I really liked all the parts where Carter is trying to get Kendra to remember who she truly is shoving her off a bunch of really tall buildings. The whole plot with Wells and the serum to make Barry fast seemed really cool but it really didn't make sense in my mind besides making it eventually so that maybe it could help Jay get his speed back sometime here in the future. Overall this was a fairly good episode and I'm very curious to see where the Arrow episode will take it.

Gotham Season 2 Episode 11 "Worse Than a Crime" Review
Jim Gordon turns to Dangerous Allies for assistance when Bruce Wayne is abducted.
This was a decent mid-season finally episode but not the greatest of one. The whole plot was around saving Bruce from Galavan and that was pretty boring. The fact of having Alfred, Gordon, Penguin, and each of there respected teams all the sudden working together to save Bruce seemed to really come together out of nowhere. All the scenes with Bruce and Silver seemed so fake and just a drag of a conversation that wasn't going anywhere. All the ending moments in this episode were really great whether it was them breaking into Galavan's penthouse to save Bruce or it being the actual ending were they gave a little tease of Mr.Freeze I'm super exited to start the second half. Over all I didn't really care for this episode it was boring and didn't seem like a good ending to what this whole first half of the season had been setting up.

Agents Of SHIELD Season 3 Episode 10 "Maveth" Review
S.H.I.E.L.D battles Hydra head-to-head, which sees Coulson and Fitz take the ultimate risk while Daisy and the Inhumans try to keep Hydra at bay.
This was a really great mid season finally episode with a lot of action and a fairly good plot to it. I really liked seeing the whole team showing up to save Fitz, Simmons and Coulson and the teamwork and separate work that they did to infiltrate the castle was really well done. On the alien planet that Coulson ended up on I have a hard time believing that he could easily follow Ward and Fitz's track because it looked like a high amount of wind was almost always blowing and could have easily moved the sand and covered them up. Having the group of sleeping inhumans stored in a part of the castle and the need to save them just to have them all killed off by Lash I felt was really unnecessary. The twist of what happens to Will after Fitz worked so hard to save him I was not expecting. But I am curious to know if the creature that was on the planet that they always referred to as death is actually Death and they just put it in a different form from Lady Death. Because if that is Lady Death just in a different form that is cool that there choosing to introduce her in the TV show and not in one of the movies. Overall this was a really great episode and I really can't wait for the next one.

Quantico Season 1 Episode 9 "Guilty" Review
After turning herself into the FBI, Alex is aggressively interrogated to confess about who really bombed grand central. New evidence is uncovered that might lead to Alex's freedom. Back at Quantico, the group investigates serial murderers.
This was a really exciting and great episode. All the people who just want Alex to confess instead of actually listening to what she has to say is a little scary because it seems so realistic because when a tragedy happens a lot of the time people just want a confession and have everything just come to a close. I did like the fact that everyone seemed to be so determined to get Alex back that they were looking for any evidence to prove doubt that she might not be guilty. It was so cool because these where a lot of the same people that in the past episodes they were working so had to prove her guilty. The serial murder cases that they work on was really cool but also a little weird in how that whole story plot went about. Overall this was a really great episode with a lot of twists to it.

Scorpion Season 2 Episode 13 "White Out" Review
In order to save a United States Special Forces unit from certain death, the Scorpion Team must get through the very low temperatures of Antarctica to connect to a satellite in order to save the soldiers. Toby risks his life to save Happy.
This was a really great comeback episode after the holiday break. The team splitting up with Page and Sylvester left behind while the rest of the team goes to the Arctic made a cool separation where Page isn't their to help them make decisions. Some of their knowledge about cold preventives where correct about skin to skin contact but none of them wore hats and that is one of the most important things to keep cover when trying to keep warm. I like all the scenes with Ralph talking to the soldiers and helping them out until the rest of team Scorpion to help them out. I am kind of waiting for the one time Scorpion doesn't succeed at something and Ralph gets a bit of a reality check on them and doesn't think of them as much of heroes as he did in this episode. The teams new years revolutions were kind of fun too with how hard they tried to stick with them. The ending with Happy and her dad was really great and I think it was trying to push a Happy and Toby relationship a bit to much. Over all I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for the next one.
