Arrow Season 4 Episode 15 "Taken" Review

Oliver calls in his old friend Vixen for help in fighting Darhk, while Thea has a heart-to-heart talk with Malcolm.

This was an amazing episode that had a lot of parts to it that managed to fit together really well and not end up as a giant knot of plots. The whole idea of bringing in Vixen to fight a little bit of magic with magic was so great because I have always had this thing in the back of my mind saying that if there going to continue on this storyline of magic that Oliver is on they will eventually need to introduce Vixen and Swamp Thing to help even things out, and they did.Thea's whole conversation with Malcolm went about as well as I was expecting it to go, but I did enjoy line line at the end with Malcolm saying "It's better to have you alive and hate me, then to have you love me and dead." That is just a line that really stuck in my mind. It was really weird seeing how calm William seemed to be with everything it was kind of like he didn't notice he was kidnapped at all. And when his mother was explaining her whole side of the story William's emotions seemed to not fit that at all. Darhk no longer having powers is interesting because I don't think that is going to last very long because there are quite a few episodes left in this season and I don't think he is going to last very long without at least a little magic. Then the ending with Felicity I was not expecting and when she just gets up and walks away is really impossible because it seemed like she had just gained the feeling back in her legs and then she gets up and walks without any problem which is just impossible. Overall this was a really great episode that I really did enjoy.   

The Flash Season 2 Episode 15 "King Shark" Review

When King Shark escapes from an A.R.G.U.S. holding tank, Lyla and Diggle travel to Central City to warn The Flash. King Shark shows up at the West house and attacks Joe, Iris, Wally, and Barry.


This was a really great and interesting episode that was sort of the recovery episode for the previous episode. I like the idea of bringing back King Shark because he was given so little time the last time we saw him that it made him seem so unimportant. Then also having Lyla and Diggle there to help out was also fun. I wish they would have shown a point in the end of this episode or in the following Arrow episode where Felicity calls Barry to talk like Diggle promised he would get Felicity to do. All the scenes with Barry and Wally were awkward because of the fact all of them are hiding who Barry actually is from Wally because he is the only one who doesn't know. Then the scenes with Cisco and Catlin were also great with how they eventually ended their conversation with Catlin messing with Cisco. It was also funny how much Dr. Wells pressured all of them to not talk about what they saw on Earth 2, but in the end neither Cisco or Barry listened because both of them eventually told someone about what they saw. And the ending of this episode was not what I was expecting because I expected Jay to be Zoom but not in the way it turned out to be. Overall this was a really great episode with a lot of fun moments to it. 

Code Black Season 1 Episode 18 "Blood Sport" Review

Mario confronts Angus about his Adderall abuse and Christa is surprised to learn how romantically involved Neal and Grace were before she left for Haiti. Also, Dr. Mark Taylor (Kevin Dunn) returns to help Leanne find the money in their budget to keep Jesse and the nurses from walking out.

This was a really great episode especially to end this first season. It was a really great episode with all these extra people moving around because of the two possible candidates for governor were both injured and need help. The ending connection between the two candidate families was a nicely written part with who in each family ended up dead but there is one of them who I wished didn't die because they never really show them and I wish I could have gotten to know them as well. I liked finally hearing Grace's story about her time in Haiti as well as how her relationship with Neal ended. The whole plane to get more nurses still felt a little weird because up until these past two episodes it didn't feel like they had a shortage of nurses at all. And if it's a brand new change it's never explained, it's just a statement said at one point that they need more nurses. I hope that Christa and Neal's relationship doesn't last because it feels a little weird, but it also seemed to end in this episode because of a really stupid reason. Overall this was a really great finale that didn't really feel like a finale until the very end.  

Once Upon A Time Season 5 Episode 18 "Ruby Slippers" Review

In flashbacks, Ruby and Mulan find themselves in Oz, where they meet Dorothy. After the three witness Zelena's return to Oz, they look for a way to defeat her once and for all. However, Dorothy mysteriously disappears.

This was a really great episode that took a little bit of a different branch of this whole main story that I really kind of enjoyed. I loved having Ruby back in the main story slightly because she hasn't been in there very much and any recent time. And to see what she and Mulan had been up to and for some reason they randomly showed up in Oz and run into Dorothy was really kind of great I don't know why but I just really enjoyed it. And I also really like the whole part where it was a choice that either Charming or Snow White had to leave the underworld and go back home and just back and forth of trying to pick who it is but had to leave was in my mind a kind of boring concept but they actually made it kind of interesting. And then the whole part with Zelena and Hades and all the stuff with them was also really interesting and I'm kind of becoming a big fan of Hade's because he's just doing his job to some extent and all the rest of the heroes are just getting in the way. I wasn't a big fan of seeing Cruella again and I kind of hope that she doesn't come back because she's kind of annoying in this whole story. I would much rather see Ursula then her. And I did like that they keep going back and showing Henry doing his job as the author and that's really helping bring hope to the rest of the heroes down in the Underworld. Belle's story in this episode is also interesting with how it ended. And I kind of can't wait to see what that's all going to end up bringing for Rumpelstiltskin's future. Overall this was a really great episode that I really love.

Gotham Season 2 Episode 15 "Mad Grey Dawn" Review

Gordon and Bullock investigate a trail of clues left in a museum robbery which unbeknownst to them were left by Nygma in a dangerous game of cat and mouse. Gordon's past comes back to haunt him when an anonymous person threatens to expose his hand in Galavan's murder. Meanwhile, Penguin's visit to some old friends leads him to meet his father Elijah Van Dahl (Paul Reubens). and Bruce practices his street smarts.

This was a really great episode, especially for the Riddler. Because they did such a good job at introducing him at finally being the Riddler and him basically doing his own plan all in one episode which is kind of amazing for the Riddler. Just having him doing this plan to try and get rid of Gordon and so Gordon can't eventually accuse Nygma of the actual main crime he did was really amazing. Then also having all the scenes with Bruce out there in the city of Gotham with Catwoman was interesting with how he went about doing stuff and the fact that the one where it seems that he's addicted to pain is kind of weird but I guess. And then Penguins whole scenes in this episode was also weird with how everything just went down, with all his old friends thought he was a joke, and then all the sudden he meets his dad and it is like kind of accepted into this family he never knew he had instantly. I really want to see more of Gordon in prison and the next episode because I want to see a different side of him besides the police officer Gordon that and we have seen most of the time I want to see more of the killer Gordon that Gotham has changed him to be. But then I also want to see all the rest of the people working to try and free him and prove him innocent even though he's not. I really want to know what Penguins whole family's main plot is because I feel like they're hiding something. And I enjoyed seeing Bruce on the streets but I also don't think he belongs there. But it does work for his whole set-up to what he will become in the future. And just overall this was a really amazing episode that I love so much.

Arrow Season 4 Episode 14 "Code of Silence" Review

Team Arrow uncovers HIVE's plan to take them out for good, leading Lance to wonder if Donna is better off without him and Oliver to consider telling Felicity about his son.

This was a really interesting and great episode. I really enjoyed the whole story with it being Oliver and Felicity engagement party. And just having Felicity's mom taking over basically everything and trying to make this party be slightly about Felicity and Oliver but it's more about Felicity's Mom and all her hopes and dreams. All the parts with Darhk trying to finally take out Lance we're also really cool because I enjoyed the group that he had brought in to do it. Because the fact that they had these explosions that we're a bit different and like one explosion would go off then another then another. I wish we could have seen more of the actual debate between Darhk's wife and Oliver because they built it up as this big event but then it was like it's happening now it's over and you didn't get to see any of the parts in between. Because I would actually like to see the two of them talk about what they want to do for the city. But all the moments with him being the Green Arrow in this episode were also really great, and I really kind of like the idea of the relationship between Lance and Felicity's mom. Then the ending with Curtis's gift to Felicity was so sweet and amazing. Overall I really enjoyed this episode they had some pretty great moments do it.

Agents of SHIELD Season 3 Episode 15 "Spacetime" Review

When Daisy gets a horrifying glimpse of the future, S.H.I.E.L.D. races to prove that fate is not fixed.

This was a really interesting episode that I enjoyed. The whole concept of having Daisy be able to see the future and the whole team working with that to better their missions and plan out how to make everything work. Especially the whole thing that they kept going back to where they were training May to go and fight some of the other people by practicing it. And Daisy would be watching over to make everything work out the way she saw it. But I did also enjoy that they did have the other side with Fitz saying that once you see the future it is sort of set in stone and you can't change it so all their plans are trying to change up the future wouldn't work, I enjoy that they did have that side to the story as well. The ending was done really well with everything Daisy saw coming true. I am curious though with the guy that helped Daisy to see the future if he could see the future without touching someone or the only time his powers ever work as one he was touching someone else because then could like he ever see his own future or was he just always other people because that was the person he was touching, so I kind of wish I would have found out more about but I guess that's not going to happen. It was interesting to see this new better version of Ward butt it was also a little odd to see him doing all this stuff and like trying to build up his other guy who sort of like his boss but not really but building him up because this really more powerful person just end up ditching him at the end of the episode felt really kind of weird. But overall I really enjoyed this episode and thought it took a little bit different turn on the story that turned out to be really well done.
