Supergirl Season 1 Episode 12 "Bizarro" Review

Kara must deal with a twisted version of Supergirl while venturing into a possible romance.

This was a very interesting episode that left me a little confused about some parts. In the beginning of the episode when CatCo media was looking for an idea to explain away what Supergirl had done the previous night it was a little weird how quickly they jumped no board Kara's idea that it wasn't actually Supergirl. But it did help to set up the naming of this other Supergirl and name her Bizarro, which is a name I don't really care for and I don't thin it is all that catchy but at least it wasn't something like Anti-Supergirl. Then I have a question on the fact of did Maxwell do plastic surgery on this Jane Doe to make her look more like Supergirl because before she liked kind of similar but not that spot on. I wish that they could have seen a bit more of the science and building Bizarro to be who she is instead of the start and then finished product because then I could maybe understand the change in her face when she is hurt. The DEO not caring to treat Bizarro as any form of intelligent life until the very end also felt a little weird to me. All the date parts with Adam were nice but I'm kind of happy that relationship didn't last, but I kind of wish that it might have lasted a bit longer. Also having James admit kind of that he has feelings for Kara seemed a little weird because I just feel that not every guy who gets introduced into Kara's life needs to have a crush on her. But that being said I do like that Winn and Kara are kind of talking again after he admitted his feeling to her. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for the next one. 

Once Upon a Time Season 5 Episode 21 "Last Rites" Review

Emma, David, Regina, Robin and Henry are finally back home in Storybrooke and reunited with Snow, but, unfortunately, they still have to contend with Hades, who continues to deceive Zelena as he lays out his plan to use the all-powerful Olympian Crystal to take over the town. The heroes desperately search for a way to defeat Hades while Hook does the same in the Underworld, looking for those missing storybook pages. Regina and Robin take a more direct approach, which culminates in an epic showdown that will leave our heroes forever changed.

This was a very interesting episode really all about Hades rise and fall of power, and really just about the team all getting readjusted back in Storybrooke. I really like that this episode primary focused on Hades and Zelena to help and show Zelena's change in opinion of Hades and really having her finally come to the conclusion on her own that no matter how hard she tries she really can not change Hades. It was also really cool to see the Olympian Crystal and here about what it could do because that is a magical artifact that I'm not all the familiar with so I'm curious if it is a real part of the Greek lore or if it is something that the writers made up to give Hades more power. Having Emma be in denial and her running around and not really listening to anyone I really didn't care for and after so much of it, I started to get a little annoyed. All the parts with Hook and Arthur in the underworld were really great especially with all the other characters commenting on how they are on a bro-venture together, which it really was. The change of making Arthur into the new ruler of the underworld felt a little weird to me, but it could easily be because I'm still so used to Arthur being a hero so this villain Arthur that this show has is still really different to me. The scene where Hook meets Zeus was fun and I like that they didn't make Zeus a really big mussel man like some other depictions of Zeus have been. The ending between Regina and Robin was really sad but I hope with how it ended for Zelena as well that this sadness that they both now share will help to bring them even closer. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and it had some great parts to it. 

Arrow Season 4 Episode 21 "Monument Point" Review

When Team Arrow learns what Damien Darhk’s next move is, Felicity realizes she needs to ask her father, Noah Kuttler, for help. Noah and Oliver have a heart to heart talk that leaves Oliver rattled.

This was a really great episode that ran pretty smoothly but there were some parts that felt a little long to me. I really did enjoy the idea of bringing Felicity’s father back into the mix with the idea that he is the only one smart enough to be able to stop the nuclear launches of all the nukes in the world. Then also having Darhk be well aware of this fact that Noah is the only one who can stop him so he has a bunch of hitmen sent after him. The fact that Felicity is getting kicked out of Palmer Tec felt a little weird to me with the timing of it all, but it did make for a really cool break in scene where team arrow has to steal some technology from Palmer Tec. When one of the nukes wasn’t stopped in time was also a little weird for the fact that it took Felicity forever to decide to move some satellites to trick the nuke into landing somewhere other then it’s designated location, because I feel if she had decided to do that sooner she could have landed it somewhere with a lot fewer people then where it eventually did fall. The first part where Malcolm coming and talking to Thea was nice because I kind of had forgotten about his plan to save Thea and that’s the reason she is down there and not just because of Alex.  All the parts with Thea and Anarky were really great especially their final little fighting scene. But it was a little weird with Thea finally exposing her identity to Lonnie because now unless something more permeate happened to Anarky I feel he is always going to be on Thea’s tail. It is also a little weird with how little the rest of the team seems to focus on the fact that Thea is missing because they did bring up needing to call her back into the loop but they don’t talk in any scenes after about how they are unable to reach her or anything like that. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can’t wait for the next one.

The Flash Season 2 Episode 21 "The Runaway Dinosaur" Review

Iris volunteers to act as the bait in a plan to trap Girder in S.T.A.R. Labs; Barry struggles to go back to his old life.

This was a really great and interesting episode that was really in two parts. I did kind of like that for most of this episode they kept Barry separate from the rest of the group and had him working with the Speed Force to figure out what really made Barry be Barry. And I did like the parts where Barry is trying to chase after his own speed and failing miserably, which that was one thing that kind of bugged me because how did he ever think he could catch up to something running that fast when he is running at a normal speed. I also did really like that part where Harry makes the comment that all that is going on is really like a rebirth for Barry because the first time he got his powers he basically woke up and the first villain he fought was Girder, and now that is happening all over again. With the lightning hitting both Jesse and Wally does that mean they both now have the Speed Force too, because it would make sense for Wally because he eventually does become The Flash, and it would be cool to give Jesse a bit more of a reason to stay around. The one scene where Joe was testing to see if Wally had some speed was very fun, but even if Wally does have the speed I don't think that test would have worked because it didn't really fit Wally's personality like is would Barry's. And Iris using herself and bait and also being the one to figure out what Girder was actually after was really great to see. Then the ending with Zoom gathering all these random meta-humans was fun to see and I can't wait to see what they will all be like. Overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait for the next one.   

Scorpion Season 2 Episode 23 "Chernobyl Intentions" Review

In Chernobyl, Sylvester and Paige become trapped inside a decaying nuclear reactor that the team is trying to repair before a tragic meltdown.

This was surprisingly a really great episode but that being said there were some moments where I kind of had to say “really why” to some of the things that happened to them. Because out of all the things to happen in this episode why not crash a plane causing Paige and Sylvester to get stuck and then as soon as they get Sylvester out Paige and Walter get stuck inside and the only real exit is in a hole in the roof that they have to climb a whole bunch of stuff to get to. I did like the fact that they brought in the amusement park just outside of Chernobyl into the story and eventually used it to help get the plane out of the building. Also having the team leave Toby behind in this episode was very interesting because they didn’t have him fully there making remarks about every idea that came to their minds. It was also nice seeing Toby preparing to propose to Happy. Then also having Happy sort of filling in for Toby in the department of talking to Walter about his feeling for Paige was a fun little turn of events. Then the ending and what happened to Toby I can’t wait to see how that will turn out in the next episode. Overall I really did like this episode but there were some moments I didn’t care for. 

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 11 "Strange Visitor from Another Planet" Review

Kara helps Hank face his painful past when a white martian, who wiped out all of the green martians from Mars, kidnaps Senator Miranda Crane who is an anti-alien politician. Adam Foster who is Cat's estranged son arrives in National City.

This was a very interesting episode that had some good parts to it. I did like that they addressed what went down between Winn and Kara in the last episode and showed all the awkwardness in this episode because of it. Bringing in another person who is very anti-alien was very interesting with all the stuff that went down around her but I kind of wish that I could have heard a bit more of her platform and why she is so opposed to aliens. Because it seemed like right when she was getting into talking and I was getting what she was saying that is when the white martian strikes so I didn't get to hear too much. And I was wondering what the white martian did with the senator because it seemed like Kara was right on her tail and yet the white martian had enough time to hide the senator and change form just that timing seemed a little off to me. And also all the parts where the white martian didn't know who the green martian was also weird because there were many scenes where it seemed like the white martian figured out it was Hank and then in the next scene she was still asking for the white martian's identity. Then all the scenes with Adam and Cat were really great with that fact that the two didn't instantly get along, and even just in this first episode of him being there I really liked him as a character. The ending where Adam asks Kara out on a date was really funny and I can't wait to see what that might do to Winn. Then the ending was interesting and I feel like it is because of Maxwell and if that is true I wish they would have shown more of him in this episode and not just show this surprise at the end. Overall I really liked this episode and I can't wait for the next one. 
  

Arrow Season 4 Episode 20 "Genesis" Review

As Oliver and Felicity look for a magical solution to defeat Darhk, a vengeance-driven Diggle gets a lead on Andy's whereabouts and heads off to confront his brother. Meanwhile, Alex takes Thea on a vacation that quickly turns into a nightmare.

This was a very interesting episode, but it also felt a little off in my mind with how it was presented. The idea of the team going and taking a break while Oliver went out and learned how to use magic seemed like a really interesting idea in my mind, but the way they went about actually doing this episode is what put me off. Because Felicity now being somewhat back on the team decided to personally go with Oliver to find this other magical person for little to no reason in my mind. Then Diggle just sent the whole episode dealing with Andy and Darhk so he really didn't get much of a break at all he just went about doing the work mostly solo. The only one who actually went on a break was Thea and even that was far from a true vacation. So it was a good idea but not really shown in the way I imagined it. I did really like all the scenes with Oliver and the Shaman and telling him about light magic and dark magic and how it all works when it comes to facing Darhk. I also liked the parts within that where Oliver has to try and learn to see past all the darkness in him life and begin to see all the light in it. Which at first when he was talking about all this after the Shaman kick Oliver out and he told Felicity that she is really his biggest light in his life I had a moment of thinking maybe Felicity might be the one to end up with the magic, but that question really has yet to be fully answered. How things ended between Andy and John was really sad and I wish there could have been another way but it was also the thing that made the most amount of sense especially with Andy threatening his family. Overall I really did like this episode it just felt a little off in my mind.
