Agents of SHIELD Season 4 Episode 7 "Deals with Our Devils" Review


With the loss of half the team, the remaining members search for answers as the clock counts down for Ghost Rider.

This was a very interesting episode that I kind of like for how everything played out and the way everything was shown. I did kind of like the whole idea of showing the real version of events and then going and showing those same events from the ghost dimension that Coulson, Fitz, and Robbie are stuck in. I liked it but become the would be re-showing the same scene twice it did get a little boring to hear the same conversations again. I did really like that they did address Simmons going missing and showing what she was up to. Those moments were kind of really interesting and I hope they come back as some kind of importance in the future with the guy now coming out of Terrigenisis. The scenes with Daisy and Robbie were really fun with them trying to track down Mack and Robbie freaking out as Daisy scratches up his car. Then I really loved the scene with Robbie and the Rider finally talking to each other and making a deal that they both agree on and understand. Aida in this episode was kind of cool to see her truly helping  out and doing things that the humans couldn't. I want to know how is could see Fitz and Coulson in the ghost dimension because that seemed like such a weird moment to me. And I really want to know what Aida has planned with how this episode ended on her. And just overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for more.  

The Flash Season 3 Episode 8 "Invasion!" Review

Barry asks Green Arrow for help when aliens attack Central City, but when they realize that won't be enough, they track down the Legends of Tomorrow so they can bring Supergirl in on the battle.

This was such a great starter episode to the big team up, some parts were a little confusing and hard to follow, but it was just so much fun. It is a little weird how much Cisco seems to not like Barry which to some degree I can understand but it is also going a bit too overboard for my liking, with him basically handing Barry over to be ridiculed by the rest of the group. And them just laying on more issues because of Barry messing with the timeline is good too and extent because Barry should understand the consequences of his actions but the fact that it all keeps getting laid on there is getting a little tiresome with it being bad thing after bad thing. It was such a cool moment seeing all the different teams gathering together to work through this problem. It was a little weird how Barry took Oliver and Diggle away from fighting the Vigilante but didn't do anything to stop the Vigilante. It was really cool to see Oliver kind of step up to be the leader because he truly is the one who started all of this mess or people. The aliens were kind of interesting but also really hard to follow on what their plan actually is. It was really cool to see Barry and Oliver fight up against all the other heroes who are affected by the alien's weapon. I kind of like the idea of HR and Wally working in secret on training Wally to become a hero, but I also don't like it because I'm having a hard time trusting HR still. The ending of this episode actually leaves we super excited to see what will happen next now that they kind of split the teams up to some extent. Overall this was a really fun episode and I can't wait to see more.

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 8 "Medusa" Review


As Eliza comes to National City for Thanksgiving, Kara turns to Lena for help when Cadmus unleashes a virus that instantly kills aliens, then is asked by Barry Allen and Cisco Ramon for help with an alien invasion on their Earth.

This was such a great episode that had so many really great moments to it that was just really fun to watch. I did like in the beginning of this episode where James and Alex are fighting over whose moment this Thanksgiving dinner is going to be for. Whether it is going to be about Alex coming out to everyone or if it will be James telling Kara he is the Guardian. The whole Medusa sickness is kind of cool but I don't quite understand how it worked. Because originally it was made by the Kryptonians to kill off all other aliens that aren't Kryptonian, but then for some reason, it also doesn't affect humans either. I mean I could understand if it was said that the Cadmus scientist tweaked with the virus to make it not affect humans, but I don't think that was every really brought up. It was kind of cool to see this growing relationship between Kara and Mon-El, and I want to know if Mon-el truly can't remember what happened or if he was faking it. Then bringing Eliza into the mix as a bit of the DEO's like emergency doctor was kind of cool that they chose to include her into so much of this episode. Lena's whole roll in this episode was so cool to watch as see how she is not like her brother or mother and just watching her make her own decisions on how she wants to live her life. And I really did like the line that Lena said to Supergirl which went along the line of "Your cousin went after my brother, you're going after my mother, so how long till you start coming after me." That was such a great line to throw in there because it is so true. Then the ending between Barry and Kara was so nice and simple, I do wish they could have done a bit more with it but maybe they will in The Flash episode. And just overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait to see what the rest of the episodes will bring for the major team up.    

Gotham Season 3 Episode 11 "Beware the Green-Eyed Monster" Review


Mario and Gordon face off before the wedding, Selina meets an unexpected face and Barbara comes to Nygma with information about Isabella.

This was a really great and mind messing of an episode that was so much fun to watch. I loved watching Mario using the fact that he is infected with Alice's blood and unlike Barns Mario is using more of a mental manipulation to get what he want out of everything. Because Mario's whole plan seems to be to drive Gordon crazy while also giving Lee enough reason to start to hate Gordon. And with how this episode ended I don't think that hate will go away in any kind of easy way. I did like that they brought back in the way for the test for Alice's blood to be proven negative, I'm happy that they did make that an important moment in this episode and not have it be something that was kind of thrown away. Then the scene with Jervis was so great with Gordon using Jervis's love of making all he says sound like it is coming out of a storybook and tricking Jervis into saying things he doesn't want to. All the moments with Nygma in this episode were really great with how he walked around the narratives set up by Penguin to eventually find out the truth of everything. I'm kind of happy that Barbra didn't get to involved in Nygma finding out the truth but rather she kind of laid the seeds for Nygma to follow. Then Bruce trying to learn all this stuff on how to break into an area to get whatever is inside the court of owls safe was kind of cool to watch, but also a little boring because they set it up like Selina wasn't going to help out, but really, of course, she is going to help Bruce break in. But overall I have to say I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for more.

Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 9 "Changelings" Review


Mr. Gold has gone too far, he is turning back into the beast that everyone feared, He has made Belle go into labor.


This was a very interesting episode that had some good moments but I really don't know how I feel about the episode as a whole. I liked the struggle of who is worse between Gold and the Evil Queen where there once growing relationship is now completely broken and falling apart. The fight between Zelena and the Evil Queen I was really hoping that there would be more to it because that is a fight I would rather enjoying watching, but Zelena just went and got the crap beaten out of her without  even trying to fight back. It was nice to have Regina back in the picture with Zelena after they have been ignoring each other even if it wasn't fully intentional to do so. All the moments with Belle were really great both in the current times and flashback moments. I liked the story of how Rumple's mother is a fairy and a dark one at that it is a really interesting story idea that I hope they expand on a bit more in the future. And it was also an interesting connection they decided to make to give a reason as to why Rumple hates fairies. Then all the dream moments between Belle and her son were really well done but I wish Gideon could have explained a bit more beyond saying things like "you know what to do," or "the answer is right in front of you," those seemed like such weak lines to me. The ending was kind of cool and I liked that Belle didn't tell Gold the name of their son, that I found a very clever moment to connect to the character of Rumple and the power he can do with just simply having a name. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and it was done really well for it not being about the more main characters of the story.

The Librarains Season 3 Episode 2 "And the Fangs of Death" Review


Flynn leads the others on a rescue mission, which leads them into a subterranean trap filled with ancient Egyptian werewolves.

This was a very interesting episode that had some parts that were a little confusing and hard to follow but mostly this episode was just fun. I did really like that when they came up with the idea of werewolves they didn't stick with the classic Grimm fairy tales kind of wolf they stuck with their theme and went the Egyptian werewolf route. The whole idea of being stuck in a bunker was cool to an extent because it limited the area between the wolves and the librarians but also that wasn't shown all that much because it only seemed like when they entered into the hallway to get to a different location is when the wolves would show up not when they are hanging out in an area for several minutes. Ezekiel getting bitten by the wolf was okay but I wish they would have done more with it because he really didn't seem affected until the very end of the episode. Then all the moments with Baird and Jenkins were really great to see Jenkins outside of the library and using his immortality a bit. But I don't know if I missed it or if it was never said, what was the secret between Jenkins and Flynn. Then I really liked that they brought Charlene back into the mix because I was very curious about whether or not she survived. And All the mix-ups involving her in this episode makes me really hopeful to see her again in the episodes to come. Overall this was a really entertaining and great episode that was really a lot of fun to watch.

The Flash Season 3 Episode 7 "Killer Frost" Review


The team is in for a shock, as Caitlyn is forced to reveal her Killer Frost powers. But she is not the only one with a secret.

This was a really great and interesting episode that did such a great job with Killer Frost. I loved so much how they showed off so many of Killer Frost's abilities and them doing everything from her forming icicles and giving people frost bite to showing her iconic kiss that freezes people to death. It was a little weird how she seemed to change in a way that was almost like a light switch going off. But I did have a feeling something was up in the scene were she goes and gets Joe from the police station saying there is something wrong with Wally something just felt really off there. The whole fight scene between Vibe and Killer Frost was really well done, I wish they could have done a bit more but it was still really fun to see them going after each other with Barry being there for a part of it but still it was mostly about the two of them. It was a little weird how Caitlyn seemed to turn off Killer Frost simply because Barry shows her that she is not all that bad and there is still good inside of her. Then the scene where Joe freaks out because of what happened to Caitlyn so her breaks Wally out of the cocoon early was a really cool moment with how they chose to show I with having it be a worried parent looking out for there kid and then have a switch to regret after something goes wrong. then the twist ending of who Alchemy actually is I can honestly say I was not expecting that at all and I loved it so much. And just overall I really enjoyed this episode and it had so many great moments to it.
