The Librarians Season 3 Episode 6 "And the Trial of the Triangle" Review
In order to stop the spread of pure evil, the team must find the Eye of Ra and unravel the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle; Flynn must pass a series of tests.
This was a very interesting episode that was a little confusing at some parts but it was still really fun to watch. I did really like that in this episode they brought up a bit about some of the past librarians and a little history around that. Then I also really lie the idea that they went with for the Bermuda Triangle and they went with the thought that it is a wormhole to another dimension. I also liked that his whole episode revolved around teamwork and how Flynn is still struggling to work with the rest of the team. Now by the end of this episode, that problem with teamwork wasn't really all that fixed but it definitely looks like he's willing to work on it. I did really like that the other dimension had an Alice in Wonderland theme for it and when it is explained why it is there just for fun. It was a little weird how the team had this whole plan of what to do once they got on the plane to take care of themselves but for some reason, they didn't think about the other passengers until they were already on the plane. And I could have easily let that go with the thought that they were so wrapped up with planning it was one thing that slipped their mind but for the fact that they made such a big deal of trying to save everyone it seemed like it should have been a bigger deal before they got on the plane. I did like the distraction between Flynn and Eve to try and help the rest of the team get through the security with all their equipment. I find it kind of weird that Flynn doesn't really know Spanish because I felt like that should be easy for him, and they did give some reason but it was still odd. But I do have to say overall this was a really fun and entertaining episode.

Code Black Season 2 Episode 11 "Exodus" Review
A city-wide blackout leaves Angels Memorial without power or backup generators.
This was a really interesting episode that did a lot without over doing it. I did really like the idea of the blackout but the reason it caused them trouble was because of the boiler explosion all the way back in episode three that has yet to be fixed and ended up damaging the backup generator. That whole reason and the plan was a little strange but it still was pretty fun. I really liked the whole migration thing where all the noncritical patients are sent to walk down the street to the next closest medical facility. It was fun to see them all just slowly walking together and with the one guy high on pain medication for his kidney stone it made it a lot better. Then it interesting to see Leanne arguing with the doctor of this other medical facility about the best actions in healing all the patients.Then I liked the idea of having Jesse there and watching him and Campbell working together and Campbell realizing how much the ER needs Jesse around because he knows everything. Then Ethan working with the women who was slowly dying was very interesting with how eventually Dr.Nolan managed to convince him to go along with the old ladies fantasies. And just overall this was a really entertaining episode that ended on a very happy note.

Scorpion Season 3 Episode 11 "Wreck the Halls" Review
Team Scorpion's mountain getaway on Christmas Eve turns deadly when they cross paths with gun-runners and Ralph is kidnapped.
This was a really interesting episode that had some weird turns that didn't make all that much sense and a lot of the problems in this episode came out from sheer coincidence. I did really like the idea of the team going on a technology free trip into the woods to celebrate Christmas. It was a little weird with the guy that they saved how quickly they came to trust him even though later that came back to bite them because they asked the wrong question to see whether he was good or bad. I did really like all the thing with Toby trying to make this a perfect Christmas for Happy and everything that went into that, it was especially nice because Happy was trying to do the same for him. A lot of the coincidence moments were things like when one of the gun runners just happens to see their government issue licenses plates just before he walks far enough to get jumped on by Cabe and Walter. Then they just happen to leave Ralph alone with the true bad guy, and there just happens to be a strong enough fire causing the gun runner to find them. It was really cool how they managed to use the gun runners walkie talkies as a way to contact help when they are stuck in the cabin with the men with guns waiting outside and they had nothing. It was also really fun how they went all Home Alone style on the gun runners when they eventually tried to get into the house. I did really like the moment between Happy and Sylvester where she tells him to just be himself. I am really sad that Tim left because I was finally kind liked seeing him around. The change in tone between Walter and Tim at the end of this episode was a little strange but also kind of sweet. And I understand why he left because he truly is a leader and he can't be the leader of Walter's team so he needed to go somewhere else. And just overall this was a really fun and entertaining episode.
The Librarians Season 3 Episode 5 "And the Tears of a Clown" Review
The Librarians investigate a mysterious traveling carnival and discover how dangerous their collection of magical artifacts could be.
This was a really fun and entertaining episode that had a lot of really great moments to it. I really liked in the beginning of this episode how it was Jenkins going around the carnival looking for the librarians. I wish they could have done a bit more with Jenkins because it was really fun watching him run around kind of being a librarian himself. It was a little weird how the thing that woke the librarians up from the spell they were under was just some basic smelling salts. Then the main runner of the carnival his whole evil plan was a little weird because I understood it fine but why was it even really a thing. I was so cool to see Felicia because it was a complete surprise to me. The magical item in this episode was really cool for the fact that it was a brand new magical item so there was no record of what it could be. It was especially fun in the scene where Stone kept telling them what the item could be and later all the rest come to the same conclusion after completely ignoring him the whole time. The magical items abilities was a little weird because, on one hand, it did some basic mind control while it also turned people into clowns and did some other small things. I do have to say overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait to see the next one with what the preview was showing for it.

Pure Genius Season 1 Episode 8 "Around the World in Eight Kidneys" Review
James and the surgeons of Bunker Hill try to make medical history with an organ transplant chain of 16 surgeries with donors and patients from all over the world.
This such an interesting and great episode that managed to have a lot of development in its characters even though with this episode they had to deal with a lot of characters. I really liked their whole set up of this international organ chain with that moment of all them speaking different languages and everything to get files and find people it was just so cool to see. And I really liked how each of the donors was a variety of different people all just wanting to help each other out. I really liked the mine lady and her daughter and just how willing the mother was to die a slow and painful death just so that her daughter could go and live her dreams as a dancer. And the whole device they worked on to help with her dialysis was kind of cool with how they eventually made it all work. Then Zoe doing all this stuff behind Walter's back just so she could save her patient I don't must care for because it was complete manipulation of another person. Then the truth about the secret patient was kind of cool because they did a really good job of keeping everything about the person a mystery. And the moments at the end of this episode were really great with all the people who needed kidneys meeting those who donated to them. And I really liked that the lady who was supposed to donate to Constance made the promise that once she was able to she would donate. And just overall this was a really sweet and entertaining episode to watch.

Scorpion Season 3 Episode 10 "This Is the Pits" Review
Team Scorpion must rescue a woman trapped in the La Brea Tar Pits before she runs out of oxygen.
This was such a great episode with a kind of simple plot but it was done really well so it kind of made up for the fact that there isn't much there. The whole part about Walter doing all kinds of things to try and get Paige more interested in him again was funny with some of the things he did, but it was also a little annoying with how his opinion on whether to go after Paige or not keeps changing. Then it was also a little annoying that of course, something happened to Tim to give better reasons as to why he is still sticking around. I did really like all the mismatch of scuba gear and random things they used to make the best possible scuba suit for Walter to go down into the tar pits. Then all the other things they did to try and minimize burns was kind of interesting to watch. It was also very interesting the things this woman had in her car because I don't have like half of that stuff. I don't have a flair or athletic tape so if it were me in my car I would be fucked. The only thing I have that she did too was a flashlight. Then the scenes with Ralph and Paige's mother were really fun to watch the two of them working together to make some money. And just overall this was a really fun and entertaining episode to watch.

The Librarians Season 3 Episode 4 "And the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy" Review
After seeing a vision of her own death at the hands of a supernatural assassin, Baird attempts to stop the deadly prophecy from coming true.
This was a really great and interesting episode that had some twists to it and was really fun to watch. I really liked the idea at the beginning of this episode where the group wakes up and can't remember anything of what happened to them. The beginning scene where they were at the pizza place seemed a little weird because they could have gone anywhere and they chose to have the first encounter with the reaper be there. I really liked all the planning and explanation around the prophecy glass and cubes that were kind of cool to see that amount of detail in it. It was really weird how they used the prophecy glass however because they seemed to jump from not wanting to use it to using all the time to see what was behind the next door. Then I might have missed it but it really seemed like Cassandra just disappeared when they were at the pool and showed up again back at the Library. And I kind of wish they would have done a bit more with the side characters in this episode instead of them being more or less like shadows to the rest of the group. I did really like that they brought up the fact that one of the side characters used the word prophecy glass before ever being told what that was, and leaving that as little clues to the truth. I did really love all the greek mythology throughout this episode connecting everything together. All the moments with Jenkins in this episode were really great to watch and see how his age or immortality fit into solving or creating problems in this episode. The hourglass was also really cool to watch Baird use it to help her in making life or death decisions because she can't die until the hourglass runs all the sand. And just overall this was a really great and interesting episode that was really a lot of fun to watch.
