Legion Season 1 Episode 8 "Chapter 8" Review

David faces his biggest challenge yet.

This was a really great and entertaining episode that didn't really have a lot to it but it was still so interesting to watch everything play out. I liked how David is now more in control of his powers and is using them more frequently now. It was really interesting how they brought back the one guy who was interrogating David at the begging of this season and had a whole chunk of this episode dedicated to what happened to this guy after David left. I loved the conversation between this guy and Melanie about David and how powerful he truly is all the while all the other people are listening in on this conversation. I really liked how because the Shadow King could no longer talk to David it instead switched over to talking to Syd. And the scene where they are working to get the Shadow King out of David was really interesting but also a little boring at first with David just traveling back through all his memories to see how the Shadow King was never really there. The ending was awesome with the Shadow King leaving David and traveling through almost all of them at some point. And I knew that somehow the Shadow King had to end up inside of Oliver because they had to have brought him back for a reason. And just overall this was a really entertaining and great episode to watch and I can't wait for next year to watch some more.        

Arrow Season 5 Episode 18 "Disbanded" Review


Diggle and Felicity are shocked by Oliver's decision to ask the Bratva for help in taking down Prometheus.

This was a really interesting episode that wasn't all that exciting but it still was really entertaining to watch. I liked how Oliver didn't want to be the Green Arrow but he still had this desire to take down Adrian so he went and brought the Bratva in to do the dirty work and try and do something that Adrain wouldn't suspect. And with that I liked how they came up with many different things that Adrain wouldn't suspect in the in the attempt to take him down, the main one being a picture of Adrain in the Prometheus costume without the mask on. It was kind of fun to watch Felicity and Curtis working without the rest of the group to try and unscramble that picture and get it out to the public. I loved how John never gave up on trying to convince Oliver that he isn't a bad guy and destroying everything he built is a really bad idea. I especially loved the scene where John makes the connection of how he was acting at the beginning of the season being similar to how Oliver is acting now and john isn't going anywhere just like Oliver did for him. All the issues between Oliver and the Bratva were really interesting to watch it all play out, and I can't wait to see what kind of trouble that will bring in the future. And just overall this was a really interesting and entertaining episode to watch and with how it ended with Adrian I'm so excited to see what will happen next.

The Flash Season 3 Episode 18 "Abra Kadabra" Review


The Flash fights a villain from Earth-19 called Abra Kadabra, who offers to reveal Savitar's identity in exchange for his release.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that had a lot of really great moments in it. I really liked how they dealt with the decision of whether or not to free Kadabra in order to get information on Savitar. And I liked it because it really wasn't up to Barry but rather it was Joe just trying to protect his family and keep them all alive. It was really interesting how Gypsy played into the mix and when they finally gave a reason as to why she hates Kadabra so much. It was a little weird to me how the tried to keep what Kadabra was planning a secret when to me it was kind of obvious from the beginning that if he was from the future he would be working to try and get back there. I loved the whole team up with everyone with powers out in the city trying to stop Kadabra from returning to the future. I feel really bad for Caitlin and Julian in this episode with how many times they got hurt by Kadabra. But the moments with Caitlin in this episode were really great with her refusing to use her cold powers to heal herself so the rest of the team had to find ways to help her. And the ending where she finally had to give into her cold power was great and I'm excited to see what they will do next with her. And just overall this was a really great episode and I'm excited to see what they will do with Barry going into the future.

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 17 "Distant Sun" Review

'

Aliens attack National City with the intention of collecting a large bounty put out on Supergirl.

This was a really great and entertaining episode that had some really great moments to it. I liked that Mon-El's mother was kind of working on her own to get all that she wants. And I have a really hard time understanding how much Mon-El's mother loved him but she also refused to listen to him and what he wanted. I wish they could have shown more than just two bounty hunters coming after Kara, but the two they did show were really cool. I really liked how they brought the idea of the president back into the mix in this episode by haveing her issues orders that the DEO can not attack the Daxam ship. I loved the scene where Mon-El brings his parents to the bar where he works and their whole conversation there was really fun. The final fight between the Daxamite's and Supergirl and her friends were really fun to watch how everyone played into that fight. I liked how they brought the idea of Daxam being littered with kryptonite after Krypton exploded by having Mon-El's mother have several kryptonite daggers on her. Then the ending for Mon-El's mother was very interesting and I'm excited to see what they will do with her next. And just overall this was a really great and fun episode to watch.

Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 14 "Page 23" Review


Believing there isn't room in Storybrooke for both her and Regina, the Evil Queen sets out to eliminate her other half. Hook, determined to make things work with Emma, turns to his old friend Captain Nemo for advice, but Gideon torpedoes the plan before he's able to set things right.

This was such a boring and pointless episode that was really unneeded. Because they brought back the Evil Queen at the end of the last episode just to completely get rid of her in this episode. With that, I'm very happy that they got rid of Robin as well because that was another pointless story line. And how they chose to get rid of the Queen is just why? Because I would have been fine if they just killed her or had her be absorbed back into Regina those would have been fine ideas but going and sending her away to have her own happy ending is just why? I did like how they chose to show Emma finding out about Hooks secret because it was kind of simple and not just someone else figuring it out. And I really liked that they brought Nemo back into the mix to help Hook out. The ending for Hook was kind of surprising and I wonder how that might affect the future because in Emma's vision Hook was there so if he is not maybe that will help change the future. And just overall this was not the greatest of episodes and kind of a pointless one.

Legion Season 1 Episode 7 "Chapter 7" Review


David tries to find a way out of his predicament.

This was a really great and entertaining episode that was so great to watch and see how they all escaped from David's mind. I really liked how they decided to take the astral plane idea with Oliver being in control of it and can create anything in the to block the monster in David's mind, but then also this monster pretty much has its eyes on every part of the astral plane and knows where everyone is. And I really liked how this episode was broken up into three really great story plots, one being Syd going around trying to collect everyone, another was Cary, Melanie, and Oliver trying to fin a way out without anyone dying, and finally David is trying to regain control of his mind. I really liked the idea of the glasses Syd got helped show the truth from all the illusions. I still want to know what happened to The Eye that he went all crazy and who is he, but with how this episode ended it is very unlikely we will know that. And I loved when part of this episode kind of went into a silent movie style with text coming in instead of them actually talking when Kerry and Syd had to face the monster. And I loved the scene where David comes up a way to escape and get his mind back but also works through what is true in his life through a bunch of chalkboard drawings. I liked that they kind of hinted at and confirmed that Professor X is David's father, so I'm excited to see what they will do there. The final reveal of the monster in David's head being the Shadow King is kind of cool and I can't wait to see where they will go with that. And just overall this was a really entertaining and great episode to watch and I can't wait to see what they will do for the season finale.    

Arrow Season 5 Episode 17 "Kapiushon" Review


Prometheus goes to extreme lengths to destroy Oliver. In flashbacks, Oliver's violent tendencies come to a head in a confrontation with Anatoly.

This was a really interesting and great episode that I really loved the fact that it only focused on Oliver. It was also really great how this episode was mostly backstory and an actual really interesting backstory compared to some other episodes where the backstory felt random and unnecessary. And it was interesting what happened to Kovar and how Oliver grew into a monster. I liked they gave a little moment of Oliver getting the tattoo for the Bratva and showed the growing relationship between Oliver and Anatoly. Prometheus's whole interrogation scenes were interesting with all the different things Prometheus did to mess with Oliver. I liked that they brought Evelyn back in this episode but I don't like what they did with her because I was willing to accept her back into Team Arrow. It was a little annoying how undetailed Prometheus was with his questions because he just kept saying to Oliver over and over again "Tell me your secret," and what does that mean exactly. Now when Oliver finally did tell Prometheus what he wanted to hear it was very interesting but also not all that surprising to me. I'm very curious to see what they are going to do now that Oliver doesn't want to be the Green Arrow anymore and wants Team Arrow to stop. And just overall this was a really great episode that was so entertaining and interesting to watch.
