Riverdale Season 2 Episode 7 "Chapter Twenty: Tales from the Darkside" Review

The town remains on edge after a chilling letter from the Black Hood challenges the town's residents to remain sinless for 48 hours, or he'll strike again.

This was a really great and exciting episode that was really fun to watch with how they decided to stylize the whole story of the episode. And with that, I really enjoyed that style because they decide to go about repeating the same 48 hours over and over but each time it was with a different set of the main characters and just showing what each of them did within those 48 hours. And the first chunk with Archie and Jughead was interesting with them to going to do this drug run for the Serpent's and just everything that they encountered with that was interesting to see what all it revealed for the possibility of the masked man. And I'm very interested to see how that connection might come out going forward with them learning about this old killer in Riverdale known as the Reaper I believe. Then the second part revolved around Cheryl and Josie and Josie trying to go about her normal life but a lot of things keep getting in the way. And when the truth was revealed about what Cheryl is actually doing I'm very interested to see what might happen if that truth actually comes out. Then everything with Veronica and Betty was interesting but probably the weakest point in the episode in my opinion because it felt like they were leading up to this big reveal secret but it was not really anything new in my opinion. I did really like those split opinion between Veronica and Betty about what the sheriff is up to and both of them trying to prove the other one wrong and how they each one went about doing that was interesting to see but then actual truth like I said what the sheriff was doing wasn't all that exciting but it will be interesting to see when that does eventually come out for everyone know. And just overall this was a really interesting and exciting episode and I'm very interested to see what they're going to do with the story going forward.

Arrowverse Crossover Day Two "Crisis on Earth-X, Parts 3&4" Review

The gang comes together for Barry and Iris's wedding, but the ceremony is crashed by villains from Earth-X.

This was a really great second half that did a good job of having the mains story part in the third part and then just wrapping everything up in the fourth part. All the moments on Earth X we're really well done with how they took the ideas of each of the characters and introduced some new ones and just working through a whole plan of how to escape back to Earth One. I really enjoyed their introduction of The Ray and how they played him into everything and just how well he sort of fit in with the rest of the group. Then the reintroduction of this new version of Captain Cold as Citizen Cold was interesting where he's from Earth X and doesn't know any of the other people. Then everything that went on with Kara and everyone stuck in Star Labs that didn't get stuck on Earth X was interesting with how they eventually managed to free Kara from the red light altering her powers and how they finally brought the rest of Legends into the fight. And it was fun that they did again have a little nod to Ray's Superman past. It was really interesting who out of villains in the character's past they decided to bring into this with them reintroducing Metallo, and Red Tornado, as well as a few other villains, was interesting to see how they fit them all in and how they actually had other heroes fighting against these villains instead of Supergirl. Then just the whole final fight scene between the heroes and the Earth X versions was interesting to see how it all played out. It was a little disappointed that it definitely looks like they ran out of money because the visual effects didn't look as good as they did in the previous parts. But still, all the fighting and how they decide to end the story for each of the Earth X members was very interesting to see. The ending of the fourth part I really don't care for and it felt really kind of unnecessary and could have been so much better if they just cut it out or shortened it. Because I did like that moment of Barry and Iris finally going through the whole ceremony of getting married even though it wasn't necessary but then having Felicity barge in there and make it about her by saying that she wants to marry Oliver as well was just really annoying and unnecessary with how it looks like in the next Arrow episode they're just going to get married again. So that ending just felt really weird and unnecessary and I felt like I could have ended a lot better if they would have just ignored that part all the other. And just overall this was a really exciting and fun second half to the crossover and I can't wait to see what they might do next year.

Arrowverse Crossover Day One "Crisis on Earth-X, Parts 1&2" Review

The gang comes together for Barry and Iris's wedding, but the ceremony is crashed by villains from Earth-X.

This was a really great first half that did a nice job of setting things up for whats to come and really bringing everyone together. I really loved how they did the beginning of this episode where they did an introduction of each of the main heroes revolving around them forgetting to turn in there save the date cards for Barry and Iris's wedding. It was especially fun with Supergirl fighting a dominator and making the comment that they were so last year. Then the party before the wedding and the actual wedding was really great with how everything was done and the little nods to characters to come. It was really interesting how they decided to have the heroes meet there evil Earth-X versions of themselves, I didn't much care for the storyline of having Kara and Oliver being married but I did really like the moment of them showcasing the kryptonite arrow. I wish a few more of the Legends would have been around because it felt like a really odd group of Legends members hanging out helping and the rest of them were just missing. Especially Ray I feel could have fit in with everyone else because he is friends with most of the main heroes. Then the reason of why the Earth-Xers were on Earth-1 was kind of weird because they were there for Kara but how did they know she was on Earth-1 and why didn't they go to Earth-23 to look for her. And they didn't really give a reason as to why Overgirl had taken into much solar radiation they just said that she had taken into much and it was killing her. So did Overgirl absorbed the whole sun or something and that explains why Earth-X is so dark or what is going on it was never really explained. But still this was a really great first half to set everything up and I excited to see what they are going to do now the part of the team is trapped on Earth-X. 

Scorpion Season 4 Episode 10 "Crime Every Mountain" Review

Team Scorpion tries to help a father and his daughter when their plane crashes nearby; Paige helps Walter navigate his feelings about Cabe's possible future in prison.

This was a really interesting episode that had a lot of really great moments in it that were entertaining to watch. I really liked the moments with Sylvester and Cabe going around trying to track down Mark but in doing so it was discovered that Mark was playing them to make Cabe seem even more guilty. Just how all those moments turned out and Cabe's big speech at the end was just all really amazing and well done. Then I'm happy that the moment with Paige and Walter being stuck behind a bunch of rocks wasn't a very long scene it was just long enough for Walter to express some of his feelings and then they were saved. Then everything with Happy in this episode was really great with her staying behind with the daughter and trying to understand why the daughter is the way she was. I especially loved the moment when Happy asks the daughter if she is working as a criminal because she wants to or if it is because it is the only life she knows because her father raised her in it. Then the ending of how they managed to stop the criminals from getting away was interesting where they used the fathers love for his daughter against him. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode to watch and see how everything turned out. 

Wisdom of the Crowd Season 1 Episode 9 "Proof of Concept" Review

Tanner receives an offer of new evidence in Mia’s case if Sophe can prove someone is innocent of murder; Tanner and Sara begin depositions with AllSourcer for the rights to Sara’s work and Sophe’s code.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that had a lot of really great moments to it. It was really interesting how they found all the clues leading to whether the person is a murderer or not. I don’t really care much for the way this show seems to be going because it really seems like they are using Sophe less and less with each episode and instead they seem to just keep stumbling upon the evidence they need. The whole episode was also written kind of weird with how much this potential murderer kept secret until it became a life or death kind of moment. Like the fact of her story where she stumbled upon her roommate already dead when she got home, even if I was drunk or high out of my mind I feel I would say that right away and not keep that part a secret. Then who the actual murderer was felt like a weird throwaway way to wrap the whole story up. The new evidence that Tanner received about Mia’s case was interesting because it did revile that there was more going on to Mia’s death than just a crime of passion. I did enjoy all the moments with the AllSourcer deposition and Sara share her story of how Sophe came to be. I also really enjoy the fact that AllSourcer doesn’t seem to mind playing dirty in order to get what they want and I’m excited to see where that might take the story in the future. And just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode to watch and see how everything turned out.

The Orville Season 1 Episode 9 "Cupid's Dagger" Review

While the crew attempts to mediate a peace treaty between two warring cultures, tensions rise between Ed and Kelly when a familiar face comes aboard.

This was a really fun and weird episode that had a lot of really interesting moments to it. I really enjoyed all the moments between Ed and Kelly and them struggling with their newfound relationship when they’re and joined by the person who originally tore them apart. And the whole sort of thing around this old acquaintance of theirs was interesting to see how it all turned out once the truth was revealed about what was going on that was causing several the crew members to act out of place. And I just really enjoy the moment where Ed went to the meeting to try and do the peace talks between the two warring cultures and he just wasn’t there because he was focused on other things than just that was really entertaining to watch. And then I also really enjoy the final moment when Kelly brought up that when she was cheating on Ed with this other guy and she wanted to know if he was in heat then so she would know if she didn’t actually have feelings for him or what was actually going on there and the fact that he didn’t answer that fully was really interesting. And then how they actually solve the problem of the two warring cultures was an interesting way to sort of wrap things up but I wish they would have done it better because once everything wore off they would be at war again probably because nothing on the planet was actually resolved. And I kind of wish that the artifact that was being examined was actually the cause of everyone acting weird and not the guy researching it so then the artifact would have played a more important role in this episode. And then the truth coming out of who this artifact actually belongs to I could easily see coming so it was entertaining to see that finally come true and the fact that the two cultures still had to share the planet by the end of all this. And just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode to watch.

American Horror Story: Cult Episode 10 "Charles (Manson) in Charge" Review

Kai begins to unravel as he starts to suspect a traitor in his ranks.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode to watch and see how everything turned out. I really like what they did with the ideas of Kai slowly going insane and how everyone dealt with that in their own ways. And I really like how Ally dealt with it with her sort of working with his hallucinations to stay on his good side and working with him when he had the idea that there is a mole amongst the ranks. But then Winter was sort of on the flip side where is she was trying to get Kai back into the right mindset and trying to distance herself from him to keep herself safe. And I just really enjoyed that whole conversation between Kai and Winter where they’re talking about how they’re always going to stay a family and Winter bring up that once the members of The Cult get what they want to leave him so he has to always remember that she will be the only one who truly sticks by his side. And just how all that turned out was really amazing to watch and see the twists and turns of that whole relationship. Then I really enjoyed all the ideas that they serve took from the Charles Manson Murders and how they sort of took all the ideas that he did in his murders were he was trying to get them to be blamed on other people that weren’t him, and Kai took those ideas and he’s doing with similar sort of way to try and commit a bunch of murderers and blame it the senator he’s running against. The ending of this episode was so great with it being revealed that there actually was a mole and that Kai wasn’t fully hallucinating and I’m just really curious to see how all that’s going to turn out now that Ally knows who the mole is. And just overall this was a really amazing and entertaining episode watch and I’m so excited to see what’s going to happen in the season finale.
