Supergirl Season 4 Episode 4 "Ahimsa" Review

Alex asks Lena and Brainiac to team up and help Supergirl; J'onn discovers new ways to help his fellow aliens after running into Manchester Black.

This was a really interesting episode that was a little confusing in its plot but it was still a really cool episode for all of what happened. Everything with Alex in this episode was interesting with her being under a lot of because of the kryptonite being in the atmosphere because of the device was stolen from the DEO. One part that bugged me was with Supergirl and how she refused to listen to Alex even after Alex explained some of the situations to Kara and yet after all that Kara didn’t listen and almost destroyed the suite and got herself killed. But it was also weird how Alex didn’t explain everything when telling Supergirl to stand down she could have said things like the “president and all these other people are telling me to tell you to relax and if you don’t I’ll get in trouble,” that would have made more sense in my mind. Instead, Alex goes and tells Supergirl to relax because she feels it is the best action, that is just less impactful and made it easy for Kara to not listen, and that kind of bugged me. It was interesting to see how Kara chose to fight in the suite because she really couldn’t use her powers besides flight and strength. Then everything with J'onn and Manchester was great with them working together to find there friend and how that all worked out was interesting and I’m really curious to see what Manchester will do next to get what he wants. Then the moments with Lena and Brainiac was fun with them working to get the kryptonite out of the atmosphere and seeing how each of them handles things was interesting. The other major part that bugged me was the Children of Liberty’s plan to make people more afraid. Where there plan involved creating alien attacks, in my mind how does that make sense because alien attacks happen a lot so why would these certain attacks make any difference for people. It was interesting to see what happened when James chose to step up and be Guardian again where he didn’t get in trouble for it but he was also praised by the anti-alien groups. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and interesting episode to watch. 

American Horror Story Apocalypse Episode 8 "Sojourn" Review

Michael grows desperate when his warlock allies are slaughtered and enlists the help of unlikely allies in his quest to start the apocalypse.

This was a really interesting episode that was a little slow in how its plot was shown but also it was a nice episode to show more on how Michael ended the world. I really loved the opening scenes where Michael discovers that his allies are dead and the whole confutation between him and Cordelia was so interesting. Then the moments of Michael in the woods was interesting with what he hallucinated and I'm curious to fully know what all the different hallucinations meant. Then the Satanist was really weird with how dedicated they were to Michael even when they just met him. I did enjoy the jokes surrounding what the Satanist thought of as true evil vs what actually is. Then the introduction of Jeff and Mutt was interesting with how they helped Michael and created a new and better Ms. Mead. Then just overall this was a really weird episode that was a little slow and boring but I'm really excited to see what will happen in the next episode now that Michael is gearing up to end the world.  

Midnight Texas Season 2 Episode 2 "The Monster of the Week Is Patriarchy" Review

Manfred investigates a gruesome murder in the hotel; Lem and Olivia's psychic connection drives a wedge between them; Bobo's life is put in danger.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that continued to do a good job of getting into the motions of what makes Midnight. Everything with Manfred and the hotel was interesting with him working to figure out what these murderous ghosts want and what he can do to free them. I really loved the moment where Manfred has both of the ghosts inside him explaining their sides of the story of what lead to there deaths and why are they angry. Then everything with Lem and Olivia was interesting with this eager girl wanting to become a vampire and finding a way to make that happen by tricking Lem. Then just the whole hunt down moment with Lem and Olivia was great with how it was all shown and done with Lem having to use the little information he gathered to find where the girl might go next. Then the discovery that Kai can remove supernatural forces from people makes me really curious to see who might choose to be human again and who might fight against Kai because of what he can do. Then the moments with Fiji and Bobo were okay with them slowly discovering that something is going on but it kind of felt unimportant for the grander scheme of what is going on. Then just overall this was a really fun episode and I'm curious to see what will happen next.    

Legends of Tomorrow Season 4 Episode 2 "Witch Hunt" Review

When the magical Time Seismograph goes off, the team finds themselves headed to the Salem witch trials. Sara notices that Zari is taking the case personally when she promises to save a mom, who is being accused of being a witch. However, the team quickly learns that there is a magical creature in the town creating problems they hadn't been expecting. Meanwhile, Nate and Ava work together to try to keep their Time Bureau funding by proving to them that magic exists.

This was a really interesting and fun episode that had an entertaining story to it. Everything around the witch hunting was really interesting with them bringing up Jane Hawthorne and what happened to her and the legends have to decide whether they should interfere with this major event. I do wish they would have gone into more detail on what happened to Salem afterward because they somewhat proved the existence of magic and let Jane go so Salem didn't burn down so what effects did those changed have on Salem or did nothing change. Then the introduction of the fairy godmother was really great with the rules they set up when John couldn't just ban her to hell without banishing the girl the fairy godmother is connected to as well. So how they managed to get Prudence to reject her fairy godmother and fix the mistakes she made was all interesting. Then the conversation between John and the fairy godmother was really exciting where the godmother refused to work for John and said that hell would be better than fight what is coming for John, and that makes me really excited to know what it is that is coming for John. Then the moments with Nate and Ava working to prove that magic exists to Nate's father were so much fun with how they used Ray to do so and how the relationship between Nate and his father grew because of this discovery of what Nate does. I really do hope that Nate doesn't leave the team to join the bureau because he is one of my more favorite characters so I don't want him to disappear into more of a side character. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next.  

The Flash Season 5 Episode 4 "News Flash" Review

Barry and Iris face the ultimate parenting test when Team Flash battles Spin, a savvy millennial armed with meta tech, and a dangerous agenda for their daughter, Nora. Ralph is feeling defeated until unlikely source issues a challenge to help boost his confidence.

This was a really interesting and fun episode that I really enjoyed how it introduced a new kind of meta-human. Everything around Spencer was really great with her using her meta-human phone to help boost her popularity by making the new happen based on what she wrote and hypnotizing people into making the events happen. It was really interesting on how Spencer put a heavy focus on boosting up XS and how she did it by tearing down The Flash. I just didn't get how she thought it would be good to have XS kill The Flash, how would her story make it seem like XS is the hero. Then the big reveal of why Nora doesn't like Iris was a big surprise and really interesting where Iris chose to hide Nora's powers her whole life. Now I'm just really curious to know what happened six months ago in Nora's life that caused her to discover her hidden powers. Then the discoveries with Cicada were interesting with Ralph looking into the masks and Sherloque finding out that Cicada has a bad lung due to the satellite explosion. And it was really great how the two of them just barely missed Cicada when they went to ask some questions. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and great episode that had an interesting story to it.

New Amsterdam Season 1 Episode 6 "Anthropocene" Review

The pressure is on as Max takes on his first annual fundraising gala at the hospital and emotions are high as some of the doctor's families join them for the event. Iggy struggles to break difficult news to his daughter and Bloom and Reynolds continue to deal with the fallout of their argument. Meanwhile, Kapoor and Dr. Sharpe work together to find out what is making a father and son duo so sick.

This was a really interesting episode that didn't have a lot to it, it was mostly about just a lot of small moments playing out simultaneously. Everything with Max was nice with how his work was somewhat of divided in this episode. When it came to the fundraiser it was weird how they chose to make Max's secret weapon a mystery when it was easily Georgia, it was nice to see how Georgia did her work to help Max though where she showed him off to donors by stating how instead of being there talking to people Max is out there being a doctor. Then everything with Max and Reynolds was some of the better parts of this episode where they are dealing with cases at the prison where prisoners are being drugged to be more compliant. And how Reynolds found all this out and got evidence together to hold the right people responsible was really great rather than seeing him get into fights he didn't need to which was his first actions. Then Bloom setting up Reynolds with someone new was an interesting way for her to get over him and know that he won't be coming back for a while. Then Iggy dealing with his family was some nice small moments in this episode where he had to explain to his daughter that there normally is not the same normal for others and how that all works and that was just really interesting to see. Then the bigger side story with Kapoor and Sharpe was a very entertaining story with this father and son having this mysterious illness that no test can figure out. Then the truth of what this illness was and why it was hard to find was really interesting where it was an older version of a common illness that the machines couldn't pick up because the machines were so up to date with the newer stains they forgot the older ones. Then just overall this was a really nice episode with a bunch of small interesting stories.  

Magnum P.I. Season 1 Episode 6 "Death Is Only Temporary" Review

An aging tycoon asks Magnum to find his lost love, who supposedly died 30 years ago; Rick and TC meet an injured fellow vet who is having a hard time adjusting to civilian life.

This was a really great and entertaining episode that had so many fun moments and it was just really interesting to see how everything played out. Everything with the case was really interesting with how the tycoon got this message from a lost love and he hires Magnum to see whether this truly is the women or if it is just spam. Then how the actual people planned out to hide from the cameras and use just the right amount of information to prove themselves as this women was really great especially with how they stumbled upon this information on this women by finding her dead body. Then the actual murder of this women was interesting where she leaves but tried to get back in contact with the tycoon when she discovers she is pregnant but the friend of the tycoon drives her away because the tycoon just recently married the fiend's sister. And a course the murdered women and the friend get into a fight leading to an accident and she dies and the friend decided to cover it up and hide her body. Then how Higgins played into all this was nice with her being the support for the tycoon whenever his dementia started to act up. Then everything with Rick and TC was some really great moments where they were trying to befriend this other vet and the vet just wanted none of it and he thought no one would fully understand. And all the conversations between all of them was so interesting with them talking about how you never fully get over the trauma you just learn to work past it. Then what TC decided to do for the vet was a nice way to end their story where TC offered the vet a mechanic job similar to that the vet wanted before going to war. Then just overall this was a really great episode that had so many entertaining moments to it.
