The Flash Season 4 Episode 16 Review

Hey guys! Sorry I was MIA last week but I was on spring break and because of that I wasn't able to watch the Flash on time which was super disappointing cause last week's episode of the Flash might have been one of my favorites from not only this season but possibly all of Flash in general! But we're not here to talk about last week's episode so let's jump into tonight's episode in which Iris gets to suit up!

So I thought this episode was going to be kinda lame and cheesy last week after watching the promo but I really loved how this episode went from a joke about switching powers to a real look at Iris's character. I have been complaining for almost two seasons about how Iris went from a well written character with actual storyline and goals and things to do to nothing more than Barry's love interest who is there to tell Barry to run faster or that she loves him. I had been annoyed that for two seasons Iris seemed to drop her whole reporting thing without even a single line given to the reason why and tonight answered all my questions. I loved that she explained it as a kind of fear of going out there after Savitar again and how the whole episode ended with her returning to reporting and her love of it. I'm still not sure why she's not back at the newspaper but maybe she'll build back up to it from her blog like in season 1.

I'm also glad that we got another bus meta this week that wasn't evil. It's ridiculous to me that out of a whole city of people, for the longest time, it was only Barry who wanted to use his powers for good. As the seasons go on there are more and more good metas but still nowhere near the amount of bad metas which production wise I can understand cause Barry needs a monster of the week to fight but it's always fun to see another hero being born. I liked that Eric didn't understand how his powers worked and that he didn't actually mean to hurt anyone and that he ended up joining the team. If they can keep his powers a secret from DeVoe for even the smallest amount of time, they could really suck the powers from DeVoe and win which now that I say it outloud probs will not happen cause that'd be too easy.

Harry built a Thinking Cap for himself like DeVoe did but without the dark matter so I guess it's some sort of tech that increases the speed at which neurons fire? I liked this idea but I still have a feeling that it's not going to end well. He did figure out who the last two metas are (through reasons?) so I guess we're ramping up. These last few episodes have been strange cause it feels like the show is trying to rush through the bus metas but at the same time dragging their feet. It's strange pacing tbh.

Also can we talk about how it made no sense for Caitlin to sit out this episode? Like I know Iris needed to go out on her own and prove to herself that she was strong too but it just seems silly not to bring a ice powered meta with you while you're fighting a fire meta. And it was weird cause when Iris was first about to go out she told Caitlin to follow her and take care of the fire while she rescued the people stuck inside only to go out by herself. I need the show to be better about why Caitlin and Cisco can't head out every time please.

Next week looks like another comedic episode with a bus meta possibly? She can fill people with helium and tbh that is such a lame power. The promo didn't show DeVoe but I'm assuming we'll see him even for a little bit cause it's been two episodes without him now.

I'll see you all Friday for my Agents of SHIELD review cause Arrow is taking off this week (and next) for reasons.

Agents of SHIELD Season 5 Episode 12 Review

Can you believe we made it to 100 episodes?? After everyone who said this show would be cancelled season after season, we're here! I was looking at the poster above and can you believe how much ground this show has covered in 5 seasons? Each season gets better and better and thinking back to our sweet summer childs in the pilot is crazy! We've loved and lost so many characters and the best parts of this episode were the emotional character beats rather than callbacks to previous seasons!

Okay let's start with the time dimension fear zone rift thing that opened up and was a pretty great way to bring back moments from previous seasons. Though I honestly would have loved for characters like Bobbi and Hunter and Robbie and Ward to come back, the small bits we got were fun. I guess it's okay cause we did see a lot of those characters come back repeatedly before but because I remember Arrow's 100th episode being full of guest stars, I guess my hopes were a bit too high in this case. I did like seeing Deathlock again and he saved the day! It was also funny to see Lash and HIVE as well as some Kree and the roaches.

Like I said the best parts of this episode were the character beats. That whole scene where the team found out that Coulson was dying actually made me cry. I wasn't too torn up when we first found out that Coulson was dying but seeing the reaction of the team to his impending death not even including the breakdown Daisy had in the hallway broke my heart. I was sobbing. Coulson is the one that binds this team together but honestly I could totally see the show killing him off this season especially if it's the last one we get. I loved that Daisy was the most heartbroken cause she is like a daughter to him but each of the characters had their own private grieving moment.

The scene with May was sad in a whole other way. May and Coulson are the epitome of what could have been. Both characters have loved each other for five seasons and even more though it wasn't always romantic love and I'm sure both thought that they would have plenty more time to explore their feelings in the future. I hope that if Coulson does die this season, they at least get a moment to express their love for one another or at least get a kiss that is real.

I hardcore didn't expect Jemma and Fitz to get married tonight but it fit so perfectly and I don't know why I didn't expect it! I loved their shotgun wedding and all the jokes about how they shouldn't wait one more day cause who knows what'll happen next. Jemma's vows were beautiful and Fitz though he didn't say much was clearly extremely emotional and overwhelmed and it was perfect the way it was. By the by Fitz's eyes were so blue and so beautiful that I couldn't look away!

Also I want to laugh at how we all called it that Deke turned out to be Fitz and Jemma's grandson and I'm dying. He was a little annoying tonight cause I know he's living his best life right now but boy needs to learn how to read a room! He was trying to flirt with Daisy while she's worried about YoYo and then joking with Coulson while Coulson is like dude I'm about to die can you go already and then interrupted Coulson and Fitz in what I assume would have been an emotional scene with his jokes. I enjoyed it all but it felt so out of place with the rest of the episode and I think maybe they should have saved all this for next week or something.

Next week looks like we'll be looking for a way to save Coulson's life which should be interesting. I hope we get some cute Jemma and Fitz moments cause they can't go on a honeymoon but that doesn't mean we shouldn't see them all cutesy for a moment. I also hope we get the reveal of Deke's family soon cause that's a bomb I want to see the fallout for!

I'll see you all Tuesday for my Flash review! Sorry I've been MIA most of this week but I was on spring break and didn't have time to watch the Arrowverse shows live!

Arrow Season 6 Episode 14 Review

I cannot with these two teams anymore. I just cannot. I'm sorry I tried to be unbiased, I tried to focus on how it's just a storyline that'll be resolved soon but I cannot anymore and I wonder after this episode if we'll even ever go back to the status quo. I want to say I enjoyed this episode but practically every single moment made me angry.

NTA keeps going on and on about how OTA broke their trust and spied on them and blah blah blah but ever since they split up, NTA is the only team I've been seeing that's made those same mistakes. I still can see both sides as to why the team split in the first place but after this episode, I'm squarely on Team Arrow's side and pretty much nothing NTA does from now on will make me want to forgive them. I can get past the constant whining from them about lack of trust but the fact that they keep blaming Oliver for Vince's death and then claim that he's so blind to the money that he'll believe anything Black Siren says is ridiculous. Dinah didn't want anything but revenge and the fact that they kept trying to say that they want to help the city too was ridiculous. I didn't see them finding the money for the city when they got Black Siren alone. It's because of them she got away and the city lost it's money. I am also furious with them for whining about bugs when they bugged Oliver themself and then hurt John on purpose with the implant which they didn't know but what if it actually hurt him permanently? I really thought Rene shot Felicity for a second and I was about to lose it.

Also sidebar on what planet did Curtis, Rene and Dinah think that they could beat Oliver? Like he trained them and they fought Earth X Oliver in the crossover and got their asses handed to them. Why blame him for fighting and winning when they were chomping at the bit to fight. Also another sidebar, Rene calling out Oliver by saying that William will realize he's nothing but a thug was waaaay out of line. No one's talking about Zoey!

Rene is being transferred to another hospital which I'm hoping beyond hope means that he's being written off the show. Curtis and Dinah can follow suit for all I care. I really didn't want Black Siren to be redeemed cause it made no sense to me to have her become good cause we already have a Black Canary and the third one on top of that (and the fact that Katie Cassidy plays a better villain) but now I don't even care. The end of the episode where she pretended to be Laurel was interesting. Is her plan to return to Star City and act like she's really Laurel? Dinah's there so I'm not sure why that would be a good idea. Also sidebar despite me constantly being like I don't want Black Siren redeemed, I was sitting there the whole end of the episode right there with Quentin hoping that she'd return the money.

For once I'm actually feeling like Diaz as a villain might actually pose a threat to Oliver cause not only does he have the police captain in his pocket but the lawyer who's trying to put Oliver in jail as well. I liked how he was like the case against Oliver is like quicksand cause that's what I've been saying all season. The FBI woman straight up was all bluff and then she handed off the case to the city quick as can be. I wonder if this means she was in Diaz's pocket as well or if she'll come back once this lawyer is exposed.

BY BABY ROY IS COMING BACK NEXT WEEK. And I really wish it was long term cause if this season has done anything, it's made me miss Roy to pieces and want him back on the team. I hope he's going to be around for more than one episode at the very least and bonus Thea is going to get back into her Speedy costume. I keep waiting for an actual reason the show gives us for why she won't suit up again. Her Lazarus Pit rage is gone so what's holding her back really? I just need Roy to show up and show NTA what a real Arrow team member looks like.

Gotham Season 4 Episode 12 Review

Gotham is finally back after such a long time off and it's kicking ass as always! So much happened in tonight's episode that I don't even know where to begin.

Let's start with the Ivy stuff. Ivy has been recast for the third time and I'm assuming that's cause the second actress couldn't make it back or had other work she was doing. I don't particularly mind cause this one seems to be more mature and I'm not sure if all those drugs are supposed to age her up but the second Ivy was really a child in a grown up's body but this Ivy seems to be mentally older as well based on what little we got of her tonight which could be super interesting. I'm also thrilled that Ivy 3.0 seems to have her Poison Ivy powers which by the by were horrifying to see close up on that dead guy's body. Something about seeing those plants growing on his dead body gave me goosebumps and I had to look away. Blood and gore is totally fine but this lol seems to be too much for me! It's been so long since we saw Ivy that I straight up forgot all her problems with the Sirens but I kind of like that she still loves Selina but I'm not sure how much I care to see Ivy ALSO want to rule Gotham. I feel like she wasn't really the take over the world kind of villain but it might be fun to see. I'm assuming that oil spill in the park will be on her line of sight no matter how quickly she changed the channel.

Speaking of Selina, I loved her thing with Bruce tonight though it was way too short for my taste. Drunk playboy Bruce is still giving my life but I can't tell if Bruce is actually drunk tonight or acting cause it seemed more like Bruce pretending to be a playboy again like he did early last season rather than Bruce actually being the playboy. Selina called him out for playing around too so I can see Bruce just acting. It was a little disappointing to see how exasperated Selina was with him cause it really seemed like she was over him being around and that's kind of sad cause I love them together and I didn't really want jealousy but I was hoping for a bit more of a passionate response. Maybe we'll see that in the future.

Speaking of disappointments, the show built up the suspense for Jim seeing Lee again but while it seemed like Jim was still into Lee, Lee seemed over him as well. It seems to be a theme that the ladies are moving onto bigger and better things while the men stay in the same place. I was also hoping for a bit more of an impact from their first meeting in a season but again I guess we'll build up to it. I did like how the Toymaker (RIP Toymaker you were gone too fast) was working on Riddler's orders but Nygma had no idea cause he's going through blackouts again. Lee and Jim discussing Nygma right in front of Nygma killed me too. I do also love the idea of Lee fixing the Narrows cause she's a badass.

I was not a huge fan of the Alfred storyline but I guess he needed something to do while he's away from Bruce. His bond with the waitress was a little out of nowhere but how pissed he got about her being abused and killed made complete sense and I love how he ended up with Bullock who saved his ass in the end. I missed Bullock too though I feel like he was a pain in my ass last season. It's been long enough that I'm just thrilled to see him again. What do we think? He'll be back on the force by the end of the season?

Next week's episode looks like Ivy will be attacking Bruce (for the park probably) and he'll be going on some sort of mental/emotional journey with Ivy's poison I'd say and the return of Jerome who we saw at the midseason finale but didn't appear this week (not that I noticed oops.) I wasn't too saddened we didn't see any of Jerome but Penguin was missed so I can't wait to see what happens next week!

Don't forget to check out my Arrow review later tonight!

The Flash Season 4 Episode 14 Review

The Olympics are over and the Arrowverse is finally back so let's dive into tonight's episode!

I did enjoy the episode overall but it did bring back the one thing I dislike about The Flash and that's douchebag Barry. I was really hoping we'd seen the end of that Barry last season but it seems every time something doesn't go Barry's way, he reverts and it's kind of funny but I never noticed it until tonight but the way he reverts is similar to Harry and how Harry throws a tantrum every time he makes a mistake. I wonder if it's supposed to be a parallel.... Anyway Barry managed to treat Izzy as an object all episode and still ended up losing. I do feel bad for him in that he didn't get his job back which kind of didn't make sense but also did cause normally I'd be all who cares about conspiracy theories but the fact that it's true kind of diminishes how irritated I'd be and left me mostly amused by the situation.

Izzy was super fun and I'm really sad we lost her. Every time I end up liking one of the bus metas, they get killed off and tonight's episode brought up a problem I've noticed but ignored. If DeVoe wants all the bus metas, why is he not taking Ralph? He's had multiple opportunities and the fact that he can create some sort of weird prison around a person to prevent them from leaving should make it really easy. Like I know the real reason is cause Ralph is a main character this season and the show can't kill him yet but I would like an in show reason for why the DeVoes are waiting.

Speaking of, DeVoe is getting more and more insane as the weeks pass by and it makes me wonder if his wife's theory that all this jumping around from body to body is actually hurting his brain function is true cause it would make sense. Before he jumped bodies the first time, DeVoe seemed more rational and grey while now he's leaning more towards insane villain. It would have been a fun twist if somehow DeVoe was actually good and he was doing something that Barry didn't know but unfortunately even if that was the case it seems now DeVoe is just another villain which does lead to the question that we still haven't answered and that's what does DeVoe want? If he gets all the bus metas, then what? Will his brain deterioration stop? Will he take over the world? What's the endgame?

Harry and Cecile were amazing tonight and I loved how completely awkward Harry was every time he talked to Cecile but that she ended up loosening him up cause she's such a cinnamon roll that you can't help but love her. Cecile is a gift and I'm so glad she's on this show now. It was weird that we didn't see Joe all episode and without an explanation either... I guess we're also going to be seeing Jessie soon cause it seems like Harry is going to call her here soon and I really hope this disservice they did to her character will be fixed cause they made Jessie into this awful person who breaks up with her boyfriend over the phone basically and without any warning and kicks her dad out of his house/work for reasons that we don't know.

Ralph is continuing to not be the worst and hats off to whoever is writing his script now cause I no longer want to gag every time he's on screen. Cisco and Caitlin didn't do too much this episode though Cisco was holding his head at the end of the episode when Barry was telling him to hurry up figure out where DeVoe was so it made me wonder if maybe he got hurt when DeVoe pushed him out of his vibe.

Next week looks super cool and I can't wait to check it out! It's such an exciting and really unique idea for an episode and I can't wait to see what happens. I think Jessie Quick and Jay Garrick are coming back for that episode so that's fun too.

I'll see you all Thursday for my Arrow review and my Gotham midseason premiere review!

Arrow Season 6 Episode 13 Review

Omg who else called the big plot twist in tonight's episode??? Who else loved how the episode played out??

I had a feeling after last week's episode that Cayden wasn't our real Big Bad this season and that he was only a stepping stone to the real one cause there's no way that after he played a season finale move so early on that the team wouldn't capture him in the near future. After the reveal that someone on Cayden's team actually framed Oliver, I had a suspicion it was Diaz cause his comic book character was way too big to be nothing more than a henchman and it was proven true tonight. I hope this means that we'll get more of the martial arts badass from the comics and that we'll get more of an explanation about not only why Star City but also why this plan and why Cayden's son. Like wouldn't a city without a vigilante guarding it be easier to take over? And why use Cayden as a middle man? Why not just go straight for Oliver? I guess it could be that he thought that using Cayden would distract Oliver and co enough for him to make his move secretly.

Also I'm sorry but Cayden was also proved to be a thundering dumbass in tonight's episode and I'm not sure how much I liked parts of it. I did like that Diaz played him like a fiddle cause like Diaz said, Cayden thought he was the smartest man in the room and he refused to see people as more than one thing so it would make sense that he wouldn't even suspect Diaz as being anything more than muscle. I did not like however the whole Oliver being framed video cause I still can't get past the fact that Felicity and Alena knew right away it was faked but Cayden who's supposed to be this genius hacker didn't even put any research into the video? How hard would it be to look up where Oliver was or to look at the data file to see it was edited? I guess they could claim that Cayden was so distraught that he didn't care. I wasn't surprised that he ended up dead cause I saw that coming.

Anatoli is probs going to go back to Russia for now and I think he probs won't pop back up this season. I do want Anatoli as a Big Bad at some point but he'd work later on I think or maybe he's best as a recurring villain who comes to fuck shit up and then peaces out.

Oh Black Siren. I really don't know what to do with you. And did anyone else get a really creepy vibe from Quentin at the end of the episode? Like a serial killer vibe? I know you're not my Laurel but I'm going to make you be her. Shivers down my spine. I think it had to do with how the camera was positioned but if this is where we're going, I will be thrilled cause I think it would be a super interesting story (you know how little I care about Black Siren being redeemed) for Quentin and that maybe Dinah will be the one in the end to snap him out of it cause that would be poetic justice.

Speaking of Dinah, I can understand why she's so upset but that doesn't mean that I sided with her tonight. She was a bit off the rails and to be honest I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired of NTA blaming Oliver for everything. Oliver legitimately had nothing to do with Vince's death and if he had been there, who's to say that Vince wouldn't have died the exact same way? Also Rene, Oliver being there had nothing to do with why the plan was shot to dust. I need them to get the fuck out now cause I'm over NTA and their screen time and this whole storyline. I tried so hard but I just can't anymore. Oliver needs to call back his old people and let NTA do whatever the hell they want out there on their own.

William also acted like an idiot tonight when he followed Oliver into the theater where the whole thing with Cayden was happening. I knew he was going to do something terrible since he appeared in the episode but I wasn't expecting him to be this dumb! Like I get that he was scared but I never understand in tv shows and movies when someone follows the hero or whatever to help when they don't know how to fight or are told to stay back cause dudes you always end up being a liability cause the hero has to drop everything to save your ass instead of focusing on what you have to. William needs to be grounded for life after that stunt though I can really see William becoming a sidekick after tonight cause despite what Oliver will want, I can see William being like if you want to be a hero, I want to be one too so I can be by your side always. For a moment I did wonder if William might actually be killed tonight but then decided nah the show wouldn't want to make Oliver spiral like that again would they?

The next episode isn't until March unfortunately but it looks like it will be a head to head battle between OTA and NTA and honestly I hope OTA kicks their asses and as much as I would love for the episode to end with NTA disappearing from the show, I don't think the newbies are going anywhere anytime soon cause without them Oliver won't have a full time team anymore. I don't particularly understand why Arrow needs to be a team show like Legends but that's clearly what the showrunners want so...

I'll see you all Monday for my Legends of Tomorrow review!

The Flash Season 4 Episode 13 Review

Wow. I have no words for tonight's episode of the Flash. It had an awesome throw your hands up in the air moment and a holy shit I can't believe that happened all in the same episode which really shows how great the episode was. Also Wally was in the intro and man do I miss him.

So let's start with the metahuman stuff. Wolfe wanted to sell the metas with Amunet and get half the profit but Barry managed to do some crazy stuff and get everyone out. To be honest I'm not sure why Barry bothered to help the others except for Becky cause it would have been exactly like what Wolfe told the bus metas later in the episode. They would escape, cause some crime and then Flash would put them back in prison so the best option might have been to escape himself and then find proof that this was happening by outing Wolfe. I was also glad that they showed that Becky really wasn't a bad person cause she used her powers by mistake at first and then slowly didn't realize how bad they were so spending time in jail allowed her realize what she did wrong. Her standing up for Barry and being all precious was amazing.

I was really shocked that DeVoe ended up killing all of them including Wolfe and I wonder why he decided that he wanted Becky's body for multiple reasons. If he could just absorb the lifespan and powers of the bus metas, why bother hopping bodies at all? Does DeVoe need to hop bodies cause they all start to break down as he stays in them? I also wonder if maybe the reason he's targeting bus metas over all metas is that the specific type of dark matter that came out with Barry actually negates the effects of the particle accelerator dark matter. Also how is it fair that he gets to keep all the powers he sucks from the metas? That's straight up just cheating.

Did anyone else get a weird vibe from DeVoe tonight? His wife definitely thinks DeVoe has moved from superpowered person "trying to do good" to possible supervillain out for himself. He was sketchy from the first moment we saw him talk down to his wife when she had a simple question and then he got kind of upset that she wouldn't let him read her mind anymore. The love drug in her champagne was the worst though and now I'm just waiting for the episode where she turns on him and goes to help Team Flash.

Speaking of Team Flash, Ralph had some great moments this episode. Now that he's not being douchey every five seconds I'm warming up to him. I actually felt bad for him in that scene with that sketchy guy and when Ralph felt like he was going to let down the team and cause everyone to leave him again. I'm not sure we needed a Killer Frost pep talk scene but I liked the point of it. I also loved the new power Ralph got in that he can shapeshift. I was wondering if that would happen on the show cause I know Plastic Man has that power in the comics. When he pretended to be DeVoe and got Barry free from jail, I actually cheered out loud and that was my fist-pump moment of the episode. Talk about being unpredictable Team Flash! DeVoe and his wife were blindsided.

Sidebar this does lead to questions about Barry's morality. Like speeding away from the body when DeVoe was found in his apartment, lying on the stand and escaping from jail is wrong but pretending to be the dead person and lying to a judge is okay? Okay I'll go with it.

Next week looks like we find another bus meta and we didn't get a name but I wonder if she'll be Ralph's love interest based on the preview. It looks like a fun time so I can't wait!

Tune into my Arrow review Thursday night!

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 13 Review

Okay I really want to give a slow clap to the writers of tonight's episode of Supergirl. There was so much that I was impressed with writing wise and so many great moments in this episode.

Let's start with the Julia/Purity stuff which was interesting because not only did it lead to our heroes realizing that the World Killers basically have two personalities but also told us the audience that it is possible to bring the human side out. It's interesting to me that the personalities the World Killers have are such good people. The way Purity explained Julia was that she needed a character to play so that she could hide until activated but it made me wonder how in control are the World Killers before they're activated and why couldn't they be activated the whole time but hide? Why is there another whole personality instead of being like a sleeper agent? This leads me to wonder if there's a way to permanently subdue the World Killer which is where I think this season is going especially given the final scene with Lena and Sam.

Speaking of Sam and Lena, Lena decided to step back into LCorp after last week and sent Sam home claiming that it was because she felt that Sam needed some time off to rest which lead to more annoying Ruby scenes which were my only real negatives with this episode. I keep waiting for the scene where Ruby finds out that her mom is Reign cause I definitely think Ruby in danger is going to be Reign's trigger to become Sam again at the end of this season. Lena kind of knows I think but I don't know if she's going to connect the dots. I'd like to imagine she will cause she's so smart and I'd love it if this storyline went to Lena figuring out a way to subdue the World Killer personality permanently in a very Luthor fashion. Maybe Caitlin needs this special cure too.

Back to Kara and Alex, Alex was all about threatening Purity into submission and to be honest she was a bit terrifying when she was trying to scare Purity so much so that I kind of would like to see more of this in the future. It's kind of always been a characteristic of Alex to toe the line whenever her family is in danger and I'd love to see the consequences if she actually did step over the line at some point. On the other hand Kara's hope while nice to see was a bit much for me personally but I can understand why Kara as a character would believe what she says. I also really liked that this whole was less about Purity/Julia and more about Alex still missing Maggie. I do love that they didn't just brush past this breakup like most shows do but I think it's about time Alex got a new love interest cause Alex deserves love!

The boys finally had something to do tonight when they went to try to fix the Legion ship. So first of all, I seriously miss Brainiac 5. I understand why he can't be in all the episodes but this episode literally felt so incomplete without him cause the team was trying to fix the ship and he would be such a major help in that case. The characters mentioned him but it would have been nice to drop a quick line explaining his absence. I did love seeing Winn gush about cars and fix the problem in the end cause I've missed having him do anything other than crack a few jokes in the DEO.

My favorite scene of this episode though has to be the one between J'onn and Mon El. Remember when I talked about excellent writing in tonight's episode? Here it was. As you know I was stressing for a while about how in the world the show was going to bring Kara and Mon El back together (cause they are endgame no ifs, ands, or, buts) without killing off Imra or making this whole thing about cheating which I despise especially since Imra was such an awesome character. Mon El was so mature about his feelings and what's going on in this scene that I believed what was happening and I felt for him. By explaining the marriage as a sort of arranged one, it does make Mon El look like less of an ass and by explaining that his love for Kara is so encompassing that it makes his love for Imra less real, Mon El and Imra can break up without anyone looking worse for the wear. I also loved the final scene with them where they acted like adults and discussed their feelings cause I'm always down for when characters are honest. I can't wait to find out what this secret Imra and Brainiac 5 are keeping from Mon El though I'd assume it has something to do with Kara dying so the Legion decided to step in.

Sidebar can we give props to how much Mon El has matured this episode let alone this season? He is a much better fighter and teammate while also being a much more honest significant other. He knows that he was an ass when he first arrived on Earth and he knows how much he's grown now. The Mon El of last season would have struggled to be honest with Imra about his feelings for Kara and he wouldn't have tried to help the people escape from the subway like he did. I loved the old Mon El for the potential I could see in him and I love the one we have now.

I didn't get to see the promo for the next episode of Supergirl though I do know we won't be back until Legends airs it's finale probably in April/May which is annoying cause I feel like this season has just ramped up. I really want to know what this Legion secret is!

Anyway I'll see you all tomorrow for my Flash review!

Agents of SHIELD Season 5 Episode 10 Review

Ahh I can't believe that we finally finished this space arc and now we have to wait a whole month to find out what happens next!!! Honestly I'm just glad we're going back to Earth cause I was getting tired of the future.

Plot twist we still have no fucking clue what destroyed the world or what SHIELD is not supposed to do. Sorry for cursing but I've had it up to here with this storyline. EVERYONE KEEPS SAYING THEY ARE STUCK IN A LOOP AND THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING BUT NO ONE WILL SAY WHAT HAPPENED. Like straight up future YoYo (who by the way I totally called as being Kasius's seer) spent like ten minutes moaning about how things won't change and not once did she say what actually destroyed the world and what they should do to stop it. How freaking hard is it to say X happened and we did Y so Z occured. Jesus. We did get a small piece of new information and that is that Coulson is dying and apparently SHIELD tries to save him but that leads to the end of the world and I'm sitting here like the actual hell does that mean? I guess at least we know what Ghost Rider told Robbie who told Coulson at the end of last season.

Man I miss Robbie. I wish he'd come back though I know he probably never will.

Mack, Flint, Fitz and Simmons spent the episode trying to build the monolith and I was laughing at how nice it was that Kasius stored the pieces of the monolith right in his common room. Flint was super badass tonight though when he destroyed all those Kree from space. That was an amazing shot and I can totally see where all the CGI budget went. I was also surprised that neither Flint or Deke ended up going back with us cause I really did expect them too! Talking about more surprises, I was thrown that we didn't get a Deke/Daisy kiss either cause it really felt like they might (with May and Coulson watching in amusement) but ultimately I'm glad they didn't though Deke ended up dying anyway. I loved the way it happened though cause it was super badass and Deke's arc went full circle in him starting out only caring for himself but ending up sacrificing his life for the team. I'll miss you Deke. You really grew on me.

Another death was Kasius's and boy was it past time. Actually pretty much all the Kree died tonight which was hilarious cause apparently the only thing keeping them in power was the fact that the humans had nothing to kill them with. Kasius literally could not have ended being more despicable to be honest and by the time he murdered future YoYo and then beat Mack to a pulp, I was foaming with hatred and I'm so glad that Jemma forced that mind rape thing into his so he could experience being a slave for a few moments before Mack killed it. Man was it satisfying.

Oh but we did also learn something about Kasius's dad which I don't know if I understood correctly. It seems as though he wanted to rule over Earth but by the time he got there the Earth was already destroyed. Or maybe he wanted to rule but they destroyed the Earth to prevent him. I'm not entirely sure. Either way I feel like it's pretty likely that we'll see Kasius's dad in the future and maybe past Kasius too.

Sidebar something happened with Fitz and Simmons that I think will affect them going forward. Jemma had a weird reaction to Fitz killing those Kree with that wire like she was stunned he would attempt something so inhumane. I was sitting here like damn Fitz that was badass and neither Flint nor Mack who's literally the moral compass of the team cared so it was interesting that Jemma had a problem especially since a scene later it was her idea to suck the Kree out of the Lighthouse into space when Flint destroyed the window with his rocks. I'm not sure that's any better but I guess it'll go back to Fitz in the Framework and possibly Jemma worrying that Fitz is too different now or something. I hope whatever it is it doesn't end with Jemma and Fitz breaking up cause I don't have the time for that drama. I have to deal with enough of the dumb relationship drama in my Arrowverse shows, leave it out of here please.

We're back on Earth when we return in a month and I can't wait to see what's going on. I wonder if we'll get a time jump as in time moved normally as SHIELD was in the future or if it'll be a bigger time jump like the Monolith moved them forward in time or if we'll come back right as they left or maybe whenever Fitz left. I also wonder if we'll get a Black Panther tie in depending on how that movie goes. I can't wait!!

I'll see you all Monday for my Supergirl review!

Arrow Season 6 Episode 12 Review

I really enjoyed tonight's episode of Arrow and even though I still think last week's episode was better, this week's episode left me with a ton of questions and a bunch of feels!

Let's start with Vincent cause he was the biggest part of this episode. I cannot believe he's dead! Last week I was so confused as to which side he was on cause as much as I wanted to believe in him, it was sketchy and I wasn't sure if he was playing a game with Cayden or not and I still was unsure this week until pretty much the end. I really thought for a second that he purposefully turned on his comm so that the team could be split again and then I thought it was weird that he didn't break out of his confinement earlier cause clearly it was really easy five seconds later. As soon as Anatoli left the room, Vincent should have been out of there. I was really surprised that he died tonight cause I was really enjoying him and his relationship with Dinah and I thought there was so much more that we could have gotten out of this which was the real shame. I still wish we could have gotten an explanation as to how Vincent's powers worked. I thought he could heal pretty much anything but I guess unlike Wolverine, he has a limit to how much of that healing power he can use? Also boy rip yourself off that pole. I know it'll hurt but it'll be better in the long run!

Sidebar, I want to give all the props to Julianna for her acting tonight cause it actually made me tear up when she cried for Vincent to wake up. Ugh and then her final scene with Oliver gave me chills!

I also enjoyed the flashbacks with Vincent and Dinah cause I love when the shows remind us that the Arrowverse is in one universe. It was so fun to see Captain Singh and the CCPD for a few minutes. I do wish we had seen a little bit more of the two of them undercover but I understand that time was limited.

On the other hand, I'm still not enjoying this two team thing and how every single week we need to hear over and over and over that Rene, Dinah and Curtis are not okay with Oliver and how they don't want to be one team and blah blah blah. Guys we ALL get it. The more they harp on it, the more they just sound like whiny babies. I do however think they made the right call in splitting the teams up into saving Vincent and finding the bombs. I can see both sides and though ultimately I'd like to say that the city is more important than one person, if that one person is someone you love, it's not so easy to turn away from them. Like Dinah said if it was Felicity or Lyla, Oliver and Diggle would make the exact same call.

Like I said I want to be mad that our team lost the bomb to Cayden's crew because they were low on manpower but I can't cause this was just a case of Cayden being really smart and playing our people. The only way to fix this is for Oliver to call in more people to be honest. Thea NEEDS to suit up and I know Roy is coming back soonish but also they should maybe look for Ragman or Nyssa or Slade. The more the merrier cause the bad guys just so vastly outnumber us.

On the note of Cayden, we finally were able to figure out what the evidence was that showed Oliver killing Cayden's son and honestly it seems really sketchy to me that someone as smart as Cayden would fall for something like this if it's so clearly obvious that it's not real. Like not only can Cayden hack into cameras and stuff to know that Oliver was in Hub City during the murder of his son but also (and much easier) if Felicity and Alana can tell that the footage was doctored, why couldn't Cayden?? This is the man that knew ARGUS was coming into the city (even though I call bull on that cause how the hell would he have known.) We also learned that the same person who leaked the footage of Oliver being the Green Arrow did this and if I remember correctly, Anatoli said he didn't do it so if it wasn't him or Vigilante or Cayden, by process of elimination it has to be Richard Dragon no? I don't think Black Siren has any hacking experience so I don't know if I'd believe it was her but at the same time Dragon didn't know or care about Oliver a year ago so maybe it was Anatoli and he just lied before? I would have liked it to have been Prometheus as a final middle finger to Oliver and that's what I thought it was until we were told Cayden has another traitor in his midst.

Oh I almost forgot about the Quentin, Thea and Black Siren thing. As I said before I really don't like this cause it really feels as though Quentin is trying to replace Laurel with Black Siren and I said over and over that just cause they look alike doesn't mean that they're the same person. I do still think the show will redeem Black Siren (even after killing Vincent) so I just have to bite the bullet. It was really sweet what Quentin did with showing Black Siren a bunch of memories of Laurel and their family.

Next week looks like Dinah will be going off the rails and on a murder spree and I'm pumped cause I love with Dinah and Black Siren face off. I also assume that we'll finally be able to get the bomb off the streets cause I'm definitely feeling like Cayden isn't the Big Bad this season after tonight's episode. Someone is pulling Cayden's strings and I can't wait to find out who that is. (How fun would it be if it was Joey Wilson?)

Tune in tomorrow for my Agents of SHIELD review!
