The 100 Season 4 Episode 13 Review
Hey guys! As promised, I'm back with my The 100 finale review cause although I can't do a review of every episode, I sure as hell will try my best to do a premiere and finale review and so here I am! Like all the other shows I've watched this week, The 100 also had a great finale with another intense cliffhanger! Let's jump in!
So we barely saw the bunker tonight cause most of the episode was spent with the group that were trying to get to the Ark but we did get a very sweet conversation between Octavia and Bellamy which I was living for cause you know how much I love sibling relationships and how much I adore the Blake siblings. I loved that Bellamy convinced Octavia that she could lead and she mentioned how afraid she was to be underground again and how it paralleled her fear of being under the floorboards back in the Ark. Like Bellamy I believe in her and I'm sure she was an amazing commander these past 6 years.
Now to the others. So I loved and hated this episode so much because of all the anxiety I was feeling during the episode cause though I had no doubt that most of the group would survive, it still didn't stop me from fearing for their lives.
Raven finally got to spacewalk again, Murphy had his hero moment with Monty, Monty almost died, Echo contemplated suicide, Clarke sacrificed herself again and Bellamy made one of the hardest decisions of his life. It's never ending for this group and just once I'd like for them to get one moment to relax before shit goes insane again! Ugh remember how happy the 100 were in season 1? They deserve at least another episode like that after all that they've been through! I can't wait to see what everyone is like next season cause 6 years is a long time and plenty of relationships can change over that time. I also love the idea of Raven and Bellamy being the leaders of the group and it's kind of sad that we'll never get to see that.
The 6 year time jump was surprising cause I thought we'd at least get one episode next season before the time jump or maybe that we'd see a time lapse in the season 5 premiere. I had no doubt Clarke would survive cause hello she's the main character and also I figured the whole nightblood thing had to mean something. I love the idea of her surviving with one other nightblood and a child by the looks of it cause it would have hardcore sucked if she had to survive on her own cause people can go insane like that and I'll be interested to see Clarke interact with this child cause though Clarke has always cared for others, she's never been solely responsible for another life. Clarke is probably basically this child's mother.
I can't wait to see what's up with the prison ship thing that landed cause I'm sure that it's not our group or the doors would have opened and we would have seen Clarke see the group. It would be more impactful if the premiere actually showed us the group leaving the Ark and I'm sure the writers thought that. This leads to some confusion cause there was literally no one else in space except our group unless the show is trying to say that one of the Ark stations that were killed off early on in the history of the Ark (as in before we started on the Ark season 1) survived or that there was another group like Mt Weather on Earth that launched. I also don't really understand why it was a prison cause people on the Ark were floated not imprisoned so where did this prison come from?
I'm so looking forward to the return of The 100 next season but I'm pretty sure that it'll air midseason again like it did this season so we might have some time to wait which is unfortunate but I will be doing a premiere review so I'll see you all then!
Don't forget to check out my Top 9 ranking of finales that I've watched that will come out tomorrow!

Arrow Season 5 Episode 23 Review
WHAT THE HELL GUYS??? WHY IS EVERY ONE OF THESE DCTV FINALES SO INSANE AND CONFUSING AND WITH SUCH CRAZY CLIFFHANGERS??! After Flash and Supergirl I didn't think it could get more insane and then Arrow aired and though I knew in my heart of hearts that is was going to be my favorite finale (cause I'm biased towards this show cause it's the one that started it all for me), I still wasn't emotionally prepared for this crazy ending!
Let's start with Slade's return! So Slade is sane now and I freaking loved that cause it's such an interesting story to explore with him because before Mirakuru, Slade and Oliver were really good friends and I love the idea of Slade having to search himself and reconcile who he was under the influence of Mirakuru and who he is now. It also gives me hope (probably false hope cause Manu Bennett is busy filming a different show so he probs doesn't have the time) that maybe we'll get to explore him in the next season and maybe this means he'll be like Captain Cold or Cadmus in that he'll appear here and there and maybe he'll even be more like an antihero. In the comics Deathstroke is a mercenary so maybe we'll get some of that here. Also I totally didn't believe that he changed sides when he punched out Oliver cause it would have made no sense otherwise he would have changed sides when Captain Boomerang did and I assumed it was a fake-out which it was. I also loved his casual teasing of Oliver about marrying Nyssa and not Felicity.
Speaking of Felicity, who else died when she kissed Oliver cause she didn't want to regret anything between them in case one of them didn't make it? In my mind, they are officially back together (even though I had hopes after last week) because not only with that scene but with how much emphasis everyone else put on Felicity's relationship with Oliver. Not only did Oliver tell Felicity that'll they talk about them when they get off the island but Samantha brought it up with Felicity and Slade and Adrian brought it up with Oliver. I'm really liking the way Oliver and Felicity are being portrayed these last couple of episodes and has anyone else feeling a huge jump in their chemistry that wasn't there before?
Malcolm sacrificed himself to save Thea and the others which was kind of heartbreaking but also I'm not sure how much I believe that he died tbh... No body, no death in these comic book shows and I won't believe it until then. Plus we all thought Malcolm died in season 1 and he came back so... It was fun though that he took out Boomerang with him though who kinda sucks for switching sides although not as much as Evelyn who is still the worst for no good reason. At least Chase and Talia have logical reasons for hating Oliver but Evelyn literally hates Oliver but is cool with everything Chase has done? I hope she died in an explosion cause if we never see her again, it'll be too soon.
Nyssa was amazing and I loved every scene she was in and I was actually kind of surprised with how much we got from her. Her fight against Talia was great and I kind of hope they both comes back next season cause I was enjoying what we got from the two of them and I'd like to explore their relationship a bit more. Talia is the older one but left cause she knew Ra's would never let her to Heir to the Demon and Nyssa blames Talia for leaving her alone with her father. I still don't particularly understand why Talia was so pissed at Oliver for killing Ra's when she clearly had a terrible relationship with him and if she grew up with the League, she should know that he was going to die at some point to allow the next Head to grow. Also how epic was that show when Talia's League went to attack but then Slade jumped in and killed (?) them all??
I was so sure that after last week and the soft side that Earth 2 Laurel showed with Quentin would lead to Black Siren changing sides so I kept waiting for it but I'm ultimately glad they didn't go that way. Not only was it extremely satisfying to see Black Siren and Black Canary fight (I will never be over how much I love the Canary Cry) but seeing Quentin punch out Earth 2 Laurel was strangely fascinating. I'm also glad cause I feel like Katie Cassidy does a better villain than a hero (might be cause I know her as the villain on Gossip Girl) but if Black Siren joined Team Arrow, then there'd be two Canaries and I wouldn't understand the point of bringing Dinah onto the show cause we have Earth 2 Laurel. Also can we take a moment to acknowledge how my heart melted when Quentin called Dinah the Black Canary? I still think Black Siren's arc next season will be to turn good though cause I just can't see her staying evil when Quentin is around.
The flashbacks were the least interesting part of this episode cause I kept thinking go back to the interesting part in present day. We all know how the flashbacks end so why take so long to get to Oliver killing Kovar. I did love the editing during the big fight scene in the temple and Oliver v Adrian and how it paralleled Oliver fighting Kovar and his men.
Now let's talk about that ending. Adrian somehow rigged the entire island with explosives (which by the way must have taken the full year to set up) and also somehow rigged the trigger to go off when he died. Adrian's plan was pretty damn epic though if I do say so myself. A choice between William or everyone else that Oliver loves. Well played Adrian. When he killed himself and then the island exploded, I was gaping at the screen in shock and was stunned when the episode ended there on such a huge cliffhanger. Despite how amazing that shot was and how my heart jumped in my chest, I'm not too worried because let's be honest, there's no way in hell that Arrow kills off it's entire cast especially when we know almost everyone is returning next season as series regulars just like how Mon El is coming back cause he's signed on as a series regular next season and how Barry isn't gone cause he's literally the main character. Maybe I could see them killing off Thea or Quentin or even Rene or Dinah but no chance in hell that Diggle and Felicity are killed. I would assume that somehow they were able to fix the plane or deactivate the bombs in their surrounding area cause Felicity and Curtis are geniuses and they were trying to turn them off earlier in the episode and Curtis figured out a way to fix the comms so why not the bombs!
Ugh I can't believe all three DCTV shows had such amazing finales! What a time to be alive guys! I can't wait until we return next season and I can't wait to see what happens!
I will be posting my top 10 ranking of the finales that aired this season as I usually do tomorrow and after that, keep an eye out for my posts about the top 9 episodes of the season for the shows I watch! Also don't forget to check out my The 100 Season 4 finale review!

The Flash Season 3 Episode 23 Review
What the actual hell did we just watch? I literally stared at my tv for a whole minute after tonight's finale ended so confused. It was definitely a good episode and there was a lot I loved but I can't stop thinking about the weird ending.....
So let's start with Iris's death! Like I predicted, Iris was alive and it was actually HR using his tech to make himself look like Iris. I was so glad that they really didn't kill her off and that HR finally got his big hero moment. I also loved that Iris was the one to kill Savitar in the end and save Barry cause I live for moments when Iris gets to actually do more than be Barry's love interest. I have been complaining about how this whole season that should have been about Iris spent so little time with Iris and so the fact that she solved the problem in the end made me unspeakably happy. I'm assuming she'll feel the guilt next season which yay cause it'll give her character something to do! I loved her speech about HR at his funeral and her writing Save the Date cards and I can't wait to see what happens with her next season.
HR died and it looks like Harry is back for next season which makes me very happy cause I never really liked HR and Harry was my favorite Wells. I hope this means now that Jay is also back that Jesse will return to this Earth cause not only is Wally on Earth 1 but now so is her dad.
I actually kind of hoped that the Savitar stuff would end with Barry reaching Evil Barry and making him good again cause it would be so different than everything else we've seen! Evil Barry asked Iris and Barry what would his future look like if he lived and so did they and they had no answer but I kind of wanted them to fix him and send him another Earth where that Earth's Barry might be dead and Iris is alone cause although the scenes in this episode between Evil Barry and Iris in Star Labs made me a bit uncomfortable (our Barry was casually just standing there watching Evil Barry look lovingly at Iris), Evil Barry was clearly still in love with Iris and I love that no matter what timeline or world they're in, Barry and Iris belong together so Evil Barry kind of deserves that too. That scene where Flash, Kid Flash and Jay Garrick Flash chased Savitar through the woods was so beautifully done and I lived for that shot when Savitar chopped those two trees down and the three speedsters moved around the trees in slow motion!!!
Killer Frost ended up exactly where I wanted her to be! My best case for her was for Caitlin to come back with ice powers and that's kind of what we got in that Killer Frost isn't exactly Caitlin but she's no longer evil and looking to kill everyone. She's just Frost now and I love that. I hope she returns next season and hopefully because of how she ended this season that her and Julian are no longer a thing. I shipped them for a hot second but it kind of fizzled for me. Ugh maybe I just want Ronnie back for her.
Now let's talk about this ending that has me confused. It seemed so much like the show was writing Barry off like in the comics when Barry died and Wally took over the Flash mantle (which I loved cause you know my Flash is Wally and not Barry) but this show has Barry as the main character and I doubt they'd go the comic book route and change who plays the Flash mid-series. Actually tbh I kept waiting for Wally to take Barry's place cause again he's the one who spends time in the speedforce learning the secrets of being a speedster. And at the same time, why spend so much time showing us that Barry and Iris are meant to be if Barry is gone. The only plausible scenario left is that the main focus of the next season or at least part of it is the team trying to figure out a way to get Barry back which honestly could be a ton of fun and as I think about it more, could be an excellent way to shake up the typical big bad of the season formula the DCTV shows have going for them afterall the showrunners have said there's no speedster villain in season 4.
I really enjoyed this finale and I have so many questions going forward which makes me excited for next season! Don't forget to tune into my Arrow finale review tomorrow night! If Supergirl and Flash are any indication, Arrow is going to be a doozy!

I really enjoyed this finale and I have so many questions going forward which makes me excited for next season! Don't forget to tune into my Arrow finale review tomorrow night! If Supergirl and Flash are any indication, Arrow is going to be a doozy!

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 22 Review
This finale was intense! It was emotional and crazy and fun and heartbreaking all in one and I can't wait until next season already!
So the stuff with Superman was explained pretty early on and I freaking loved that it was another version of kryptonite. I don't care if it's cheesy and a wave-away, give me all the weird kryptonite with their weird effects. Silver Kryptonite makes you see the one person you fear the most and for Superman that was Zodd. We knew he was coming on the show and I'm actually really really glad that he appeared in a hallucination cause I assumed Zodd would be a season 3 villain but we really didn't need another evil Kryptonian so it worked out. I also feel like though Kara and Clark are sharing villains, there are a few that Kara shouldn't touch aka Lex and Zodd.
Anyway, I loved the Supergirl/Superman fight across National City and the effects were amazing. Tyler Hoechlin is a joy especially when he plays Clark and says thing like gee and golly (I giggle every time) and Cat flirts with him. I enjoyed watching him back Kara and also admit that despite all his physical strength and power, he would not have the emotional power to pick the world over Lois which I completely believe. He is very much like Barry in this where Kara is more like Oliver. I loved his awkward staring at Mon El and Kara as they hugged and how he introduced himself. I wish we could get more of him as Kara's cousin if not Superman cause Kara literally lost the man she loved and she needs love and family and support.
The fight with Rhea started out a bit underwhelming but I loved that Rhea literally had kryptonite in her blood. Every time green kryptonite comes out, it makes me wonder every single time why Winn or the DEO hasn't made a Supergirl suit that's resistant to kryptonite yet cause that seems like a super important idea to me. Narratively it's probably cause without it, Supergirl and in extension Superman would be completely unstoppable. My heart soared though in that scene when Kara stopped Rhea's punch and fought to stand and the music swelled and I just cheered. I'm glad that Rhea's finally dead and that it was lead dust in the air that dealt the final blow (how freaking cool was that idea) and I expected her death tbh but I still need an explanation on why the Daxamites hated Mon El so much and why they didn't see him as King. Did Rhea have to die too before he could be King? Shouldn't there at least be a contingent of soldiers who support him and not Rhea or are we supposed to assume that all Daxamites are terrible horrible people except Mon El?
Speaking of Mon El, why is it that he gets the best character moments when he's about to die? I knew that he was going to be sent off to the Phantom Zone since I found out who he was but I hoped that it wouldn't be true cause I loved his character and Chris Wood. He was so strong and powerful and could finally kick butt on the streets tonight but I'm so sad that he never got a costume. I thought maybe before his final send off he'd get something.... The dream scene where Kara and Mon El were in bed together made my heart melt but also filled me with all kinds of anxiety cause it was all the foreshadowing and the scene where Kara and Mon El said goodbye made me cry. I did love them together and I do not believe this is the end of Mon El. Kara loves him and she gave Mon El her mother's necklace. Maybe it's wishful thinking but I can't see Kara doing that unless she really truly loves him and I can't see the show destroying the main couple of the show like that. I hope that wormhole took Mon El to the 30th century where he gets cured of his lead poisoning (with the Legion ring) and returns as Valor! I just hope that if it is true that Mon El is gone for good that Kara waits at least a few episodes next season before moving on cause I will literally lose it if season 3 opens with a new love interest (Brainiac 5?)
Also can we take a moment to talk about that scene when the camera zoomed in on a crying Kara as she flew and then cut to Mon El in the pod staring at Kara's mother's necklace? Tears all over the place.
Alex and Maggie had little to do but Alex tried to comfort Kara after Mon El was gone (kind of poorly I might add) because I get that it's hard and Alex has a girlfriend right now but seriously Kara needed family right now. Kara was there for Alex when Alex first came out and Maggie rejected her. I think losing someone you love (possibly forever) is grounds for some sister time. Now aside from all that, Alex proposed to Maggie and I loved it but also isn't it a bit soon for this? Alex and Maggie have only been dating for half this season. I wonder if we'll actually get a wedding or if like other DCTV shows, something will get in the way. I'd love a wedding. If Diggle and Lyla can do it, so can Alex and Maggie.
Speaking of couples, is anyone else seeing something possibly between Lena and Winn? They keep having these nerdy moments over tech and I love it. Also I really dislike Lyra and I think Winn deserves better.
I loved what we got with Cat tonight too. I live for the moments when she fangirls over Clark and when she touched up her lip gloss and unbuttoned her shirt, I about died. And Kara's reaction afterwards about wanting Rhea to kill her was perfect. I also snickered at Cat's line about never seeing Star Wars cause Calista is married to Harrison Ford in real life. Also let's take a minute to gush over how excited Cat was that Kara finally had a boyfriend and then how perfect that line from Cat was about knowing Kara was Supergirl cause we all wondered but no one knew for sure until now. It makes everything she said in that last speech so much more powerful. Her speech about how a woman is the most strong and resilient when she's able to be vulnerable was heartbreaking and so utterly true. The bravest anyone not just women can be is when the heart is involved. Does anyone else think that final scene with Cat felt kind of like a goodbye to Cat? I hope not! I know Calista doesn't want to move to Vancouver to film but I'd love her to pop in and out every once in a while!
The return of M'gann was also amazing and I loved that she brought a bunch of good White Martians with her to help fight and that J'onn called for her through his mental link with her. I love her and them together and I hope she stays around for a little bit.
The final scene on Krypton 35 years ago was a fun ending and it either set up a villain or an ally for the next season and I kept waiting for some sort of hint as to who it was but no such luck. I am leaning towards villain though cause based on stuff like the pod having red accents instead of white and the aliens talking about him/her reigning on Earth. For a second I thought Superboy cause in some comic versions he actually is from Krypton but if anyone was Superboy, it'd be that baby made from Lena and Mon El that Rhea mentioned wanting last week. Any guesses on who this will be?
So as you can see, I loved this finale and I am so pumped for next season! Don't forget to tune in tomorrow night for my Flash finale review!

Arrow Season 5 Episode 22 Review
WHY IS ARROW SO GOOD THIS SEASON?? Guys what an epic episode! I was either on the edge of my seat or grinning from ear to ear the whole time! This is how you make a penultimate episode! I love how much this season seems to be calling back to previous seasons and how it's leading to a nice bow on top for these past five years and my love for this show is just oozing out of every pore. When Arrow is on, boy is it on!!
So as we all saw coming, Adrian getting captured was just a ploy to play with Oliver some more and I love how he kept telling Oliver that if Oliver let's him go, he'll get his loved ones back but when Oliver finally got to that point, Adrian was like sike no I'm not going to help you. I freaking love that he captured literally everyone and that he brought them all to Lian Yu to really stick it to Oliver. I love that Thea knew almost immediately where they were and that we finally saw Evelyn again. Honestly she's such a weird person cause her villain turn was so confusing and made no sense. I also really didn't need more Black Siren but since she's going to be a series regular next season, I guess we're never going to be rid of her.
Speaking of, I enjoyed the stuff with Lance and Black Siren cause clearly Black Siren still loves him so I'm assuming Lance is going to try to turn her to good again. To be honest though it makes no sense to me cause why did we go through all this stuff with Dinah if we're getting Earth 2 Laurel and Katie Cassidy back? I loved Thea trying to explain the multiverse to Lance who's such a straight-shooter and why he sobbed out that he got Laurel back like Sara, I almost cried myself. I kind of wish that Sara would have come back for the end of this season cause even though she's on Legends now, she's such a huge part of the Arrow world and it would have made sense for her to help the show go full circle again. Not only do I want to see her reaction to Earth 2 Laurel but I want her to see Slade and Nyssa again and help fight Talia!
The opening with Oliver's birthday party had me grinning the whole time cause I love moments when the team gets to relax and just play. Everyone (but mostly Curtis) shipping Oliver and Felicity together made me die of laughter and I loved the Arrow cake that Oliver got and how he could not take his eyes off of Felicity and how everyone else noticed. I loved that he flipped Curtis onto his back and that Curtis was so bent out of shape about it.
The return of Malcom and Nyssa were great especially since narratively, it made a ton of sense. Of course Malcom would care that Thea was captured and Nyssa that her sister Talia was around and doing shit. By the way, it never ceases to make me smile when Nyssa calls Oliver husband. I loved Malcom being like sorry about Damien Darkh and William cause I was emotional and how he had Oliver's back. This is post Season 2 of Legends of Tomorrow Malcom Merlyn so I wonder if we'll get any hints to anything from Legends. Despite this, nothing made me as happy as the return of Slade freaking Wilson!! Let's talk about how I screamed when I saw Manu Bennett in the ARGUS cell even though I knew he was coming back. I still want to know how he's being taken care of here on Lian Yu cause I never see any ARGUS agents. I cannot wait until next week to see him back in action!
Next week is the season finale of Arrow and it's a showdown of Oliver, Malcom, Nyssa, Slade and Team Arrow vs Adrian, Evelyn, Black Siren, Talia and her league and I CAN'T WAIT! It's going to be amazing. I wonder if Slade will end up turning on Oliver (and Black Siren on Adrian due to Quentin) cause he really does hate Oliver unlike Malcom who sees him as a frenemy.... Is it next week yet??
I'll see you all next Monday for my Supergirl Season 2 finale review!

Agents of SHIELD Season 4 Episode 22 Review
What an amazing finale for Agents of SHIELD!!! And it was made extra sweet with the news that SHIELD has been renewed for another season! I loved the way everything played out but there were a couple of things I was curious about and a fun cliffhanger for the next season!
So let's start with Mack and YoYo first! Daisy kept sending yoyos into Radcliffe's pocket which made me giggle and gave Radcliffe a hint that YoYo was in the Framework and needed help. I loved it so much. I still don't understand Mack wanting to stay in this world because even though Hope is there, it's like staying in a video game forever just cause you like a character. I was thrilled when Mack and YoYo both came back cause I was a little worried that Mack would be written off the show after he refused to leave the Framework. It was a little heartbreaking to watch Hope disappear though just cause of Mack's reaction and then it got even more heartbreaking with YoYo's reaction and wanting to stay in the Framework cause the only person she loved was in the Framework.
It was sad that we didn't see Ward or Tripp in the world cause I had hoped to see them one more time.
Also can we take a minute to acknowledge how many tears I shed when Radcliffe vanished. I loved his character so much and I'm going to miss him. Until he vanished, I kept hoping that they'd find a way to save him.
The return of Robbie was amazing and I loved every scene we got from him. I loved how he showed up like a badass to the warehouse with AIDA and the Superior and kicked everyone's asses and then proceeded to scare the shit out of AIDA with his whip. Can we talk about how cool that shot was when Ghost Rider ducked and caught AIDA's arm?? I loved how nonchalantly he was as he waited for Daisy to show up. Ugh it was perfect. I'm sad that he left the show again but I'm hoping that since his exit left a door open for his return that we'll see him again soon enough. Also did anyone else see some sort of vibe between Robbie and Daisy? If and when he returns, I hope they'll play with this more.
The death of AIDA by tricking her into a room with Coulson who took the Ghost Rider from Robbie was so amazing! I totally didn't see it coming and it was such a fun plot twist and I loved how she was turned to dust. My only question is that AIDA was killed but what happened to the Superior's head? I hope we wrap it up next season pretty early on cause I'm not a fan of him.
It was kind of heartbreaking that Jemma and Fitz weren't on the same page tonight but totally understandable after what they've been through although I feel like a lot of it was due to Fitz not being able to forgive himself rather than Jemma being angry with him. I loved the scene where AIDA tried to kill Jemma to piss off Fitz and that it turned out that she was a LMD although I kind of figured that she wasn't real because not only wouldn't the show kill Jemma but also because LMD Jemma told Fitz that all of this was his fault and real Jemma would never say that. The ending with Daisy and Fitz and the team made me tear up because the team is a family and I loved that Daisy was the one to go full circle and tell Fitz that he can work through his problems with the team.
The final scene at the diner made me smile and I can't wait to see what happens with Coulson being on a spaceship. I wonder if it's related to the Inhumans tv show. It has to be right?
I'll see you all next season for more SHIELD and don't forget to check out my Arrow review tomorrow night!

The Flash Season 3 Episode 22 Review
Tonight's episode of the Flash was a strange one cause it felt so slow in certain parts and so interesting in other parts and that's pretty indicative of this season of Flash. It was a good episode but it didn't really get amazing until the ending!
I loved seeing Leonard Snart again especially since it was our Leonard from Season 1 of Legends of Tomorrow. I loved him teaming up with Barry and being able to break into ARGUS very easily and coming up with a smart plan on how to stop King Shark through science! I miss him so much and I wish he could come back to present day cause I love this Leonard. I also loved when Leonard told Barry to defeat Savitar through the goodness of his heart and I literally squealed when Leonard said that there's no strings on me.
King Shark was also really fun to see and I loved that anxiety we felt with the Jaws smoke thing. Also the fourth wall breaking part with Leonard talking about how they didn't have the budget to show the shark. The part where his fin was chopped off made me gasp though and the regrowth of the fin was seriously pretty cool. I also loved seeing Lyla who I never tire of but the ending where she gave Barry the power source cause she was impressed with him not giving up on Leonard was a bit out of character but needed for the plot to go on so I'll let it slide.
Iris was sent to Earth 2 with Wally and Joe and we got a really touching scene with Joe that made me tear up. I also loved that HR was the one to goof up and tell Savitar where Iris was which led to Savitar crippling Wally which explained why he wasn't there to save Iris. I 100% don't believe that Iris is dead for good cause I doubt the show will led her die. I expect Barry to go back in time or this Iris to be a clone or a fake or something and I won't believe that she's really gone until the end of the finale! That doesn't stop me from applauding the editing of her "death" and how it went from Barry running to Iris saying her vows. It was amazing.
The speed bazuka not working on Savitar made perfect sense too cause honestly the team should have known that the same method wouldn't work twice! Speaking of, I have a couple of problems with how time travel is shown in this world. How could Barry create new memories if Savitar was the future him cause Savitar should know everything Barry is doing before Barry does it. In turn, now that Barry knows that Savitar is a time remnant, even if Savitar kills Iris, why would Barry make time remnants at all? If that's true then Savitar shouldn't exist. The show is terrible at keeping it's time travel rules straight.
Next week is the finale and I'm sure that they'll figure out a way to stop Savitar and I'm thinking that Killer Frost will join them but Caitlin will not be back yet. Speaking of, where was Julian tonight? I also don't think that Iris is dead and that she'll return. Who's excited???
Don't forget to check out of my Agents of SHIELD finale review later tonight!

How could Barry create new memories if Savitar was the future him cause Savitar should know everything Barry is doing before Barry does it. In turn, now that Barry knows that Savitar is a time remnant, even if Savitar kills Iris, why would Barry make time remnants at all? If that's true then Savitar shouldn't exist. The show is terrible at keeping it's time travel rules straight.
Next week is the finale and I'm sure that they'll figure out a way to stop Savitar and I'm thinking that Killer Frost will join them but Caitlin will not be back yet. Speaking of, where was Julian tonight? I also don't think that Iris is dead and that she'll return. Who's excited???
Don't forget to check out of my Agents of SHIELD finale review later tonight!

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 21 Review
Supergirl knows how to do finales doesn't it?? So many returning characters and so much female power in one hour! What an amazing part 1 of the finale!
So first of all, Rhea is the worst. She threatened Lena and Mon El into getting married, stole their DNA to make a child, overran National City with Daxamite soldiers and refused to even acknowledge any one else's opinions including the president, Cat Grant and her own son. She's so tunnel vision that no one can interfere. I know the Daxamites are the villains right now but really they're just following what Rhea wants so I can't blame them. I'm still hoping that once Rhea is gone that Mon El will be King and lead them towards peace instead. Speaking of, why isn't Mon El King already? His father is dead, he's of age and Rhea has been calling herself regent so why is Mon El still the prince to whom the soldiers don't listen to? I loved him and Lena teaming up and fangirling over why Kara loved both of them although I wished we had gotten more of them like making a plan or something.
Cat Grant was back and I loved every moment. I seriously missed her and her pep talks which was a surprise cause I got kind of bored of them during season 1 and I think that's just cause pep talks every week get annoying (look at The Flash) so maybe Cat should be a recurring role in the future which should work for Calista's schedule! I loved her walking into a talk between Rhea and the President and telling them that they were better than men and should be able to talk about peace and then convince Kara that saving Mon El and Lena was human not selfish but obviously her best one was the rousing speech to the people of National City. Honestly I love her speeches so much that it was all perfect! Also her knowing who James was almost immediately was hilarious.
We finally found out what kind of alien the President was and how her planet was destroyed cause they were pacifists so she refuses to make the same mistake again. I also loved how her big plan was to use the plasma cannon to zap the Daxamite head ship into nothing cause it was really good and her only flaw was in Alex's hesitation and discounting Rhea's multiple back up plans.
Kara teaming up with Lillian was amazing and I loved how she had a back up plan in place for when Lillian turned on her which she did. My only problem with all this is how many times Kara needs to be naive and hope that her villains will see the light. She tried talking down Rhea before and all that accomplished was the kidnapping of Mon El and when Cat tried it, Air Force One was shot down. How is now going to change anything? It does make sense though cause of who Kara is at her core so I can't begrudge her too much. I also don't know how much I liked Mon El leaving Kara to fend for herself cause I know it's Kara's show but backup is always a good thing. For a storyline involving Mon El and his family and his people, he's sidelined a lot similarly to Iris on the Flash.
Also can we take a moment to acknowledge how terrified I was when the Phantom Zone projector was mentioned? In the comics, Mon El was sent to the Phantom Zone for years until he was released in the 30th century and joins the Legion of Superheroes. I keep feeling like the show is going to get rid of him by the end of this season so I almost had a heart attack again when Mon El used the projector by himself at the end cause what if it accidently sent him to the Phantom Zone?? Luckily that didn't happen but I will be anxious until the finale is over.
I loved the return of Superman and how he was under the control of Lillian. Honestly show, Superman is so easily controlled. First through Myriad and now this. What kind of weapon controls Kryptonians? Either way I'm thrilled he's back and that there was a good reason that he wasn't fighting the Daxamites with Supergirl!
Next week is the finale and it looks amazing. Kara will be fighting Clark and also Rhea one-on-one in what looks to be a winner take all kind of fight where Rhea will probably have to back off if Kara wins. Do we think Rhea will be killed at the end? She has to right? Or else she'd keep coming back and trying to take over although I could see that cause Lillian is a recurring villain... I can't wait!
