Crisis Has Begun: Supergirl "Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 1" SPOILERS!

Image result for supergirl crisis on infinite earths part 1

Part one of the five part crossover event "Crisis on Infinite Earth" began last night; while it brought a lot of Part one of the five part crossover event "Crisis on Infinite Earth" began last night; while it brought a lot of nostalgic to the fans of DC comics but it also brought heartache as well. Here's a recap!!

While suffering from earthquakes, Supergirl and team learn that an anti-matter wave is about to hit Argo City, where Kara's mother, Clark, and Lois with their baby are staying. While Kara communicates with Clark the planet of Argo is distorted by the wave. 

The Harbinger picks up Barry Allen, Kate Kane, Oliver Queen, Mia Smoak, Sara Lance, and Ray Palmer from Earth-1 and brings them to Earth 38 to help save as many people as possible. But also Clark and Lois was saved by the Harbinger. While Jonathan, who was sent on a ship just before Argo was destroyed, was caught in a black hole and sent to Earth-16; where Sara, Brainy and Lois went to get him and also meet with another version of Oliver. 

While J'onn and Nia tries to get everyone to the safe point to be picked up; Alex pleased with Lena to help make the portal device to sustain massive ships of people of Earth-38. When Lena couldn't crack the code, Alex gave her the brilliant idea of making a few changes that set the portal to work. 

Oliver, Mia, Kara, Clark, Kate and Ray battle the anti-monitor's army to by more time to save more lives. When the Monitor appears he tells them that it's time to leave and get ready for more battles and transport everyone expect for Oliver, who still needs more time and fights the army; that is until Earth-38 is destroyed and The Monitor brings a severely wounded Oliver back. Oliver tells Barry that he had to scarface himself to save him and Kara. And just as he tells Mia his goodbyes, Oliver dies.

While The Monior didn't see that coming; the Parish tells everyone that everything they know is doomed. 

I thought that Part 1 was a very good kicking off start to this event. While there's some nostalgic that had me going "oh my god!" seeing Burt Ward and Robert Whurl while the original Batman theme songs were playing in the background. It poses a question to what happens now that Olive is dead or could that be the Oliver that we all know? It did feel that this episode was a bit of Oliver's mini-swan song in a way. Does anyone think that Oliver from Earth-16 will be a part of this down the road? While I'm not a big fan of the Superman character in this Arrowverse, I do appreciate how they are trying to make him more human as in wanting to be a family man than a superman. I don't think that's not wrong to do. 

Overall, I give this episode an 8/10. 

You can catch Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Two tonight on Batwoman at 8/7c on The CW.

"Superfriends": Supergirl Season 4

Image result for supergirl season 4



The fourth season was as jolting of high intensity drama as it could have ever have been.

I thought that the fourth season of Supergirl was a very powerful but overwheleming season that takes on the issues of immigration but also secrets and even family. There might have been a few episodes like "Menagerie" was a bit of a snoozefest to me. Otherwise, most of the episodes were pretty much good to even better.

While Benoist and the cast gave a great performance in the fourth season; the one person that shines throughout was Nicole Maines as Nia/Dreamer. Maines performance in the first episode is almost like Benoist's performance when we first meet her as Kara in the pilot.

And I thought that Jon Cryer as Lex Luther could be wrong; I was totally stunned by his performance. It wasn't just wacky but so brilliantly well done that; it was better than Gene Hackman or Jessie Eisenberg.

I very much enjoyed season four and while it made me cry at times; it was as better as the previous season. The writing was so good as it could have been; with the season finale was as powerful as I thought it could in the way that it concluded. Season five should be interesting and the Crisis on Infinite Earth will be an event unlike anyother in the Arrowverse. Overall, I give this season an 8.9/10.

You can catch Supergirl Sundays at 9/8c on The CW.

Prepare for What's Coming: Supergirl Elseworlds, Part 3

Image result for supergirl elseworlds

After two nights of full of excitement, drama and super amazing moments; Part 3 of Elseworld ends with Supergirl that not deals with some life changes but something more is coming. Here's a recap!

Continuing from where we left off in Arrow as Barry and Oliver learn that Deegan changed reality once again and has become the black-suited Superman. Oliver gets a chance to escape from him by calling his bluff to have him save the citizens. They come up with a plan to find Cisco but got sidetracked when they meet with The Mointer and learned that all of this is a test to see who's strong and willing.

As Barry and Oliver find Cisco and convinced him to help him us his power to get them into Earth 38, to get Clark and Lois' help. Kara is trapped by Deegan and uses not only Oliver and Barry's friends to help him but Alex as well. Kara talks to Alex and convinces her that she's not this kind of person and describes her sister and what she means to her. Alex helps Kara get free and meets up with Deegan but Barry, Oliver, and Clark make it back in time. 

Clark and Deegan fight, while Kara, Barry, and Alex located the book and gives it to Clark to help refix reality. Barry gets his powers back, Oliver returns to normal, but Deegan gets the book back and the team devices a plan. Barry and Kara use their speed to slow down time, while Olver meets with The Monitor and asked to help change history as both Barry and Kara are the sign of hope for the world.

Just as Barry and Kara are about to burst into flame, time slows down and Oliver takes his shot at Deegan and stops him. And both Barry and Kara are still alive after going mack 7 speed. After things changed back, Deegan's face is deformed and sent to Arkham in Gotham. Kara and Clark have a nice moment and learns that he and Lois are moving back to start a family. But a call from Kate Kane to Oliver gets worried about a friend that Deegan is making in Arkham and that friend is Psycho-Pirate. And a short teaser to what comes next fall "Crisis on Infinite Earths."

"Elseworlds Part 3" was a fantastic episode ending but a nice cliffhanger to what comes next year. This episode really gave a strong character development, mainly between Oliver and Barry as those two grew closer as friends and Oliver grew more as a person that shouldn't wait but have hope and go with it. Maybe he and Felicity will finally get back together. But let me just say this that this crossover was like the perfect freaky Fridays meet bosom buddies moments for Barry and Oliver that I enjoyed too much. Another thing, I WANT TO SEE BATWOMAN AS A SERIES!!! Ruby Rose killed it and gave us just enough to see her character and Gotham that this would work. Please make it work CW! MAKE IT WORK!!!

I thought there were some good moments for Kara too. When she convinces Alex the help her and describe how her Alex stands up to what she believes that gets her to be her own person. Also, the moment with Clark at the end was a good enough moment to know that it was like passing the mantle down of saving the world. Yeah, I may not like how it was done after seeing Clark get his butt kicked many times in this crossover but it was effective enough that I enjoyed it. And not to mention with what's coming next year that maybe that other Kara could be used in that situation. I don't know. I'm just guessing.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10. I give the crossover event a 9/10.

You can catch Supergirl when it returns in January.

"Best Wedding Ever!" Supergirl "Crisis on Earth-X part 1"

Related image



I agree with Heat Wave: "Best Wedding Ever."

Part one of the four-part epic crossover event, kicking off last night with Supergirl, delivered such an entertaining episode and set a great tone for the next episode.

In the parallel world, Earth-X, where the Nazi regime has ruled the planet, a dark hooded archer called Dark Arrow kills the American loyalists and others that are part of the resistance. Dark Arrow takes on The Guardian and, after a couple of seconds of battling, kills him. He joins his team as they are about to take a machine that will make sure they spread their hatred. Dark Arrow orders his team but changes when his partner Overgirl gives her orders.

Meanwhile, there's a wedding coming with Iris and Barry. They wonder if the others (Supergirl, Arrow, and the Legends) have RSVP their invitations, for which we get to see some kick-ass fighting scenes with our favorite DC TV heroes, but Kara and Alex get a moment during their bond time and decide to go.

With the girls having their time, Barry and Oliver have their Groom/Best Man talk about settling down, which is excellent and funny, with Barry making a joke that Oliver doesn't laugh at all. During the dinner, with everyone there, Iris' father gives a heartfelt speech about how they helped him find his way back to love again. The dinner had other great moments, one being Alex and Sara drinking up and having a one-night stand. The other Oliver is talking to Felicity about settling down, but she doesn't want to and walks away.

As the wedding begins, Kara sings, and just as the wedding starts, the minister is killed by Overgirl. After a fascinating and entertaining fight scene, Kara injures Overgirl during the fight, and the Nazis retreat, but our heroes capture Dark Arrow's partner Prometheus.

Dark Arrow and Overgirl discuss the plan and meet with the yellow speedster, who discuss their next step. Dark Arrow and Overgirl unmasked themselves and are revealed to be the parallel universe doppelgangers of Oliver Queen and Kara. The yellow speedster is Barry's presumed deceased nemesis, Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash.

"Crisis on Earth-X Part 1" was nothing but stunning. The first part of the crossover event delivered such a kick-ass start with such thrilling to humoring moments, mostly coming from Heat Wave and even the moments with Sara and Alex, for which I'm down with that relationship if anyone has any objections. The drama between Oliver and Felicity was excellent, and I assume it'll carry good for the next episode. I think this might be one of the best crossover events than the one last season. The writing was excellent, and the performances go to an equal amount of everyone's effort. Overall, I give this episode 9/10.

You can catch the epic crossover event with Arrow last night and tonight's episode of The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow beginning at 8/7c on The CW. You can see the fall finale of Supergirl following Monday at 8/7c on The CW.

Supergirl Season 3 Another Inside Look




Here's a clip of a longer discussion about the upcoming season three of Supergirl:




You can catch the return of Supergirl Monday, October 9th at 8/7c on The CW.

Supergirl Season 3: Meeting Reign with a Twist




When the third season of Supergirl premieres, expect to see a new big bad Reign to be not your typical villian. That could be that she might not have the idea that she is a villian.

If you remember at the closing of season two, it was revealed that another pod escaped Krypton's destruction, housing a bio-engineered weapon called Reign, also known to all as a Worldkiller. In the comics, the Worldkillers are bloodthiirsty, super-powered beings that's set out to conquer Earth.
Image result for Supergirl and Reign

But when Dette Annable (House) makes her debut in the season premiere, she'll be playing a very different character than what the comic book fans have come to know from the New 52s.

Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg tells EW, "When we meet Reign, she's ust a woman. HEr name is Samanthan and she's a single mom, and she has no idea that she is Reign: she has no idea that she was the baby in the pod at the end of last season, so the journey that she takes this season is watching her realize her heritage and see how it manifests."

With Samantha's transformation into Reign, will speak with the show's theme this year. "The thing everybody is struggling with on Supegirl this season is What does it mean to be humna?", Kreisberg says, stressing that Supergirl needed to shake things up with the choices of big bad. "I'm not only competing with myself on Supergirl, but I'm competing with with myself on all the other shows that I've done, and by that I mean I don't want to repeat what I've done on Supergirl, nor do I want to repeat what I've done on Arrow and Flash."

Oh please don't repeat what you did on Arrow, I can't stand another I'm done being a hero at one end and deciding to come back in another. Three seasons of that gets pretty tiresome.

Kreisberg contuines, Usually on these shows, you either meet the big bad at the end of episode one or you meet them at episode seven or nine, and you realize that they've been pulling the strings the whole time, and were out there working with their multi-year plan to take down the heroes or destroy the city. When we were figuring out Reign, one thin we've never really seen on any of these shows is we've never seen the big bad become the big bad."

It seems that we're in for a hell of a season. So ge ready for it when Supergirl premieres on Monday, October 9th at 8/7c on The CW.

New DC TV "Super Season" Trailer

Image result for DC TV shows



Is Cat Grant the White House Press Secretary?

A new promo for the TE CW superhero four pack shows: Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow and DC's Legends of Tomorrow is making the rounds online with a nice settling trailer that doesn't show a whole lot of jaw-dropping moments but just enough to get us over the next month til it's premiere week, October 9th.

There's one moment that shows Cat Grant, played by Calista Flockhart, appearing as the White House Press Secretary. For Grant to be in this position, it might not that be that surprising since she is best friends with the Preisdent of the United States of America (played by no other than Lynda Carter). IF that is the case, she'll be a lot better Press Secretary than the others we've seen in the last eight months.

Here's the trailer:

The new season of Supegirl, The Flash, Arrow and DC's Legends of Tomorrow begins the week of October 9th on The CW.

Arrow-verse Crossover Event Set for November

Image result for Arrowverse



The CW has announced on Wednesday at the Television Critics Associations Summer press tour that the network will air another Arrow-verse crossover event.

The event will take place across four shows on two nights. The action event will kick off on Monday, Nov. 27 on Supergirl, followed by a special Monday episode of Arrow. Then it'll continue into Tuesday, Nov. 28 on The Flash and concludes that night on Legends of Tomorrow.

There no storyline details right now but that could change later today as assorted #DCTV EP appears at TCA panels.

"We felt that it would be better and tighter in storytelling...This was the best way to go," said CW boss Mark Pedowitz, explaining why the scheduling change up of the special Monday episode of Arrow.

"Next year we may go back to four nights," Pedowitz allowed.

The Arrow-verse began in December 2014 with a crossover event that took place on The Flash and then Arrow. Then in December 2015, Legends of Tomorrow villain Vandal Savage targeted Central City's barista Kendra Saunders, triggering the involvement of Flash and Arrow heroes once again. And last year's four show, three night crossover event folded in Supergirl, as the Super friends were battling the alien race known as The Dominators.

Blasting Through the Tunnel: Weekend Catch Up


iZombie "Max Wager"

When a victim dies due to high-end gambling, it's up to Liv to find out who gave him the cut.

Liv and Clive investigate a murder; they find that the victim is in deep debt. Hell, the guy was friends with a famous college and pro basketball player, played by Rick Fox. When Live dives into the victim's mind, she gets that same itch to bet, along with meeting a couple of folks and winning some cash.

It turns out that with the help from the victim's college buddy's tip to Liv about betting on Arizona the NCAA Basketball, that put the screws in for him to confess and gave two other people, one a former ball player.

Meanwhile, Liv and Major get deep into sex playing, from live face chatting to getting close to having sex, but nothing happens. Ravi couldn't develop a cure for them, but I think they're pretty well off doing play for now.

Blaine gets a visit from his old man and takes his business for only a short time until Major kidnaps him and puts him in the freezer.

For now, the Liv and Major relationship is back on, and I can deal with it. I'm pulling for them, but it gets a bit tiresome watching them going back and forth from the past season and now. I did enjoy the episode to full benefit, and I thought that Clive's relationship with the FBI agent was awkwardly excellent when they and Liv and Major bump into each other.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch iZombie on Tuesday nights at 9/8c on The CW.


Donny! "pilot"

Everyone should know who Donny Deutsch is: a well-known guy in the ad business who gives tips and advice on what not to do or to do in bad situations. Hell, I remember him when he was on the Today Show, and now he has a sitcom, and it's kind of what I have pictured him to be.

In Donny!, Deutsch plays himself as a Dr. Phil-like talk show host, but what he perches on the show, she doesn't do outside of the show—doing sexting and trying to come up with a fresh idea for the show. It's like one of those "oh my god!" moments that you can't believe that he's doing or even saying it.

Somehow, Deutsch reminds me of Paul Reiser from Mad About You. It's how Deutsch sounds and explains things; my head is wrapped around that. I enjoy the cast, from Donny's Angels to his children dealing with this.

Overall, I give the episode a 7/10.

You can catch Donny! Tuesday nights at 10:30/9:30c on USA Network

Arrow "Lost Souls" 

When it's time to rescue a friend, it's probably not the best time for a motherly visit to come suddenly.

As Felicity is searching for Ray, she gets a video message from him of his whereabouts and that he is, in fact, alive and very, very small. Of course, Ray Palmer is the Atom trapped in a giant glass held by Darhk.

But when Oliver buts into Felicity's family, inviting her mother to come isn't the most excellent idea in the world to do. But it makes some hilarious scenes of them talking about it. One of the scenes comes as they're about to go into a warehouse and steal a gadget to help Ray.

The Arrow and Darhk meet again, and this time, Arrow seems to have the upper hand even in pulling a fast one. But it appears that what Felicity and the team left behind is something to their use.

Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10. It was good, with some scenes and some lagging a bit.

You can catch Arrow on Wednesday nights at 8/7c on The CW.

Chicago PD "Forget My Name" 

Talk about mixing secret government high-tech and homicide, and you might have one hell of a thrill in this episode of Chicago PD.

When Intel informs Halstead and Dawson of these missing secret chips, the team follows the lead and sees the exchange and a murdered body.

I mean, this is real Blocklist meets Person of Interest stuff that it's unlike any other. I was amazed at how this episode went and how far it went. Besides the case they were working on, Halstead and Lindsay had some perfect moments, one being in the van as they watched the lead suspect at her home and the other when the lawyer for the government company gave Halstead her number after the two went a couple of rounds. He tears that paper up and tells Erin he has no clue what that is.

All I had to say was, kick her ass, Erin!!!

Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

You can catch Chicago PD on Wednesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.


The Blacklist "Zal Bin Hasaan" 

This was one of the best stories of a supportive character in this series. We finally get a backstory on Samar and her family.

In this episode, we get to see Samar gardening with her brother. When a man comes into their home and kills their parents, she promises to be with him forever. We learn that she lost her brother in a bombing in 2009, but he is alive.

Not only did she find him, but he was in a warehouse where six/five people were held hostage. That's where she finds him. She talks to him about what happened and asks for Zal Bin Hasaan, who's been the blacklister who's been doing this whole hostage thing.

It turns out that Hasaan is Samar's brother, and after trying to take him down, Red comes to the rescue and takes him away from her as he needs him to get a meeting in progress to help Liz.

But if you thought that was it, think again. Ressler has been on The Director's tail since last week and has taken Solomon for an interview. Of course, the Director interferes and takes care of it. But after informing of what he has been doing,  The Director has been fired from teaming up with the FBI.

Also, Tom and Cooper had one hell of a storyline in this episode. Try keeping a man hiding from Cooper's wife. I'm enjoying Tom as a hitman for once. I can't stop laughing at anything he does to someone.

With what went down with Ressler and Samar, they talked about it and ended up together in one of their apartments. Yeah, I know. I didn't see that coming, too. That was an OMG moment.

But I think that big ones will be coming in the Fall Finale. Jon Bokencamp and Dave Metzer said it will be "unexpected" and brimley."

Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch the Fall Finale of The Blacklist this Thursday at 9/8c on NBC.

Beyond The Events Around Us: Weekend Catch Up Part 13

iZombie "Even Cowgirls Get the Black and Blue

When a murder of a country singer is found strangled, takes on as a country singer and a very good one at that.

Not only does Liv get that country singer in her but she also wrote a song based on her relationship with Major, who I thought they were going to break their relationship off again. They asked the boyfriend and even the creepy bar owner who was hitting on her but in the end, it turned out that the victim was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Turned out to be a robber, who just pulled a robbery at a store and dropped the gun at the same neighborhood.

Not only does Liv rediscovers love, but Clive experiences it to with an FBI agent looking into missing high profile cases. Also I can't put more stress on it that I've very much happy to see Peyton and Liv back together as friends. And just thought Liv and Major were done for, they came back to each others arms, or should I say that Major came back to her arms.

I enjoyed this episode so much that some of the phrases that Liv keeps say stuck in my head, mostly the "well, butter my button and call it a biscuit

Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10

You can catch iZombie Tuesday nights at 9/8c on The CW.


Arrow "Beyond Redemption"  

When a task force is killing and stealing drug money, its up to the Green Arrow and the team to stop them and get some help from Lance. Also Oliver makes it official on running for Star City mayor.

For an episode to tell this kind of story, it feels more like a fell in than anything. Yeah the criminals were cops trying to make more at what they are making. I can understand that. I feel like the only thing that got done in this episode was that Oliver and the team got new digs, Laurel shows Quentin that Sara is alive.

But probably the only thing that got the episode any taste was the head butting of Oliver and Quentin, not only asking for his recommendation for Mayor but talking about Quentin's relationship with Dahrk. I will say that this was Paul Blackthorne's best performance so far. He had a lot on his plate more than any other character in this episode.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

Code Black: "Doctor With Borders" 

When a epidemic of respiratory illness comes to the hospital, Neal and the team race against time to treat and figure out what this illness is. Also a patient comes in with barbwire in his leg.

This episode showed it's best for Raza Jaffery as Dr. Hudson. On top of the epidemic, finding out that his mother is suffering too. He deals with not only professional but also personal when his dad butts in as well. I was very astonished from Jaffery's performance.  

It soon turned out that it's not a deadly virus but a chlorine based where it burns through the throat, creating air from getting out.

Also watching Angus and Mario butted heads again was once again okay. These two are a bit of a bossom buddies rivalry. I have to hand it to Angus that he stepped up and never backed down from what he thinks and believes.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Code Black Sunday nights at 10/9c on CBS.


Heroes Reborn: "June 13th Part 1" 

In this part one of the two part episode, there were questions that were answered in this stunning episode.

Noah and Hiro tracks back to the event of June 13th 2014 at the Submit. Mohinder receives a message from Angela about Erica's plan. Noah and Hiro try to find Claire until Noah relives some of the events that happen before the event.

Angela gets to Hiro and Noah and informs him that Claire had called her that she's in the hospital. Noah goes with Angela while Hiro stops Harris along with Mohinder. They couldn't stop the bombs from going off.

Meanwhile, Noah finds out that Claire has died not from the blast, but from childbirth. And here's another shocker for ya, they're twins, a boy and a girl. Noah finally understand why he couldn't remember the event that took place, because he was hiding the whereabouts of Claire's kids.

Both of the kids were gone to separate ways, Nathan went to a nurse and Malina went to someone else. Nathan is who we know as Tommy.

So the point of this season I'm guessing is Save the Cheerleader's children, save the world.

This was hands down the best episode so far. There were a lot of questions answered and even though there are still more, it was literally the best hour of television, along side with The Blacklist.

Overall, I give this episode a 10/10.

You can catch Heroes Reborn Thursday nights at 8/7c on NBC.


The Player "The Norseman" 

This show is more entertaining than any other new drama show. After watching this episode, I can't believe that a lot of viewers aren't watching it.

When a bet is on to take down a killer, Alex not only takes him down but does it twice. The killer is more of witchcraft kinda of guy that needs to kill for the spirit. But after Alex take him down once, the killer gets revenge and takes his niece to do the final task.

Alex is furious and goes after the guy. After a few bumps and cuts, he comes and beats the crap out of him. But doesn't kill him or take him into custody. Alex stop him from killing after midnight and won the bet. That leaves The Dealer to come and clean up.

Oh my god, Wesley Snipes is amazing. I can never tell if he's good or bad but that fight scene was superb the best fight scene in a while.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch The Player Thursday night's at 10/9c on NBC.

Darkness of the Light Reunites Weekend Catch Up pt 12



Scream Queens " Seven Minutes in Hell"

As the voting for new Kapa President, Chanel and Zayday are voted as President. Chanel pretends to hate the idea but she really likes it and was trying to make her President.

Anyway, in order to stop the Red Devil, Zayday plans a slumber party where they can play spin the bottle, truth or dare and seven minutes in heaven. Believe me the funniest scene came from Roberts' Chanel asking how they are going to play these games without any dickies.

Of course, the girls are trapped in the house due to an emergency system so Chanel calls Chad to come and rescue them. He did but all he did was bring guys because they were going to their party anyway.

Soon the killings starts and after this episode three people would be killed. And the accusing began. As morning came, the police seems not want to do anything anyway so there was only one thing to do. Party like it was the 90's!!!

This episode was really good. I'm more impress with Emma Roberts performance in this episode along with Lea Michele who plays one hell of an annoying character. Almost like her Glee character.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch Scream Queens Tuesday nights at 9/8c (it will be back after baseball) on FOX.


Stitchers "When Darkness Falls"

In this Halloween special, when a girl is missing and the killer's body is found, Kristin and the team are on the case to find where she is being held at and if she's still alive.

When Kristin stitches into the murderer, there was something different that she hasn't encountered before, somehow the mind is talking back at her. Cameron and the rest thought it as just it a mind of a phenomenon. But Kristin wasn't buying it.

She was spooked to death thinking that she was seeing things. Turns out that she was so scared that she spent the night at Cameron's house and the two slept together, but I'm sure it was nothing.

When Fisher located the place that Kristin saw with a dead body, they checked it out and turns out to be a dead body without any organs. But Kristin finds the missing girl's cell phone with a photo of her and the killer.

Without any new clues, Kristin when back to stitching the body again and had found where the girl was being kept. But the killer was still talking to her but they found the girl where she was in the basement.

You would think that it would be over, no there was a twist to give it that Halloween taste. As Kristin and the gang have a party at the empty house of the killer's. Kristin goes up stairs to check on something and finds that the killer but it was the one's evil brother. Weird!!

Soon Kristin and the evil brother had a nice chat as she tells him that they're alike until she pulls a trick and drops the dumbwaiters on him.

This episode was really good. There was some good humor and very good story that shows that Kristin can show fear even if she says that she doesn't get scared. I would have never had guess that the brother was the one. It didn't come to my mind.

Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10.

You can catch Stitchers new season sometime next year on the new Freeform Network (Former ABC Family).  


Arrow "Restoration"  

The title of this week's episode is actually what it means for our characters.

Oliver and Diggle come to terms and have to take things into their own hands. Oliver takes on Double Down and Diggle takes on the one good lead that he's been looking for, both of which couldn't go it alone. Which makes Felicity the mom between them and make them talk alone.

Apparently that worked and they come to terms.

Double Down the card throwing criminal, tracks down one of his cards and found it at Palmer's faculty where Felicity and Curtis  were talking about the card. Felicity takes on Down and gets Curtis to the Arrow's secret layer. It was kind of cool to see Felicity shoot a gun like she was scar-face.

Thea and Laurel meet with with Malcolm and hoping to provide answers. I can't stand Malcolm for what he does to Thea, putting her through this crap. And for Laurel, she wants to bring back Sara from the dead. Of course, Malcolm couldn't do it because when she comes back it wound't be the same Sara but a totally different person. I'm thinking try Thea 10 times different with the power and anger that she's shows.

I understand where Laurel is coming from but this is a bad idea to bring her sister back to live like this. Something worst is going to happen. But I'm happy to as Felicity says it "have the gang back together. "

I've enjoyed this episode. I'm really enjoying Neal McDonough's performance as Damien Dahrk. So evil and so much a rules in order type of guy. I can't wait to see what he does each week to get his plans into action.

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

You can catch Arrow Wednesday nights at 8/7c on The CW.



Heroes Reborn "Game Over" 

Noah and Quentin tries to get answers off from Harris. Harris doesn't seem want to give any information but takes them to the secret place where they seem to keep Noah's old friend Hiro.

As Harris takes Noah to the place, they meet Miko, who is also searching for Hiro as well. The two works together but trouble comes and Quentin's sister comes with four more Harris' and shoots them. Miko tries to battle with herself in the virtual game and soon does but if she frees Hiro she will die.

Hiro saves Noah just in time and Noah asked him for help. Hiro takes Noah back to June 13th.

Meanwhile Tommy is still upset with his mother and goes to Emily to cool off. They soon take off to Paris and tries to get up to the Eiffle Tower, but with the scanners there it didn't work out. Tommy tells Emily that he's has to save the world that it's his destiny.

Emily tells Tommy or shows him a comic book that helps him with his issue and it does. Soon they go back to her place and she helps take the chip out of his wrist. But soon they kiss and I think that they're a couple now, right?

And of course, Luke tries to end his life by buying a boat and sinking himself down the lake but that doesn't come true thanks to one hero, Malina. The bumped to each other at the vending machines and soon they talk and after showing Luke a photo of Tommy they are off to help save the world.

I enjoyed this episode a lot. Mostly because of the return of Hiro. He's literally my favorite hero along with Ellie, who wasn't much of a hero. Good to see old friends back. I'm amazed at what Luke has gone through dealing with his powers and his life basically gone until he meets Malina and all that seems to help him focus.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10

You can catch Heroes Reborn Thursday nights at 8/7c on NBC.

Wild, Wild Weekend: Weekend Catch Up Pt 11



iZombie "Zombie Bro"

Call it the revenge that went wrong. This week's episode had to be straight down hilarious.

When a college student gets murdered at a frat party. Olivia takes on the mind of a frat student and it's totally hilarious. Making skeletons in the lab doing some weird and embarrassing things, writing "FART" on Ravi's head and putting makeup too.

And it wasn't just Liv but Ravi and Major as well. They try to find the drug so they know what it feels like when taking it. Ravi goes wild, just wild and dances. Major just does the same thing until someone uses his phone and calls Liv to pick him up These three both get in a taxi and perform one hell of a scene talking how they got this whole zombie thing going.

The suspects in the case goes to the frats boys, another student with the same name as the victim, the girlfriend and the couple that rented the costume. It might have sounded like it could be the frats or girlfriend but it turns out it was the couple that rented the costume. The guy wanted to get revenge on the victim because he killed his father in a drug driving. That was until he learned that it was the wrong guy that he killed.

Blaine on the other hand tries to get things moving in his drug ring. Not to mention that Major is now hooked on the drug that he and Ravi tried at the club.

Overall, I thought that this was one of the funniest episodes. I would watch this episode over just to get some laughs out of it.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

Here's a promo for Tuesday's episode.

Arrow "The Candidate"

Oliver and Thea deal not only their own issues but a friend of the family's own as well. When Jessica Danforth and her daughter comes to town, they're not only in Starling City for a nice visit and chat. Jessica tells Oliver and Thea that she's going to be running for Mayor and that their mother influenced her.

That kind a leads to another attack against the candidate for Mayor. There was an air gun going off and a kidnap of Jessica's daughter all by Lonnie Machin or as he calls himself the Anarchy. He's working for Darhk and HIVE. Darhk doesn't like Machin's approaches to these situations but it did get Jessica to stop running for mayor after her daughter is brought back thanks to Speedy and Green Arrow.

As for Thea, she's been getting a bit too aggressive against the Ghost and it concerns Oliver to the point of retelling what happen against Al Ghul. Thea tells Laurel about what had happen and it gave her the idea to take her and go back to the pit but not with just the two of them but bring with them Laurel's sister.

As for Oliver, he's been thinking over and decides to run for Mayor of Starling City. If he wants to be a step ahead of the Ghost, why not?

Felicity meets with Curtis Holt and had to make some difficult choices for the Palmer Company. But saves the jobs and invest on whatever Holt has cooking in his lad. I think that Holt could be the Static Shock, but who knows. It was just a thought.

Oliver's flashback we see him back on the island and dealing with another military that have slavery of people working for them. He's working for them and looks pretty good with a nice haircut.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

Here's a promo for the next episode.

Heroes Reborn: "The Lion's Den"

Noah searches for the answers and tries to get them out of Erica. When Harris makes an entrance, things goes battle but Miko comes in and gets her sword back.

Tommy learns a bit about his past, that his mother isn't really his mother. This was when he was getting tested and put a microchip in his arm, so they know where he'll be when he disappears. He gets upset towards his mother, but the old man who comes in tells him that he's the one to help save the world. If I was Tommy I would freak out too.

Malina escapes from Harris and his men but a mentor/friend scarifies to help her. We seen The Shadow and it doesn't look like a pretty Evo at all.

Luke on the other hand makes some changes in his life. Gives his practice away and looks through his past. And then sets his house on fire and leaves like a total bad ass.

This episode was very good. I'm amazed at Robbie Kay's performance. And with Noah still searching, he know who he has to go to...to an old friend.

Overall, I give it a 8/10.

The Player "The Big Blind"

Could Ginny still be alive? That's the question that lingers into Alex's mind, while protecting a friend from getting taken out by her husband. The stakes have never been any higher and as Mr. Johnson said the odds should be much higher.

When an attack takes place against a high profile criminal Ray and his wife Monica, Alex comes to investigates. It turns into a keep the wife alive against the husband as she hired a hit-man to taken her husband out. 

Alex takes on not just one but five guys. Alex takes Monica to a construction site of remodel hotel to stay safe, but they wouldn't stay safe for long. Alex takes things into his own hands and taken everyone out not just with a gun, but a phone, duck tape, propane and fire torch. 

Monica gets away and Alex standoff with one last guy, until they shoot each other. Alex goes down but wakes up and sees a shadow figure a couple of feet from him. Soon he falls back asleep and flashbacks to when he first meet Ginny. Then wakes up with a cup on his right side just like Ginny use to in his dream. 

Alex ask Monica about Ginny and the only thing that she tells him is that she was afraid of something. Alex and Mr. Johnson have a few nice heated chats. I enjoy watching these two butted heads. And also Cassandra is also in the same boat as Alex, as she's trying to find what happen to Ginny but comes short. 

So is Ginny really died? Does anyone think that Cassandra's real name is April?

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

Bones: "The Doctor in the Drink"

When a body is found in a pond, Booth and Brennan are back on the case. Brennan who misses much of the excitement while Booth is going through some stuff the begins at home and ends up at work.

The team dives into solving the case. They come up with that the body had it's organs taken away. Aubrey and Booth checkout suspects like Nadia who talked to Aubrey about harvesting organs for the good to save a life. Yeah but in this case it really wasn't in anyway good.

When Brennan and Wendell check over the bones once again, they find that the angle of the damaged face doesn't meet. So Angela gets her hands in it and find out that the car safety guard was the weapon and that it was the victim's best friend.

In this episode, Booth is going through other tough time when his brother's ashes haven't arrived. Even though I thought Aubrey had it, when it wasn't I think that Booth was at this point still grieving for the lost of Jared. But I think what could make that a little better was that Booth got his old office back.

I enjoyed this episode. Love that Bones and Booth are back but I do mess seeing these two solve crime together. I miss the teamwork between Booth and Brennan, that chemistry that made this show awesome and unique. I'm not saying that I don't like what they're doing, all I'm saying is that at least have a couple of episodes of Booth and Brennan solving crime instead of having Booth and Aubrey doing some of the work.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

Here's a promo for Thursday's episode.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend "Josh Just Happens to Live Here"

It's smart, crafty, bright and witted. These are some of the words that I can best describe the new CW series "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend."

Starring Rachel Bloom, she plays Rebecca Bunch, a girl who was once a happy girl when she was at a summer camp with a boy named Josh Chan until he broke up with her. Ten years later, she's a successful lawyer about to become junior partner at a firm until she spotted Josh. 

They catch up pretty quick and heard that he was moving back to West Covina, California. Rebecca soon declined her job offer and moved to West Covina, where it's only two hours from the beach (NOT!). She gets a job at a local law firm for Darryl Whitefeather. She meets Paula Proctor, a person that's worked extra harder to get where she is today. 

Paula doesn't seem to like Rebecca at first due to how she's acting. That all changed when Paula confronted Rebecca about everything and after a bit of a reality check, Rebecca thinks she's crazy for what she had done. Moving over to try to connect with Josh. Paula doesn't think so and is willing to help her achieve that goal. 

This series has a mixture of everything. I couldn't get some of the songs out of my head from West Covina to "Sexy Ready Getting Song." Bloom is stunning and astonishing in the pilot. The chemstiry between Bloom and Donna Lynne Champlin, who plays Paula, is impressive. 

Overall, I give the pilot a 9/10.

You can catch Crazy Ex-Girlfriend tonight and every Monday nights at 8/7c on The CW.

Doctor Who & Weekend Catch Up Part 10



Doctor Who "Before the Flood"

In the second part of this two-part story, the Doctor travels back to the 1980s during the Cold War to see where the spaceship is and who has landed. It only took two crew members and left Clara and the others behind due to the security doors.

This episode occurred before the previous episode, as the Doctor explains in the beginning, and again at the end. This is called the "bootstrap paradox," a time loop. We've seen it in other shows and films. But he mentions only Beethoven, who wasn't a natural person until he, the Doctor, gave sheets of music to a man who called himself Ludwig Beethoven. That was a fun part of the episode. It was beautifully well-performed and made.

The Doctor had to battle with the Fisher King, the one trying to get from that point in time, 2199. Killing O'Donnell, the King faces the Doctor, who looks scared when looking up at the King. But so on, the Doctor talked and told him a lie about the ship, for which the King went back to and realized that the Doctor lied to him. Along with the dam being destroyed.

As Clara, Cass, and Lunn try to stay alive from the ghost, they come to the white box in the control room. It opened up and out popped the Doctor along with his sonic sunglasses.

I have to say that this was a very, very interesting episode. I had to watch it twice to keep understanding it, but it was a lot better watching it the second time. The time loop did get me at first. That was until I put it together from the first scene of the episode to the last scene of the episode. It is brilliantly done and probably one of its best and brightest episodes.

Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

You can catch Doctor Who on Saturday nights at 9/8c on BBC America.


Arrow "Green Arrow" 

(WARNING: I HAVE NOT SEEN SEASON 3 BUT WILL THIS WEEK; THIS IS ALL FROM WATCHING SEASONS ONE & TWO AND THIS WEEK'S SEASON 4 PREMIERE).

For how long are we going to keep seeing Oliver leave and come back?

I get it that fighting bad guys, saving the city, and protecting the ones that you love is all a huge risk when being a hero, but watching it after every season does get tiresome at times. I think that after this season, it will show that maybe he'll stay as the hero for a long time.

Oliver seems to enjoy the retired superhero life with Felicity in a nice neighborhood. Diggle, Laurel, and Speedy are carrying on the Arrow's name while trying to stop a group of guys known as Ghost.

It wasn't until Speedy and Laurel thought Oliver should return that Diggle believed otherwise. He's still upset about what Oliver did to him last season. They ask Oliver for help right when he is about to ask Felicity for her hand in marriage.

Well, Oliver and even Felicity agreed to help. Hell, Felicity has been helping them for a while, and it quite upset Oliver.

It seems like there's a new villain in the city, and his name is Damion Darhk, who has a very supernatural ability; not only freaking Speedy and Black Canary out but also me as well with his sucking the life out of one of his men.

And did you watch Arrow and Darhk's fight that looked like Bane vs. Batman when you seemed to lose your touch in fighting? But the shocker is that Laurel's dad works for Darhk, so that doesn't seem to go down well.

At the end of the episode, we jump to six months, seeing Oliver at a cemetery looking at someone's grave, and along comes The Flash. We never did get a look at it, but my guess is it would be either Felicity or Quentin Lance. At this time in Oliver's life, maybe Felicity should get killed. Hell, I want to see Oliver and Laurel back together. I still think that they are meant to be.

I enjoyed this episode. There were a few things that just got boring from Oliver enjoying his happy, non-superhero life and coming back to become the hero again. But he's Oliver Queen and not Bruce Wayne.

Overall, I give this episode an 8/10

You can catch Arrow on Wednesday nights at 8/7c on The CW.
