The Devil is Coming: Supergirl Regin" Fall Finale

I know, Alex, that thing scares the hell out of me, too.

The first episode that I've been building up for, and by all means, this was an excellent one.

After the previous episode's events (two weeks ago), Kara is still dealing with Mon-El and his wife. Samantha is falling behind on her duties at work and with her daughter, and joining Kara's Christmas party with family and friends seems to calm her down.

As the Christmas party was underway, Kara and J'onn got a call of a message at an area site that had a statement that she knows as a Krypton language. Later, they see more and more of these along with people, one example being a street gang getting killed and even trying to attack Edge.

Kara gets help from Thomas Coville about the messages left there, and he tells her that the world killer is coming and will reign upon them. After seeing the signs from Reign, Kara makes her character, and soon, the call is answered.

Kara and Reign meet for the first time, and after a couple of chats, the two battle it out. From the air to the cargo ship, they fight to the streets, where it becomes a public viewing. Reign gives Kara a run for her money as she gets knocked out pretty well, with blood coming from her head, which surprises her. Kara comes back swinging and gives more, but Reigns comes back with more and takes Kara up to the roof of the building. Kara, defenseless, tells Reign that she's not afraid of her, and soon, Reign gives Kara one final punch and lets her fall to the ground, where she is lifeless.

Alex rushes and gets her back to the DEO in the emergency room, where they had to tube her to help her breathe. There, everyone from Winn, J'onn, Mon-E,l, and all watch as they see the Girl of Steel in serious condition.

Meanwhile, on Christmas Day, Sam's daughter comes down the stairs to see her mom, but her mother is gone and leaves with a frightening ending.

"Reign" was the darkest, most intense episode of the season, let alone the series so far. After this season of the character Reigns, the episode builds up more and more even as Kara learns and finally meets with Reign. Reign is probably one of the darkest villain characters in the series. The performance from Odette Annable was terrific, and her scenes with Melissa Benoist were such a thrill of intensity. The writing of this episode was so good. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Supergirl returns with a new episode on January 15th at 8/7c on The CW. 

Complicated Plan: Superstore "Health Fund" Fall Finale

In the fall finale of Superstore, Cloud 9 takes on health care in a way that shows how difficult it is to make.

When the employees of Cloud 9 discuss methods on clearing an infected ear of Mateo's, everyone strts given their own remedies. Jonah believes that he can make a better health care policy than the one that the company can give, but it soon backfires and Amy and Jonah become the faces of the store's health care policy.

When Amy and Jonah come up with a plan of having two groups (Group A will pay $20 and Group B pay $200), it backfires again and the staff come up with another way with many upon many groups that at one point had one group called World of Fire. But after all of that, Amy and Jonah decides that health care is too complicated and hided in the storm shelter along with Kelly.

Meanwhile, after making fun of Dina getting worked done because she had a mole removed that happened be close to cancer. Glenn thinks that he might have a cancer mole near his penis and tries to get a second opinion. He ask Dina to look at it but couldn't tell and takes a photo of it and send it to her doctor which came back not cancer.

"Health Fund" was a very good and hilarious episode. Between Glenn and his mole and Amy and Jonah's health care policy both stories were quick entertaining and memorable. Even we got to see Sandra really give it to Jonah and Amy like we never seen before. The writing for this episode was very good and strong. I enjoyed every minute of this episode. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Superstore Thursdays at 8/7c on NBC also catch out past episode on the NBC app.
You can catch a special Christmas episode of Superstore Tuesday, Dec. 5 at 9:30/8:30c on NBC.

Mean and Creepy: Superstore "Workplace Bullying"/"Sal is Dead"

"Workplace Bullying"

The Superstore tackles work bullying for all the right reasons.

After trying to stop a robber, Jonah gets bullied by Dina about how he handled the robbery situation by just letting him go by when the robber was polite. After a staff meeting about how to handle the situation and for what ever is worth, Jonah did the right thing by letting the robber go.

But when Jonah talks to Jeff the meeting and then tells him about how Dina was bullying her than things got fro bad to worst. Dina comes at Jonah after she gets her first warning. Soon the two face off in a fight where Jonah had an "accident" when she was on him. The two go come to common ground and Dina still finds him attractive. 

Meanwhile, Amy knows that there has been a trivia night with the co workers for a long time and hasn't been a part of it. She tries her best to get in the group and after getting into the "best friends group" for which she didn't want, she finally gets accepted to the trivia game night but comes to realizes that it starts at 10 pm.

"Workplace Bullying" was pretty funny, mostly comes from Dina and Jonah story over Amy and her trying to get into the Trivia Game Night. From the scene of Dina telling the cop about the robber and found out that Jonah didn't do anything as he let him go to the awkward fight scene outside Cloud 9. Even the ending with Sandra having no walk buddy to walk her to her car and carrying a kazoo was too much. Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

"Sal is Dead" 

In this Halloween episode, a dead body has appeared from inside the walls of Cloud 9, plus Amy tries helps Jonah on his dating app.

When the dead body of Sal has appeared through the wall of Could 9, Glenn tries to cover the body but with no luck and gets a huge crowd looking at it. Having to wait for the Corner to come, Dina picks a guy, who's dressed up as a corner, and takes him to the dead thinking that he really is one.

Mateo is sad that he can't make it to his cousin's wedding int he Philippines and due to his undocumented status Cheyenne find a way to help. Cheyenne gets Sal's passport and fixes Mateo's face to look like Sal. Looking like Sal, Mateo walks around and soon changes into a Sal like character all creepy and such. Mateo soon decides to not go to the wedding and finally taken off the make up as it was really creepy.

Meanwhile, Jonah is checking out the women on the dating app and when Amy takes his phone to give her two cents, she accidentally swipe right to Kelly. Trying to fix it, Amy just makes it worst. Kelly goes after Jonah for what she assumes he texted her but later she and Jonah fool Amy of what she had done.

"Sal is Dead" was a memorable Halloween episode. Not big event episode but still funny with scenes from Mateo becoming Sal to Glenn trying to not get any of the costumers to see the dead body of Sal. Not to mention seeing Amy taking over Jonah's phone and checking women for him, which was probably the one thing I'll remember from this episode. Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10.

You can catch Superstore Thursdays at 8/7c on NBC or catch past episodes on the NBC app. 

Worried and Being Tough: Superstore "Brett Is Dead"/"Part-Time Hires"

"Brett Is Dead"

When learning that one of their co workers had died from the tornado, the Cloud 9 employees morn the lost but another co worker might be dealing with some issues.

When learning that Brett has died, the employees of Cloud 9 put on a memorial for him, dedicated a benched under his name while Sandra sings "Creep" from Radiohead during a rainstorm. Later on Glenn sees that Mateo and Cheyenne are at a lost from losing Brett, but really they just wanted to get out of putting a combo pack together of the Matrix II and III DVDs together.

But a shocking moment comes when Brett is actually alive and they learned that when the tornado was coming that he just ran to his car and drove home. Talk about a tight closure to that story.

Meanwhile, with the rainstorm pouring through, Dina acts pretty unusually and when thunder and lighting comes, she announced everyone in the store to head to the new storm shelter, even grabbing a old lady and carrying her. Amy figures out why and when asked Glenn about it, he gets the staff together for a meeting about trauma events. 

But Amy tries talking to Dina about the trauma and instead of just learning about the tornado event, she gets a whole floods worth of stories that has really trauma her long ago from the 1994 Olympics to even not learning to not give chocolate to a dog at six years old.

"Brett Is Dead" was another hilarious episode that had so many good and memorable moments from the Brett's memorial to even Jonah trying to figure out how Garrett got to be in a wheelchair, not to mention talking with Myrtle about her time she had an affair with Ozzie Smith that really wasn't the St. Louis Cardinals player that she thought it was.  America Ferrera and Lauren Ash were amazing in this episode. Not to mention Nicole Bloom and Nico Santos' characters (Cheyenne and Mateo) shined in this episode as well and showed a lot of dun chemistry. Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10,

"Part-Time Hires" 

When Amy's daughter is working at Cloud 9, she wonders if she should try to be the tough parent of the favorite parent.

When Amy's daughter, Emma, has come to work at Cloud 9 for part time. As Amy tries to give some tough love with her but when she sees that she's texting her dad and having fun plans, she tries to change her plans. From letting the floor very wet (getting a co-work to slip and fell) to yelling and protecting her from a customer who wanted floor cleaner, Amy tries her best to do what it takes to be her daughter's best friend, but comes to realizes that it's probably not the best. Jonah tries to be tough on Emma and got Glenn going off on him, which was hilarious.

Meanwhile, Mateo flirts with one of the construction workers. Just when he thinks that he's got him, Cheyenne thinks that the guy is playing Mateo just to get stuff, like for one to use their employee bathroom. Turns out to be true when the guy comes to Cheyenne's rescue for putting large bags of ice in the freezer.

And not to mention, Dina comes clean to Garrett about she's seeing a therapist and thinks that their relationship should come to an end. When Garrett agrees, he didn't suspect that it would become a huge break up and having everyone feel sorry for him. Garrett freaks out and tries to get Dina to agree that she didn't break up with him that they broke it up in an agreeable terms. But Dina got him back later.

"Part-Time Hires" was another good episode that just had many good moments of hilariousness. One being of course, Glenn yelling at Jonah after he gets on Emma's butt about stocking tuna in the wrong aisle. Another was really the performer Kelly Stables, who happens to be another new employee, Kelly, but no one once to acknowledge her and she tries her best to due her best. The writing was very good for this episode. Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Superstore Thursdays at 8/7c on NBC or catch episodes streaming now on the NBC App.

Fast and Caution: Superstore "Grand-Re-Opening" Season Premiere

In the season premiere of Superstore, it's the grand reopening and the staff and the store is not quite ready to open yet.

After the events in the season finale, Amy tries to avoid Jonah when they get back to work. Jonah tries to confront Amy about the kiss but she doesn't. It takes until they are assigned to be the Minions for the opening that they finally talked that it was at a moment in time when things were not looking go (because hell there was a tornado hitting the store). Amy tells Jonah that she's getting a divorce from Adam and that it happened the day after the tornado. The two seems to be back in that friend zone again.

While the store is about ready, Glenn gets word that the opening is actually today and gets everyone to work as quick as they can. As everyone works as fast as they can, Glenn didn't realize that his voice is pretty high when he speaks and tries to figure out how to change his voice before he has to speak during the opening, for which didn't work and just kept his voice at a low pitch when the ceremony was going on.

One of the highlights of the episode comes when Dina meets Howie Mandel for the first time and thinks that he is a new employee but he's there to make a celebrating guest appearance. And just as she know who Mandel was, she still treated him like an employee and still made him work.

"Grand Re-Opening" was fun, hilarious and memorable episode. Loved the performance between America Ferrera and Ben Feldman and even the scenes of Laura Ash with Mandel were just memorable. Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Superstore Thursdays at 8/7c on NBC or streaming now on the NBC App. 

Stranger Things Renewed For Season 3

Well, it looks we're going to be getting more awesome eighties references because Netflix announced on Friday that they've renewed Stranger Things for a third season.

 The series co-creators the Duffer Brothers had previously confirmed that a potential third season would make a time jump ahead of a year to 1985, when the aforementioned classics ruled the box office.

"Even if we wanted to hop into the action faster, we couldn't," said Matt Duffer, when he told The Hollywood Reporter. "Our kids are aging, We can only write and produce the show so fast. They're going to be almost a year older by the time we start shooting Season 3...(so) it forces you to do a time jump."

The Duffer Brothers also hinted that Season 3 would feature a rematch between Mind Flyer and Eleven, telling THR that the shadow monster is "very much aware of the kids, and particularly Eleven. It had not encountered her and her powers until that final episode. Now it knows that she's out there."

Stranger Things' season two was, by all account, a smashing success. Although Netflix doesn't release any viewership data, Nielsen reported that a total of 15.8 million people watched the first episode during it's first three days of availability (starting Oct. 27th), putting it right on par with The Walking Dead's recent Live+3 DVR numbers.

Returning for Season 3 are series regulars Winona Ryder (Joyce), David Harbour (Jim), Finn Wolfhand (Mike), Noah Schnapp (Will), Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin), Cara Buono (Karen), Natalia Dyer (Nancy), Charlie Heaton (Jonathan), Joe Keery (Steve) Dacre Montgomery (Billy) and Sadie Sink (Max).

There are no information on the episode count for season 3. The first two seasons were consisted of eight and nine episodes. Maybe we'll get ten episodes?

You can catch the first two seasons of Stranger Things available on Netflix now.

Fear: Chicago Med "Nothing to Fear"

This week's episode dealt with one doctor coping with what seemed to be a mistake and another not seeing the clear picture of a patient even though she might be right. And a relationship is once again close to dangerous territory.

After a few late nights being up with Robin, Rhodes learns that the patient from the last week of his heart stint was leaking. It drew Rhodes to find out what went wrong, and looked like hell to prove it, too. Latham orders him away from the case, but of course, this is Rhodes, and later tells the patient that the surgery to fix the stent is slim to none to survive. Latham and Bekker do the surgery while Rhodes is benched for any surgery. But looking at the view from the screen, Rhodes sees that the stint is ineffective.

April and Ethan's relationship goes up again when April's patient comes in just for medicine, but Ethan wants to do some tests and workup to make sure. That turns into a genuine love fest when Ethan does more and more tests, and it upsets April that he asks for her opinion about it, too. While this was happening, Maggie could see the tension between them and pull them like a mother bear would do to their young and threaten to pull them away if they couldn't work together. Soon, Ethan gets the test results that Aprl's patient has lung cancer and asks April to inform him about it because the patient feels comfortable.

#Manstead seems alive and kicking as Natalie and Will plan to go out on their first date. But before that, they treat a patient who is eight months pregnant but shows about five months. The patient has been very healthy and has not used any foods that have been made and such. Will and Natalie try to nourish her well, but she won't allow it. Natalie does try to give the patient treatment but fights and almost comes to a lawsuit. Natalie gave one more shot while the patient was having heart trouble and got her to consent to do an emergency c-section, which was successful, and the baby was given meds, fluids, and such.

Natalie and Will go on their date but miss their dinner, and instead, Will takes her to ride the Ferris wheel. This was after Natalie gave a heartfelt speech about fear. And as the wheel moves, the two then kiss.

With all that, Reese and Charles seem to be on excellent but separate terms. Reese gets a patient who happens to inject insulin into herself. The patient seemed nice and told Reese that she didn't mean to do it and said she was stressed over the divorce hearing. But when the patient asked Reese for a medical note, Reese wouldn't do it, and the patient turned from pleasant to a Mrs. Hyde and demeaned to talk to Dr. Charles.

Dr. Charles sees that the patient needs to be heard by Reese, and when she does back and talks to her again, the two make up and hug. Later, Reese seemed to lose her medical pad and saw that the patient was leaving quickly, so she stopped and found her pad in the patient's purse.

Reese is upset about what the patient has done and expresses it to Charles. Charles sees that the event of him getting shot by Kellogg got her emotions on high, which we can understand. Even Charles tries to calm her down by reviewing his medical chart after the shooting and tells her that what she's feeling will pass, and well, that may not be the at all the end when the patient seems to slash her tires.

"Nothing to Fear" was another excellent episode. The performances of every one were outstanding, and the writing was strong and intense at times. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch Chicago Med Tuesdays at 10/9c on NBC.
