After the fall finale ending, Reign makes her way in the city delivering justice with no mercy, can Kara wake up before things get out of hand?

We jump two days after the events of the fall finale to find Kara in a coma and yet in a subconscious dream of where she feels comfortable: her loft. She soon gets a visitor, Brainiac 5 to help guide Kara out of her dream, but when it turns out that she can't get out, she must find a way out.

Meanwhile, Reign makes her way in National City in a big way, calling everyone that she's only here to bring justice and show no mercy to those that do crime. With Mon El and his Legion team can't help, Alex and J'onn do what they have to do to stop her, even it is using a secret kryptonite weapon.

After failing, Mon-El and team step up and battle with Reign in the oldest fashion battle: playing with Bon Jovi in the background. As the battle presses on, Kara notice Brainaic 5 talking battle tactics while still in her dream and after he tells her what's going on, she finds the way out of accepting that Kara is loved over Supergirl and wakes up.

Soon, Kara comes in and battles with Reign again, but quickly stabs Reign in the neck with the kryptonite weapon and runs off. Reign then is healed at her own fortress, until she learns that she has a team and one person that could also help Conville. 

Kara comes with peace with Mon-El and thanks them for their help. Her and Alex talk about their thoughts on the events that just happened.

"Legion of Superheroes" was a good episode that had balance of humor and intense drama at times. Brainaic 5 brings in the comedic side to the story and I very much enjoyed watching him working along Kara of the others. J'onn's scene with Lena was another classic moment as he had to fill in for Kara while in a coma. As much as he hates it, we love it. The story was very good at times as it showed out hero trying to get out of her subconscious mind. All she needed was to realized that she's loved over Supergirl. The performance from the cast was amazing, mostly Jesse Rath as Brainaic 5 that really stole the episode.

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

You can catch Supergirl Mondays at 8/7c on The CW.

After last week's episode, seems that Weller and Jane's relationship might be in trouble.

After Weller told Jane about how he killed her daughter, things don't seem to be well with them as she takes her way over his way during a new mission when a couple of nuclear weapons were stolen. When they figured out who was the one that got them in, they take him in and he spills that they have his kid and threaten him if he don't obey their orders.

After a couple of missteps, Weller and the team get on track and tracked down where the boy was at and saved him, but Jane gets shot pretty badly but nothing through the vest. But they get another shot that lead them to an airport and just missed the aircraft that left, expect Weller is on it and tries to stop the bomb. After the bomb is stopped, the suspect still arms the weapon with her remote and drops it down, but Weller killers the suspect and dives off to stop the weapon with the remote.

After all of that, when Weller meets with Jane at home, she tells him that she can't be with him and gives him his ring and walks out. But another shocking moment comes at the end when a girl was revealed to be Jane's daughter that apparently most of come back to life.

"Hot Burning Flames" was a good episode, good storyline mostly focusing on Weller and Jane's relationship and the shocking moment at the end. Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

Come on, you loved this episode too. Probably one of your favorites?

This might be my favorite episode of the season if you want to watch a very entertaining episode of Blindspot.

Image result for Blindspot "Upside Down Craft"

"Upside Down Craft"

After last week's episode, this one was really one to laugh over.

When Jane and Weller arrest a financial tycoon, his lawyer says that his client was framed by an anonymous hacking group known as the Three Blind Mice. When we learn that Patterson and Rich Dotcom were the former members of the group, but there's a third member out there, Kathy, who has been causing the hacks.

When the FBI questions Kathy, Patterson works her magic and uses a backdoor in the app that she created to help prove Loewe is guilty or corporate sabotage. But soon Kathy realizes that Patterson and Rich were the other Mice and kidnaps them and tries to force them to perform criminal hacks. But Patterson manages to get a signal to Weller's team to rescue them.

Even thought Reade has suspicion that Patterson and Rich were the other members of the Mice, he didn't go forward in pursing them due to lack of evidence and suggest that Jane's new tattoos were to intended to reveal secrets the teams needs to keep hidden.

Later, Patterson continues to investigate the tattoo that Stuart was working on and found out that it was a linked to Van Gogh.

"Upside Down Craft" might be one of my favorite Patterson-Doctom episodes with their rich and comedic chemistry of characters. The episode holds up to be very good in storytelling and not to mention keep you engage to their story. Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

"Gunplay Ricochet"

"Gunplay Ricochet" was another good hour of television that had not just one but a few very shocking reveals about Jane when they meet a man that they're going after and the most shocking news of all: Jane has a child. And questions begins to ask about how loyal can Reade be when Zapata sees  him with Secretary of State.

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

Welcome to The Bad Place: The Good Place "Chapter 4: Rhonda Diana, Jake and Trent"

Related image



As the gang gets to the Bad Place, they must pass as on of their own and get into the portal to see the judge. What could possibility go wrong, right?

As Eleanor, Michael and the gang headed to the Bad Place, Michael tells them the plan of how they'll go and get to the portal to see the judge. But they must wear disguises to look like one of them: Tahani as Rhonda, Eleanor as Diana, Jason as Jake Brotles and Chidi as Trent. As they get there, Michael places them in the museum of the first to go into the bad place so they could wait there while he go get the pins that will get them through the portal. Thinking that no one would be coming in there, think again as a celebration would happen soon and Eleanor and the gang would have to mingle.

Meanwhile, Michael meets with Shaun about his plans to go to the judge, but Shaun denies it and shows him what he has in store for the humans. Going to a board room with other board members, Shaun tells Michael that he send a team to go to middle place to get the humans but instead they find Mindy with Derek having fun. As Shaun finds out that the humans weren't there, Michael sneaks out with some of the board members jackets that has those pens.

As Michael runs back to Eleanor and the gang, they happen to see what the celebration was about: the success of the good place and the four robotic copies of themselves. And just as Michael gets to them, some of the people that recognized them and soon Shaun gets there as well. In a sticky situation, the one man saves them as Jason pulls one of his cocktails that he says works and used it to get away.

As they get to the portals, Michael gives three of the pens to Tahani, Jason and Chidi and as they all went in, Michael couldn't find a forth one. That was until Shaun was coming and decides to pull off the Trolley problem and gave Eleanor his pen and pushes her off into the portal.

"Rhonda, Diana, Jake and Trent" was a fun half hour episode that brought a lot of witty comedy of it's props of the Bad Place from iHop to Axe spray (don't try the new Transformers as it smells sweaty and confused) and not to mention the Bad Place museum. Watching the characters blend in with the folks of the bad place was a step up for Chidi, even though he hates to lie, he really just lied with the truth of what torches someone the best: books.

The episode still holds up to be good and still keeps you guessing thinking that they might all go through the portal. But when they do, a surprise and emotional move from Michael in sacrificing his own pen to give to Eleanor and stay behind.

What happens next? Eleanor seems to be the leader of the group now with the guidance of Janet. Will they move on or go back to save Michael? Will we see Michael again? Many questions to ask and just a couple of weeks left for the season.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch The Good Place Thursdays at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.
