Risky Girl's Trip: Supergirl "Fort Rozz"

Talk about a risky girls' trip that ended with a surprising sacrifice.

To get information about Reign, Supergirl has to meet with someone who happens to be in Fort Rozz, the prison ship that Supergirl and J'onn got rid of. But Kara couldn't go in by herself because where the boat is located, there is no sun. So that leads her to bring Saturn, Girl, Psi and Livewire along for the journey.

The trip at first was a bumpy one for all, but after Psi accidentally used her power on Saturn Girl, Kara puts the straps back on. But the Rozz was soon getting pulled into the star; Saturn tries to get a connection to the DEO, while Kara and Livewire look for Jindah Kol Rozz and get a couple of words from her til Reign is there and kills Rozz.

Soon, Livewire fights Reign and gives her a jolt of electricity, but when she is down and Reign is about to attack Kara, Leslie sacrifices and takes the shot from Reign. But Psi makes it there and gives Reign something to consider: fear. And that let her show her emotions and run away. But leaving Kara to attend with Leslie, who dies from the laser shot from Reign, Kara and Leslie have an unfortunate and emotional moment.

Meanwhile, with Alex still with a broken leg, she babysits Ruby for Samantha while she's on a business trip she never went. As they had some fun, Alex helped Ruby with a cyberbullying problem that had her confront the bully and made her almost crap her pants. But while she was assisting Ruby, Ruby was helping her deal with Maggie after texting her about her passport. But after a lovely time babysitting, she sees that Samantha isn't herself as Sam tells her that she doesn't remember going on the business trip.

"Fort Rozz" was a good and sad episode, as, yes, Livewire died. Livewire was one of my favorite villains in the Supergirl series. I didn't think this would be her endgame, but maybe she will come back (with fingers crossed because the Superhero series seems to have that soap opera coming back to life). Samantha's true self emerges in Reign when Psi gives her a mindset of fear of losing Ruby.

Rozz tells Kara that there are more World Killers like Reign living on Earth, and at the end of the episode, we see one of them as she survives a car accident when the car smashes her between another vehicle—a true sign of things to come and building very well.

I enjoyed this episode a lot. The writing was well done and given a sad twist with Livewire. The performance from Benoist, Morgan, Amy Jackson, and Grobgias was excellent, and Jesse Rath and Jeremy Jordan stole some scenes with their way of handling hilarious things. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10

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

Black Lightning "The Resurgence" Series Premiere

After watching the pilot of The CW's latest DC Comic series Black Lightning, it left me jolting for more (no pun intended).

"The Resurgence" opens up the story of Jefferson Pierce, who's been retired from his duty as Black Lightning nine years ago after seeing the effects of what it had on his family, returns to being the vigilante again after seeing what the community has become with his daughter arrested for protesting, getting pulled over for a crime that he didn't commit due to racial tensions.

But the final straw that made him return was his daughters, Jennifer and Anissa, gets into trouble and kidnapped from Will, a member of the local gang called 100. Jefferson reunites with Gambi, his mentor and friend, and helps him become Black Lightning with a new suit. After rescuing them, couldn't find Will's boss Lala.

But Lala got picked up and brought to the head of the 100, Tobias Whale. Whale gives Lala instructions to kill Black Lightning.

The final scene of the episode ends with Anissa, who's suffering from the trauma that she'd witness, activates her own powers that causes her to break the sink in half. 

The episode really got me interesting in the show. I may not know a lot about Black Lightning but after watching the pilot, I'm interested in learning and seeing where the show takes the characters. The show got a lot of attitude and really depicts the real world social issues. Cress Williams is amazing in the pilot and not to mention just watching Marvin "Krondon" Jones III as Tobias Whale was pretty stunning. And James Remar as Peter Gambi, Jefferson's mentor and friend, gives a good performance and portrays the character like an Alfred type.  Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Black Lightning Tuesdays at 9/8c on The CW.

Wake Up!! Supergirl "Legion of Superheroes" Mid-season Premiere

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.

Greg takes that as an accomplishment because his dad never lied to him.

"Good Friends Auction Fog" was an excellent episode. Three of the four stories in this episode stood out, while the other was a lightweight story. "The fourth story stood out along with the first story. The performances from the cast were good. Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10.

Can't Be With You Blindspot "Hot Burning Flames"

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.

And not to mention that when Vance was put in Witness Protection, she gets killed shorty after telling Weller that Hirst knows that they've been investigating her.

This episode was on thrill ride from beginning to end with the Hirst storyline coming into place. By the end of the episode, I wanted to get to the next episode quickly. Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

"City Folks Under Wraps (Fall Finale)"
