"Not Kansas" 

After Reign breaks free, Kara and Mon-El give Lena the meteor just in time to break a piece and use it against Reign to killer her off. But will that be the last time?

After Reign is gone, Sam is back to what seems to be normal. Kara tells Alex that she found her mother and had decided to go back with her. After what assume to be a tearful goodbye at times, Kara leaves with Mon-El to Argo City. Everything looks to be back to normal, but strange things come around and it gets Kara to question this person.

After what is assume to be a mistake, it's not as the same person has an droid attacking Kara and Mon-El and learned that ending Reign is not what it all seems to be, which has Coville waiting for the arrival.

Meanwhile, J'onn and the team takes a close look at gun control as a fire arm is sold to a civilian and plans to use it for revenge.

But there's another moment as Alex might be thinking of adoption too.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Searching for Answers: Supergirl "Shelter from the Storm"/"The Fanatical"/"Dark Side of the Moon"

"Shelter from the Storm"

The hunt is on for Reign as she's trying to find Ruby.

Reign attacks Lena and James in search for Ruby, after Lena uses her man-made kryptonite on her, she runs away. After telling and showing Kara, it doesn't put them on good speaking terms until the it helped take down Reign.

Lena tells Kara and Alex where Ruby is staying: Lex's mansion that's been protected from the world. Alex heads over there and stays with Ruby, until Ruby makes a phone call to her mother which brings Reign over.

Just before Kara moves in, Mon-El and Brainaic comes back to help and finish the mission. Mon-El and Kara stops Reign with the help of Lena's kryptonite that Mon-El uses in the machine gun.

After the capture of Reign, Alex confronts Ruby that what she saw wasn't her mother, but tells her that she won't lie to her to protect her anymore. It looks like Kara forgives and thanks Lena for the help but even though it looked like things look well for them. That is until Kara meets with Lena on their way to see Ruby and Lena tells her that Supergirl crossed the line and can't trust her.

We are left with a cliffhanger of Tonya, a Conville follower, taken the Coville's journal.

This was another amazing episode. There were many moments from Lena and Supergirl back and forth on what's right and wrong to the moments of when J'onn ask for his father's help, most of his memory is almost not there anymore. Even coming up with Coco Coffee, which I'm up for.

Overall, I give this episode a8/10.

"The Fanatical"

As Kara talks to James about Lena's mistrust in Supergirl, Tonya brings them Coville's journal to give to Supergirl. But when Olivia comes in looking for Tonya, she plays James and kidnaps her. Guardian chases them and fights them til James gets shot blowing off his mask and the cops come, but escapes with Tonya.

Olivia demands James to release Tonya or they'll release video that he's Guardian. It brings a bit of fear and deja vu to James as he tells Lena about his first time getting handcuffed by the cops.

Kara and Mon-El investigate Coville's cult place and seeing remnants of a nuclear explosion. They look into Coville's journal and Kara realizes that the cult is trying to make a new Worldkiller using Harun-El ( a small black krytonite staute).

After coming to terms, Tonya gives herself up to the cult and brings Mon-El. Soon, Olivia starts the ritual to transform herself into a Worldkiller, Mon-El sends a signal to Supergirl to locate where they are at.

After a brief fight, Kara reasons with Olivia enough for her to give up the desire to be a Worldkiller. But when the statute couldn't come off her hand, Kara uses her leaser vision to take it off and ice breath to cool her hand.

Later on, Winn and Lena find more about the Harun-El, which can be used to help Sam, on a meteor. But when Reign's power over the kryptonite is overpowering, Kara and Mon-El deiced to take J'onn's spaceship and headed over there as fast as they can.

Also Alex tries to cheer up Ruby, who's still dealing about her mother. When nothing seems to work, both Alex and J'onn take Ruby and J'onn's father to an arcade place. After things not going so well, Ruby and J'onn's father bonded while playing Foosball.

I thought this episode was simply amazing. The one moment that really stood out was the Ruby and Alex but Ruby and J'onn's father too. It was just a beautiful performance and so well written.

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

"Dark Side of the Moon"

As Kara and Mon-El reach the meteor, they discover there is a city on it. They get attacked by the caretaker droids but uses disguises to blend in while traveling through the city towards the rock.

Kara realizes that the meteor is a surviving part of Krypton (Argo City) and discovers that her mother is alive. Alura arranges for a meeting of their High Council to discuss the issues of the Harun-El, as it is sues to sustain the life and security of the city.

Kara manages and convinces the members to give her a small quantity of it to defeat Reign. But later, Selena, a member, is revealed to be the Dark Priestess.

Meanwhile, Alex is attacked while spending time with Ruby. She believes the suspect is the killer sheriff her and Kara helped capture ten years ago, but a second attempt is made on her life. J'onn sets a trap for the killer posing as Alex but he targets the real Alex before she captures him.

As Kara and Mon-El come back at L-Crop, Reign's immunity increases to Lena's Kryptonite and escapes the containment.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

Secrets Come Out: Supergirl "Of Two Minds"/"Trinity"

"Of Two Minds"

After the end of the previous episode of seeing birds dying around the city, now it's an epidemic in National City as the people are infected. With everyone having a scratch on them, they try to figure out the source. But when that source they found turns up dead, it leads up to someone that is know as Pestilence.

Figuring out who, Pestilence is a doctor named Grace, Supergirl, Mon-El and Imra go after her, not only to try to take her down, but to get her DNA for treatment that's still needed as Wen and Alex are infected too.

The battle stops as Kara gets scratched, but also Imra gets Pestilence's DNA before Purity came and stopped the party to rescued her. 

As Wen, Alex and Kara are all well, they try to track down Purity with her sonic sound and it leads to L-Crop. That's where Lena has been trying to find a cure to help Sam but just as Kara and the team get there, the World Killers unite and it looks like Lena has some explaining to do.

"Of Two Minds" was an amazing episode from the storyline of Sam and Lena to Sam facing Reign. ut I really enjoyed the face to face of different opinions of Kara and Imra, who are trying to figure out a way to stop these guys: either talk or to fight.

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

"Trinity"

Holy Hell! Talk about a thrilling ending to say the least.

Lena talks to Kara, Mon-El, Alex and the rest about her helping Sam and why she did it. It builds a distrust to Kara that Lena. Learning that there's a way to be connected with Sam, both Kara, Alex and Lena were sent to Julu, a Kryptonian Valley, thanks to Brainaic.

There Sam and Julia try to find a way to remember who they are to fight against their counterparts. As Kara and the team found them, Sam fights Reign, switching back to her own body and gives the signal to where they are located. Brainaic brings back Alex, Lena and Kara and head there to fight, with Alex getting a kick-ass new suit and gun.

As they battled the World Killers, all seems to be going the Killers way til Kara and Alex get Julia to come back and fight against Reign and Purity. But Purity tries to kill Julia but still uses her powers to kill her and as they died their powers embodied Reign and she escapes.

It seems that Lena and Kara are in good speaking terms, while James tells Lena that he's Guardian and also looked into her office to find more Kryptonite. But that he lied to Supergirl about not finding anymore as he didn't eve look in the vault. Lena tells him that it was made not from Lex's keeping.

Meanwhile, Reign comes to terms that to get rid of Sam, she'll have to take out her daughter. As Sam is still trapped in Julu and in pain.

"Trinity" was a well written episode that had many moments from Lena and Kara to the World Killers fighting one another. Even the big moment of James opening up to Lena about his secret and his trust for her.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

Blindspot Season 3 Recap

Season Three of Blindspot had raised the bar! Here's a recap!

From the season two finale, we jump into flashbacks of Jane and Weller's wedding; We see in the present of Weller looking for Jane. The FBI ask for Weller's help and as he rejoins the FBI to fine Jane. Weller learns that Reade is in charge. And Zapata, who's working for the CIA,; who comes to help.

As Weller fines Jane and take on bounty hunters; in the classic taken down fashion like they do.  Then new tattoos appeared on Jane's body. Roman wants them to solve them. It becomes a real cat and mouse brother-sister style with the tattoos that leads to many, many shocking twist and turns with two of the main ones: 1. Looking for Crawford and 2. Jane has/has a daughter.

Let's start with Crawford as he's one of the powerful businessman in the world. Roman does his thing by portraying someone in his security and gets in a love interest with Crawford's daughter, Blake. There was a much bigger reason why Roman wants Jane and Weller to take down Crawford. As Roman gains Crawford's trust and tries to get Jane, Weller and the FBI to take him down.

What Weller and the team didn't know was that their FBI Director Hirst is working for Crawford on the inside to stop the investigation. She tries to get Reade to drop some of the cases and even threaten him to do task. 

The second thing was that Jane has a daughter. Roman isn't the only one who knows about Jane's daughter. Weller knows too. He confronts Jane about his encounter with her. And when they were checking out suspicious activity, she got caught in crossfire from Weller's gun. Jane didn't take that too well and walked away from him.

Soon, they found Jane's daughter, Avery. And after they rescued her; it wasn't the warmest reunion to see. But the two grew closer and even adding Weller to the mix things were all good. They even tried to work together going against Crawford.

As the team goes after Crawford and Jane kills him. Jane hunts down Roman, who dies as she gets there just in time to say goodbye. Soon,, Jane, who's been suffering from the side-effects from the memory drug, is hospitalized but when she wakes up, she's not the Jane we all knew as Remi is back.
Season 3 of Blindspot was literally one of the best seasons so far. The character development was so strong and even the writing so as amazing the previous season. There were so many moments, Reade and Zapata opening up their feelings for one another, Patterson and Dot Com working together, even Patterson's Groundhog Day episode "Everlasting." David Morse was the perfect choice to play Crawford, as he can play a guy with such a dark side.  Overall, I give the season a 8.9/10.

I literally can't wait for the new season to start tonight. Remi is back and now I'm guessing we're gonna see the real her now.

You can catch the season premiere of Blindspot tonight at 8/7c on NBC

Life Decisions: This Is Us "Katie Girls"

Life decisions are made in this episode of This Is Us.

"Katie Girls" is an excellent episode where it dives into life changing decisions and facing the fears of those decisions. From diving back to Rebecca's past of meeting Alan, the man who came to her door in the last episode. But after thinking that she has a future with Alan, she spots Jack at the store and later visits him at his mother's friend's house and does the dishes together.

Kate, who's having IVF procedure, worries about what would happen if she doesn't come out of it. But when she's under, she meets not only her teenage self, but her preteen self and her dad. After debating, Kate fights back and comes out of her anesthesia. And she gets the best news that they found eight eggs. So the chances of having a baby are really good. But not hoping for Octomom, Toby!

Kevin's movie is a hit and made everyone including Randall cry. During an interview with Terry Gross, he gets asked about Jack and his experience in Vietnam. It starts Kevin to hunt for answers and found photos and a name that he calls Mr. Thompson.

After a week goes by from Randall argued with Kate about passing on a piece of dad to talking to the city councilman Brown about the recreational center. Randall tries to apologies to Kate and flies over there to be with her and Toby. After Kate's surgery, Randall gets word about Sky getting attacked by the recreational center.  As he came back home, he thinks he's going to run against Brown. But Beth gives him more news that she got fired from her job.

This was another excellent episode that had many emotional moments whether it's Kate worrying about the surgery to her talking to her past lives and her dad. Rebecca and Jack had some solid moments; mainly when they are together at the store and talking about their dreams. Kevin and his flashbacks to when Jack yelled at him when he was throwing a toy grenade at a toy store and Jack apologies to him about it. The performances from the cast in this episode was amazing that each and everyone one of them played a equal amount of making this episode special. Even the writing as well was outstanding.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch This Is Us Tuesdays at 9/8c on NBC.

New Amsterdam: A Healthcare worth the Change

If you haven't seen the new medical drama, New Amsterdam, why haven't you?

The Ryan Eggold-lead drama has airs Tuesdays 10/9c on NBC.  It really has caught on with me. In a way it's like if you take This Is Us and ER, you get New Amsterdam.

The show follows the new medical director, Dr. Max Goodwin , taking on the healthcare system and flip it upside down. He wants the physicians, nurses and everyone to be there for the sick, no matter if they have insurance or not. But Goodwin has a secret that could be life or death.

  There are characters like Dr. Laura Bloom (played by Janet Montgomery), as an ER attending, who's also determine to treat patients the best way possible. There are other classy characters from  Dr. Helen Sharpe (played by Freema Aygeman), who's part PR and part doctor but is learning what it means to be a doctor.  And one of my favorites,  Dr. Iggy Frome (played by Tyler Labine) who's a psychiatrist attending at the hospital. 

New Amsterdam brings that classic medical drama but breaths new life with such rich and well developed stories and characters. Unlike with ER , we see characters/patients from the beginning to the end, whether it's a happy ending or not. Ryan Eggold is amazing and brings something special in this show, something inspiring. If you haven't seen this show, it's a must see on your to do list Tuesday nights.

And good news for today, the show got picked up for a full season.

You can catch New Amsterdam Tuesdays at 10/9c on NBC.
