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.

Moving Up: Superstore "Managers' Conference"/"Shadowing Glenn" Fall Finale

Image result for superstore managers conference



"Managers' Conference" 

When Glenn gives up two tickets to a Cloud 9 managing conference, Amy and Jonah take it after learning it's an all-paid trip with the works. As they get there, it is his to get in, but Jeff gets them in by sneaking them in with other IDs. As they try to leave, Amy learns that the managers get free stuff and take advantage of it.

Jonah tells Amy that she should go for a manager position, and after meeting a couple of managers who don't think their workers should get high wages. After that, ma, maybe she should go for a managing position.

Garrett and Dina fight over who can wrap gifts for their customers best. As soon as they had the perfect wrapping on a blessing, they were done.

Glenn asked Mateo for his social security number,r as it showed in the records that it belonged to someone else. This worried Mateo that this could be the last we see him. But when Glenn asked again, Mateo gave him another set of numbers, and when Glenn checked it out, it was right.

"Managers' Conference" was a hilarious episode that felt like a fall finale. This episode should have ended up being the fall finale with the Christmas moment of Glenn helping Mateo. From Garrett and Dina to Mateo and Cheyenne, I couldn't get enough of watching these rich and well-developed characters play to each other. Good writing and performance make the frecareeres as good as they would be in an episode of Superstore. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

"Shadowing Glenn" Fall Finale

In the fall finale, Amy decides to go for managing training and asks Glenn for approval. But he decides to train her in the comedy version of Karate Kid. He teaches her what he knows, but Amy doesn't think she needs to know all this since she thinks she knows what to do.

That was until Amy made a mistake with one of the orders and tried to get the shippers to ship them back. But Glenn comes and saves the day and gets the other orders returned.

Cheyenne and Mateo decide to go into the business together and come up with a funny name, Cheateo. It may or may not work. But I would think it would be fun.

Meanwhile, Dina is looking for a new career and gets Jonah to help after he was the one who called out while Amy watched Glenn's managing video. After turning down almost every job, there might be one that she would be good at.

"Shadowing Glenn" was a well-written, well-performed episode. The cast puts on a tremendous performance. Amy and Glenn's storyline gives that Karate Kid at work feel to it. Lauren Ash's performance was terrific, And even Cheyenne and Mateo's storyline could beat its best this season with them working together to run their own business. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Superstore when they return in March next year and catch up with episodes on NBC.com and the NBC app.

When Louis and Jessica have dinner with Amy Chestnut, she gives Louis a Dear John letter from her husband Matt. It said that he's left for another job at Dollywood. This gets Louis to think over his employees that have gone from his restaurant and decides to bring Eddie onboard to work with him. But Eddie still has a job at the mattress store and turns him down.

When Eddie gets a promotion, it doesn't turn out the way he had hoped. To make things even worst for him, when he comes back to work with his father.

Evan learns about being funny, something that he's not quite known for. He tries the same joke over and over with Emery until he starts learning from Grandma and pulls off the old step on the rake routine. It worked on Emery and even on Louis too.

"Where Hava All the Cattleman Gone?" was a good episode. Angela Kinsey brought a little bit of her "Office" character to the show, which was hilarious. Kinsey and Constance Wu play well off each other in this episode. Also, I couldn't get the song "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" out of my head after watching this episode. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

Chasing Your Heart: Chicago Fire "Always a Catch" Fall Finale

Image result for Chicago Fire always a catch



The fall finale of Chicago Fire is not only a hyperdrive of drama but also has a cliffhanger for the other Chicago shows. Here's a recap!

The episode started as usual: he laughed, and even Bodens showed his love for Tuesday the dog. That was until Cruz was on the phone with Chloe, who was about to get donuts for the crew, and she got into an accident on the highway. When 51 gets there, it's probably one of the most significant pileup accidents since Chicago Med season two's "Cold Front" episode.

Getting there, Cruz could only search for Chloe. Moving down from vehicle to vehicle, he finally sees her badly hurt. After the team gets her out and into the Med chopper, Cruz and the team get to Med as fast as they can, and the only thing they can do is wait. Cruz informs Chloe's parents about her condition at Med and plays the waiting game. Fast-forwarding: Chloe wakes up and kisses Cruz, but Cruz learns from Chloe's mother that he's been the best thing for her for a long time.

Severide and Kidd's relationship could be in trouble even before they could put a year on it. Kidd learns from Tyler that Severide has been jealous of having him around her. She confronts Severide about it and responds that he's not, but she has known Severide for a long time, and he has a history of jealousy. But this time, he's not looking out for her, as it's Tyler trying to win Kidd back for him. The episode leaves Severide eating pizza while Kidd hangs out with Tyler at the bar.

After a heroic call and switching vehicles to get a child to Med, Foster meets with a familiar face. Foster gets an opportunity to go back and become a doctor, but after talking with Boden, she decides to stay as a paramedic because she believes that's what she should do. Cheers to that!

After seeing Cruz's relationship with Chloe, Brett decides to go for it with Kyle and asks him for dinner. When she asked him, his response was yes.

Casey and Namoi take their relationship to a new level. After interviewing the company's family accused of those trailer home fires and receiving threats, Namoi makes a counterpoint threat and leaves with Casey excitedly. Later, Casey moves their relationship to the next level. After they fall asleep, Casey wakes up and sees a fire in the apartment that seems to come from the scene from the Super Bowl episode of This Is Us. But it leaves us with a cliffhanger to hang on to til January.

"Always a Catch" was an exciting, character development-driven episode. It felt like a movie-sized hour episode that held nothing back for viewers to see good and bad things. The pileup scene gave me chills from the crossover event early this season. This will be the end for Kidd and Severide. Kidd will realize that Tyler has been messing with them. But I also believe if she doesn't know it, Severide will do something. The happy moments go to Brett, Cruz, Chloe, and Foster. Not to mention Boden and Tuesday. As much as I would love to slap Casey for taking his relationship to a new level so quickly. I'm slightly okay with it. But leaving them in that situation of trapped fire, will one of them live? I can't wait for January.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Chicago Fire when they return on Wednesday, Jan. 9, at 9/8c on NBC.
