Together We Stand: Supergirl Season 5 (Ep. 10-19) Review

The second half of the fifth season of Supergirl goes pretty fast into the post-crisis but delivers very well. SPOILERS!

While the second half of the fifth season of Supergils had some issues; it still delivered some awesome, exciting, and dramatic moments for this season. I loved out rounded and developed the characters this season with Brainy coming with his past and working with Lex Luther; while being in control of the DEO. Or Kara and Lena's relationship taking a nasty turn that Lena has to come to terms along with Kara about their decisions. Even Nia deals with her first experience of using power to help her roommate after she was attacked. And not only Alex dealing with the death of her father but gets a cool kick-ass suit.

This season really brought back characters; one of them that I'd really enjoyed was the return of Wynn in the two-part episode "Back from the Future." While it brought back a reunion; it also brought a bit of closure for Wynn; as he battles an evil doppelganger but also gets his father's appreciation too.  And while "Alex In Wonderland," Reality Bytes" and The Bottle Episode," were very good; "It's a Super Life," the 100th episode, was the most memorable episode; as it gives Kara a chance to try to fix her relationship with Lena but doesn't end well. And the ending with both Kara, Alex, and J'onn toasting to each other was a happy tear moment; as these three have been together since the pilot.

Now the one or two issues that I have had were some of the stories; as it was confusing at times after Crisis. I had to re-watch episodes; just so I could understand it better. The other was the character development of Andrea Rojas and Arcata; as I thought that in the second half of the season her character wasn't as effective as she was in the first half and that they just kind of wrote her to be here and there. Julie Gonzalo did give some very good performances.

I'd very much enjoyed the second half of the season. It had a lot of great moments in character development. And while the season was cut short of three episodes due to the COVID-19; I thought the season finale had a nice wrapped up to the season. While I give the second half of the season an 8/10. I give this overall season an 8.5/10.

You can catch Supergirl available on The CW app or VOD. Supergirl will return in 2021.

Growing and Laughing: Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 7

 
The seventh season of the NBC comedy literally delivers the goods, laughs, and moments that make you grabbing tissues.

The seventh season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine had really turned up not only the humor but the character development with these stories. We see Amy and Jake push their plans to have a baby, and while they try, they have some issues conceiving. Watching these two dealing with that was just brilliantly well done. But they ended up pregnant and having a baby boy in the season finale, which fits perfectly well for these two.

Meanwhile, Holt deals with his demotion from Captain to patrol officer and has a partner named Debbie (played by Vanessa Bayer), brilliant this season. And while we see Holt dealing with Madeline Wuntch's punishment, he does get his Captain position back after the death of Madeline. Rosa deals with her breakup from her girlfriend, yet her relationship with Amy grows so well this season. But it was the annual Halloween heist that happened to take three different times; it ended up her winning all three, making her the first three-time winner.

This season brought back many familiar faces from Adrian Pimento, who believed that he was being killed but forgot his memory. Doug Judy returns and has a bachelor party with Jake but has to pull a reverse heist before getting caught. Teddy returns as both he, Amy, and Rosa compete for the best stroller, but Rosa loses, but their friendship grows. J.K. Simmons comes to B99 and blows away in "Dillman," who's one of the best detectives that Holt worked with back in the day. Simmons needs to have a cop comedy series right now.

This season had a lot to give and take in as well. The writing was brilliant, and the performances were amazing as well. Melissa Fumero gave such a great performance in the episode "Trying." Vanessa Bayer was so good this season as Debbie, a patrol officer who didn't want to get into danger; but later stole drugs from the lockup for a well-known drug dealer. I felt so bad for her character. And as much as I loved the Halloween heist episodes, The Jimmy Jab Games II might have topped this season as it was just hilarious balls to the wall. Overall, I give this season a 9/10.

You can catch Brooklyn Nine-Nine available on NBC.com and other streaming platforms.

The CW 2020-2021 Fall Schedule: Scripted Series Pushed to 2021, Supergirl set to Midseason

On Thursday, The CW becomes the second network in this wacky unconventional for the May Upfronts with its fall schedule. But the thing is that they're planned fall schedule will have an asterisk because their series won't premiere till January 2021.

With the acquirements of series, the network will be airing those along with unscripted programs and the reaming episodes of the final season of Supernatural. In 2021, the new rebooted Walker Texas Ranger series Walker will take Supernatural's timeslot.

With that in mind, Supergirl will be pushed back to midseason sometime around spring or summer due to accommodate Melissa Benoist's real-life pregnancy. Charmed will take Supergirl's Sunday timeslot. Superman and Lois, the new series, will get the 9pm slot following The Flash in 2021. And still no word on Katy Kane's renewal status yet.

And the Arrowverse crossover won't be as big as it was the last few seasons. Expect a smaller group with Superman and Batwoman.

"When You Only got 100 Years to Live:" Single Parents "No. Wait. What? Hold On" Season Finale

The season finale of Single Parents asked the one big question: Will Angie and Will admit their feelings for one another? Here's a recap!

Picking up seconds from last week's episode, Will and Angie are freaking out nearly the wild and crazy night they had just had. As soon as they try to figure out what has happened, Miggy, Poppy, Doug, and their kids show up to help pack up. As soon as Derek shows up, Angie takes Poppy to the other room and tells her what had happened and that she couldn't remember who cuddled who first. While Will tells Doug and Miggy about his feelings for Angie and that he might have been the one who cuddled.

Poppy and Doug help make Angie and Will's relationship happen, but Derek makes Will stop it all after thanking him for helping out with Angie and Graham. But while Angie was packing in her room, she saw Will's laptop of a slide show of her and Will with the song "100 Years." Will tries to tell Angie that he loves her but instead wishes her the best with Derek for the summer.

Meanwhile, Miggy tries to help Rory decide who stays at Angie's house for the summer in a bachelor-style decision. I think it might have been Jared.

As Angie says her goodbyes, Doug gives her some JAG snacks but tells Will not to watch their show without or remember to miss her. As soon as they leave, Will plays the song while they clean up Angie's house. But as Angie listens to the music, she goes through her bag with that candle, and after smelling it, she remembers the moment she cuddled and heard Will tell her that he loves her.

"No. Wait. What? Hold On" was such a funny and intense season finale. The fierce parts come at times when playing with the Will and Angie characters, whether or not they will tell each other their feelings for one another. As much as Will wants to tell Angie that he loves her, I thought it was heartbreaking and intelligent to have him not tell her. Will is a character who cares for Angie, and after a moment with Derek that ends with a thank you and hug, he's given up his feelings for her to try being happy with Derek.

I'm hoping for a season three for this series. This show is brilliant in its way, with heart and humor. I want to see season three right now, this time tomorrow, to see where this goes. You can catch Single Parents on ABC.com, Hulu, or Google Play.

I don't know about you but I'm very looking forward to finally seeing LA's Finest. I see Fox has been very conservative with their programming by using a few of their new series first and to save the returned one during midseason due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Explaining and Sharing: Single Parents "Look, This is Obviously a Sexy Situation"/"A Night of Delicate Frenching"

"Look, This Is a Sexy Situation" 

With the group knowing that Poppy and Doug broke up, Will, Angie, and Miggy try to be there for them but also try to fix it.

Angie has Poppy over at her house to discuss her feelings and learns that she didn't tell Doug why they broke up. Angie tells her that she should tell him that Derek is there to take Graham, and Poppy sees the two hitting it off as if they're in a relationship. After an argument, both Angie and Poppy apologize, and both agree to face on with what they were afraid to do: Poppy tells Doug that she wants a baby (they still end up breaking up).

Meanwhile, as Will and Miggy try to help Doug, there's only one person who can help Doug: President Ronald Regan at the Ronald Regan Museum. But soon, the kids found out, and as Rory knew where Doug was, he would murder him. But instead, the two talked and had a heartwarming moment. While waiting for Doug, Will tells Miggy that having a relationship within the group shouldn't happen, but Miggy disagrees and tells Will that he's proud of them and that you should hold feelings about someone.

Later, Will drives to Angie's house to talk, and just as he is going to talk about his feelings for her, Angie drops the bomb that she will travel with Derek this summer. Ouch!

"Look, This is a Sexy Situation" was a hilarious episode from beginning to end, as the ending was more heartbreaking for Will. That moment when Will finds out about Angie moving with Derek for the summer, they got the heartstrings pulling. Meanwhile, the moment when Doug and Rory talk about how even though they never liked each other this past year, they've grown a lot to like each other. Overall, this episode had good writing and character development. I give this episode an 8.5/10.

"A Night of Delicate Frenching" 

As Poppy and Doug move on from their breakup, their kids think of a way to get them back together. They devise a way to make them jealous of their relationship, with Doug getting an Instagram account and showing fun time photos, while Poppy requests and shouts out to her new relationship on the radio. Soon, Poppy and Doug catch on and punish them; the twins have to suffer watching Parent Trip.

Will's plan to keep Angie home backfires as Graham gets to go with Sophie to Lance Bass Space Camp. She also loses her job, and Will tries to get it back for her. That made Angie very upset, and soon the two argued about it. Shortly after the power went out, the two apologized while lighting up cheap candles and opening up twist cap wine to cheer for their one last night as friends. The following day the two wake up face to face in the room, freaking out.

"A Night of Delicate Frenching" was an excellent and hilarious episode. I'd enjoy this Rory and Twins storyline more than the Christmas episode. I even loved and agree that Parent Trip is such an evil movie. Could Angie and Will have shown their genuine feelings for one another during that night? I hope so, and I hope that the season finale will end up being the beginning of their relationship. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Do you think Angie and Will will be together by the end of the season? To find out, go to my Twitter page, where there's a poll.

You can catch the season finale of Single Parents Wednesday at 9:30/8:30 on ABC.

CBS Renews FBI, FBI Most Wanted and All Rise

The jury is out as CBS renews three of their dramas!

On Wednesday, CBS has started the renewal and chopping off their shows. Three of them happen to be FBI, FBI Most Wanted and All Rise.

Along with them, the network also renewed 20 other programs as well. FBI just finished their second season; ending the season with a crossover with Chicago PD. FBI Most Wanted and All Rise just finished their freshmen season this week.

I'm super excited for CBS to renew these series as these were the only three series that I've been enjoying after last season cancellation of Life In Pieces.
