Gotham 4x1 : Pax penguina review


Before starting this review I just want to let everyone know that there will be big *SPOILERS* for the episode ahead. With that being said let's get into my review of Gotham Season 4's premiere.

Set 3 or so months after the end of season 3, season 4 picks up more of less from where things ended with Bruce on a rooftop protecting innocent civilians like Batman would!! all this goes down as we see Ra's Al Ghul watching from the distance he knows Bruce is the true heir and he will stop at nothing to see him take his place as The Demon's Head.

Skip to Penguin and we find out that he now fully controls the underworld and has negotiated successfully with the city's mayor to produce licences for criminals which will basically legalize crime in Gotham securing an all time low crime rate for the city. Jim Gordon of course being the hard faced cop that he is, is automatically against this and wants to put an end to Penguin once and for all given all the dodgy deals he has going on and the fact that he is in the mayor's pocket.

Highlight of the episode easily has to be the scene where Bruce visits GCPD to talk with Gordon and he appears practically out of nowhere and then promptly disappears again like Batman all to the confusion of Gordon. All little nods to Batman and I just love it.

Jonathan Crane is back and man is it good to see him back. Totally screwed up over what his father injected him with in the first season it is so good to see the would be master of fear back in Gotham. We only see him for a split second at the very end as scarecrow but he already looks menacing and Gotham really has no idea what is in store once he unleashes his fear toxin upon the city.

Ivy Selina Tabitha and especially Victor Zasz all play good supporting roles in this episode also especially Zasz who is now Penguin's right hand man and the guy who will flat out kill you if you're found to not have a license. All in all I'd say this was a great way to start Season 4 and I can't wait for more. Next week's episode looks very Scarecrow heavy which means it's going to be one to mess with the head. Welcome back Gotham it's good to have you back.

★★★★

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it Gotham finally returns for it's fifth and sadly last season and with a run of only 12 episodes there is a lot to get through and eventually wrap up. It begins on Day 391 of No Man's Land as the final battle for Gotham comes to a head as Captain Gordon, Harvey Bullock, Riddler and even Penguin all suit up and get loaded for combat as all men led by many more GCPD officers open fire from a top a massive wall as Jim Gordon says ''For Gotham'' this of course is going to be the end of the season but let's go all the way back to day 87 of No Man's Land where we see Gordon talking to someone on a radio.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
