Arrow 6x2 : Tribute review



Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.

 First thing this episodes starts off with is Oliver entering the building to his office and he's stopped by the media who all want the answer to the ultimate question. Is he Green Arrow or not? of course he responds with no but he names drops Bruce Wayne which was just absolutely brilliant. Easily the highlight of this episode.

 We learn that Oliver is being investigated by the FBI and an agent named Samantha Watson. A real hard nosed agent who seriously reminded me of Amanda Waller at times. Ruthless to the bone and just downright savage at others. Not caring who or want gets in her way in revealing the truth. I already love her character. I have to mention the new opening for Arrow. No longer just the name Arrow on the screen it flashes all members of the team's logo's before saying Arrow. Much like Legends Of Tomorrow's opening. Small touch but I like the new opening. Makes the team feel important and not just all about Oliver / Green Arrow.

 Anatoli is back in Star City, he wants $20 million dollars from the SCPD who just so happened to come into that kind of money recently, Oliver thinks it was him who leaked the photo to the press but as he says he's an 'honorable man' and would do nothing without telling Oliver to his face. He kindnaps some hostages so it's rescue time for the team. They do save the hostages but soon after Oliver just leaves Anatoli go. I really wanna see Anatoli become KG Beast on this show. I think it'd be so cool if it ever happens. 

 Oliver struggles with the life of being the mayor, the Green Arrow and a father in this episode. Which begs me to question when he does get the chance to sleep? just me nit picking but still it's a legit question that's never answered. So to take the burden off of his shoulders he asks Diggle to become the new Green Arrow and that is how the episode ends. Dig as Green Arrow full time is definitely an interesting choice. Obviously Oliver will come back as Green Arrow but for the time being it looks like Dig will have to step up. 

 This episode was almost on the same level as last week's and by that I mean it was good but just falls short. One or two small little details bugged me but other than that it was an enjoyable ride and as long as Arrow continues like it this season has the potential to be really good. Just try and get some sleep eh Oliver?

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.

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...
