The Flash 4x2 : Mixed Signals review


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

 We start off this week's episode by seeing a new meta in action named Deacon or as we later come to know him..Kilgor. He has the power to control any form of technology at a seconds notice. We later find out that he was part of a team that came up with some tech which they then sold for a lot of money which he got none of so obviously he wants revenge so he sets out to kill them all (as you do I suppose) Onto Barry whom we see having a lot of fun making breakfast for him and Iris. While Iris was sleeping Barry managed to sort out their entire wedding plans much to Iris's concerns. Barry seems out of the loop a lot in this episode. I don't know if it's just speedforce after effects as they never explain but he definitely feels off. 

 At Star Labs we see that Cisco has a built a new suit for Barry with a whole bunch of tech inside of it. That'll be important later. The suit even has built in visors which really remind me of Batman's detective vision for some reason. Complete with yellow eyes just like Batman's white outed eyes. This was a nice little touch. One of the Deacon's former team mates that I mentioned earlier gets into some car trouble thanks to the meta so it's Barry to the rescue in what was a really cool car scene actually. Barry practically dismantles the entire car and all that's left is the guy in the seat yelling for his life. 

 Gypsy arrives back on Earth 1 for a date with Cisco who actually blows her off to help Team Flash help track down the meta. Cisco realizes he's in the dog house and attempts to make it up to her and the two share a date towards the end of the episode. I love Gypsy wish she would become a season regular as her and Cisco's chemistry is on point. 

 Back onto Barry's suit and during the final fight with Kilgor he uses his meta powers to manipulate the suit and it goes completely bonkers. We learn that Cisco put way too much tech into the suit and that was honestly the highlight of the episode. This episode in total had a major Flash season 1 / 2 feeling. At least to me.

 All in all this was one heck of a step up from last week's underwhelming premiere episode. Hopefully it can keep this momentum going. Welcome back Team Flash it's good to have you back at your best.

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.

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...
