Arrow 6x5 : Deathstroke returns review


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

 Moving on from last week's really good episode Arrow continues it's good pacing and action filled goodness this week. As the episode starts with a returning Vigilante who is out to kill a corrupt politician. He fails in his quest of course, thwarted by the team and we finally do find out his identity. He is none other than Dinah's ex partner and lover. She of course is taken back by this as she saw him get shot in the head right in front of her but it turns out that the dark matter from the particle accelerator also affected him giving him the power of instant healing. So that explains how he survived that attack by Prometheus last season. Nice to see them tie all that together. 

 The FBI agent who's been investigating Oliver steps up her pursuit and begins to question and interview members of the team starting with Diggle. She later begins to question others members of the team throughout the episode, Felicty, Wild Dog etc. We don't actually see them get interviewed though. Well we do see Felicity but she is practically called away right as she is about to be interviewed so that doesn't really count. I may have said this before but the FBI agent is really giving me Amanda Waller vibes. The actress is really good in this role.

 Onto Oliver now and he meets up with Slade early in the episode as Slade tells him the mission ahead, we see later that Oliver is struggling with his decision to go or not as he doesn't want to break his promise to William. Felicity ever the voice of reason manages to somewhat convince him to go. Slade's plan is to basically use Oliver's status as mayor to get his son out of where he's being held captive. This doesn't go to plan of course as his son isn't actually being held captive he is dead..or is he? as Oliver learns of an almost ghost like organisation called The Jackels he informs Slade of this so Slade goes alone to try and find his son. What he finds out instead was a really nice twist as his son isn't dead or being held captive he is the one in CHARGE of this group called The Jackels as he informs his father and we see Oliver in hiding in the corner, and that is how the episode ends. 

 This was another stellar episode from Team Arrow and this season while it has had 1 or 2 filler episodes so far has been a really enjoyable watch thus far, More of this Team Arrow and you'll be back to your absolute 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.

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...
