Arrow 6x6 : Promises Kept review


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

 Starting off where it ended last week we see Slade and his son talk things over before Slade agrees to join his son in his fight. Oliver is still in hiding position as father and son somewhat bond and right away we're taking back to more flashbacks of Slade and we finally learn what made him come after Oliver in season 2. As he is washed up on an island somewhere his son informs him that he lost his eye and Slade mentions Oliver and his plan to get revenge on him someday. Fast forward a year and as Slade and his son are training it flashes between them and Slade and Oliver training on the island. Slade overcome with anger and frustration trains his son a bit too hard and this causes them to stop for awhile. More on Slade later. 

 There's a new player in Star City by the name of Dragon or as we later come to know him Ricardo Diaz a criminal mastermind who somehow managed to avoid multiple life sentences. As Diggle is running of his drugs he goes to the supplier and of course it is none other than Ricardo Diaz. Diggle plays along and gets more of the drug to help his tremor before confessing all to not only his wife but the entire team also. Curtis agrees to help him with his tremor so that he can avoid taking drugs. Dig gives the team the location for Dragon's warehouse where he is making and supplying these drugs so it's mission time to take him down or at least wipe out his stock which they manage to do. 

 Back onto Slade now and as he is training he begins seeing Shadow once again. A returning figure from Season's 1 and 2 and someone who Oliver choose to kill to save Sara on the island. She tells him that Oliver is alive and well and that he needs to take revenge what he done to them both. This is the point where Deathstroke is born and he flat out kills everyone in sight only sparing his son. These flashbacks were very much appreciated as I've always wondered just how and why Slade came after Oliver in season 2 as it was never really explained. 

 I enjoyed this episode sure it wasn't incredible but it was very enjoyable and easily one of my favorite episodes this season. Cheers to Team Arrow's future.

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...
