Supergirl 3x8 : Crisis on Earth X (1) review


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

This year's crossover between Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow and Legends Of Tomorrow begins and while it isn't without some faults it is the most fun I've had watching a crossover between all shows since the original one 3 years ago.

The episode begins as we are introduced to Earth X and it's inhabitants, hero's and villains populate this baron utopia that is set in a time where the Nazi's won the war and overthrew all other countries. We're first introduced to Oliver's mirror image of himself and he is a complete badass who shows no hesitation to kill as he flat out murders Earth X's version of Guardian also known as James Olsen.

The episode really begins though with a brand new comic like intro for the crossover. It shows panels of all hero's and it was just a really nice touch. As things begin we see Barry fighting King Shark on the streets of Central City as Iris question him on who has RSVP'd and who has not. Skip to Star City, Ancient England and National City as all hero's and friends of Barry and Iris RSVP and accept the wedding invitation. Kara even brings Alex along with her to try and get her mind of the whole engagement break up situation. As Alex is at the bar while the wedding rehearsal dinner is taking place she meets Sara and right away you could see the chemistry between them and it's not long before they are making out and have a one night stand together. Alex awakes the next morning and leaves before Sara wakes up. They later bump into one another again as Alex and Kara talk outside the church. Alex ends up telling Kara that her and Sara did sleep together and it was amazing but she still feels awful about it happening as it isn't like her at all. Sara and Alex really would make for such a badass couple so I really hope them hooking up wasn't just a one time thing.

Onto the best part of the episode in my opinion and that was Kara once again blessing us with her singing skills. Asked by Barry to perform as Iris walks down the aisle she sings the fitting song of Running Home To You that Barry sang to Iris last season in the crossover musical before he proposed to her. This was a really nice touch and I loved it. As Barry and Iris are just about to say 'I do' nazi's and villains from Earth X invade the church. A big battle ensues and the hero's of our earth come out on top even managing to capture Prometheus.

Onto Cisco and he Harry and Caitlin manage to create a cure for Firestorm which will allow Martin and Jax to split successfully and live separate lives. Jax and the professor argue and bicker a lot throughout the episode as Jax doesn't want to give up his powers and professor Stein either as he says he has been like a father him given that he didn't know his dad growing up. I love how these shows deal with real life issues every week. They may be superhero shows that are meant to be completely out there and not for people to relate to but they do it so well.

The episode ends as the identity's of those under the masks are revealed and it turns out it is Oliver Kara and a returning Reverse Flash (Harrison Wells version) They honestly all look epic in their costumes and now I can't wait for the rest of this crossover to go down!

I loved this episode. It was such a fun start to the crossover between all shows and if it keeps going at this pace it might be the greatest crossover of them all.

★★★★

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...
