The Flash 4x5 : Girls night out review


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

 This week's episode starts in Star Labs as Felicity arrives to celebrate Iris's bridal party. Iris convinces Caitlin to also come along as she wasn't entirely too keen on the idea at first. Cecil rounds out the guests as they all go to have dinner. As they are having dinner the same guy who was with Caitlin in the premiere episode appears and tells Caitlin that Amulet ( a badass who can control metal substances ) wants to speak with her. Caitlin loses her cool (pun intended) and turns into full on Killer Frost and takes out the guy who is later named snake eye by Caitlin. More on this whole situation later.

 With Iris going to celebrate her impending wedding to Barry he too is out celebrating with Joe, Harry Wells Cisco and Ralph Dibney. Only his 2nd episode and Elongated man is already one of my favorite characters this show has introduced since H.R. last season. He's funny completely blunt and just downright hilarious at times. Exactly what the show needed. Hopefully he sticks around for the remainder of the season. Next week's episode looks to feature him very heavily as he'll be getting a costume. Can't wait for that! More on Barry and Cisco manages to make him a cocktail that somehow allows him to get fully drunk and also pretty annoying in my opinion, he does have some funny moments don't get me wrong but most are just flat out stupid. If I'm not mistake this is the first ever episode where Barry doesn't suit up at least once. And that just felt weird to me. I never thought I'd say this but the girls were actually the highlight of the episode. 

 Speaking of the girls as Iris Felicity and Cecil follow Killer Frost they discover she was actually working for Amulet and she wants her back to work for her once more. Frost disagrees of course and takes a massive beat down later on as she is expecting Cisco to breach her to another earth Amulet shows up and pummels her. Towards the end she is defeated by the girls not the guys as Iris puts it. This was really cool as it was great to see the girls get the victory for a change. It's always Barry who takes all the glory which is completely fine but it was a nice change to see the girls win.

 All in all this episode was really enjoyable which for me was totally unexpected as I was dreading it going into it. Just the vibe (pun intended) from the promo had me feeling a little off about it, but it really was one of the best episodes this season so far surprisingly enough. Sure you can say the feminist vibe was thrown around pretty hard but it didn't hurt the episode that much overall. Just cool down on the alcohol next time eh Barry??

★★★★

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...
