Arrow 6x9 : Irreconcilable Differences review


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

 Arrow's mid season finale has come and gone and while it wasn't a bad episode by any means but compared to the rest of the CW shows this week it was definitely the weakest. 

 Onto the episode now and it begins with a wedding reception for Oliver and Felicity who turns who fashionably late with her parents in tow. I don't ever remember seeing or hearing about her parents reconnecting but it seems they have. Oliver and Felicity share their first kiss first dance and enjoy the evening with all their closest friends. But not before Quentin Lance gets a phone call and tells Oliver that there is someone on the team who is willing to testify against him that he is indeed the Green Arrow. The team member is revealed later in the episode and it turns out to be Rene. He tells the team he was put in a no win situation as the FBI really put him under their microscope so to speak and told him he'd never see his daughter again if he doesn't cooperate. Oliver furious of course tells him to leave and he does.

 Black Siren returns once again and honestly it's getting a little boring and same old with her and Cayden James once again trying to steal some tech. The ending of the episode was really good though as it is shown that Cayden James Laurel, Vigilante one of Cayden's guys and even Anatoli are now all together apparently and plan to take down Team Arrow once and for all and also Star City in the process. 

 As he found out about a team member potentially testifying against him Oliver had Felicity track all members of the team who eventually find this out and aren't too impressed with their actions. It's an invasion of privacy which is perfectly accurate. Curtis later tells the team that if they can't trust him than he can't trust them and he is leaving the team. As Curtis and the others leave we see that Cayden James had Laurel plant a spy camera in the bunker while she invaded it earlier in the season and this is the scene where all the villains come together and that is where it ended.

 If I didn't seem interested in this episode is because well I wasn't. For a mid season finale I expected more and given this show's previous mid season;s outings I may have expected too much but still it actually felt like a filler episode and that is never a good thing. The season so far hasn't really hit any of the highs of last season and I just hope once it comes back in 2018 it will begin firing at top form once again. See you in 2018 Team Arrow!

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...
