Supergirl 3x9 : Reign review


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

 Supergirl's midseason finale has come and gone and with it came Reign the world killer who much like Kara also escaped a dying Krypton. 

 The episode begins as Reign (Samantha) awakes from nightmares as her daughter rushes to see if her mom is okay she tells her that she wasn't on any trip like she said in episode 7 and she was here all along. Ruby her daughter is oblivious to what is going on of course as her mom is slowly but surely becoming the world killer who will bring destruction to all who stand in her path. Back at the DEO and as Kara, Jon, Alex, Winn, Mon-El and Imra all take together a few funny lines are shared. Winn questions about the 31st century's technology to which Imra replies with what is a phone?, we also learn more of Mon-El and his time in the future. He says he used Kara as a sort of beacon to bring hope and light to recruit a legion of superhero's. I honestly can't wait to see more of the team in action and given the ending of this episode I think Supergirl could definitely do with their help in defeating Reign.

 As a christmas party takes place at Kara's she is called away to investigate a mysterious symbol that's been appearing all over National City. We of course know this is the mark of the world killer Reign but Kara isn't so sure and tries to find out more. She ends up getting a call from the prison where Coville is being kept. He tells her that all these markings are of the world killer and that if not stopped she will bring destruction to everyone and everything in her path. It is Kara's destiny to stop her. This scene was really well done and the tension was super high. It really made Reign seem unstoppable and that Kara has no chance in stopping her. A menacing villain who can actually be taken seriously is always a good thing and based on this episode Supergirl has delivered with Reign.

 I wouldn't be talking about this episode without mentioning the final fight which is both epic and fast paced filled with lots action and explosions. As Kara and Reign battle throughout the city given waste to much destruction it looks as though she is getting the upper hand on her opponent but it is short lived as Reign begins to really pummel her even going as far as to make her bleed which I don't know how that works given there's no kryptonite in sight. Maybe it's because Reign is Kryptonian. We'll just have to wait and see. The episode ends as a victorious Reigns dangles Kara from high a top a building and drops her plummeting her to her apparent demise. As Kara is rushed to the emergency room we see Ruby awaken and go downstairs on Christmas morning to her mom or is it? that's where the episode ends as this show now goes on break and won't be back until January 15th of 2018. 9 episodes down and all have been either good great are just brilliant. A fine first half of the season outing for Kara Zor El. Here's to 2018!

★★★★

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...
