The Flash 4x10 : Trial Of The Flash review


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

 The Flash is back and with it brings us a very familiar storyline to comic book readers. The Trail Of The Flash gets underway as Barry is on trial for the murder of Clifford Devoe in the mid season finale. Now under the microscope he doesn't seem all that worried about even going to prison as he says he will do anything to protect his identity which means that he is unwilling to testify in court and provide a credible case for himself. As all this is happening a new meta appears in Central City with the ability to make any person he comes into contact with collapse from stomach issues or exhaustion and is also a nuclear bomb jut waiting to explode upon the city. Cisco calls this meta Fallout which is a hilarious nod to the game of the same name and almost identical situation. Barry races to the rescue later in the episode even though he is supposed to be in court but he makes his excuse to the judge and makes the save with the help of Cisco. Barry's unselfishness is really shown in this scene and it was really good as Barry is like that in the comics, always willing to save the day even if it comes at the cost of his life. This is later expanded upon as Captain Singh who was called to testify against Barry presents the valor award to The Flash the city's hero..little did he know that he was aiding in helping imprison The Flash.

 Back at the courthouse and Devoe's wife is called to stand and her overacting in this scene is both hilarious and a bit evil. The way she reacts and speaks to some of the questions asked about her supposedly 'dead' husband is really good and as I said she is really convincing in the role and makes you absolutely despise her which is always good for a villain considering most just aren't all that convincing nowadays. Iris follows her out of the courtroom and right away her whole demeanor changes from a sobbing widow to a smirking evil mastermind. She is of course accompanied by Dominic from the mid season finale who Clifford Devoe now inhabits. He didn't have much to do in this episode actually but he does inform Barry that he acquired Dominic's mind reading ability and that he has already won before wishing Barry a nice life and leaving.
The episode ends as the jury gives their verdict which is that Barry is guilty and the judge sentences him to life in prison, everyone's reaction is actually really heartfelt and the scenario of Barry going to prison is set. As he goes into his jail cell on the wall he notices some writing ''Henry Allen Was Here'' yes he is actually sharing the same jail cell that his father was in for many years before being freed. Barry is obviously going to get out at some point but I'm really interested to see how it happens.This was a really solid episode that featured little to no jokes and felt really serious which was good considering the theme. Welcome back Team Flash it's good to have you back!

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...
