The Flash 4x11 : The Elongated Knight Rises review


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

 This week's episode begins as we see Barry sitting in his jail cell as chaos reigns between prisoners on the outside. Barry uses his powers and cleans up the mess locking everyone back up in the process. As the scene ends it's shown that Barry has written under his dad's message in the cell that we saw last week. ''Henry Allen was here'' now it also says ''So was Barry'' a nice sentiment between deceased father and son. Skip to Central City and as a criminal holds a building hostage Ralph rushes to the rescue and we're treated to his first success against criminals on his own without anyone else's help. This causes him to get a big ego a bit and later he comes crashing back down to earth after getting seriously hurt but more on that later. As Barry is in prison he meets Axel Walker a returning character from season 1. The Trickster's son who escapes prison thanks to his mom's plan and they both terrorize Central City much to the team's dismay. This causes Ralph to once again race to the rescue but he gets trumped by the Trickster as he sprays Ralph with some acid that burns Ralph causing him to become completely afraid of this path that he has chosen. He even goes to visit Barry who convinces him that it's okay to be afraid but a real hero overcomes his fears and saves people no matter the cost. Speaking of Barry he meets a new prison inmate who knew his father who Henry helped years ago this causes the guy (played by Goldberg) to help Barry whenever he can and the two bond. I actually really like the relationship that they share. It's totally believable. 

 Back onto Ralph and as Cisco makes him a new suit he rushes to the rescue of Cisco and Caitlin as they have gone and gotten captured by The Trickster and his mom who we're told used to be the original Trickster's partner named Prank. As Ralph arrives in his new suit complete with a typical hero speech. He overcomes the trickster duo and rescues his friends and while leaving he gets interviewed by a reporter and the name Elongated Man is born much to his dismay. 
The episode ends as we see that girl from the crossover episode. The girl who was a waitress at Barry's wedding appear at Jitters as she talks to Cisco and Ralph who are buying some coffee. As they leave we see the girl writing some strange language on a notepad. No idea what is planned for her but it seems to me that she is most likely Barry and Iris's future daughter who has traveled through time to the past. I'm officially interested to see where this goes from here through to the end of the season.  I really liked this episode it was balanced really well between all characters and was just a really good entry this season. Keep this going Flash and you'll be back to your absolute best!

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...
