Legends Of Tomorrow 3x10 : Daddy Darhkest


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

 Finally Legends Of Tomorrow has returned and what an episode to come back on. It was a whole lot of fun as per usual but also peppered with some really cool scenes thanks to the inclusion of John Constantine. Speaking of Constantine. The episode begins as we see him in Star City 2017 entering an asylum for the insane. As he goes further into the building he finds a little girl in a room all by herself and withing minutes she is taken completely over by a demon who apparently knows Sara Lance and said demon is also after her. It's later revealed that this demon is in fact Mallus and he aims to take complete control over this little girl who in fact is actually Nora Darhk who has been taken into custody after her father was killed by the Green Arrow in 2017 (as we saw at the end of Arrow season 4) more on Mallus later.

 But the real highlight of this episode has to be John Constantine who is played to absolute perfection by Matt Ryan. From spitting English slang to other expletives he is uniquely charming and adds so much to what is already a really strong and fun cast. I really hope he comes back again sometime in the future as I said he really is a whole lot of fun even as his character's main purpose is pretty much demon possession and other out of this world magics. The big thing in this episode though for me has to be when John seduces Sara while him Leo and Sara get trapped in 1969 after a possessed Nora Darhk traps them there after drawing a magic symbol inside of John's supposedly trap that Mallus can't escape from. Him and Sara get it on which was a surprise but not going to lie I kind of like them together. The exchange they share at the end of the episode is rather cute and I hope this relationship gets some more attention in future episodes / seasons. As the episode draws to a close Mallus tries to tighten his control over Sara by almost invading her entire body and trying to make her succumb to the darkness. John ever the gentleman aids her in this and she is able to get them home after drawing the same symbol that Nora had drawn at the beginning of the episode. All while this is going on though we have Ray and Zari go to Star City 2017 to try and get Nora to come around and help them. They think they are going to do exactly that but Mallus once again possess her and she destroys Jitters (which isn't Jitters in Central City and not Star City?) as Zari and Ray try to fight back Zari touches the girl and Mallus seems almost afraid of her and tells her that she is one of the six. Later back on the waverider Zari questions this to which John tells her about 6 totems that could possibly be the key to defeating Mallus but Vixen said she only knows of 5 and that there must be more. 
The episode ends as Agent Sharpe calls Sara on board the waverider and informs her that Rip Hunter has escaped custody. This episode was brilliant and hands down my favorite this season which is saying a lot because there has been some quality episodes so far. A really really entertaining ride and just further shows that this show really has found it's feet this season. It is easily my favorite of all the DC shows right now and I look forward to it every single week. Long live the Legends Of Tomorrow!

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...
