Arrow 6x14 : Collision Course


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

Team Arrow returns with what I'd like to call a two sided coin of an episode. The episode begins as City Hall as Oliver is surrounded by members of emergency services, school officials and other countless Star City needs. He tells them that he'll have the money that Cayden James had taken from the city back into the City's funds within 48 hours. Without it the city will be on the verge of collapse. But of course Oliver is too late as the funds have already been removed by none other than Laurel in disguise. And this is where the episode just got flat out annoying for me. The 2nd team of Dinah Rene and Curtis duke it out with Oliver Felicity and Diggle in some infuriating ways. Dinah is borderline annoying in this episode and made me think why are these two teams even fighting? I mean they are after the same goal at the end of the day. But Dinah wants revenge for Vince as it is told over and over again which is understandable but killing someone for revenge is never the answer as Oliver continues to hit home.
At the 2nd team's bunker is where the episode really begins to heat up again as Rene plants an audio bug on Oliver as him John and Felicity locate Quentin who has been looking after Laurel ever since she got shot a few weeks back. Not long after they show up the 2nd team also shows up and a mass brawl breaks out between them. The 2nd team even cheating to get the upper hand on the others. Curtis hacks into John's implant in his arm and causes damage leaving him pretty useless in the fight. Curtis manages to talk Dinah around in to not killing Laurel who manages to escape into the night. The episode ends as Laurel who is still badly injured runs into a random guy and asks him for help. If it seems like I wasn't interested in this episode it's because well..I wasn't. The first half annoyed me to no end and the second half although really fast paced wasn't enough to make up for what was a lackluster first 20 minutes. Not an ideal episode for Arrow to come back to but it is good to have the team back again. Next time try shooting nearer the bulls eye eh Oliver?

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...
