Legends Of Tomorrow 3x13 : No Country For Old Dads review


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

 Another week another fine outing for The Legends Of Tomorrow this time the story being told mainly from the villain side of things. The episode begins as we Sara and Ava all loved up on board the waverider sharing breakfast together having spent the night together on the ship. A moment or so passes before Gary a prominent member of Ava's agency appears on the screen and informs them that Ray has sent a message through a Palmer Tech phone to the Agency. He informs them that he has been kidnapped by Damien Darhk and his daughter who now have 3 totem's in their possession. Damien even reveals he has the Fire Totem and it is why he has kidnapped Ray so he can work to fix it and restore it to it's full potential. He runs in to some obstacles however as he needs some major power energy to fix the totem. Cold Fusion is the key to this Damien tells him but Ray had never heard of it being invented. And this is where the episode really kicks into gear. As we learn that Damien's past self was an assassin who in 1962 Berlin murders the man who invents Cold Fusion. So it's up to Nora and Ray to go back in time to 1962 and retrieve either the doctor or the formula but of course things don't go as planned. All of this is told from Nora's perspective for the most part and honestly I really liked this. It was the first time this season that I actually liked the Nora character (besides the young Nora in Constantine's episode) she shows that she does have a heart of some sorts and her connection with Ray was a lot of fun to watch. 
Damien Darhk on the other hand is the standout performer in this episode as he is seen from two different points of view. We got present day Damien and assassin Damien with a god awful that I just had to laugh at every time he appeared on screen wearing it. This was also the first time I really liked and sort of connected with the Damien Darhk character since Arrow season 4 which was a welcome surprise. Speaking of nice surprise's it was really good to see Wally in action as Kid Flash in this episode even if for a brief second. He rescues Ray after Ray triggers a time quake in 1962 while in his ATOM suit. Wally even manages to swipe the Fire Totem from Damien which was cool. The episode ends as Ava and Rip (now back on the team in some way) connect to the head of the time agency only for him to be straight up murdered by a returning Gorilla Grodd. ''Oh my god'' ''No that would be Grodd'' a nice fun exchange between Ray and Ava, not before Wally agrees to join the Legends full time which was great and I can't wait to see more of him and how he'll fit into the team for the rest of the season.  This was another solid episode of Legends Of Tomorrow and another example of why it is the best DC show (maybe besides Gotham) on TV right now. Till next week Legends!

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.

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it Gotham finally returns for it's fifth and sadly last season and with a run of only 12 episodes there is a lot to get through and eventually wrap up. It begins on Day 391 of No Man's Land as the final battle for Gotham comes to a head as Captain Gordon, Harvey Bullock, Riddler and even Penguin all suit up and get loaded for combat as all men led by many more GCPD officers open fire from a top a massive wall as Jim Gordon says ''For Gotham'' this of course is going to be the end of the season but let's go all the way back to day 87 of No Man's Land where we see Gordon talking to someone on a radio.

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...
