The Flash 4x22 : Think Fast review


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

 The penultimate episode of The Flash season 4 and while not a brilliant episode by any means it is definitely better than last weeks and sets up the finale pretty well. It begins with a familiar face as we see John Diggle at a secret ARGUS black ops site but right away it's given away that it's just Devoe in disguise as Dig's whole voice and demeanor changes as he makes his way in towards the entrance of the building he is greeted by guards. Now back in his proper Devoe form he uses all his meta powers to take out the guards all while classical music plays in the background. This was a really fun intro to the episode and set it up really well in my opinion. Back at Star Labs and we see Harry who further begins to completely lose his memory. Now a bumbling idiot in a sense he knocks over chairs and has trouble even remembering simple stuff. This is when Barry runs into the room after surveying all air stations throughout the city / county. Ferris Air even gets another mention which was cool to see. Just as things look to be settling down the team gets a message that Devoe is at the same ARGUS site I mentioned earlier and he's there to use the meta known as Fallout to power the satellite's that he will use to begin the enlightenment. Barry ever the hero tries to come up with a plan to infiltrate the building but after Cisco surveys the security he learns that Barry will be met with all different kinds of things to overcome. This is when they all come up with the idea of Barry training Caitlin and Cisco to be in and use Flashtime (the same concept that we saw used in episode 15 this season) Barry tries to train them but things obviously don't go according to plan at first. It takes them time as Caitlin and Cisco struggle to keep in motion. They eventually get the jist of it and 3 of them set off to the ARGUS site in search of Devoe with a plan to stop him from launching the satellite's and save the hostages he has being kept as a distraction to stop Barry from following him into a pocket dimension. This is where Cisco and Caitlin come in as they deal with the hostages while Barry follows Devoe and actually does enter one of his pocket dimensions where they manage to end up in a city (they don't specify which city) but Barry actually manages to destroy Devoe's powered satellite's and Devoe doesn't even seem bothered by the situation as we get a typical villain monologue that while predictable was really interesting. 
Back at Star Labs thinking they have stopped the enlightenment an alarm echoes throughout the building. It's Devoe and he is actually inside the time vault using the Star Labs satellite to begin his cause of wiping the entire planet's brains. Barry tries to get inside but is unable and the satellite gets launched and that's where it ends and next weeks will pick up I presume. If it seems like I didn't say much about this episode well it's because other than the Flash V Thinker parts the rest just didn't interest me. The Cecil being able to now become people thanks to her pregnancy expanding her powers past mind reading was ridiculous and Harry although funny at times his memory loss really impacted some serious scenes that could have been much better off without. But that being said the main aspect of the episode delivered in a big way and I now look forward to next week's finale of Season 4.

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.

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.

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...
