Supergirl 4x6 : Call to Action review


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

 This week's episode of Supergirl begins with an alien attack as a couple are seen walking through Midtown park when Children Of Liberty begin their assault. Manchester Black makes his presence known and makes the save before Supergirl herself shows up. As the Children Of Liberty are defeated leaflets begins to fall from the sky. These leaflets are a manifesto from the Agent Of Liberty himself. With hate speech a plenty inside Supergirl and Alex continue to investigate the situation throughout the episode even though they get strict orders to not get involved from Colonel Hayley who tells the Danver sisters that it is not the DEO's priority to subdue these Children Of Liberty. So with the help of Brainiac-5 Alex and Kara continue their research throughout the episode. 

 It's Thanksgiving in National City and what better way to spend it then with family?? well Kara and everyone else learns that it isn't so easy as these Children Of Liberty's attacks aren't just random alien attacks they are planned out with the help of highly trained dogs who can sniff out and spot various symbols much like the Anarchy symbols throughout National City. Supergirl does her best to get rid of as many symbols as she can but really she is out of her depth. Brainiac-5 intervenes to help and we're treated to one of the most hilarious fight scenes this season. As he removes some symbols himself the Children Of Liberty surround Brainiac but not before he can take them all out not with his fists but with the power of physics. It sounds silly in theory but it was well done. 
I got a question. Did you ever want to see Supergirl take on a Dragon in live action?? yes?? well then this is the episode for you. As the crimes against aliens continue throughout the city a young girl asks her pet to help protect her family. What I did not expect however is the pet to transform into a giant flying fire breathing Dragon. The CGI looks pretty iffy but it was just so cool to see Supergirl take on the beast. He is ultimately defeated as the young girl tells Alex that the Dragon isn't mean, he is just doing his job of protecting her and her family. His name is Spike and Kara calms him down before he reverts to his original size. James Olsen, James Olsen really shines throughout this episode in his now continuing war against the Children Of Liberty. Lena and him bicker a lot in this episode as James seems to put his entire situation before her and everything else. He actually ends up meeting one of the Children Of Liberty and convinces him that violence isn't the answer. As the episode ends however the same guy says to James that he can get him close to someone that can eventually get him even closer to the Agent Of Liberty himself. But not before James gets ambushed and taken away in a van. Lena on the other hand makes a breakthrough in her research in the hunt for a cancer cure. She mentions to everyone at the Danver's house during thanksgiving dinner that if possible that humans can and should be made super just like Supergirl and Superman. Is this, this show's way of introducing the Everyman project?? because if so that is incredibly interesting. 

 All in all this week's episode of Supergirl was a big step up in quality from last week. It had a solid narrative and Supergirl V a Dragon was not something I knew I needed as much as I did. This is Kara once more flying high!

 ★★★★

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...
