Supergirl 4x7 : Rather the Fallen Angel review


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

 We get team ups a plenty in this week's episode of Supergirl as it begins with the Girl Of Steel herself teaming up with Manchester Black to try and stop more Children Of Liberty from stealing valuables. As the episode goes on and Supergirl works with Manchester more his tactics and actions start to wear thin with Kara and she tells him that they can't work together anymore due to the way he does things. Supergirl's got a certain way of doing things and Manchester is just an all out brute at times. Later as Jonn convinces Kara to give him another chance Supergirl and Manchester team up once more and learn of a place called Shelley Island. Which just so happens to be the base / hideout of the Children Of Liberty and of course Agent Liberty himself. 

 James Olsen whom after the ending of last week's episode surrendered to the Children Of Liberty is questioned and asked to aid them in their latest plan. Which leads us again to Shelley Island where James was taken and is also as I mentioned the base of Agent Liberty and his followers. Before it was their base however it was a bustling island with a monument which is now broken and run down. As you enter you're greeted by a video message from Supergirl herself welcoming you to the island. More on James now and the same guy from last week who got James the invitation to meet Agent Liberty tries to bust James out as he thought he was only being brought to the island for an interview not to be asked to be the front and center of their latest plan. Speaking of their plan it involves blowing up the run down monument that I mentioned earlier. James willingly goes along with it all as if he doesn't they'll kill the betraying Child Of Liberty. Reputation doesn't mean anything to him he says and Agent Liberty can do whatever he wants with it. And this is when the team ups really begin as Supergirl and Manchester arrive on Shelley Island they are greeted with power dampening rods but Supergirl comes prepared and tosses a yellow sun grenade over the rods. But of course it's all a trap as Manchester removed the contents back at his place before they left for the island. He promised the Children Of Liberty Supergirl and in exchange he gets some one on one time with Agent Liberty. Supergirl left betrayed is rendered powerless and taken to the same monument that James is supposed to blow up. So with time running out Kara tries her best to get his attention from the monument which is across the water. James predictably sees her just before he blows the place up and Supergirl is saved and also regains her powers after Manchester destroys the rods that was preventing Kara from powering up. Why did he destroy them?? well turns out he was duped by the Children Of Liberty as the real Agent Liberty wasn't even on the island. Ben Lockdown who we know is the Agent Of Liberty is watching from inside his office on a computer. Supergirl saves the day once more. 
                               
The episode ends as we see Jonn visiting Kara and telling her that he failed Manchester. He tells her that he killed a lot of people in pursuit of justice. And he says that it cuts to Manchester who we see pull up outside of Lockdown Family Steel before it fades to the logo. I really did like this episode a lot. I didn't mention everything else going on like Lena's human trials beginning and her struggles with that but this was such a strong episode and probably my favorite episode last season. Last week we saw Kara take on a dragon but this week she took on someone who she taught was her friend. It's always great to see the human side of these strong and powerful characters. Kara saves the day once more and is flying higher than ever before!

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...
