Supergirl 6x18 : Truth or Consequences review

 


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

This weeks episode of Supergirl is a bit or roller coaster to say the least. It opens in the tower as we see William telling everyone that he met up with Otis Graves who leaked some info to him about Lex and his plans. His plans include building an army of Lex-O suit soldiers. William soon gets a message on his phone telling everyone to turn on the news channel. When they do they see that Lex Luthor's private diary has been leaked to the press. Lex's deepest, most profound thoughts are written on it from his confession of love for Nxyly to other things like how he is known as the Man of Tomorrow. Turns out the media got a hold of the journal seemingly thanks to Andrea who we saw with it last week. She leaks it to the press alongside a story by William which is very important for later on. In last weeks episode we learned that Brainy is going to look to the future for information on Nyxly and how to stop both her and Lex. Well this week he gets quite the shock as he learns that once Lex and Nyxly are no longer a threat in modern time he must fuse with the big brain to protect and secure both time and space. So it looks like Brainy won't be around anymore past the season finale. As for Nia he looks to tell her but she gets to know the information through a dream vision before he can tell her everything. Brainy reluctantly tells her that she is needed in the land of the living and that it's her destiny to be here as his is to be inside of the big brain. It's all come out of nowhere sure but I did like this little side plot.

We're soon back at the tower and after some tech wizardry by Lena the location of Mitch's ship which is where Lex and Nxyly are hiding out is located. Supergirl, Dreamer, Brainy and J'onn are all soon on board the ship and learn that Lex and Nxyly have restore the Hope Totem and also now have the Truth Totem. A fight breaks out on board the ship which also houses some of Lex's proposed Lex-O Suit soldiers. All hell breaks loose as not only do the team end up getting the totems back but they also destroy the robotic soldiers dealing a huge blow to Lex's plans. Or do they??.. more on that in a bit. 


The episode draws to a close as a party for Alex and Kelly is thrown to celebrate their engagement. With Nyxly and and Lex now in the wind and the fifth dimensional imp seemingly succumbing more and more to Lex can Team Supergirl truly win the day here?? while everyone is at the party William agrees to look after Esme for Alex and Kelly as a sort of early wedding gift. They go to the Tower as everyone else is seen enjoying themselves dancing the night away. That is until Lex and Nxyly reappear and cause some chaos. We see them turn up at the Tower after they learn that Esme is now the Love Totem incarnate. Nxyly gets to her as Lex is left with a tied and strapped to a chair William. Lex ultimately reveals to William that as always he has been one step ahead of everyone. Everything that happened in this episode was done on purpose so that they could not only get to Esme but also retrieve the totems. Much like in season 5 and season 4 Lex is shown once again to be the mastermind behind everything and honestly it's just as fantastic now as it was back then. Before leaving Lex commits one final horrific deed. He shoots William twice knocking him to the ground. Nxyly seemingly takes Esme as we don't see it but it's pretty much a given that she does. William with his final breaths records himself before sending it to Andrea who now has the evidence to surely use it against Lex. Supergirl and the rest of the Superfriends soon arrive back to the Tower in a hurry and find that not only is Esme missing but Supergirl ends up finding William's lifeless body. He is dead she says as the camera pans to a shot directly above them. A somber ending to a really enjoyable episode to be honest. Only 2 episodes now remain with the final episode being a two part conclusion. All in all this was a very good episode  indeed. Roll on next week!

★★★★

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...
