Superman & Lois 3x3 : In Cold Blood review

 


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

After last weeks brilliant and very emotional episode can this weeks episode of Superman and Lois be a worthy follow up?? the episode begins with Superman flying through the city of Metropolis after hearing Lois cry out for help. As he gets closer to her location we see that the entire city is basically crumbling both beneath and around Superman. Even the Daily Planet is not safe and ultimately it crumbles with it's main symbol and viewpoint above which is the iconic globe with it's name on it falls off and plummets to the ground with Lois standing directly in it's path. Superman manages to save her in the nick of time but just as he does Clark wakes up in a panic in his own bed with Lois beside him. It was a nightmare as I expected as the scene went on. The following day is soon upon Lois and Clark and it begins with Lois ringing her sister Lucy to inform her of her cancer diagnosis. Not only does Lois tell her sister but she basically tells everyone else too including her dad, Natalie and John and even Lana. It's an emotional montage for sure. 

With everyone in the know now Lois's first treatment of chemo-therapy is set and her and Clark are going to go together. Lois's mind seems to be elsewhere however as she seems to be closing in now more than ever on the Bruno Mannheim case. So much so that she totally forgets about showing up for her first treatment which enrages not only her co-worker / partner Chrissy but also her dad and even Clark who was all set to attend the treatment with her. Lois's dad even gets mad at Clark for letting his daughter's mind be elsewhere when it should solely be focused on her treatment and overall well being. 


The episode draws to a close as Lois reschedules her treatment but as expected given what happened the first time she actually ends up leaving this time. Just as Clark leaves to help people in need in Napal of all places Lois messages Chrissy for updates and she gets them in the form of a location that seems to be housing plenty of Inter-gang secrets. So Lois and Chrissy set off this location and inside they're met with men who are heavily armed. They manage to get into a room that houses blood, plenty of blood. There's one problem however. They can't contact Superman once inside but Lois and Chrissy have a plan. Lois surrenders herself to the men with Chrissy out of sight, that is until she is able to contact Superman who is there in an instant. Our hero gets more than he bargained for though when one of the men has Kryptonite empowered gauntlets that he uses on Superman so much so that John Henry Irons has to be called in to help which he does. Superman and Steel save Lois and Chrissy but at the cost of the entire facility being destroyed with the blood along with it. But Lois ever the smart one had earlier taken a DNA sample and sent it to the D.O.D to be examined. Let's see what results come back. The episode does end back at the Kent farm where Lois gets the call from her dad who tells her who the blood belonged to and not surprising really it belongs to Superman. How did Inter-gang get his blood?? it's a mystery but they're clearly using it to power up people for their nefarious purposes. The episode actually doesn't end there but on a more somber note as Lois finally accepts her treatment process and is ready to begin as her and Clark drive off to start. It's a very emotional ending to another great episode and follow up to last weeks instant classic. Bar the premiere episode this is now two quality episodes of Superman and Lois back to back and shows that this is one of the best things DC has going for itself right now in both film and TV. 

★★★★

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. 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...
