The Flash 9x6 : The Good, The Bad and The Lucky review

 


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

After the end of The Red Death's story arc in last weeks episode can The Flash begin a new story arc or will this episode be nothing but filler?? it is the latter I'm afraid and it's such a shame because this is the final season of The Flash and this episode features absolutely no Flash whatsoever as Barry and Iris take a trip to Coast City. The episode begins with a returning character from season 4. It is Becky Sharpe (Hazard) whose powers lend her the ability to instill bad luck on anyone around her. She not only survived Crisis on Infinite Earths because of this power but now she seems to be living a somewhat normal life with her even being engaged to be married. It all goes south when she is accused of attacking her fiance and taken to CCPD where she personally asks for Cecil's help with her case. Cecil who is struggling to adjust to life with Joe and her daughter living under the same room with her. She is even supposed to go to them but gets the call from Captain Kramer to come and help Becky with her case with her powers possibly playing a major factor in the success of failure of the case. 

In last weeks episode we saw Khione bring back Chillblaine from the brink of death with a kiss that seemed to recreate powers of Frost. This week Chillblaine wants to test Khione to see just how powerful she is and what powers she may actually possess. They all get to work and we get the answer at the end of the episode which not only gives answers but leaves us with even more questions. 


The episode draws to a close as we learn that Becky's fiance was quite the gambler and not just that but he was in some heavy debt to people you don't want to be in debt to. These same people turn up just as Becky, Alegra and Cecil begin their investigation. Becky ends up getting taken and is forced into returning to her old job of being the Blackjack card dealer in a casino. She is forced to help her brother in law clear off his debts which was his original intent with his brother ( Becky's fiance ) it's all put to a stop by Cecil and Alegra as they're victorious as a team with Chester's help who is outside in a van on comms. This is all surface level fine but really for a final season of a show about The Flash I just didn't like this at all. Doing filler episodes in a final season is a crime because you're missing out on what could possibly be some great stories and characters showing up from the past. The episode finally ends with Khione's analysis from tests by Chester. Turns out Khione is not a meta-human or even a human for that matter. So just what is she?? a goddess?? a force of nature?? the new life force avatar?? it leaves a lot of possibilities open for what comes next. That's the episode and like I just said I really didn't like this one. Unfunny and boring two of the worst things you could want in a show especially in a final season. The Flash deserves better as a character then to be sidelined in his final season. I do not like Cecil as a character at all as all of her episodes just don't seem to flow right or even interest me. Everyone should be a side character to The Flash not the other way around. The show now takes a short hiatus and will return on March 29th with an episode revolving around Nia (Dreamer) from Supergirl which could be interesting. We'll have to just wait and see.

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...
