The Flash 9x7 : Wildest Dreams review

 


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

Last time out we got one of the worst Flash episodes in some time. It was boring and in a final season was almost a crime to include it given the little time allotted this season. Can this episode be better and get things back on track?? well the episode opens up with a returning Nia from Supergirl (Dreamer) we see her in a dream seemingly searching for something. People begin to appear behind her as she ventures forward. She is stopped in her tracks though when a mysterious figure appears. It is a hooded figure with only bright blue eyes visible. Iris of all people is here too and upon her turning up a wave of energy engulfs the screen ending the dream almost instantly. Nia awakens in Jitters and immediately leaves saying she needs to go to Central City seemingly to see Iris. 

Speaking of Iris we're soon with her at her workplace and Alegra has her new article about the Red Death ready to publish upon approval. Turns out however that this is the same article that wins Iris a Pulitzer award as the headline is the same one from Barry's map-book of future events we saw a couple of episodes back. Iris is hesitant to publish the article for the time being saying that she needs to sleep on it before finally deciding. This is when Nia enters her office and tells her of her dream. Not only was Iris in it but she died too. Nia also has lost her powers thanks to this mysterious hooded figure, she tries to use her powers in front of Iris but it's no use. They end up getting interrupted by the hooded figure who transports them into a dream-world. Both Nia and Iris awake in CCPD and both are Police Officers. Iris who tells Nia that she always wanted to be an Officer like her dad is seemingly okay with everything going on but Nia wants out immediately. They do manage to get out of this dream but walk straight into another this time one where the entire Team Flash work at Jitters which is where Iris once worked. Surely this is all got to do with Iris right?? well yes and no. 


The episode draws to a close as Iris and Nia almost lifeless bodies are brought to Star Labs after being found by Barry in Iris's office. Chester informs everyone that it's not looking good at the moment for them as they're merging dreams together and once that happens both will begin to experience organ failure and ultimately death. It's looking pretty bleak for Nia and Iris who inside are beginning to experience one dream and one dream only. It is the same from the beginning of the episode where Iris died. Nia attempts to take control back and give in to this hooded figure but it all actually turns out okay as this person turns out to be the original Dreamer. She holds a supreme amount of Dream Energy. She restores Dreamer to her powerful state and even agrees to train her leading her to learn and hone new abilities. As for Iris she is okay and is soon back with Team Flash after quite an ordeal in the dream-world. She definitely learned a lot and her character went through quite a bit of an arc here which I did like. Same with Nia. The episode ends at Star Labs with Nia saying her goodbyes to everyone as this is probably her entire story arc wrapped up in the Arrowverse. As for the episode as a whole I just have similar problems to this episode that I had for the last episode in terms of doing this now. It was great to see Nia back don't get me wrong but this is something you do a in a regular season not a final season of a show especially a show like The Flash. It's not a bad episode by any means and is a lot better than the last one but this season man it just feels off to me which is a shame.

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...
