Superman & Lois 4x1 : The End and the Beginning review

 


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

Superman and Lois's final season has finally arrived and after what seemed like an age away it picks up right where season 3 ended. Superman vs Doomsday, it's a battle of the titans a battle too big for the Earth alone and it proves that when they end up dukeing it out on the moon. While that fight is on going back on Earth and Lex Luthor's plan of vengeance against Lois, Superman and her family is in full swing as not only has he had General Lane kidnapped by Mercy and Otis Graves he is hellbent on getting Lois out of the reporting game once and for all. Not only that be has also moved in to the hotel across from the Smallville Gazzette, he has an eye on Lois pretty much at all times. With all of that going on Lois begins to remenise about her past with Clark. We get some truly great scenes of the two interacting very early on in their relationship from the first time to together to Lois giving birth to the boys. It's all classic Superman and Lois and I loved it. 

Lex Luthor is a lot more ruthless as we saw last season but we do get a bit more background on just why he is targeting Lois and her family so heavily. It's because of his own daughter Elizabeth who pretty much blocked all contact with him when he was sent to prison. It's been 17 years since Lex has seen or even been in contact with her and it has drastically impacted him. So with General Lane kidnapped and left to be buried alive it's up to Lois and the boys to find her father to which Jordan does. He is rescued just as his air and oxygen levels are about to run out. It's a big blow for Otis and Mercy who fail Lex twice in this episode. 


The episode draws to a close as we go back to Superman doing battle with Doomsday on the moon. It's a battle of epic proportions and while it wasn't as long as I would've wanted it is really impactful and action fuled. Superman gets punched into a asteroid but recovers to try and stop Doomsday with his heat vision. A giant blast of energy is directed at Doomsday who barely flinches in the process, it uses this momentum and literally punches Superman through the same asteroid he had just crashed into, it breaks into pieces and as for Superman it's game over as Doomsday not only claims his cape and tears it leaving his body motionless in space but we later find out that Doomsday also took Superman's heart to give to Lex Luthor once it was back on Earth. The episode ends as Jordan hears Doomsday returning with Superman in his grasp, he lands right outside of the Smallville Diner as people panic all around. Doomsday yells out shows Superman in it's hand ultimately just throwing him to the ground before flying off. Lois and the boys arrive just in time to see all of this unfold right in front of them. Lois runs to check on Superman and as she turns his body around it's clear to see that he is gone. The episode fades out just as Lois looks back at the hotel where Lex is now staying. Brilliant. Simply brilliant. This was a perfect start to Superman and Lois's final season and proved once again just how excellent this show was and has been for so long now. Everything from the Superman / Doomsday battle to the interactions between Lois and Lex was fantastic. A flawless start to season 4!

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...
