Flash assembled arguably the best episode of the season, as it kept you guessing.
Nora's story line was great, and the return of Rag Doll was awesome. The new team of Rogues was the 2nd best, behind Captain Cold and Heat Wave. The plot twists in it, regarding Nora's true intentions, and Barry, Iris, and Joe's plan, was shocking. The cast was great as usual.
Cisco and Sherloque's small story line was great character development for both characters, and the one liners were drop dead funny. Carlos Valdes and Tom Cavanagh's chemistry has never lost in touch in any of the seasons.
Ralph and Caitlin's story line was hilarious. Ralph thinking Caitlin has feelings for him was hilarious, and both of their reactions were priceless. Hartley Sawyer has been so underused this season, hopefully they use him more next season.
The thing has still has me thinking, was the final shot of Grace working on her device, and then Orlin shows up. Two theories: 1. He faked his death to keep team Flash off his trail. 2. This is just a hallucination made by Grace to help comfort her, as she feels truly along, after murdering her Uncle. Either way, it was a great ides to do this. Hopefully, Cicada 2.0 makes a strong impression next week.
Overall, tonight's episode of the flash was arguably their best of the season, as it featured some great plot twists, strong chemistry between all of the cast members, a great new villain team, laugh out loud humor, and a strong buildup for next week's episode.

My Review of "Arrow: Season 7 Episode 20: Confessions"
A late plot twist is not enough to save the episode.
Them talking about there different sides of the story was repetitive, super annoying and boring. It also has done very little to advance the story line, but now I'm feeling like there is nothing left to tell at this point. The action scenes were not well done also.
The cast did well, Juliana Harkavy really had me going for a while. Colton Haynes returning was a strong point as well. The cast's chemistry with each other was great as well.
The reveal that Roy had died and they used a form of Lazarus pit to resurrect him was a great plot twist. The reveal that he killed two innocent men was a huge surprise as well.
Emiko, you are dead meat. Telling Oliver that you were somewhat responsible for the death of his father was a poor mistake on your part, goodbye Emiko.
Overall, despite a jaw dropping plot twist and strong performances from the cast, tonight's episode of Arrow suffers from an annoying central plot line, a cliche reveal of what Emiko plans to do, failing to make Emiko a threat, and poor action scenes, making this another disappointing episode.

My Review of "Gotham: Season 5"
Gotham exceeded my expectations and delivered a perfect season 5.
The No Man's Land story arc was amazing, as the setting and stakes were set higher then I had expected. The character's way of survival and drama was well done as well.
The characters came full circle and became who they were meant to be. Bruce, Selina, and Jeremiah's character development was the standout. Batgirl bring born was a huge surprise.
The action scenes were incredible and brutal. The standout battles were Bruce and Selina Vs the Mutant Gang, Bruce Vs Jeremiah, Bane Vs Alfred and Selina, and Bane Vs Bruce and Selina.
The acting was the most powerful acting on a television show that I have ever scene. I hope that the younger stars David Mazouz, and Camren Bicondova get more roles in the future. Cameron Monaghan's portrayal as Jeremiah Valeska AKA the Joker was the best part about the whole season. Shane West also portrayed a great villain in Bane as well, hope the show gets some Emmy nominations for the actors.
Overall, Gotham delivered on the emotion, characters coming full circle, incredible action scenes, powerful character development, stunning plot twists, and powerful performances from Cameron Monaghan, Shane West, Camren Bicondova, and David Mazouz, to produce what I think is the greatest single season of a tv show ever!

My Review of "Gotham: Season 5 Episode 12: The Beginning"
Gotham delivered an emotional ending to a powerful season.
Riddler trying to blow up Wayne Tower, but being thwarted by Barbara Kean and Selina Kyle was hilarious. Selina and Alfred's heart to heart talk about Bruce leaving her was very sad, but very well acted.
The Joker finally emerged, and made an impact. His dialogue with Jim at Ace Chemicals was intense. Batman arriving to stop him was intense.
Selina finally sees Bruce, while in his Batman uniform, for the first time in 10 years. Selina then reconciles with Bruce, and thus their legacy of their love for each other continues.
The final shot of Bruce as Batman looking at Alfred, Harvey, and Jim, was an excellent way to close out the series, but very sad.
Overall, Gotham delivered, and produced a satisfying episode, to an excellent series.

My Review of "Cobra Kai: Season 2"
Major Spoilers Ahead!!!!
The Karate Kid franchise will never die!
The series' story line, while still featuring some forced drama, and a little too much language, benefited from its sense of nostalgia, and setting up an emotional and intriguing season 3. Kreese taking control of Cobra Kai and turning Johnny's students, except for Miguel, against him was not something I saw coming. Hopefully, due to the tease at the end, Ali will return next season.
The characterization was the strongest aspect of the season. Kreese's return and backstory was definitely the highlight of it. How Hawk turned out was sad, but you saw it coming. Johnny and Daniel continued to let the past interfere with their personal lives. Miguel, after having a critical accident, is in a sticky situation in terms of what he needs to do with his life. Robbie and Samantha hit a turning point in their relationship, which felt way too forced. The return of Johnny's old biker gang was incredible.
The action scenes were better shot, choreographed, and had a great musical score to go with them. The best fight scenes were Johnny Vs Kreese, Johnny Vs Daniel, and the all out school fight between Daniel's students and Johnny and Kreese's. Whoever was the person in charge of these fights, needs a huge raise.
The acting was powerful as well. The standouts were Martin Kove and Jacob Bertrand. Whoever cast these kids needs a huge raise as well.
Overall, despite some forced drama and some unnecessary language, season 2 of Cobra Kai improves on everything that the first season did, and features a great buildup for season 3, sense of nostalgia, plenty of emotion, awesome character development, stunning pot twists, better shot action scenes, an excellent musical score, and strong performances from Martin Kove and Jacob Bertrand.

My Review of "The Flash: Season 5 Episode 19: Snow Pack"
While not as good as last week's, Flash still delivers.
The opening argument between Iris and Barry, regarding what he did with Nora, featured Candice's best acting ever, and Grant's best acting since season 2. I was totally on Iris' side, which is a first for me. However, both sides put up really good arguments.
Meanwhile, Icicle returned, to put the final stage of his plan into works. He then kidnaps Caitlin and her mother, with his plan being to make them a frosty family. However, Caitlin outsmarted him and they got into a snowy battle. Caitlin's father finally destroys his alternate personality and he returns to normal.
This aspect of the plot to me, while having good acting from the Snow family, and good visuals, felt way too predictable.
Iris and Ralph go to the future to bring Nora home, behind Barry's back. Ralph's one liners while in the future were hilarious.
Nora then asks Thawne how he is able to travel back in time without Barry realizing it. Thawne then reveals to her that he created his own speed force called the Negative Force. I went nuts at that reveal, the long running rumors were confirmed.
Nora then taps into her rage upon seeing Iris and realizing that Barry did not come with her, thinking that Barry dies not love her anymore, she then harnesses the power of the Negative Force and travels back to 2019.
Thawne's facial expressions when he sees the rage building in her was priceless, but I wonder whether this was part of his plan or not.
Cicada 2.0 arrives to steal a device from the Snow family and it ends with Cicada killing Thomas Snow, while he was protecting Caitlin. I was stunned, great plot twist.
Iris then reveals to Barry what has happened with Nora, and he then apologizes for making the decision to take her home without consulting her or the team. Iris then reveals that she thinks Thawne may truly care about Nora, but she does not know why.
Three theories on that: 1. Nora really is Thawne's daughter, and Barry and Iris may have raised her as their own. 2. Thawne cares about her because it will help him forge his own path as a hero. 3. He needs her for his master plan, which is to destroy Barry.
Overall, despite a predictable Snow story line, tonight's episode of The Flash features some great visuals, well done humor from Ralph, strong dialogue, stunning plot twists, and powerful performances from Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Jessica Parker Kennedy, and Tom Cavanagh, to keep its hot streak going.

My Review of "Arrow: Season 7 Episode 19: Spartan"
This is going to be a quick review, mainly because all that I had written ended up getting deleted on accident, so this will be brief.
Tonight's episode of Arrow failed to advance the plot and focused too much on Diggle's backstory, and made me cringe at Sea Shimooka's acting. However, it did feature some great flash forward sequences, well shot action scenes, and strong performances from Stephen Amell, Emily Bett Rickards, and David Ramsey. Ultimately, it is another disappointing episode.

My Review of "Gotham: Season 5 Episode 11: They Did What?"
Gotham once again did it, and delivered one of their best episodes of the series.
The firefight that they teased at the beginning of the season was excellent. Penguin's one liners were great. Bane taking matters into his own hands was well done as well.
Bruce and Selina, though she was reluctant, ended up blowing up Wayne Tower to stop Bane. As they were making their way back to the GCPD Bane attacked them. Selina managed to stab him and Bruce unleashed Bats on him. Love the foreshadowing with the Bats, and the fight scene was well done.
The battle between Gordon and Nyssa was well done also. Loved it when Barbara ended up stabbing her with the same knife she killed Ra's with. Although she did survive, she ends up stealing Penguin and Riddler's boat, angering the two.
The army ended up turning against Bane, and he was left with no other choice but to surrender. As they were celebrating there victory, Barbara named her baby Barbara Lee Gordon, to remind her of she can trust. Glad they named her Barbara, and I'm glad that Barbara Kean did not die.
The scene between Bruce and Selina on the steps of the GCPD was sad. A worried Bruce told Selina that he thought he was going to lose her, but Selina assures him that she is not going to leave him, and that she will be there whenever he needs her. Her laying on his arm was a sweet nod to her nickname. With this technically being their last scene together (because Camren Bicondova will not be playing Catwoman is the series finale) it shows that their chemistry was strong these past 5 seasons.
Jim Gordon ended up becoming commissioner. After years of waiting, he finally got the position that he earned, and the one fans had been waiting for since the showed air.
Penguin and Riddler then began plans of taking over Gotham. Robin Lord Taylor and Cory Michael Smith gave their best, and solidified themselves as the best people to ever play Penguin and Riddler.
The saddest part was when Bruce left Gotham. His goodbye to Alfred was a very sad one, but the true sad part was when he left Selina a note, and she tried to come to the airport to see him, but she was unable to talk to him before he left. Camren Bicondova's facial expressions spoke everything you needed to see, as she saw the boy she loved, leave her without giving her a proper goodbye, or even asking her to come with him.
Overall, Gotham delivered on this episode due to its strong emotional ending, well shot action scenes, setting the stage for Batman's rogue gallery, tying up some loose ends, and strong performances from Ben Mckenzie, Erin Richards, David Mazouz, Camren Bicondova, Robin Lord Taylor, and Cory Michael Smith, to produce another awesome episode to the series.

My Review of "The Flash: Season 5 Episode 18: Godspeed"
The 4 week wait was definitely worth it.
Nora's backstory was very sad and Jessica Parker Kennedy sold her performance, solidifying my claim that she has been the strong point of the season. Her interactions with Eobard were epic. Tom Cavanagh continues to impress with me with his portrayal of Eobard Thawne.
I was very disappointed with Godspeed. While the costume, lightning, and voice while underneath the mask was epic, the characterization sucked!!!! The comic version is so much better, and his motive's are really good.
Nora fighting Godspeed and Thawne helping her was so epic. The callback to episode 17 of season 1 was epic. Then when Nora found Barry's message to her before he disappeared was very sad.
Iris, not giving up on her daughter, gave her the chance to explain everything. After she did, Barry, behind the team's back, took her back to 2049 and warned her to never come back, saying he couldn't trust her anymore. Very selfish of Barry, and I hope Iris and the team chew him out and belittle him.
The final scene was arguably the best acting of the season. Barry came face to face with Eobard, by visiting him in his cell. Barry then taunted Thawne about how he, Eobard, would finally be dead soon, and that he was going to love it.
Eobard has a master plan in play, in my opinion. He is soon going to get out and and come for Barry. I love that they are building up something massive with Eobard. The writing for him has never been bad.
Overall, while Godspeed was disappointing, tonight's episode of the Flash was great and featured some excellent dialogue, clever callbacks to season 1, very emotional moments, and strong performances from Jessica Parker Kennedy and Tom Cavanagh.

My Review of "Arrow: Season 7 Episode 18: Lost Canary"
Spoilers Ahead!
Before I write my review I would just like to say, it feels good to be back to writing TV show reviews again.
Arrow does well when focusing on friendship tonight, but fails to advance the main story arc and fails tonight's episode miserably.
Laurel Lance going back to evil was predictable and almost disappointing, largely due to Shadow Thief, who just fells like a ripoff of Catwoman. Luckily, it featured the return of Sara Lance, and strong chemistry between the four female leads to help somewhat redeem it .
Oliver and John's story line was so dull and weak. The dialogue and performances felt so out of place. Stephen Amell and David Ramsey did not give their best and it showed. The reveal that Dante was the one who hired the Longbow hunters to kill Emiko's mother was predictable as well.
The flash forwards were dull as well. They did nothing to advance the plot, and the only good thing about it was them revealing that Laurel is still around to help them in the future. The cast did not do great either, and the action scenes were badly shot and performed.
Overall, tonight's episode of Arrow failed miserably due to the lack of plot advancement for the main story arc, a horrible ripoff of Catwoman, badly shot action scenes, and poor performances from Stephen Amell, David Ramsey, Katherine McNamara, and Carmel Amit.
The only redeeming qualities were the return of Sara Lance and the chemistry between Emily Bett Rickards, Juliana Harkavy, Katie Cassidy, and Caity Lotz.
