Stargirl: Season 1 Episode 2: S.T.R.I.P.E.: Review
Stargirl's second episode ups the stakes and produces another great episode.
The story line with Brainwave hunting Stargirl was a great story line due to its suspense, and performance by Christopher James Baker. Brainwave is one intimidating villain, and Baker helps due to his voice, and looks that he gives.
The scene with Brainwave and and Wizard, a member of the Injustice society of America, was great. The fact that another member of the Injustice Society is living in this town has me wondering, due all of the members of the Injustice Society live in Blue Valley? Christopher James Baker showcased how intimidating he can be, and I'm wondering if Wizard doesn't want to be a member of the Injustice anymore.
The final battle scene between Brainwave, Stargirl, and S.T.R.I.P.E. was a great fight scene due to the way that they were able to take down Brainwave. I couldn't help but chuckle when they took Brainwave to the hospital and they claimed that he had a stroke, due to him threatening to kill Stargirl's mother and claim that she died of a stroke.
The ending between Stargirl and S.T.R.I.P.E. was great. I love the chemistry between Brec Bassinger and Luke Wilson. I am also really looking forward to the new Justice Society of America being formed, and when they get more villains to help them.
The ending with Icicle showing up Blue Valley and going into the Injustice's headquarters was great, due to Solomon Grundy's small cameo, and the reveal that Barbara's boss is a member of the Injustice Society of America. I am really looking forward to when all of the Injustice is reunited, and what kind of twists they have planned for who is a member.
Overall, Stargirl ups the stakes, and continues to advance the story line and produce another great episode, which also features an intimidating villain, strong performances from its cast, and some surprising plot twists.

Stargirl: Season 1 Episode 1: Pilot: Review
DC has a new show, that boasts plenty of promise, and lots of charm from its lead actress.
The opening was awesome, it looked like something straight out of a comic book. I loved the part where Starman told S.T.R.I.P.E. that he was not be the next Starman. I was laughing so hard. The CGI and villains in this opening were amazing also.
The story line of Courtney and her family moving into a new town felt like the perfect old school vibe to this new series. I am looking forward to seeing how they develop her classmates, and what kind of roles they will play in the future.
The scene where the staff took her to the drive-in had me dying of laughter. I completely lost it when she destroyed the car. Once again, the pilot had great humor, and I am really loving the old school charm that this show has.
The ending where she was confronted by Brainwave, a member of the Injustice Society, was surprising, as I didn't expect her to confront any villains until later in the series. Christopher James Baker played a great part as Brainwave, and I am looking forward to seeing him again, and other villains that they have planned for this show.
The last scene where Stargirl was confronted by S.T.R.I.P.E. had me dying of laughter. I did not expect him to be the giant robot from Crisis on Infinite Earths! I am excited to see him train her in the upcomming episodes.
Overall, DC has a new show in town that looks to be a fun ride due to its tone, old school vibes, well done humor, and strong performances from its lead actress.

The final season of the Clone Wars sends this beloved series out on a great note thanks to its well written story arcs, tying into Revenge of the Sith, Order 66 finally happening, plenty of strong emotion, powerful dialogue, strong character development, powerful voice acting from all of its cast, and a finale that well please longtime Star Wars fans who have waited for this finale.

The Flash: Season 6: Review
When it comes to writing a full season review, I'm going to make it brief.
While it had to end early, it was still an overall solid season, but one that should have been better.
The first half of the sixth season benefited from its humor, tone, characterization and writing of Dr. Bloodwork (Who was one of the best villains on this show since Zoom, and one of the best villains in the Arrowverse since Prometheus), some surprisingly well done action scenes, incredible CGI, some genuinely creepy moments, well written dialogue, and strong performances from Sendhill Ramamurthy and Grant Gustin.
While the second half of the season suffered from its confusing narative, and pacing, it heavily benefited from its strong emotion, well done new characters, an overall solid villain in Mirror Master, return of Eobard Thawne (even if it was only two episodes, he was more fun to watch in some ways then Mirror Master), well done dialogue, and strong performances from Hartley Sawyer, Efrat Dor, Natalie Dreyfuss, and Candice Patton.

Arrow: Season 8: Review
When it comes to writing a full season review, I'm going to make it brief.
The eight and final season of Arrow was not what I was expecting, but in a solid way. While I wish that the season had a main villain, and better villains of the week, it was still a satisfying conclusion to one of the best superhero shows of all time due to its emotion, sense of nostalgia, strong action scenes, great plot twist, potientially setting up an exciting new show about Oliver and Felicity's daughter, strong chemistry between the Queen family, and an unforgettable finale.

The Flash: Season 6 Episode 19: Sucess Is Assured: Review
While it is sad that the season had to end early, at least it ended with a great episode!!
The team having to protect Joseph Carver was a great story line due to its action scenes, humor, and performances from its cast. Efrat Dor delivered another great performance, and she was able to get under my skin very easily, no villain has ever done that on this show.
Ralph and Sue had a good story line as well. The chemistry between the two actors is great, and I'm looking forward to seeing them together in the next season, especially considering how her story line ended.
Iris and Kamilla's story line was great as well. Iris starting to have the same symptons as Eva due to her exposure to the Mirror Dimension was shocking. I am so mad I have to wait till next season to figure out what happened to Iris, and why she disappeared.
I really do not see where Caitlin's story line is going. While Danielle Panabker has come out and said that she is not leaving the series, it really feels like she is. I know this has something to do with the reveal that her mom has the same kind of ice powers as her back in season 5, but they have made no progress with it. This was the only thing a didn't like about the episode.
Eva killing her husband Joseph was a shock for me. I really did not expect him to die until next season. Eva blaming his death on Sue adds a lot of intrigue for me also, and it should be interesting to see where Sue goes from here. I'm also looking forward to seeing how they advance her relationship with Ralph next season also.
Overall, season 6 of the Flash ends on a great note due to its stunning ending, plenty of shocking plot reveals, surprisingly well done action scenes, setting up an intriguing 7th season, and strong performances from Efrat Dor, Hartley Sawyer, Natalie Dreyfuss, and Grant Gustin. And I am very excited for when this show comes back.

The Flash: Season 6 Episode 18: Pay the Piper: Review
This will be a quick review, as I've decided that an episode has to be very good in order to right a long review.
Episode 18 of the Flash hits a huge speed bump before the finale due to its lack of advancing the plot, too many sappy motivational speeches, and once again wasting Godspeed. However, the episode benfits from its mention of Atlantis, some well done humor, clever dialogue, strong chemistry between Ralph and Killer Frost, and strong performances from Tom Cavanagh and Grant Gustin.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Season 7 Episode 12: Victory and Death: Review
The series finale for the Clone Wars does not disappoint due to its strong animation, terrific action scenes, plenty of powerful emotion, explaining what happened to Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex, Darth Maul showing off his full power, showing the end of the Clone Wars, and the final scene with Darth Vader finding Ahsoka's old lightsaber (which was the perfect final shot in my opinion).

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Season 7 Episode 11: Review
Order 66 begins in this emotional penultimate episode of the Clone Wars. The episode benefits from its callbacks to season 6 with the Clone Trooper Fives, tying into Revenge of the Sith, explaining how Captain Rex is a good guy in Rebels, Maul's brutal action scenes that callback to Darth Vader's Rogue One scene, plenty of emotion, and strong voice performances from its cast to deliver another perfect episode.
