Andor Update

 Even though I like Andor, I hate the pacing, and I find myself feeling that it lacks a lot of fan service. So, I have decided to stop watching the series. I am not too impressed with it, and I prefer shows like Obi-Wan Kenobi and The Mandalorian that have actual things I would like to see, such as cameos, and callbacks to previous movies.

Andor: Season 1 Episode 6: The Eye: Review

 While not as exciting as it could have been,Andor continues to deliver on writing, well done characterization, continuing to have a darker and grim tone, and stellar visual effects to make it a great episode!

Stargirl: Season 3 Episode 8: Infinity Inc. Part 2: Review

 Going to make this a shorter review!

Really wish the other members of the JSA would have been in this episode, only reason why it doesn't get a perfect rating

I loved Mister Bones' origins. I am really wondering if Dragon King created him? It would make sense, I mean Dragon King was known for doing a lot of experiments in the past!

I loved watching Shade and Pat in the shadowlands, they have great chemistry together. 

I knew that Mister Bones was not the one watching them! The last scene, where it showed a hooded figure watching them, tells me that it is someone we have already seen! I really believe that it is Dragon King. If not, it has to be Brainwave or Icicle! If Dragon King is behind it all, I believe that Grundy was the one that wrecked the Gambler's RV.

The Shade going with Todd and Jennie was neat! I really believe that this episode was a backdoor pilot for a new show called, Infinity Inc. (Something I again predicted months ago!) Mister Bones even seemed to hint that they would form the team! And there is no way that they showed those three inmates at the Helix Institute just for a cameo! They have a new show planned, which was honestly set up better than how Green Arrow tried to set up that Green Arrow and the Canaries show in the past.

Pat is really going to try and make amends with Mike, after seeing what he saw in the Shadowlands! I really hope Mike and Jakeem continue to contribute to this season's mystery!

Looking forward to seeing what happens next!

Andor: Season 1 Episode 5: The Axe Forgets: Review

 Finally got around to watching this again!

While the lack of action scenes is still a huge problem, Andor's 5th episode delivers on the strong character development, stunning cinematography, well acted on every part, and setting the stage for a huge battle in the next episode!

Top 10 Things I Want To See in Superman & Lois: Season 3

Honorable Mentions

Jordan and Lana have more scenes together that involve him reassuring Lana that he will protect Sarah with his life, and that he will love her deeply.

Jordan's anxiety coming back with a vengeance this season, due to his powers getting stronger.

Sarah realizing how dangerous it is to be a superhero, thus making her respect Clark, Jordan, John Henry Irons, and Natalie Irons even more.

Sarah gets hurt while helping Jordan, Jonathan, and Natalie investigate Bruno, which leads to her and her mother having a serious argument about her involvement with Jordan.

10. Jordan and Sarah fully reconcile, and share a floating kiss.

9. Jordan gets his own arch-enemy.

8. Jon Cryer returns as Lex Luthor 

7. Jonathan and Natalie have more screen time together, and become a major duo. 

6. Jordan, Sarah, Jonathan, and Natalie have scenes where they try and do their own investigation and try to help take down the villain, and then get yelled at by their parents.

5. Jordan, after not heading his parents' advice, is seriously beaten and badly injured by a villain, and goes to Lana's house, so as to avoid suffering his parents' wrath (Mainly his mother's) and is taken care of by Lana and Sarah

4. Tal-Rho gets more scenes with the twins, and with Lana.

3. Clark gets to be a reporter more, which plays a part in the discovery of what Bruno Mannheim is doing.

2. Superman doing more street level hero saving this season, like the montages we got in the first season.

1. Bruno Mannheim reveals that the one giving him alien weaponry is Darkseid, thus setting the stage for Darkseid to be the main villain in season 4, and the season ends with a scene on Darkseid's home world, Apokolips, with a shot of Darkseid, DeSaad, Granny Goodness, and a legion of Parademons.

Stargirl: Season 3 Episode 7: Infinity Inc. : Part 1: Review

 Stargirl's 7th episode this season ups the stakes, and delivers a satisfying episode that gets the story line excellently, while raising more questions!

The opening flashback set six months ago with Todd and Jennie's powers being unleashed was a lot more serious than I was expecting. It looks like Todd and Jennie are some kind of Yin/Yang in terms of how their powers work.

Todd arriving at The Helix Institute For Youth Rehabilitation and meeting Nurse Love and Mister Bones was a great scene! I loved Bones' design, and Keith David was the perfect voice actor for Bones. I still feel that there is more going on with Bones then the show is letting on! 

The Whitmore-Dugan family, after finding out that there are cameras all over the town, trying to have a normal family dinner was a drop dead hilarious scene! Pat praying the pledge of allegiance left me laughing so hard. The show's humor has always been perfect.

Jakeem, Zeek, and Rick having a game night, while trying to act normal, was a great scene also! I loved how Starman, through an earpiece, was insulting all of them for not acting normal! Again, the humor on this show was so well written.

Beth cutting the power in Blue Valley so they could get rid of the security cameras was interesting, mainly because of how the person watching the cameras reacted. After this episode, I do not think that the person watching the cameras is Mister Bones, and I will explain why later. I also have a theory as to who the mysterious person is.

The Shade arriving at the Whitmore-Dugan house, after Pat and Courtney disabled a few cameras in their basement, was a great scene! I loved seeing the Shade again, and his dialogue in that scene was perfect.

The Shade taking Courtney, and Pat unintentionally, to meet with Jennie was a great scene! I never realized how fun and hilarious it would be to have Shade and Jennie interact! I loved how the Shade was constantly berating Jennie for burning down a tea house, and telling her that making tea isn't as easy as it looks.

Todd being experimented on by Mister Bones and Nurse Love was a very interesting scene! Which brings me back to something I mentioned earlier. How could Mister Bones have gotten back to The Helix Institute, after being in Blue Valley, so quickly?! Something is not adding up! Bones is not the one watching them, IMO. Someone else is, and I will explain who I think it is later.

Yolanda getting kicked out of her house by her mother was a sad scene. Her parents are officially the worst! I was glad that she came to Courtney's house though! At least there she will be loved, and cared for by Courtney and her family! And who knows, maybe Mike will fall in love with her LOL. (I would like it though if Rick ends up with Yolanda, and I really want to Mike and Cindy to become a couple.)

Jennie, The Shade, Pat, and Courtney trying to rescue Todd was a shocking scene! Todd didn't want to be rescued, and warned Jennie that he would destroy the world if she tried to save him. I guess my theory was wrong, Todd is not the murderer! Todd can't be because he has been at the Helix Institute for 6 months!

Todd unleashing his powers and causing Pat and the Shade to go to the Shadowlands was a shocking scene! Great way to end the episode, and I am looking forward to watching Pat and The Shade interact more!

Now, as to who the person watching the cameras is, I believe that it is non-other than Dr. Shiro Ito/Dragon King! Dragon King had cameras set up all over Blue Valley in the first season, and I really believe that he managed to find a way to survive Cindy stabbing him in the heart! 

I also think that it would be a great twist if you find out that Bones was one of the experiments done by Dragon King, and Bones is trying to hunt down and kill Dragon King for turning him into a walking Skeleton! I really think that Bones is not the villain, and there is truly more going on than they are saying! I wouldn't be surprised if the murderer is actually Solomon Grundy, and he was brought back to life by Dragon King! Please do not ruin this CW!

Hope Sportsmaster, Tigress, Artemis, and Cindy return soon! Love this show so much!

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Season 1 Episode 8: Alloyed: Review

 While Durin IV's presence was missed, episode 8 of The Rings of Power answers the two questions I had, and I was spot on with my predictions. The Stranger was exactly who I thought he was, and Sauron was also who I thought he was!

The Rings of Power's season finale is a satisfying ending that leaves me excited for the 2nd season, and I really want to watch Adar fight Sauron next season!

Stargirl: Season 3 Episode 6: The Betrayal: Review

 Getting over a cold, so this will be a quick review.

Stargirl's 6th episode this season begins to put all the pieces of the puzzle in place, while delivering on the arrival of Mister Bones, Cindy and Yolanda's rivalry and fight scene, strong emotional moments with Courtney, an intense scene between Pat and Barbara with Cameron's grandparents, and laugh out loud humor from Mike and Jakeem in their attempt to woo Cindy.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Season 1 Episode 7: The Eye: Review

 While lacking the action of the previous episode, the Rings of Power's penultimate episode delivers on the beautiful cinematography, setting up a major battle, continuing to tease the arrival of the Dark Lord Sauron, deepening the mystery as to who Sauron is, and deepening the mystery as to who the mysterious stranger this.

At this point, I believe that Sauron is either 1. The Stranger. 2. Bronwyn. 3. Halbrand. 4. Galadriel. 5. Theo.

I also loved the interactions between the Dwarves and Elrond. Looking forward to seeing the arrival of the Balrog, and I hope Durin IV and Elrond slay it.

Stargirl: Season 3 Episode 5: The Thief: Review

 Quick review, very busy today!

Stargirl's 5th episode this season is easily another great episode that features plenty of heartfelt scenes between characters, lots of laugh out loud humor, advancing the plot very well, and has strong performances from the cast, mainly Joel McHale as Starman, Brec Bassinger as Courtney, Meg DeLacy as Cindy, and Neil Hopkins and Joy Osmanski as Sportsmaster and Tigress!

On a quick note, I cannot believe that Mike has fallen in love with Cindy!!!! Please make their relationship work! It would be freaking hilarious, and funnier than him and Artemis in love.

The Lord of the Rings: Season 1 Episode 6: Udun: Review

 The Rings of Power's 6th episode ups the stakes in the best way possible, while delivering on the long awaited action scenes (Which are spectacular by the way), teasing the arrival of Sauron (Who I believe is Halbrand is disguise), continuing to have the dark and gritty tone, and the ending which, in my opinion, is the formation of the land of Mordor, where Sauron and the Orcs will live.

Loved Joseph Mawle as Adar in this episode, I could have lived with him being the villain the whole series, and not Sauron.
