The Flash: Season 7 Episode 2: the Speed of Thought: Review

 More twists and and turns are revealed in the 2nd episode, and it is epic.

Barry being able to think quicker at the cost of his emotion was a great way to showcase the acting by Grant Gustin. I haven't seen Barry vs the team since Savitar, and it was epic.

Eva going full on evil mode and trying to replace everyone with mirror duplicates is a great way to make her an even bigger threat. Hope she goes out with a bang next week (if her story line wraps up next week).

Killer Frost using Velocity X to fight Barry was no doubt one of the best moments on the show ever. It was really cool seeing someone else use the Speed Force that was not a speedster.

Barry frees Iris from the mirrorverse, and then seeing what the Artificial Speed Force is doing to him emotionally, decides to destroy it. It will be very interesting to see how he will get his speed back. Hope it has something to with Eobard Thawne.

The big twist at the end with Harrison Wells (The one that Eobard killed back in season 1), coming back to life was another great moment as well. Does Eobard have something to do with this, did he find a way to come back due to the new universe, is there something much more darker afoot, or nothing at all? We will just have to wait and see.

Overall, tonight's episode of The Flash has so much fun stuff, as well as a lot of jaw dropping plot twists, and a powerful performance Grant Gustin to make this one of the best episodes of the show.

WandaVision: Season 1 Episode 9: Review

 Quick review.

WandaVision's final episode has some good heartfelt moments, and a powerful performance from Elizabeth Olsen, but it is anti-climatic, has the worst twist in the MCU since the Mandarin, leaves too many questions unanswered, and gives no indication as to how the show ties into Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Superman and Lois: Season 1 Episode 2: Heritage: Review

 Episode 2 of Superman and Lois ups the drama, and twists in the best way possible.

Jordan and Jonathan Kent's character development has been very impressive. This show almost feels like Stargirl, except with a more serious tone. I am looking forward to seeing how the boys will continue to adapt to the new town.

Lois Lane quitting her job at the Daily Planet was a shocker. I am very impressed with the ways the writers are trying to separate these versions of the characters from previous versions of the characters in other movies and shows.

The reveal that Captain Luthor is from another Earth that was destroyed by an evil Superman is another excellent example of how the writing keeps impressing me. I good version of Lex Luthor that is just paranoid and wants revenge was the best way to go. I love it!

The acting in this series is much better than I was expecting. I love the fact that this show has a more serious tone to it, so the acting is better, because they had to cast more dramatic actors.

Overall, Superman and Lois' second episode is one of the best episodes for a show I have ever seen, and it looks like this show has a bright future ahead of it in many ways.

The Flash: Season 7 Episode 1: All's Well That Ends Wells: Review

 The flash returns in an emotionally strong episode that has us saying goodbye to no doubt the best actor in the series.

Nash, Chester, and Allegra working together to get Barry his speed back was very good. I loved the dynamic between the team, and while I was worried about how Allegra and Chester were going to mesh, they proved that they can hold their own, and I love their chemistry.

Iris being stuck in the mirror world was another way to showcase the strong acting by Candice Patton. Her acting just keeps getting better and better each season. I wonder what will happen to her when she does end up escaping the mirror world.

Nash sacrificing himself so Barry could get his speed back was the most emotional death of the series ever, and arguably the most emotional death in the Arrowverse, behind only Oliver Queen. Tom Cavanagh always gave his best when he played different versions of Harrison Wells, and I hope that he returns in some form, such as Eobard Thawne/Reverse Flash.

The ending where Eva realizes she isn't the real Eva had me confused. I really hope that they can clarify this next week.

I am going to miss Hartley Sawyer as Ralph (I still say that it was stupid why he got fired considering he made that tweet years and years ago), and nobody will be able to top him in my opinion.

Overall, despite a very confusing ending, Flash's season 7 premier starts off on a powerful and emotional note, that will thrill longtime fans of the series, and it features a stellar performance from Tom Cavanagh, and plenty of great humor as well.

WandaVision: Season 1 Episode 8: Review

Been busy, and The Flash is back tonight, so this will be a quick review.

Episode 8 of WandaVision finds Elizabeth Olsen giving her best performance, and it also has some excellent plot twists, a jaw dropping ending, plenty of emotion, and plenty of good things ahead of it for the finale later this week.

Superman and Lois: Season 1 Episode 1: Pilot: Review

 While it has its flaws, Superman and Lois has plenty of potential to justify its own existence.

While the overall story line lacked action, and the drama with the two twins felt forced, the story line's overall tone, heart, and questions more than made up for it. I love the tone of this series compared to The Flash.

The acting in this episode was superb, compared to other CW shows. Tyler Hoechlin is arguably the best actor to portray Superman, due to the different emotions he has to convey. Bitsie Tulloch arguably plays the best Lois Lane as well. The teenage actors also held their own very well, which surprised the heck out of me.

The villain being revealed as Captain Luthor surprised me. I think that he is from a different Earth, that was destroyed, and he blames Superman from a different universe for it. Should be interesting as to what transpires.

Overall, While it has some obvious flaws, the tone, acting, heart, and characterization in Superman and Lois is enough to justify its own existence, and it has the potential to be a very good show for the CW, to help them replace Arrow.

WandaVision: Season 1 episode 7: Review

 The true villain is finally revealed, and it was not who I was expecting. But I am happy about this, because it means that Mephisto can show up at a different time.

Episode 7 reveals all, but we still need to find out what the endgame is in all of this. The humor was really good in this episode as well, and hopefully the next 2 episodes will be stellar.
