Star Wars: The Bad Batch: Season 2 Episode 2: Ruins of War: Review

 Though the ending is shocking, and the dynamic between the Bad Batch is great, the episode was still useless in the long run, and and it added nothing new!

Star Wars: The Bad Batch: Season 2 Episode 1: Spoils of War: Review

 While the Easter eggs are fun, and it is great to see the Clones back, Bad Batch's season 2 premier is boring, and the censoring is getting old.

Stargirl: Season 3 Episode 13: The Reckoning: Review

 Stargirl's series finale sends this amazing DC show off in the style that it deserves!

The opening flashback with Icicle and Dragon King digging up Starman's corpse was a truly haunting scene! I wondered if Starman had been brought back to life, but this was way more shocking than I could have imagined!

Pat digging himself out of his grave and arriving at the junkyard to spill the beans on Ultra-Humanite and Icicle's plan was not shocking, but Ultra-Humanite's reaction to seeing Pat again was too perfect!

Sofus not wanting to fight the JSA was something I knew would happen. He really just wanted peace, and only fought we he had to defend himself.

Lilly Mahkent's death was shocking! Some people called her a witch, and she was killed like the wicked witch from The Wizard of OZ. You cannot tell me that wasn't planned. Yolanda's reaction was way too perfect as well.

Cameron turning against his father and protecting Courtney went exactly how I imagined it would go. Jordan threatening to kill him was the moment I knew he had to die. Cameron went full on beast mode against his father, and it was a satisfying scene.

Courtney getting the staff back from the Ultra-Humanite, and then having Pat fight the Ultra-Humanite was a great scene. Joel McHale absolutely crushed his performance this season, and I was glad that he was able to showcase his acting chops. I loved that Pat defeated him by giving him brain damage by hitting him on the head with a rock.

Cameron leaving with his grandfather to protect Courtney was a great scene! I knew he would be back, but Hunter Sansone's acting was so good in this scene, as was Brec Bassinger's.

Cindy, Mike, and Jakeem battling Dragon King was a great scene! I was really glad that Jakeem got to save Cindy, but I did not expect it to happen the way it did. Whoever came up with the idea of turning Ultra-Humanite into a stuffed animal should be applauded.

Pat telling Courtney that he dug his way out of the hole by dislocating his thumbs was a great callback to Arrow. It was also nice seeing Pat and Courtney having another bonding moment between the two of them.

Mike meeting his mother in the diner was an unexpected scene. But I loved it when he came back to his parents, and called Barbara his real mom. Loved the development of Mike throughout this show, such good writing.

Courtney finding the Gambler's daughter and giving her the letter that he intended to give her was a satisfying scene. I was glad that they did not just brush over that, and actually had a moment where they acknowledged the Gambler! 

The Whitmore-Dugan's dog buddy trying to tear up the plush of Dragon King was a hilarious scene! Cindy saying, "Having fun, daddy?" was the perfect last line for her. The writing for Cindy was amazing, how you went from hating her, to absolutely feeling sorry for her, and then liking her again, should be applauded by these writers. Gonna miss her character the most.

Yolanda calling her mom was an emotional scene. I was glad that we never saw her reconcile with her parents, but I imagine that we would have seen it at some point.

Solomon Grundy returning was a nice touch as well! Kind of glad that he didn't show up at the last second, it would have felt too sloppy.

Courtney walking home, after giving Becky her father's letter, and passing by Jordan's old house was a great scene. I knew Cameron would return, and the way he did was so perfect. He made it snow for her again, and them reconciling was too perfect! Gonna miss both of them so much!

Icicle going back to Denmark, but then getting killed by Artemis was too perfect! Artemis finally got her revenge, and there is no way that Icicle survived that fire LOL. Wish we could've had a 4th season, so that we could have seen more Artemis, but it is what it is! Stella Smith did a great job, and I will miss her.

The 10 year flash forward scene was amazing. Jonathan Cake once again did a great job, and the reveals were great! Beth and Rick getting engaged was something I honestly never saw coming! I was so glad that Artemis and Cindy got to join the JSA also. I was also glad that Shade mentioned that they were able to find the real Starman's brain, and put him back inside of his own body!

The only few questions I had were 1. Did Courtney and Cameron get married? 2. Did Yolanda ever find a new boyfriend? 3. Did Cindy end up with Jakeem or Mike? 4. How did they end up curing Cindy? 5. Did Mike ever get to build something to help the JSA? 

Such a great show that I was able to watch! This short, but sweet, chapter of my life ends! And it was a show that I needed! Thank you Geoff Johns!

Stargirl: Season 3 Episode 12: The Last Will and Testament of Sylvester Pemberton: Review

 Next week will be a long review! I am so sad to see this show end! Especially after the major twist! The writers have done a great job!

The opening flashback was a very unnerving scene! Loved seeing the return of Dr. Shiro Ito/Dragon King! But I knew that wouldn't be the last we saw of him!

Starman insulting Pat was weird, I wondered what was going through his head, but it was even more disturbing than I could have imagined.

Courtney telling Starman that she is thankful everyday that Pat is her father was a great scene! Brec Bassinger has always done these kind of heartfelt scenes so well, and it is another reason why I will miss this show!

Jakeem using the pen to teleport him, Mike, and Cindy to one of Dragon King's old labs was the best scene in the series! Cindy, Mike, and Jakeem finding out that Dragon King's brain was inside of the Albino Gorilla was the best twist in the series! I love how Cindy immediately went into protection mode for Mike and Jakeem! She has a good heart.

The Ultra-Humanite being revealed to have put his brain inside of Starman's body was insane! At first, I thought the Ultra-Humanite may have put his body inside of the Wizard's body (Which would have been an epic twist!), but this was much more of a shock!

Ultra-Humanite taunting Pat while burying him alive was a creepy scene. I really hope they did not kill Pat! I doubt it, but this show kills people like crazy! We shall see!

Cannot believe that this show is ending next week! Going to miss it so much!

Stargirl: Season 3 Episode 11: The Haunting: Review

 Stargirl's 11th episode this season ups the emotion, and produces another outstanding episode in this amazing show!

The opening revealing how Icicle survived being run over confirmed all the fan theories. He is so much more powerful than I could have possibly imagined, makes me wonder what else he can do.

Courtney continuing to tell Sylvester, Pat, Barbara, Mike, Yolanda, and Jakeem that they need to team up with the Mahkents was a memorable scene because of when Pat and Sylvester begin to banter about Sylvester getting the last word in. Joel McHale and Luke Wilson's banters this season have been amazing!

The team getting a knock on the door, and Mike and Jakeem flying back in their seats was hilarious! Trae Romano and Alkoya Brunson have been amazing this season!

Artemis asking the JSA if they have seen her parents made me emotional. I knew that she was going to lose it when she found out what happened to her parents.

The JSA and Artemis going into the sewers and finding what was left of Sportsmaster and Tigress made me emotional. Stella Smith knocked it out of the park with her performance! I feel so bad for her, she has now lost everything! Her performance is another thing that makes me sad that this show is ending, we won't be able to see more of Stella, and what kind of potential she can bring.

Icicle coming back to his house and explaining to his family how he came back was an interesting scene. Though he claimed he wanted peace, I knew there was something more nefarious up his sleeve.

Barbara and Pat finding out that Sportsmaster and Tigress are dead was an emotional scene. Though they had some issues with them, Sportsmaster and Tigress were good friends to Pat and Barbara, and they know that it will hurt Artemis!

Barbara finding out that Icicle is back was a great scene! I am so glad that Barbara immediately told him that she didn't trust him. I also knew he was full of it, even before he claimed that he killed Sportsmaster and Tigress in self defense!

Starman hunting Ultra-Humanite was a great scene. I loved the reference to Planet of the Apes when Starman said, "Come out from wherever you're hiding you damn dirty ape." These are the kind of things that I love about this show!

Starman finding out that Icicle was alive was a great scene, the rage that Joel McHale can have while playing Starman is amazing! I don't blame him for being angry that Icicle is alive, that guy killed his friends, and Starman himself!

Starman telling Pat that he will kill Icicle the first chance he gets was a great scene. Some of Starman's comments in that scene were amazing, but I cannot blame him for being so angry. Icicle is coldblooded and always has something else up his sleeve.

Cameron visiting Courtney and telling her that he still wants to be with her was a very well written scene. Cameron and Courtney love each other so much, and they really want to make this work, but they both have a feeling that something else is at work.

Courtney visiting Jordan at the mural that Cameron painted for him was a very well acted scene by Brec Bassinger and Neil Jackson. Courtney definitely wants peace, but she just can't trust Icicle because of everything he has done.

Jakeem trying to use the pen to strip Icicle of his powers so he can't kill Mike was a hilarious scene. I loved how the pen told them he couldn't take Jordan's powers away because it would kill him, and the pen is incapable of killing people.

Cindy arriving at Jakeem's house and berating them for leaving all the doors unlocked reminded me of the scenes in Gotham where Selina would criticize Bruce's lack of security at his mansion. I loved it when Cindy agreed to protect and help Mike and Jakeem take down Icicle and Ultra-Humanite. I busted a gut when Cindy said that they are not calling themselves the Young All Stars. But the most hilarious moment came when Jakeem said, "She is sitting on my bed." and Cindy gave a weird look. Meg DeLacy's facial expressions this season have been hilarious, another thing I will miss about this show.

Artemis breaking a bunch of stuff in her room, and crying about her parents getting killed was an emotional scene that was perfectly done by Stella Smith. Barbara arriving to comfort her, and asking her to come live with them shows how perfect the writing has been for Barbara. She is truly a great mother, she has taken in her stepson Mike and treated him like her own son. She has also taken in Yolanda and treated her like her daughter, despite the bad blood between Yolanda and Courtney at the time. Now, she is taking in Artemis, and she is going to treat her so well, and comfort her in any way she can. Amy Smart is such a great actress.

Yolanda calling her mother and telling her that she was lying to protect her, and that she loves her was a great scene. While Yolanda and her mother have a lot of differences, Yolanda does love her mother, and wouldn't wish any kind of harm on her. Great writing for Yolanda this season!

Sylvester telling Courtney that he wants to hunt down and kill Icicle is going to be a major problem going forward. They are going to clash over this, and it will not be pretty. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if Starman dies again this season.

Icicle being revealed to be working with the Ultra-Humanite was not shocking at all. He harbors so much vengeance, and won't rest until he has taken revenge on the entire JSA.

I really think that Cameron will turn on his father and use his powers to protect Courtney and her team, because he will truly see how evil his father is. It also wouldn't surprise me if Jordan ends up killing his own father, because his father doesn't want anymore war, he just wants peace.

So sad this show is ending, but man has it had a great run! Love it so much!

Stargirl: Season 3 Episode 10: The Killer: Review

Too much yard work today! Too tired to write a long review. 

Wow! I am still in shock! I knew someone would die, but not both of them!

Mike and Jakeem running from Ultra-Humanite and encountering Cindy, who was trying to trap Ultra-Humanite, was a great scene! Loved seeing Meg DeLacy again! Still hope her and Mike end up together.

Rick still having anger issues because of overusing the hourglass is interesting. Pat warned him in the first season that this would happen! 

Courtney lying to Cameron about who killed Icicle was an emotional scene! I still think he will end up siding with Courtney!

Tigress protecting Barbara from Cameron's grandmother and teaching her how to use a crossbow was a great scene! Loved their friendship so much.

Mike and Jakeem telling Pat and Starman about what they encountered in the woods, and Starman and Pat later telling everyone who Ultra-Humanite is was a great scene! I had a feeling that this thing was a creation from Dragon King, but not in that way!

Sportsmaster and Tigress visiting the Mahkents and convincing them to back down was a great scene! Sportsmaster always had great humor!

Sportsmaster and Tigress finding out that Artemis was going to Nebraska was a scene that I knew was too perfect! I knew something was about to go down!

Sportsmaster and Tigress following a trail of pamphlets into the sewer was an obvious trap! The shocking moment that stunned me, was when they were stabbed by a masked figure, who revealed himself to be Jordan Mahkent/Icicle! 

I knew the one watching them had to be either Icicle or Dragon King! They kept focusing on that sewer too much, and that was the same spot where Icicle died! I still think Dragon King could be alive!

I cannot believe that they killed Larry and Paula! WHY!!! I really feel bad for Artemis! She is going to lose it. But knowing Barbara, she will take her in, and help her. Their house is getting full though! 

Great episode, but now I really hate Icicle! I have a feeling that Cameron will protect Courtney, and will have a huge fight with his father! Artemis may end up killing Icicle, or it will be Cameron. Starman will be coming for him also! It wouldn't surprise me if Icicle ends up killing his father also!

Stargirl: Season 3 Episode 9: The Monsters: Review

Busy day, way too tired to write a long review!

Holy cow! What a great episode! Outstanding action scenes, plenty of heartfelt moments that involved Pat, Barbara, Sportsmaster, and Tigress, plenty of well written humor, and a shocking plot twist at the end that reveals who killed the Gambler and who attacked Starman!

I am not familiar with the character Ultra-Humanite, but I still think that there is another mastermind involved, and I really think that it is either Dragon King (Either resurrected or somehow returning in Cindy's body), or Icicle!

Man I love this show, but I am sad to see it end!
