Batwoman made it two episodes away from their original planned finale before having their season cut short by the virus. This means that 20 has become the season finale for the first season of the show, and while other shows like Flash or Supergirl who are in later seasons may not be impacted as much on a critical level, this was the big finale to the freshman season of Batwoman which means it is the season under the most scrutiny by fans and viewers. So how much does this unintentional season finale affect the story being told in this first story? I'm here to give my thoughts on it in my review of Batwoman's season 1 finale!

That was the introduction of the villain for our new season finale and ...

We recently got the impromptu season finale for the Flash's 6th season on the air, and it'll be our last Flash episode for a while so it was what left us with thoughts to cover the next several months until season 7 is put into production and released. Despite being an unintentional finale, the episode had a lot of merit as the final episode of the season and appropriately wrapped up a few big storylines while leaving a lot of cliffhangers for us to dwell on. So with a fair amount to talk about, here is my review of the Flash's season 6 finale. (Image Source) Related posts: The Flash S06 EP18 spoiler review The Flash S06 EP17 spoiler review First off, there was no Atlantis in this episode like I was afraid of and I don't think Cisco was even mentioned by any of the characters, making this the first season finale not to include him. Other barely used characters included Caitlin/Killer Frost who had a couple scenes with Caitlin's mom who was working towar...

Batwoman has its penultimate episode of the season this week and I'm here to give my thoughts on everything that went down. There is definitely some build up going towards some major conflicts in the season finale next week, along with some major teases for the future of the show as well as some character exploration going on. So here is what I thought of the episode! (Image Source) Related posts: Batwoman S01 EP18 spoiler review Batwoman S01 EP17 spoiler review First off the episode began with a fight between Luke and Kate after Kate lost the journal to Reagan last episode. The two ended up storming away from one another, refusing to work together after they couldn't come to a mutually shared conclusion which Mary tried to enact. With this lull in teamwork, Kate confronted Reagan who admitted to stealing the journal but doesn't know who Magpie gave it to. Meanwhile, Luke confronts Julia about her unwarranted interest in the journal and the fact that she no lo...

Flash had its unintentional penultimate chapter of season six recently as the virus has caused the original 3 final episodes of the season to be cancelled! Does it hold up as a lead up to the finale? Well, that's what I'm here to talk about! So here is my review of the Flash's 18th episode of season 6! (Image Source) Related posts: The Flash S06 EP17 spoiler review The Flash S06 EP16 spoiler review The episode starts with a great moment of Barry finding Joe and talking to him about Iris being missing, which definitely set the more serious tone for the coming two episodes. The tone more or less continued throughout the episode as the team quickly found themselves distracted by the return of Godspeed! He is definitely one of my favorite recent villains to make their debut and the criminal under use of him in season 5 and at the beginning of this season still hasn't been quite rectified by this episode. In order to stop him though with Barry's reduced spee...

Batwoman's latest episode did a lot for furthering the story of the season it seemed, or at least having something built towards including a new storyline for Alice to follow while in jail. We also got a major great set up for an iconic Batman foe taking on his full comic book appearance! A lot to talk about, so I'll head on in! (Image Source) Related posts: Batwoman S01 EP17 spoiler review Batwoman S01 EP16 spoiler review The episode started off with Batwoman having a great fight scene and breaking up a group of meeting mobsters, though one of the head figures escapes. She returns to the Wayne building where Mary greets her with a celebratory drink, though questions how exactly they celebrate when Kate simply sticks her hands into the ice to soak her knuckles. I thought that was a great moment that was fitting in with Mary's character, while also asking how exactly do superheroes celebrate small victories like that that aren't supervillains? Just another ...

Flash had its 17th episode of the season this Tuesdy and I really enjoyed it. The episode wasted no time with its premise and by the ends things felt revved up for some major events in the coming episodes! The plot was pushed forward very heavily which felt awesome after Eva and Black Hole haven't felt like they've really done anything yet. Here is my review and thoughts on the episode! (Image Source) Related posts: The Flash S06 EP16 spoiler review The Flash S06 EP15 spoiler review To start off I'll talk about the side story with Ralph, Cisco, and Caitlin. There wasn't anything wrong with it, but with only two scenes devoted to it and having no connection to anything else in the episode, it felt a little disposable. Caitlin was sick in her apartment when Cisco and Ralph came to visit, and eventually used Ralph as a pair of jumper cables to heat her up. Caitlin says that the wound she got from Doctor Light several weeks ago ruptured and she tried to use he...

Batwoman came back from its break tonight with an episode that I really enjoyed! We got a fun deep cut for the villain of the week, while also getting a few storylines pushed forward a great deal! I'm excited to talk about what went down on Sunday, so here is my review of the season's 17th episode! (Image Source) Related posts: Batwoman S01 EP16 spoiler review Batwoman S01 EP15 spoiler review I'll start off with the Alice stuff because I'm not as into her storyline as everything else. We got a lot of her in Arkham, causing a disruption in other inmates such as Tommy Elliot who is bent on proving he is better than Bruce Wayne. We also get to see Magpie again, who I didn't peg as insane when we last saw her. Alice and Mouse are together with the latter beginning to relish being inside Arkham where it is safe and he is handed everything essentially, but Alice wants more. She previously spied that Elliot had a hidden weapon which he used on her when provoke...

Flash finally came back from break with a pretty fun episode that had a lot of major ramifications on the status quo of the characters, as well as featuring a past villain coming back for round 3. Here is my review of the season 16th episode! (Image Source) Related posts: The Flash S06 EP15 spoiler review The Flash S06 EP14 spoiler review One storyline I was looking forward to that didn't get as much attention as I would have liked as the return of Sue Dearbon and Ralph going after her. Ralph finds that she's been stealing from all over the place and in the process of setting up a net to catch her in (technologically speaking) he and Cisco run across January Galore once more after her last appearance at Meister's party. It turns out that January Galore isn't a real person at all but a disguise for Sue Dearbon who then makes her escape. Ralph tracks her down once more, confronting her about how her parents are being extorted for some reason and that Sue isn...

Batwoman's latest episode pushed some major new advancements in the story of Kate and Alice, while also dealing with the fallout of last week's events alongside the tease of a bigger villain coming to Gotham. Here is my review for Batwoman's 16th episode before the break! (Image Source) Related posts: Batwoman S01 EP15 spoiler review Batwoman S01 EP14 spoiler review Sophie was back after sitting out last week's episode and found herself the target of an assassination attempt, in which she was aided and saved by Julia who has returned after several episodes of being absent. It was fun to see her again, though it took me a bit to remember who exactly she was until she reintroduced herself. Julia had taken a shot herself, and the two of them ventured to Mary's hospital where the was patched back up. Concerning Mary, her chunk of the episode involved her supporting Luke as his father's killer faced a retrial and was allowed to go free until another co...

The Flash had a lot going on this episode and it left us with quite the episode to think about going into this extended break due to the Coronavirus outbreak. The trailer for the next episode says the show will return on April 7th so we have a couple weeks to absorb what went on in this episode, and so far here are my thoughts two days out from the airing of Flash's 15th episode of season 6! (Image Source) Related posts: The Flash S06 EP13 spoiler review The Flash S06 EP14 spoiler review I may be wrong, but I think this may be our first episode ever without Iris in it? Fake Iris was there but real Iris wasn't seen at all, only mentioned, so that may be a first for the show. I also want to mention something I've talked about before where the show may have too many characters to juggle. I feel like it is obvious when characters don't show up just so the episodes aren't crowded, as Ralph has tragically only been in one episode of the last 5, Chester has o...

Batwoman's latest episode includes a lot of great backstory for Alice in particular, and seems to set up at least what will be a temporary status quo for the next couple of episodes. It also featured a major moment for Batwoman that will no doubt impact her in a big way, probably not in the best way either. Here is my review of Batwoman's 15th episode of the first season. (Image Source) Related posts: Batwoman S01 EP14 Batwoman S01 EP13 Mary and Luke went on the search for Beth's killer in this episode, leading them to the abandoned car Cartwright had driven in and then left his gun behind in after shooting and killing Beth. It was great getting to see these characters interact more, and more of an involved role for Mary who I think definitely needs a chance to do more in the series. The main piece of the episode involved Alice leaving Cartwright for Kate to interrogate along with a message to ask him about "mommy dearest." She enlisted her father t...

Episode 14 of the Flash, appropriately titled, "The Death of the Speed Force," gave us some major changes to the show as a whole as well as pushed forward a lot of the currently ongoing storylines in the season so far! So with a fair bit to talk about, here is my review of the 14th episode in season 6! (Image Source) Related posts: The Flash S06 EP13 spoiler review The Flash S06 EP12 spoiler review Starting off with some of the smaller storylines before getting to the bigger stuff, there wasn't a lot of Iris and Eva in this episode but potentially a new advancement by the end of the episode. Kamilla took a picture of fake Iris early in the episode and in the end finds out that the camera registered her as a strange energy rather than a regular person (Assuming it did that thanks to Cisco's modifications). This leads to fake Iris blasting her with the mirror gun, causing her to vanish. Has she been transported to the mirror world? I doubt the show would ki...

Batwoman returned from break with an episode that I really enjoyed and it did set the story forward more and gave us a villain of the week who actually exists in the comics which I really liked! So with the season once again on the air, here is my review of Batwoman's 14th episode, "Grinning from ear to ear." (Image Source) Related posts: Batwoman S01 EP13 spoiler review Batwoman S01 EP12 spoiler review This episode primarily focused on Duela Dent as she hunted down different socialites, carving their faces as she had once done to herself. This character is actually, "Joker's Daughter," in the comics and it was great seeing a larger tier villain than the Executioner make an appearance on the show. Here's hoping that more Batman villains will be making appearances soon! I was surprised that they didn't have Mary be one of the character's that Duela went after, but Mary still got plenty to do in the episodes as she covertly confronted...

The Flash was back again and brought a really fun and entertaining episode with it that made great use of its titular character while providing some awesome comic book madness. We had the awesome return of Grodd, some new twists in Iris' mirror world storyline, and a very exciting post credit tease involving Nash. So here is the run down of my thoughts on the episode! (Image Source) Related posts: The Flash S06 EP12 spoiler review The Flash S06 EP11 spoiler review Starting with the Iris stuff. Fake Iris snuck her way onto Joe's computer in order to get information about Joseph Carver, with which it is unclear what she's going to do with everything she's putting together. Meanwhile in the mirror world, Eva tells Iris that she built a machine that could potentially help them escape the mirror world; however, Eva demonstrates with her arms that anything that passes through the mirror now will burn. Iris proclaimed that they would find another way, and when she...

This episode of Batwoman was a mixed bag for me because there were plenty of elements that I enjoyed but then quite a few that I am very mixed about. So without much waiting, here is my review for the newest Batwoman episode titled, "Drink Me." (Image Source) Related posts: Batwoman S01 EP12 spoiler review Batwoman S01 EP11 spoiler review This episode did do quite a lot in terms of pushing the relationships of the story forward, I will give it that, as several new pieces shifted that will definitely change up the status quo. The main plotline of the episode followed Kate as she worked to take down a new villain in Gotham called, Nocturna. I was very excited to see this character introduced as I found her a lot of fun in the comics, and the idea of vampires being fully added to the Arrowverse after being teased in The Flash was something I was also anticipating. However, by the end of the episode it was revealed that Nocturna wasn't a real vampire and had a di...
