Supergirl: Season 2 Premiere Recap

Supergirl is finally home at The CW with fellow DC Comics shows like Arrow, The flash and Legends of Tomorrow. The first season was quite fun and witty and the second season picks up right where the finale left off. Kara and Martian Manhunter find a pod with a guy in it and they take him to the DEO headquarters and start running tests. Kara is also trying to figure out her next career path at CatCo and is given 48 hours to make a decision by Kat Grant. During her first date with James, they get interrupted by the launch of the first commercial aircraft which had been sabotaged by the criminal John Corben. Supergirl leaves her date to stop the aircraft from crashing and is joined by her cousin Superman (Tyler Hoechlin). They both save the day and Kara tells her cousin how much she had always wanted to team up with him.

They both arrive at the DEO and everyone is excited to see Superman but there's tension between him and J'onn J'onzz. Superman accuses him of keeping kryptonite and says he isn't going to work with him until he gets rid of it.

At the DEO, they investigate the failed launch of the commercial aircraft which leads them to Lex Luther who hired Corben to kill his sister Lena Luther. After the first plan fails, John Corben uses drones to take down Lena's helicopter but Superman and Supergirl save her and the civilians being shot at with the drones. Kara is still struggling with her relationship and career path.

The next day at a ceremony hosted by Lena Luther, Corben attacks again and tries to bring down a nearby building to distract Superman and Supergirl while he goes after Lena. Supergirl is able to stop the building from crumbling while Alex goes after Corben. They take him down after Lena shoots him twice.

At the end of the episode Kara tells Kat that she wants to be a reporter and Kat tells her she always knew she was going to be a good reporter from the first day they met. After this, Kara shatters James' heart by telling him that she'd rather they remain friends. The final scene of the episode shows John Corben's body at CADMUS as he is being turned into Metallo.
       It was a good start for the second season and we finally got to meet Superman and I'm happy it continues with its witty charm which is quite different from fellow DC shows Arrow and the Flash.
Now all I'm waiting for is the four-way crossover episode with The Flash, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow which I know is going to be exciting!

Random Thoughts
1. I was so excited when I found out Tyler Hoechlin was going to be Superman, although he looks better with facial hair. I loved him in Teen Wolf and take every opportunity I get to see him on screen. He's definitely giving Henry Cavill a run for his money
2. Why did Kara have to end things with James after they only just started and spent last season trying to become a thing. I hope this story line doesn't eventually get annoying.

Here's a preview of the second episode "The last Children of Krypton"

"Who Killed Julia Montague?"- Bodyguard Finale

BBC's Bodyguard has been one of the most satisfying series I've seen so far, this year. Over six episodes, they delivered a Limited Series that kept you on the edge of your seat and wondering what was next for Richard Madden's David Budd. David meets up with Julia's PA, Chanel, who was fired in the first episode because he was suspicious of her involvement in the bombings and he was right. She had a hand in it. Chanel set David up and he ended up getting ambushed and kidnapped by the leader of the criminal group, Luke Aitkens. The police are finally  able to piece the puzzle and they findd out that the ex-soldier who tried to shoot Julia was David's friend and this raises an alarm. They're convinced that Budd was indeed behind the bombing. Budd wakes up alone and realizes that he is strapped to a bomb vest with his thumb taped to the activating button. He is unaware that he is currently being investigated by the police and uses someone's phone to call for...

Goodbye Mike & Rachel- Suits' Seventh Season Finale Review

  Suits is one of my favorite Legal Drama's and for some reason, I'm still very invested in the show after 7 seasons. I don't think they've had any bad season and they've done such a great job with the growth and development of the major characters but the time to say goodbye to Mike and Rachel was finally here. Due to the fact that Meghan Markle would be getting married to Prince Harry, I guess it was a good time to wrap up her love story with Mike and they do this with the fairy tale wedding we've all been waiting for. Mike and Rachel have been an item since the first season and have been engaged since the fifth. They would have been married a season ago but were not able to because of Mike's time in prison. I always loved their chemistry and I was so sad to see them say goodbye and more than anything, I loved Mike and Harvey's relationship. It was so genuine and pure. The two final episodes of the final season of Suits aired back to back and...

SUITS: Season 6 finale

        The 6th season of suits has been quite an emotional one with Mike's would be wedding with Rachel, his going to Prison and Rachel's death row case. Death row cases can get really sad especially if the suspect is innocent which was the case of Leonard Bailey (Glenn Plummer) who was accused of murdering two people. After staying behind bars for 12 years, Leonard Bailey was finally exonerated with the help of Rachel and Jessica (Gina Torres). During this episode, a major character said goodbye to the show. Gina Torres decided to leave Suits to film another TV Show 'Catch' and it was quite emotional. This episode showed a different side of Jessica Pearson, she put her pro Bono case first before the firm and fought for the freedom of Leonard Bailey.          Gina Torres will no longer be a series regular and I was happy her character wasn't killed off like Will Gardner in the Good Wife, (I c...
