The Flash Season Four Premiere Review- "The Flash Reborn"

Image via cwtv.com
"The Flash Reborn" begins 6 months after the events of last season, since Barry walked into the Speed Force. Kid Flash has been fighting crimes since then and Iris is now leading what's left of the Star Labs team which means, she's now kind of like Felicity in Arrow. Harrison Wells 2.0 (Tom Cavanaugh) is no more after he died at the end of season three and Julian (Tom Felton) has "gone back to London". I'm really happy about this because it felt like they were focusing on too many characters last season, now they can focus on the real team Barry, Cisco, Cateline, Iris and Joe. The team was able to bring back Barry from the Speed Force but he returned as a completely different person. He couldn't really remember anyone of his friends and kept talking gibberish. It only took Iris putting herself in danger for him to snap back into reality and become The Flash again. I feel like this was too easy and quick. Barry was in the Speed Force for 6 months, not 6 minutes, I wish they explored this path more by not making him snap back in the first episode and I hope they'll explore how the Speed Force affected him somehow.

I'm also trying to figure out Wally's use in the series because he really doesn't do much. It seems like the writers are still trying to figure out where he fits into the story. Last season's finale made it seem like getting Barry out of the Speed Force would have been almost impossible but Cisco is miraculously able to bring him back a few minutes into the episode. It was also nice to see Iris play a much bigger role in the episode, Candice Patton continues to deliver a strong performance as Barry's love interest and future wife. I'm glad that Caitlin is back on the team, although this also felt too sudden and rushed. She's also still struggling with her alter ego "Killer Frost". The final scene introduces us to the major villain for the season, The Thinker/Clifford DeVoe played by Neil Sandilands. Hopefully he'll be a better villain than last season's Savitar who I thought was the worst villain so far. The major problem with the premiere was the fact that they brought Barry back so quickly instead of taking advantage of his absence in Central City. Season three was its most lackluster and darkest season to date but I have a good feeling that this season will be better. New episodes of The Flash air every Tuesday. 


THE THINKER 
The major villain this season is The Thinker and he first appeared in All Flash #12 published in 1943. After his career as a lawyer failed, he started a new one as the brain behind small-time villains by using his "Thinking Cap", a metal hat that could project metal force. When his physical body died, he became a non-living artificial intelligence with more power. The woman with him at the end of the episode is called "The Mechanic".

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...

"Don't Tell Mama"- The Shocking Sharp Objects Season Finale

   Sharp Objects easily tops the list of my all time favorite TV Series. The HBO Limited Series aired it eight and final episode last night and it's something I'll probably never forget. I'm trying so hard to find the right words to describe this amazing show and the phenomenal acting from Amy Adams, Patricia Clarkson and Eliza Scanlen. They were just too perfect. Throughout the season, we've all been trying to figure out who the killer was in this whodunnit and I had so many theories. I never believed it was John Keene because most times, it's always the person you least expect that'll end up being the perpetrator. My first suspect was Alan (Henry Czerny), Adora's husband and Amma's father. I thought the only reason he would venture out to killing teenage girls was due to the fact that he was no longer as had a bond with his daughter and his loveless marriage but I was so wrong. Then I thought it was the Police Chief, Bill who was in cahoots with Ado...

Chicago Justice: Series Premiere/Crossover Episode-"Fake"

Image via imdb.com I looked forward to seeing Chicago Justice after it was announced because I love the One Chicago universe even though I'm yet to see the other shows, i'm very familiar with their stories and characters. I'm a crazy fan of Chicago PD so I'm going to binge watch all the episodes of Chicago Fire, but I don't think I'll be able to see Chicago Med. Medical shows are too emotional for me. With Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, I don't know where to start from, but I'll binge watch from season one to eighteen whenever I can for sure.  The four part crossover started with an episode on Chicago Fire and concluded in the season premiere of Chicago Justice. There is a fire at a warehouse and the Chicago Fire crew think it's an accident but Severide (Taylor Kinney) finds metal wedges shoved under the door which means whoever started the fire wanted everyone trapped inside, so its arson.
