The Flash Mid-Season Finale: "Don't Run"

Image via Denofgeek.com
During last week's action packed crossover, we didn't see much of Clifford DeVoe aka The Thinker but he returned in the mid-season finale for Barry. In "Don't Run", DeVoe played Barry & his friends like a board game and by the end of the episode, had them exactly where he needed them to be. Things started well at the beginning of the episode with Barry & Iris opening wedding gifts and the other members of Team Flash getting in the holiday spirit by doing a few decorations around Star Labs. Barry gets kidnapped by DeVoe and Caitlyn gets captured by Amunet (Katee Sackhoff) to help save Dominic who's also a meta. Coincidence? I don't think so. Caitlyn refused to help at first but eventually performs the surgery that saved his life and they both escape. Barry is trapped in a force field by DeVoe but he's able to escape and they both fly round the city crashing into buildings. To be honest, this scene looked a little ridiculous and laughable. Barry is saved by his suits flotation device while DeVoe crashes into the water.

Everyone is relieved to have Barry & Caitlyn back home & they all head to Joe's house for the Christmas celebrations. Caitlyn even invited her new friend, Dominic. Barry gets a message about an alarm going off at their house & he leaves. He gets a call from Dominic who tells him that he's going away for a long time because Dominic is actually DeVoe & DeVoe's body was stabbed & dumped at Barry's house. Poor Barry. He doesn't run and the CPD arrests him. The Thinker played a game of chess with Team Flash & set Barry up for his own murder. Barry could have easily cleaned up the murder scene  and dumped the body somewhere else but of course, he had to whisper "Don't Run" to himself & wait for the police. I wasn't happy about the fact that Barry came out of the Speed Force so easily but I guess we now know how & why it happened. I really wish they would do away with Ralph, because his character is just as useless as Wally. He talks too much and doesn't say anything that really makes sense. The Flash doesn't need a comic relief who's actually not funny, we already have Cisco. They need to find a way to kill him or make his disappear. 

I'm a bit worried about the new DeVoe played by Kendrick Sampson because I already got so used to Niel Sandilands' portrayal of the character and I'm just hoping Sampson does justice to it. The best part about this episode was the beginning & the end, the episode would have been way better without the unnecessary scenes with some of the characters. The Flash returns to our screens in January 2018.

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 cried for two episodes straight) which means

"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.
