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 c...

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...

Snowfall Season One Finale Review- "The Rubicon"

   There's no denying that this season has been intense for the four major characters and everyone around them. The first season of Snowfall was all over the place but the by the 8th episode, I was convinced the writers finally got their thoughts together. The pilot episode was good and I felt this was a show I was going to fall in love with, but it became a struggle to watch after the third episode.  They got my attention back after Leon was shot in the final scene of the 8th episode. Franklin got himself into a very dangerous business which I still think he hasn't fully realized. He wants to hustle hard and make sure he's mom doesn't have to bother herself about anything, but she's disappointed when she finds out about her son's extra curricular activities. The neighborhood knows that he's the boss and he's really all about the money.  Damson Idris brings his character of Franklin to life and I couldn't see anyone else playing this role. He's ...
