The Flash 4.03 Luck Be a Lady
It's Sugar! She still looks the same considering I've seen her on TV growing up and used to be a radio disc jockey. She got to turn her fortunes around by affecting everybody else's. It was a straight-forward concept but the "cherry pop" lines were an overshare of sexual innuendo.
It doesn't take away from the fact this episode was silly on its own. If the writers keep going in this direction, visiting the new metas will be just as boring.
Iris is so extra. In the church she said the coffin is a nice cedar and climbs on an alter to flip the deceased man's portrait. I'm tired of her character and she's always in the way. The damsel has got to go when her day job is forcefully being on Team Flash.
Harry Wells is here to take the spot of Wally West?! How is this allowed? I know he wasn't getting any use now that Barry is back, but removing the second speedster is a shame.

Riverdale 2.02 Chapter Fifteen: Nighthawks
Riverdale 2.02 Chapter Fifteen: Nighthawks
The Serpents really are everywhere! I knew this new season would dive into the other side of the tracks but I wouldn't have guessed this. Having the lawyer that's in with the gang is actually really handy. It's also difficult Tall Boy thought she would be a good fit to help because they're all connected. Penny Peabody offered helpful advice but she sounds like she will call a favour when she pleases.
Greendale is a random town. I feel like mentioning Miss Grundy didn't move too far away is a sign she wanted to stay close to Archie? It's a possibility that's why she was still tutoring children in music. I like how Mrs. Cooper mentions it was a "crime of passion". There's a lot of hurt happening in Riverdale. It doesn't make sense that Archie's friends are getting picked off one by one.
I laugh at the fact Archie is seconds away from signing up for the Sheriff's office. He waved his bat at Jughead in the house like second nature. Lack of sleep and running on adrenaline is not good. Reggie 2.0 even called it out. I don't think having a weapon should give you comfort in security.
I don't understand why Cheryl can wear sexy underwear in the locker room. Didn't her possessions get lost in the fire she started? It's funny because she's still put together when her mother is bandaged up.
Aww I liked Smithers! He was so loyal to the Lodge family, and even put Veronica's best interests at heart. I hope he comes back. Hiram seems to be getting rid of people so he can have more control over who plants ideas in his family's heads.
I didn't see that dark ending coming! If Midge and Moose are dead, this means this sicko kills at random or he has more than one person working with him.

The Flash 4.02 Mixed Signals
The Flash 4.02 Mixed Signals
I don't know why this storyline is getting silly. I can't believe I'm getting bored by how this season is running.
It doesn't make sense that there's people living outside Central City becoming meta humans when they weren't near the S.T.A.R. labs accident. I don't like the idea of following 11 more people to see if they have special abilities.
This episode focused on revenge of an angry person. I'm not for that and I feel the "bully" of the group didn't deserve to suffer the way she did. She was also wrong to treat the meta as a loser and talk down on him like she was top.
Cisco was absolutely ridiculous as well with his bad comebacks. Barry's suit wasn't good
Wally getting a new hair style was a highlight. We'll see what they bring next week. I don't think I can stand chasing 11 metas but we'll see how they execute it. The writers are dropping the ball on this

Riverdale 2.01 Chapter Fourteen: A Kiss Before Dying
Riverdale 2.01 Chapter Fourteen: A Kiss Before Dying
I knew Jughead would be smart enough to narrow down the killing was pre-meditated! He identified a possible motive and pinpointed the robbery not making away with any cash. I don't think the South Side Serpents have anything to do with this. They're a harsh biker gang, but they're trying to take care of their own like F.P. took care of them by keeping quiet. I just hope he doesn't stumble into the wrong place at the wrong time.
Betty and Kevin look like they're leaning on each other, similar to the first season's premier. She's scared Jughead will chose the serpents over her, but Kevin is giving her honest talk with being involved with Joaquin. They'll figure it out eventually, but this teen drama for you.
Veronica wasn't ready for her father's return. I laughed when Mark Consuelos sat in the dark to command his presence as Hiram Lodge. I think he's trying to show off the tough side to being the head of the family and how his comeback is out of jail. I guess we'll see if he has anything to do with Fred getting shot, but it could include more than one character. I like that Veronica is sticking with Archie through everything, but her parents may want to make things more difficult for her.
Cheryl is back and crazier than ever! I can't believe she threatened her mom the way she did. Burning the house took a lot of guts, but having to return on this level is fantastic. I'm not saying what she did was right, but I don't blame her with what her family has put her through. I'm looking forward to this version of Cheryl taking control of her own life.
I'm glad to see Fred is back and healing at home. It's nice to see Mrs. Andrews is back to help as well. I just think Archie is angry and beating himself up on what happened at Pop's diner (particularly to him). I think the killer has a personal vendetta against Archie. It looks like he purposely went for his dad and the ending I didn't see coming!
I didn't think I would see Miss Grundy prey on another young student once again. She's the repeat offender who never learns from her mistakes. Her death is the reason why I believe the killer is trying to torture Archie in all of this. It was such an angry murder, I felt it come from a horrible place. There's so many angles I can't wait to explore as the season rolls out.

The Flash 4.01 The Flash Reborn
The Flash 4.01 The Flash Reborn
I'm not sure how I feel about this season beginning. It seems too good to be true that there's nothing wrong with Barry at this moment in time. I feel he doesn't know what's happening internally with his abilities and well being. It's too soon to tell, but I don't think it looks as if he's hiding anything from the team.
Caitlin on the other hand is trying to get a grip on Killer Frost. Her alter ego emerges when her temper gets tested, but Caitlin seems to handle herself better than before. She doesn't appear as afraid of her abilities as she was before. I also wonder if this means Julian will make another return.
Cisco looks like he's made progress with Wally and Joe. Running the team is tough, especially without Barry or Harry around.
Iris is emotionally unstable. She's irrational with her decisions since losing Barry and living on her own. I think she's reckless and shouldn't be the one to rely on. I know that's a bit of a stretch considering Caitlin's integrity at the moment, but Iris actually didn't want Barry back.
Someone explain to me why Barry showed up naked? He's never come back sans clothes from the speed force before. That didn't make much sense either, but I guess that's Grant Gustin's contract for you haha.
I'll see how this season turns out, but I think I'm dropping Arrow with the exception of possible crossover episodes.

Riverdale 1.13 Chapter Thirteen: The Sweet Hereafter
Riverdale 1.13 Chapter Thirteen: The Sweet Hereafter
I have a ridiculous theory about the ending scene, but I am way too excited! I'm going to start with Cheryl's endless problems before moving forward into all the thoughts I have going on.
It was true when I mentioned the possibility of Cheryl's dad running an illegal drug operation (I don't know why you'd traffic it to Montreal of all places?). It looks like the true nature of the maple syrup business came to surface once the story uncovered the camera footage of Jason's death. I feel there was a lot of anger going on within the family, but it all makes sense how the dad complimented Cheryl as a true Blossom at heart, unlike Jason. She was the one who could handle the business through all of this, even when things get rocky because of what the family business entails.
Now she's all miserable and broken because her brother's death was at her father's hand. The mom isn't showing any signs of mercy or remorse. I still think there was more that she knew (probably just about the business front) but I think the initial shock of Jason's death was something she remained in the dark about.
Cheryl's suicide attempt was less than ideal. Once Archie did all the work, the other three watched aside (when you all have cellphones, call for help). I couldn't understand the other three standing as spectators.
I saw the secret Cooper older brother coming along! I know in the comics, Betty Cooper is supposed to have a brother anyway. I feel like adding him in as a long lost brother would be appropriate. I don't have any theories of where he is or if we've already met him. I just think it's fun to add in a new character this way.
I wonder if Betty will stand with Jughead if he accepts "his place" with the South Side Serpents. Betty looked like she didn't approve if he goes, but I think he's actually smarter than he looks. He was able to handle himself in the public school. I feel he's also able to do the same with the Serpents. Arguably, he could be the next leader if there was an actual hierarchy to these situations.
I see Veronica standing by Archie in all of this. She's had her rebellion against her father (and from time to time her mother) so it's only fitting she'd stick with Archie while all parents sort their business problems out. Above all, she'd support Archie with what I'm about to mention below on the final scene.
I don't know what Fred Andrews wanted to say to Archie at Pop's Diner so early in the morning, but an early morning robbery was excessive. There's NO money in an early morning till (even for a 24 hour diner), especially if there aren't any customers around. There were no witnesses except for Pop and the waitress in the corner. I don't think I saw money getting taken from the register either. There was also no reason to shoot once you got the money, just a simple scare tactic. It appears the shooting was intended all along.
Part of me feels Hiram Lodge sent some low-life hoodlum to kill Mr. Andrews so he can get the land. Too easy of a theory? I don't see a point in shooting the high school quarterback. A hired thug early in the morning isn't the style of a South Side Serpent either. F.P. left off on great terms with Fred, so none of his guys would need a reason to do something like that if they're looking out for Jughead's well being at the moment.
Excellent finale, looking forward to the new season!

Riverdale 1.12 Chapter Twelve: Anatomy of a Murder
Riverdale 1.12 Chapter Twelve: Anatomy of a Murder
Last night's episode was very exciting! We finally know who killed Jason but before I get to the conclusion, I want to talk about everyone else concerning the murder.
It was obvious F.P. didn't do it, even before his farfetched storytelling being in with Jason's plans. It was when he admitted to taking the research files in Sheriff Keller's office that sealed the deal. That's when I knew it was all an act and he was set up to protect Jughead. Who else has that kind of power and pull upon a gang leader? Jughead is the only person F.P. will fight for, so I think that reading the manuscript helped him stretch out the story during interrogation.
I'm sad to see Mary Andrews go back to Chicago. I wasn't sure if that's allowed so soon in a murder investigation, especially since she posed as an attorney to F.P. to get information. It's good enough Joaquin wanted to help do the right thing, but he too had skipped town shortly after. The overdose scene for South Side Serpent's right-hand man Mustang came too heavy. Did he get tipped off that his involvement with the murder meant he was backed into a corner? It didn't explain much with the small leather bag of money with the personalized H.L. monogram. Does this mean we get to see Mark Consuelos soon? Hiram Lodge could present a nice closer to the season.
Archie and his friends get really naive in all of this. The intentions are in the right place but they don't think carefully (another reason why I thought we were looking at an adult murderer). I feel the situation got complicated really fast once the Coopers uncovered more of their family truth.
The background of the Cooper family tree was not what I expected at all. The level of incestuous implication was a shock and changed the dynamic of the storyline. It's so intricately hidden that how could anybody guess this kind of outcome? I really didn't see any of it coming, but it's a great twist.
So the great-grandfather Blossom and great-grandfather Cooper were brothers. Adopting the Cooper last name covered up the Blossom bloodline. Cutting out the family meant a broken link to the Blossom fortune and every bit of politics involved. Most importantly, Polly is carrying Lannister twins. Penelope Blossom is a freak for saying the twins she's carrying are, "truly Blossom blood." I just don't understand how they had the ability to hide this for so many years. It's similar to how nobody knew F.P. was a gang leader or that Jughead was homeless for so long. Is everybody ignorant to their neighbour's struggles? Another turn-a-blind-eye situation.
It's good to learn about the killer before the finale, because at least we can have a better conclusion. When I saw Clifford Blossom hanging in the barn, I didn't think justice was served. It's not supposed to be an eye-for-an-eye. Nobody knows the why factor except for a few contraband drugs taped in maple syrup. Was this supposed to be the result of the Blossom fortune? Were they tied in with drugs all along or were these confiscated overtime? I wonder if the wife has something to do with it or if they both knew he was going to kill himself in the barn. Cheryl gave a fair warning though as if there was a window of a head start for the dad to explain. I like the theory that the family business may have been underground drug dealing masked with a maple syrup front.
It's all funny business and it's going to take a long time before anyone can seek out the truth.
