Fall Finale Update: Supergirl

This is the last review of the new shows that I've watched this year and I'm happy to say that I have no show casualties! It is a great feeling to have when you like all your shows.
Supergirl is great and I'm not surprised that I like it because I did watch Smallville. I'm still a little traumatized from the pilot when her sister, Alex, was in a plane crash. (Grey's fans will understand how not nice that was) Other than that, I think this show is pretty great. I'm all for woman empowerment. And of course I want Jimmy and Kara together. I just know that it'll take forever like it always does with shows like this. People love their slow burns. As for Winn, I'm not that much of a fan of him. This wasn't the case at first. He had his little crush on Kara and that was fine. The moment I started not liking him was when he got all petty around Jimmy. He started jumping to conclusions and getting mad at Kara when he had no right to be. That really upset me and I think he needs to chill. Let Kara live her life. If she never feels the same way about him then he needs to accept that.

Now that season finale was a serious cliff hanger. First I want to say that it's about time Cat found out Kara is Supergirl. It took way too long for her. All I want to know is what will she do with that info.
Second, we are finding out more about Kara's mother and aunt. Astra is like on of those environmental extremist who do the most to protect the world. She said she does what she does because the world (her old one and Earth) is dying. I do find it interesting that her husband seems to be more of the mastermind than her. He did say that if Supergirl dies, Astra dies. I just can't wait to find out more about them. But with the way it ended it looks like he might not survive to explain things. Astra's still being held captive so hopefully she'll spill the beans. We'll see in January.

Fall Finale Update: Grimm

So the last season of Grimm was ...interesting. (I think that's the right word for it.) It ended with Trubel shooting Juliet and we all assumed she was dead. This is season started right were the last left off, but we still didn't know if Juliet was alive or dead. Personally, I thought she was alive, mainly because I didn't want her to be dead.

• Trubel:  When we last saw her she shot Juliette and then they both vanished. Trubel is one of my favorite characters so I was a little upset that she wasn't around anymore. Thankfully, she came back. She's working for this secret HW group that had her all over the world. Hopefully we'll hear more about who they are and why they do what they do when the show returns because I am very intrigued.
• Renard's friend: So his friend is running for mayor and Renard is endorsing him. There has to be more to this story than we know now. They wouldn't be giving it this much attention if there wasn't. Maybe Sean will end up running for mayor? Or there's more to his friend then we know. Maybe he's involved in this wessen uprising somehow?
• Wessen uprising: So all throughout the season there have been a string of crimes happening and the perpetrator keeps leaving these claw marks on the walls. We know now that it's wessen. And, it's not wessen versus humans, it's wessen versus wessen. So my question is why are they fighting their own kind and what happened to start all this? 

The fall finale ended with a pretty big cliffhanger. It threw me because I wasn't expecting it and I didn't even realize that the episode was over! So I though there was going to be more and there wasn't. I was that person yelling 'NO' at the TV screen. Two huge things happened that I want to talk about.

• Trubel shooting Juliette: Trubel admitted that she was sent back to Nick's house to shoot Juliette. It was assumed that when she went back she only shot Juliette because she was hurting Nick. Now I want to know if the plan was to kill Juliet or just harm her so the HW group could take her captive.
• Juliette's alive: I was right this whole time! I'm so happy that she's not dead. Plus, it looks like she's working on Nick's side, in a way, which is good. I just have so many questions, like what's up with the new hair?

I went in this season a little shaky, but I'm liking it so far. I just hope that all my questions get answered. We'll find out in January.

Fall Finale Update: Jane the Virgin

This show is still it's wonderful self, making my cry and laugh all within minutes of each other. It also still has those crazy storylines. My favorite episode so far was Chapter Twenty-Eight. Let's get into some specifics.

• Michael or Rafael: Jane is still conflicted over who to choose and I don't blame her. Both have done some pretty shady stuff this season. I do tend to lean toward Rafael because he's Mateo's father but they both have a lot of work to do if they want a chance.
• Luisa: She is still the same hot mess she was last season! And she's still caught up with Sin Rostro which really doesn't surprise me considering who Luisa is. I don't think she will ever be over Sin Rostro.  
• Mudder: There is a new mystery person in town. Mudder kidnapped Luisa and is a foe of Sin Rostro. The only thing is that we don't know who she really is. Michael and his new partner think it might be Luisa's mom who was supposedly dead. I'm here for this theory. Plus, I really want to know who Luisa's mom is since she isn't dead. 
• Xo and Rogelio: As we know, these two got drunk and got married. They've actually decided to stay married and I think it's working out for them. 
• Petra: This girl went ahead and used the rest of Rafael's sperm and now she's pregnant with twins! I really don't know what he was thinking when she did this. I guess she wasn't really thinking at all. 
• Jane in grad school: I really love that Jane is taking her writing to the next level. I also really love her counselor, Jonathan. he really seems to know what to do to bring out the best in Jane.

Now I want to talk about that fall finale, which was insane!

• Petra's mother: This woman is THEE WORST! She hasn't done anything to prove that she is a good person. I really don't know why they let her out of jail in the first place. I can't believe that she blamed Ivan's murder on Petra. I mean was she even thinking about the fact that she's pregnant!? No. All she cares about is herself. The only way I see this being a positive thing is if this is some plan and they're totally playing us.
• Petra spilled the beans: Rafael is the only person that knows the truth about Petra's mother. But doesn't that make him an accessory now that he knows? I've watch a lot of crime dramas to know that the more you know about a crime, the worse off you'll be. I hope this isn't the case because he doesn't need anymore trouble coming his way.
• Jane's "night in silky armor": When they revealed that it was Michael I just rolled my eyes. I think I'm over this whole love triangle. I just want her to pick one or find someone new. 

I can't wait to find out what happens next with this show. I'm glad we don't have to wait too long for new episodes. See you in January.

Fall Finale Update: Quantico

This is my favorite new show this fall! There are so many wonderful things about this show. First off, if you ware a fan of How to get Away with Murder than I think you will like this show. They're similar because the both start off with a main event that we don't know much about and then we see flashbacks all the way up to the main event. I do think that this show is a little easier to follow. There are many characters that they introduce, but it doesn't happen all at once. Characters on this show come and go, so when they introduce a new one another character may be leaving. Whether it's permanent or temporary, my lips are sealed.
This is the type of show where you can't trust anyone. You may start out an episode thinking that someone is fine and end the episode thinking they are the shadiest character. You just can't trust anyone on this show.
Another thing I really love about this show is it's diversity. The lead of this show is an Indian woman, the director is the FBI is a Black woman and the rest of the NAT's (agents in training) are a pretty diverse group. It just makes me so happy to see a cast that is so diverse. I will always praise a show for mirroring what society looks like.

Now on to this finale. Was it Caleb this entire time? Who was in the control center? Who's alive and who's dead? I have so many questions and I have to wait until March to get them. I'm not excited about the long wait, but it does give those who haven't watched time to catch up. So, if you haven't watched I suggest you do. It's a great show.

Fall Finale Update: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

What a journey it has been for me with this show. The first season wasn't the best but it did get better each year, and this year is insane!

• ATCU and S.H.I.E.L.D.: S.H.I.E.L.D.  started working with the ATCU this year in order to mend their relationship with the government. It was going okay until we found out that they were creating an inhuman army! And then we found out the man in charge of that was Hydra! Complete craziness.
• Coulson and Ros: The leaders of these organizations hooked up! Finally Coulson got some good love, but they had to kill her. WHY?! Why would they do that to him!? 
• FitzSimmons: This was my favorite storyline so far this season! Jemma got sucked into that rock last season and we started this season with Fitz doing everything and anything to find a way to get her back. I loved that we got an entire episode dedicated to her on that planet. Then we finally got a kiss! There were so many moments between these 2 this season that brought tears to my eyes. 
• Lash/Andrew: Lash was the craziest reveal! I had no idea it was Andrew until the agents figured it out. Of course the one person that was supposed to help all the inhumans adapt to their new powers was the one that killed them. 
• Ward: Ward is that villain that you just hate. I can compare him to Amanda from Nikita. There was nothing about him that I liked. He was just pure evil and I wanted him gone every time I saw his face. .

Now let's talk about that finale. We almost had a happy ending; ALMOST. I knew it was too good to be true I just didn't want it to be. First, I want to say that Ward is dead. What we saw in that last shot of the finale was not Ward. That was the 'It" monster from the planet using Ward's body as his own. Ward is no more. I just want to make that clear. I just want to know how he managed to make it through the portal without Mack knowing and without the bombs destroying it. All I know is that when the season comes back we have to deal with Lash being on the loose again and the 'It' monster/Hydra. It is going to be one wild ride!

Fall Finale Update: Empire

Empire has proven itself to be one of the most outrageous shows on television and this season was nothing different. There were somethings that I like and some that I didn't, so let's get into it.

• Lyon Dynasty: Cookie and Hakeen are finally working together and creating a label all their own. I love this. It's nice that Hakeem finally came around and can have a better relationship with his mother. We are done with the broomstick beatings! (I hope)
• Jamal and Cookie: I was upset that these two were at odds in the beginning of the season. I'm just glad they cleared the air and were able to work together again. Their scenes are gold.
• Lucious: I've never been a fan of Lucious and that didn't really change this season. What I did like was that we got flashbacks to his childhood with his mother. We were able to understand why he does some things and I really appreciate them doing that. Hopefully we'll see more when the season comes back. Also, I want Lucious to actually talk about his childhood. Seeing the flashbacks and then seeing him react to a situation is one thing. Having him talk about what he went through and maybe explain that this is why he's doing whatever it is he's doing can help his family understand him more. 
• The music: I have to admit that I liked the music of season one more than this season. There were just a few select songs that I liked this season but I liked all the music last year.

Now let's talk about that shocking fall finale.

• Camilla is back: This was the most shocking moment of the finale. They teased her coming back but we didn't know why, but the reason why was crazy. I really liked how they revealed her as Mimi's wife first instead of having her go to Hakeem first. I'm just really surprised that she would go through all this for Hakeen. Marrying this woman just so she could take over the Empire. I mean that it a lot. 
• Hakeem's betrayal: I wasn't at all shocked that he did this. I did think that he would stick with the Empire because of what Cookie said but when you take into consideration all the things that Lucious did for him, it's no surprised he voted him out. Lucious basically switched Hakeem out for Freda Gatz. In the end, Hakeem is only really going to look out for himself and by doing this he has more power in Empire. 
• Boo Boo Kitty is crazy: I was really wondering what they would do with her storyline since she really doesn't have ties to Empire anymore. It's interesting that they made her pregnant and insanely jealous. Why didn't they show her get a job like the one she had at Empire at a competing label? I would've really like to see her and Cookie squash their beef and work together at Lyon Dynasty. It would've really pissed Lucious off, but more importantly it would have been awesome to see Lyon Dynasty be woman led. Oh well. Also, I have no doubt in my mind that she is the one that pushed Rhonda.
• Love for Cookie: I really want Cookie to have better love interests. I liked her with Laz, but he had to be problematic. Of course Lucious is going to be jealous of anyone she's with. I just wish the only reason for him to hate the guy is because the guy is with Cookie and nothing else. #UnproblematicLoveInterestForCookie2k16. 

When the show comes back hopefully we'll learn of Rhonda's fate. I haven't a clue what it might be. There's really nothing given from the promo except Andre crying in the nursery, but that could mean anything. I just wonder if Lucious will ask to work at Lyon Dynasty now that he's out of the Empire. We'll see in March, which is too far away and too long of a wait!

Fall Finale Update: The Flash

I was very excited about this season. Mainly because of all the Comic Con panels and interviews that talked about the Iris/West family storylines. I'm a big fan of the West family so hearing that they would get more screen time made me very happy. I was also really anxious to see what happened after that insane cliffhanger of a finale. So let's get into it.

• Zoom: This is the new villain and he is terrifying! I hate villains that have a lack of facial features and Zoom has no mouth and that makes me very uncomfortable! Also, have you checked out his nails?! So creepy! Since Zoom is from Earth 2 (E2) there has been this ongoing debate on who he is. Some people think he's E2 Barry but I'm not too sure about that. It seems too easy. I read a theory that it might be E2 Henry and I think that would be so interesting. I have no solid guesses, but wouldn't it be interesting it he was actually E2 Iris? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think we found out why he has Jessie. Did they ever tell us?
•  Barry's search for happiness: So in the season finale, Earth 1 Wells told Barry that he would never be happy so this season he's been trying to not prove him right, and I'm not sure he did a very good job of it. He seemed a little depressed and lost some of his confidence. I think he finally got it back by the fall finale. 
• Mama West: I was beyond excited when I heard the news that we would finally meet Mama West. I ended up not liking what they did with her storyline. I feel like every time an MIA parent comes back they either want money or they're dying and she fit right in with that trope. Why did she have to be dying? I really wanted to see her and Iris's relationship evolve and I don't think that we're going to get that. I mean, there is still time but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.
• Iris West: I thought that would we see more of Iris being a reporter this year. The most we saw was her getting saved by Barry from that shoot out and her being all buddy buddy with Linda (I love that friendship by the way). I really want to see her doing press conferences, interviews and more investigative work. Like when she found out about Wally, for example. We never saw her looking that information up and discovering it, we only saw the after effect. The fall finale was her best episode this season.
• Honorable Mentions: Jay and Cailtin... we all saw that coming. Patty, oh Patty. I wish you were more than just a love interest. 

Now on to that amazing fall finale, which was so emotional!

This finale was all about the West family and I think this is just the beginning. Iris finally told Barry and Joe about Wally. I really have to give it up to Candice Patton and Jessie L. Martin for acting their butts off in this episode. I mean, when you give them screen time they put in work and I love it! I'm not trying to take away from the other actors, but we see those in STAR Labs quite often in comparison to the Wests.

I want to talk about Joe's gift to Barry. I was a little shocked that he decided to give his watch to Barry. I'm guessing the symbolism behind that was that Joe was trying to show that he still considers Barry his son even though Barry's not his biological son and even though he has a biological son.  

Wally West has arrived! This was the moment that we were all waiting for. I just knew that it would come in the last minutes of the episode. I am so anxious to see how this shakes things up. 

Lastly I have to talk about E2 Wells and Zoom. Wells is now working to steal Barry's speed mostly likely to give it to Zoom so he can get even faster. Again we have a Wells using Barry for his speed. (SN: What if he actually steals some of his speed but Wally takes it and that's how he becomes Kid Flash?)

My only question is why didn't E2 Wells tell anyone about this?! I'm pretty sure they would try to figure out a way to help him. 

Well, I can't wait to see the second half of this season. Hopefully we'll see Cisco get a better love interest that has the same amount of conditioner game as he does. See you all in January.

Fall Finale Update: Rosewood

This was another show that started off slow but got better with each episode. I have to say that I thought this show was a little corny, but I'm happy to say that it got better. Once we got some character development and the storylines started to unfold, the show really came into it's own. It proved itself to be a different type of crime drama. A detective and a pathologist team up to fight crime. It kind of reminds me of Mulder and Scully in the sense that you have the detective side and the medical side.
Another thing that changed for me was the relationship between Rosewood and Villa. I didn't immediately want them together romantically, but now I do. I have to blame the show for this because they just keep throwing tropes at us. Plus, these two don't have bad chemistry, so why not.
I'm also really glad that they started their over arching storyline with the fall finale. I've said many times before, just having just a case of the week will get boring over time. It's nice that they've started a storyline that will bleed into multiple episodes.
I want to take a moment to talk about the casting of this show. I love seeing a Latina and a Black man as the leads of a TV show. I love that from the regulars, to the supporting cast, to the cast member that are only on for 1 episode, there's diversity. It just makes me so happy to finally see a show that reflects the society we live in.

I can't wait to see what happens when the season picks back up again. This killer that they're looking for is no joke and it's not going to be easy for them to find him. It looks like things are going to get complicated between Villa and Rosewood because it looked like something was about to happen between them in the finale. I won't be surprised if they share a kiss before the season finale.
If you haven't watched this show, I recommend you do. You've got enough time to catch up because the season doesn't resume until March. Hopefully I'll see you then.

Fall Finale Update: Minority Report

This was actually the season finale of this show, so it's over for know (I hope), but it came in the fall so counts.
I really really like this show. I think it got better and better with each episode and really picked once they got to the over arching storyline of the season. And I was wondering when that would kick in because the 'case of the week' can get old pretty fast.
The finale was amazing. It was intense, the stake were high, there was a sense of urgency with everyone, and it ended with a shocker. It really left me wanting more. Like, where did the precogs go and did Vega go with them? And, what was Wally's fate?

Here's the point where I tell you to go watch this show if you haven't already. WATCH THIS SHOW!! There is a fear that it will be cancelled considering the fact that it was supposed to go for 13 episodes but was cut down to 10, probably because of the ratings. But, I think this show is too good and too important to get cancelled. First off, the future is great but it's not perfect. They did a very good job of showing how awesome the future can be (ex. the technology, the french fries that don't have any calories), but also showed that we still struggled with some things. There was a balance. They showed the negative effects of climate change and that this country still struggles with immigration issues.
The main thing they showed was a diverse future. I've seen so many movies about the future with little to no diversity which leaves the impression that minorities won't be around. That's not the case with this show. And it's not just full of Black people, but includes people of all races. I will never stop stanning for that aspect of the show.

So, please go watch this show if you haven't already. I know all the episodes are up now on Fox's website and they're onDemand (depending on your cable provider). Let's all hope for a second season!

Fall Finale Update: Sleepy Hollow

I have to say that the front half of this season as a slow build. The heat turned up during episodes 1-6, then the pot finally started to boil with episode seven and the pot exploded with episode 8. I'm happy the pot started to boil over because I was starting to get a little worried.
Now I did an update back after episode 4 aired and talked about a couple things that I thought needed to be fixed, so let's revisit that.

• Betsy: Now, I didn't know what her purpose was then and I still don't know what it is. And she's been MIA for the past 2 episodes! So she'll be around a lot more in the back half of the season or she's gone for good. Honestly, if she's around more than I hope we see her doing more. We need to see her fighting stuff instead of just seeing her going off to fight stuff. 
• Abbie needing love: This still needs to be addressed. I mean, we did get a bit of a backstory in episode 6 with Danny, but that was it. Having Crane admit that he's afraid of losing her was a step in the right direction Ichabbie wise, but they need to step it up if this is what they're doing! He needs to flat out say that he loves her to Joe or to Jenny or to Abbie herself! 

Now lets talk about the things I'm really liking this season.

• Pandora: I don't know how many times I've said this, but this years big bad is the best big bad this show has ever had! And now we have her husband (The Hidden One) to deal with. Things are starting to get really interesting. Hopefully we'll learn more about him and their relationship.
• Jenny and Joe: First off there is WAY more Jenny than last year; A+. Second, she has her own storyline separate from Team Witness. Third, Joe (who I'm so glad is back) got to tag along with her on her adventure and they are a great team. Well, I guess you can call them a great couple because of that great big kiss that happened in episode 7. 
• This season's storyline: I think this whole thing with Pandora and The Hidden One is all very interesting and has the potential to be great, we just don't know that much yet. So far I'm intrigued. One hope that I do have is that someone in the FBI knows about the supernatural world and that Abbie's a witness. I refuse to believe that not one single soul in the FBI knows anything about this.

After watching the fall finale, these are my big time hopes for the back half. 

• I want to see Abbie in the underworld. (Because we know she's not dead and that's the only logical explanation of where she went.)
• If Abbie doesn't get herself back I want to see either Crane or Jenny rescue her. 
• Even though this will hurt my feelings, I was to see Crane so utterly devastated now that Abbie's gone. I want him walking around that empty house. I want him sleeping in her bed. I want him frantically searching for a way to get her back. I want it ALL! 
• And when she's finally back, I want the most EPIC Ichabbie reunion to date! Better than the season 2 premiere. 
• Basically I want to be a sobbing mess, puddle of a human being when the show comes back. 

To be honest, I'm not expecting any of this, but only because I don't want to be disappointed. If any of those things happen I'll be shocked and happy but I'm not getting my hopes up too high. 

I have to mention that the show is coming back February 5th at 8pm. That is a Friday, so we got a day change AND a time change. So set your calendars.

Fall Finale Update: How to Get Away with Murder

So the whole first half of this season lead up to us finding out who shot Annalise, which is something I didn't think we would get to this soon. I really thought that they were going to wait until the season finale to tell us.
There were a couple main things that I like about the front half of this season.

• Michaela and Connor: I really like how they're friends this year. 
• This season's storyline: Last season Annalise worked on many cases each week but I like how they mainly had the murder case with the brother and sister this year. There was a lot that went on last year with Lila and Sam getting killed and it was a little hard to keep track of everything. It was easier this year and I liked how it all came together in the end.

Now on to this finale and what I think will happen in the back half of the season.

• Asher's dad: Did we ever find out who leaked the info about his dad to the press? I know it was assumed that it was Sinclair, but we don't know that as fact. I have a feeling that Bonnie did it to get back at Annalise for using the info in the first place. Bonnie would do it because she hates Annalise now. 
• Annalise got shot: She'll be back though. It was never a thought in my mind that she could be dead. I think it would be interesting to see if they show her recuperating in the hospital or if they'll do a time jump. I actually would want to see her in the hospital for a little bit, even if it's just for one episode. I want to see what the Keating 5 will do without their leader. 
• Christof = Wes: It looks like in the back half we'll find out the connection between Annalise and Christof/Wes and his mother. I think Annalise and Eve had something to do with her death. Whether they killed her or not, I'm not sure. I just want to know why they were there when Christof/Wes was getting questioned. If either of them represented him wouldn't he remember them? I mean, he could've repressed those memories. I can't wait to find out all about it.

This show never ceases to amaze and shock me which is why I love it so much. I wan't wait to see all the craziness the back half has to bring in February. It's going to be a long wait but we'll get through it.

Fall Finale Update: Grey's Anatomy

Alright, so I'm just going to bullet point all of my thought on this season. Let's go!

• Maggie is my favorite: Cristina and Bailey will always have a special place in my heart, but it looks like there's room for one more. I find myself saying "I love Maggie" or "Maggie is my favorite" week after week. My favorite scene of hers was when she was talking to Amelia about race/white privilege. Everything she said was perfect. 
• Bailey as chief will always be greatness: I mean, could you think of anyone better for the job. Plus she's doing an amazing job. It was only a matter of time before she got this job. I'm also loving all the help Webber is giving her.
• Jackson and April: I'm not too distraught over their relationship ending. Don't get me wrong, it is heartbreaking to watch, but I'm not in mourning over a relationship that I wanted to happen for months. It just sucks because they made their relationship so epic (especially with the wedding and all) and now it's probably over. 
•  Jo and Stephanie: They've reminded me of Meredith and Cristina for a while now. Both friendships had that "I'm a better doctor than you" conversation, too. Now that they've reconciled, they're on the path to becoming each other's person.

I have a couple of predictions for things what might happen in the back half of the season.

• So I think Riggs is Hunt's brother-in-law and something bad went down between Riggs and Hunt's sister. I don't think Hunt's sister is alive. If she and Riggs got a divorce it wouldn't make sense for him to call her family his family. I think Hunt blames Riggs for her death.
• I'm not quite sure if Jo will say yes or no to Alex's proposal. I'm leaning towards maybe. What I do know is this is a big deal for Alex, just think of the last time he made this step. If Jo says no it will crush him.

This season finale was cliffhanger city! My hope is the winter premiere picks up right where the finale left off, no time jump. I'll see you guys in February.
