Arrow Season Four Trailer Breakdown
I know I am late with this but better late than never lol. Here are just a few things in the trailer that really stood out for me.
Oliver and Felicity living happily ever after: You know I didn't actually expect them to be so "settled down" I guess is the phrase; having a proper home in a nice neighbourhood. It also showed them as really happy so something really BIG must convince Oliver to fight crime again.
Star City: We see a billboard welcoming people to Star City so we now get the proper name for the place out of the comics however it says it was for the memory of Ray Palmer. Everyone knows he is in Legends of Tomorrow so I am guessing he either faked his death so he can focus on being a vigilante or he is stuck as really small and it's up to Felicity to help him.
Diggle's new costume: I have heard a lot of bad comments about Diggle's new look (like how he is a Black Magneto) and I a sick of it! I for one think it is a cool costume that really suits Diggle; something simple and practical that can be used to fight.
The invasion of HIVE: We see Team Arrow (Diggle, Laurel and Thea) seem to struggle against some heavily armed commando looking troops which I guess must be HIVE and the reason they decide to bring back Oliver. We also see a whole bunch of cool looking action scenes with Team Arrow fighting against the HIVE forces.
John Constantine: Ever since the announcement of Constantine being in Arrow I have been looking forward to Season Four so much more. I haven't watched the Constantine show but from what I heard from fans and from Stephen Amell, Matt Ryan was a really awesome Constantine. He is going to bring a new level of powers to the Arrow and Flash universe!
Quentin still being a jerk: I liked Quentin in Season Two and first half of Season Three but when he started to hate the Arrow again I just really started to hate him. Even when he is not a cop the way treats other characters you just want to punch him in the face and it seems I will feel that way again by the shots of him knocking out Diggle and talking to Oliver. He is going to have an anti - vigilante taskforce again from what I read and as long as he doesn't go overboard like in Season Three I can get behind it but if he is just angry all the time again then I hope he gets killed off.
Malcolm and Nyssa back again: We see them have a stare down and a few shots of some fighting which makes me think they still want to kill each other. Looking forward to seeing Malcolm again but I hope Nyssa doesn't hate on Malcolm all throughout another season; I like her but it is always Sara, Sara, Sara, hating Malcolm, Sara, Sara all the time with her. They need to give her a new storyline for once and I really hope they don't have her kill Malcolm and become to new Ra's because I'll just really hate that. Besides I always think of Malcolm as the best fighter and archer in the whole series so I don't want him to lose to Nyssa.
Curtis Holt/Mr Terrific: Another character who I am looking forward to because he is a tech based vigilante who uses devices called T spheres to help him and it looks like we'll see them. Looks like a good character from what I have seen in the trailer and has some awesome and funny scenes with Felicity but I hope they don't wait too long to turn him into Mr Terrific.
Damien Darhk: Really liked the casting for this character and from what I've seen he will be an awesome villain! Unlike Malcolm, Deathstroke and Ra's, Damien looks like he isn't going to just be hiding in the shadows. For example we see him straight up announce to the cops he is the bad guy and we also see his forces attack the police station with Quentin looking to be in trouble.
Lonnie Machin/Anarky: We see a few shots of Anarky who is going to be a major villain this season and while we don't see much we see Damien talking to him which makes me think Anarky will work for him or Damien inspired him to be a villain.
Oliver was a vigilante before present day: We see some Flashbacks of Oliver and it looks like he was The Hood in Coast City before he was in Starling. I like this because it means he practised before being The Hood for real however can't say I like Amanda Waller being there because I never liked her casting.
Thea going crazy: Never saw an bad side affects of the Lazarus Pit affect Thea last season but it seems it will now with Oliver shouting and hitting at her. I wonder how long these effects will last but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Sara Lance is back: Like with Ray it was obvious because we see her in the Legends of Tomorrow trailer and while I did say once her staying dead was important (so not all characters can just come back when they want) I admit I am looking forward to seeing her. This is how Constantine gets involved because the Lazarus Pit really isn't supposed to work on someone who has been dead as long as Sara. I just hope her coming back will change Quentin for the better (unless the they keep it a secret from him) and gives Nyssa something better to do.
Felicity and Curtis fighting Double Down: Besides from being a really funny scene in the trailer what I like most is that Double Down is confirmed to be a Meta Human! I know a bit about him from the comics but in Arrow I read he can use his playing card tattoos as deadly weapons. As I said before I want more Meta Humans in Arrow because I would really like to see Oliver going up against one.
There you have it, this trailer is really making me looks forward to Season Four and I don't think I missed anything in this breakdown.

Falling Skies Season Five: Reunion
Tom acquires a powerful new weapon for the final fight however an unexpected visitor turns up and Pope launches his attack on the 2nd Mass.
Can't believe that next week will be the finale of the entire Falling Skies series but no time for that now since I have to review this episode. First off the main plot point was the return of Lexi and I was both glad and disappointed; glad because I have always liked the character I just found the storyline in Season Four in Chinatown they gave her to be boring, disappointed because it is a bit of a repeat of the Marhsall Clone episode and it was obvious from the start she was a clone. However I did like the conflict she created by toying with the emotions of the Mason family like Anne and Tom but Matt was really good in it. Him dealing with the decision of bringing her back and justifying it to Hal made for some great scenes; I don't know about anyone else but I just get annoyed with Hal lately and want to punch him right in his smug damn face. All in all her return was handled really well, giving doubts to the 2nd Mass so close to the endgame and wanting you to wish it really was the real Lexi. The next big plot point was with the Dorina and while I am glad to know more about them and see them properly I find their magic bullet to be dues ex machina. I would have preferred the humans to think of their own plan to win rather than rely on an alien weapon that suddenly appeared but I did at least like the testing scenes with Marty and Anne.
As for everything else I did kind of like Pope's attack (good gunfight) on the 2nd Mass but it just felt so lacklustre in the end; it was over so quickly that I'm sure the 2nd Mass just treated it as a five minute inconvenience. Now this could either be because Pope actually survived the explosion and the writers have plans for him next week or they just didn't know what to do with him in the end. I hope it is the first one because this is POPE he just can't go out like this but I hope if he does come back it is for redemption. I will say again I would much prefer him surviving until the end fighting with the 2nd Mass than dying as a villain. Finally there is Ben's determination to get more intel on the Espheni which gives his character something better to do than cry over Maggie, it was like he was back to his old self where he was so important to the plot. The episode ended with an awesome shot of the flying Skitters attacking which should mean the finale will open up with a cool battle.
Overall a really good episode just before the finale, I am not going to put Pope's death in the Let - Downs because I'll save it for the finale if it is confirmed. Still finding out where the Queen is and Tom talking to the other Militia does get me excited for the final battle.
SCORE: 7/10
Highlights: The conflict Lexi Clone created with the Masons
Matt and Ben where real standouts
The action scene between Pope's gang and the 2nd Mass
Let - Downs: The magic bullet just arriving now to solve everything
Another clone so soon after the last one.
That was it for Pope's big attack?

Marvel's Agent Carter: Bridge and Tunnel
 |
| What a nice fun time |
Just the second episode but Agent Carter is turning out to be one damn solid Marvel series! Just like the last episode I really enjoyed watching this from the beginning all the way until the end. First off I just got to praise the people behind the show for recreating the 1940s just so perfectly; just everything from the clothes, the technology, the buildings and how every acts is just spot on. A highlight of it in this episode was that really funny Captain America radio drama that played several times and sometimes mirrored what was going on, now that was a nice touch. Another highlight was again the team up with Carter and Jarvis and I am glad that this time Jarvis took on a more active role and it looks like he has gained some of Carter's trust at the end. The action scenes in this with them (like the fight on the truck) was so awesome and done really well and I liked how in this episode and the last one they add a bit of light humour as well. Leviathan is becoming an interesting antagonist such as how they seem to mute all of their agents and that one agent who murdered one guys wife and stabbed the other's hand was pretty damn gruesome!

| We should really go back to this kind of interrogation lol |
SCORE: 9/10
Highlights: The 1940s setting perfectly recreated and a joy to watch
Carter and Jarvis team up/action scenes with them
Leviathan got way better
Let - Downs: Want to know more about her fellow agents

Gotham Season One: Best and Worst
 |
Best
Gordon and Bullock: These two made one great team and I really like seeing them together solving the recent crime of the week. I like their banter, arguments, their different points of view on everything and I liked how they grow to trust one another over the course of the season.
Villain and Hero origins: It is great seeing a live action and different take on the origins of some of Batman's heroes and villains. Every week I eagerly await this show because I just want to see which villain or hero is next to be seen.
Alfred: Sean Pertwee has always been such a great actor and the perfect choice to play the younger, no nonsense Alfred who kicks some serious ass!
Penguin: The best young version of a Batman villain in Gotham; a highlight in every episode and a scene stealer!
Bruce and Selina: Another great team in Gotham, these two are just so great together. I like how they learn from one another because they are from different social classes and I enjoy the episodes when they partner up.
The Red Hood episode: One my favourite episodes of the season; the Red Hood Gang was really funny, I liked the Alfred subplot and I found it interesting that they treated the Red Hood itself as some kind of cursed item.
Great action moments: The fighting and shootouts have all been entertaining to watch, I'm glad they don't hold back on the violence too much.
The corrupt GCPD: It was always good throughout this season seeing Gordon stand up to the other cops, especially against Loeb towards the end of the season.
The original Ogre villain: The Ogre really worked as a villain; he had a great backstory, methods of killing (we didn't see any real bondage lol) and he was developed really well. Shame he was killed off at the end.
The Goat episode/Bullock Flashback: Bullock is one of my favourite characters and I liked that the episode focused on him. I also really liked the Flashback at the beginning because you can really see the difference between him then and now.
Gordon and Leslie: This relationship was a 1000 times better than when Gordon was with Barbara because there was no chemistry there. With these two however it worked so well and they come off as a far more convincing couple than Barbara ever did. You know I wouldn't be surprised if this was only supposed to be temporary but got so popular they kept them together because I have read many opinions on this and they want Barbara out of here!
Nygma's decent into madness: I know for the beginning of the season he was a side character who was also comic relief but near the end when he killed you can really see him taking the first step to a villain. I hope he actually becomes the Riddler during season two and maybe Kringle will join him as a Harley Quinn kind of companion.
Worst
Fish: Everyone knows I hate Fish because she was an original character that just did not work in Gotham. Jada Pinkett Smith is just a terrible actress, Fish herself is really stupid in the things she did and I hated that the series had to try and fit her into every plot. The few episodes near the end that didn't feature her proved that the show did not need her at all, I am glad she was killed off and I hope she never comes back.
Barbara: Now on to Barbara who is as stupid as Fish and I hated everything she did; from her forced lesbian subplot, drinking, drugs and I always got the feeling she blamed Gordon for everything even though it is all her fault. I know her faults is her crucible to move past but I said this about Arrow's Thea and Laurel and I am saying it now; I have no sympathy or care much for a character who goes through drinking and drugs as a crucible. It is a waste of time and the character (mostly women for some reason) act like complete bitches. Then of course Barbara killed her parents and tired to kill Leslie and I honestly don't know if they can bring her back from this so I hope she is gone forever like Fish.
Montoya: The character who started Barbara on the path of ruin; she was incredibly annoying whenever she was on screen and I just hated that she kept going after Gordon in the beginning. I am just really glad that she was barely in the season so I hope the writers decided to drop her character.
The death of Maroni and the departure of Falcone: Two awesome characters and mob bosses whose exit from the show left something to be desired. First off I really liked Maroni because like Penguin he was a bit of a scene stealer whenever he was on screen but no he freaking had to be killed off by Fish at the end just because he said a few wrong words to her. Then there is Falcone that I think the show portrayed him as weaker as he should be; he is supposed to be the big boss of Gotham yet characters (like Fish) seem to one up him and then he just leaves at the end.
Butch and Dent were underused: Two great characters who should have had more screen time because Dent is one of my favourite Batman characters and Butch was way more interesting than Fish.
Selina in the finale: She is one of my favourite characters but the way she was in the finale was just plain annoying and it was thanks to bloody Fish! The gave her a stupid look and made her act too differently and it was probably all so they can portray Fish as this great leader.
Fish ruined the Dollmaker subplot: Colm Feore is one of my favourite actors and I was glad when he was cast as the Dollmaker, buy why oh why did his plot have to be a part of Fish's! He was really built up in the second episode but most of the time Fish hogged all the screen time doing her stupid mutiny with the prisoners which was just so boring.
There you have it a list of the best and worst of Gotham season one in my opinion. I probably missed a lot buy these are the ones that just really stood out as I was writing this list.

Falling Skies Season Four Review: Best and Worst
Should have gotten round to doing this ages ago but I was too busy with Arrow, Flash and Gotham however since they are finished for now I now have the time, plus the last season starts soon. You know since I review individual episodes now I think when I review a series as a whole like this I will just list off the standouts of the season in a best and worst category because it is easier and gets to the point quicker.
Best
The prison arc: While I am disappointed with the destruction of Charleston the three episodes where Tom and a few others of the main cast are trying to breakout of prison are really cool. We got the most action in these scenes, Tom was a vigilante and the breakout was awesome.
Pope gets a love interest: Pope just can't be a detached badass all the time and the next logical step with his character was to give him someone to care about plus I do like Sara because she is way better than the other female characters in this season.
The battle for Chinatown: Both battles where really epic; the first one was all guns and explosions while the second had more of a creepy vibe with those new harnesses that moved through the mist.
Going into space: This was really cool because the attack on the moon base is way bigger than what they have done before.
The talking Espheni: I liked that we got to see them talk to each other with their minds without using harness children and that the got some scenes alone with each other. Instead of them just being the silent leaders we got to know more about their personality.
The Volm: The Volm are always going to be a highlight whenever I talk about Falling Skies!
Super - Skitters: This was a really good concept but not explored as much as I wold have liked. Weaver's daughter Jeanne was mutated into this new type of Skitter but after her we didn't get to see any others. However this gave us a really emotional episode that was one of the best of the season because Weaver is such a great character.
Worst
Lexi: They really messed up this character I can tell you that because her whole cult thing that took up most of the first half was so damn boring! Sure her powers where cool but I hated that she kept constantly changing sides; I wished Tom had let Pope and his gang kill her because she really would have deserved it. Even her cocoon phrase was a real let down because it would have been cool if she looked more Espheni - like after but no, she was just the same!
Anne: They try to toughen her up from just being the doctor for the previous season but she got so annoying throughout this season. Like when she was leading the remains of 2nd Mass at the beginning, beating that Espheni, constantly ignoring everyone and getting angry at anyone who threatens Lexi. She just comes off as a right bitch and I wish that she was killed off this season.
Lourdes: She has never been a character I really cared for and that is still the case when they made her completely insane this season. I know she went through some hard times in Season Two and Three but she just did some really crazy stuff now like attacking Ben and Kadar when they extracted Lexi's blood. Was she honestly that blinded to her powers? Still the good thing is that she was killed off which is good because I don't think she could have redeemed herself.
The re - education camp: What really was the point of this? The Espheni have the means to control children with harnesses so why is there any need to brainwash them? I know they did it so they can put spies into human camps but since humanity has just been reduced to small roaming groups it just seemed pointless in my opinion.
Killing off Tector and Kadar: Two great characters who I think deserved to survive all the way till the end, it really is a shame because I think these two have been developed really well. This also strengthens my argument I have made before that Falling Skies does not kill off any of it's main cast in situations when it should. I know they killed off Lourdes but she went crazy and I don't think was that popular anyway so it doesn't count. For example I always thought one of Tom's kids should have been killed off (Hal would have been a good choice) because I think it would have had an interesting impacting on his character and would have been really dark as well or they could have killed off Anne because I think she has outlived her importance.
Hal jealous with Ben and Maggie: I just really didn't see the point in this because we already had something similar to this in season two with Karen and Hal just came across as an ass. Plus while I like Maggie a little more than some of the other female characters in the show I think her dying would have been better overall (mentioned above about main characters not dying) but no they had to think of a convenient why to save her like with Hal in Season Three and sacrifice side characters in her place.
Destroying Charleston: I really liked Charleston in the previous season because it was cool that the humans had a proper base to fight from and was quite the change from season one and two; they had more hope than they did before. So I was disappointed when it was destroyed in five minutes in the first episode but what disappointed me more was that 2nd Mass didn't go back to a group moving from town to town like in season two. No they just stayed in Chinatown for the whole season and I just didn't like it or see the point of it.
The Skitter rebellion is wiped out off screen: Built up so much in Season Two and they still played a large role in Season Three but they just decided to get rid of it off screen, probably to make more room for Lexi's stupid cult.
Overall I did like some of new stuff in this season but they tired too many others that just did not work; it failed to capture the really dark tone of Season Two (the best season) or the scale of Season Three where the humans have a proper base and stand toe to toe with the Espheni thanks to their Volm allies. I think they wanted it to be more like Season One when it was a small group in a kind of hopeless situation but that, in my opinion, is taking a step backwards and failed to recapture the feeling anyway. It is still a great watch but it is the weakest Season of Falling Skies.
SCORE: 6/10
Best

My Thoughts On The Walking Dead Season 5 And More
I don't review The Walking Dead as a whole series anymore and I chose not to review individual episodes however I thought I'd give my thoughts on season 5 by listing the good and bad points of it. SPOILERS.
Good
The Hunters: Now these where portrayed well in the TV series and their backstory was even improved upon and they lasted a whole lot longer than in the comics. The individual hunters where fleshed out a lot more, we had an awesome season premiere of Rick's group escaping their camp and we got some really gruesome cannibalism scenes from them later.
Father Gabriel: A character who like the Hunters was portrayed really well in the TV series because they barely changed his character and backstory. In my opinion when you want to change a character from source material to live action it only works with minor characters for example giving them more of a backstory. It worked with the Hunters and even the group Daryl was with for a bit in season 4 but it doesn't work with main characters; Andrea and the Governor for example. Andrea I just hated and found annoying (plus she was completely miscast) and while I really liked the Governor and David Morrissey they took away a lot of the sick and violent stuff he did in the comics.
Abraham's group/Flashback episode: Another example of characters portrayed well in live action and probably the best ones as well because they really look like their characters. One of my favourite episodes this season was when it focused on Abraham's group and his flashback. I am grateful to this episode too because it gave us a break from that so boring police arc.
The Alexandria Safe Zone: A part from a few changes that annoy me (the biggest one mentioned below) the safe zone really looks great. We also have quite a few major characters introduced from the comics who live in the safe zone like Aaron, Jessie and Pete. It seems to be sticking close to the source material and even when it hasn't it has still been entertaining such as when Glenn, Eugene and the others went to find parts for the solar grid.
Bad
The episodes with the Beth and the police: This just had to be in the bad list because it was just so damn boring! Probably the worst episodes of all in the whole series and it just wasted so much time. For starters I have never liked Beth's character; I never got why they downside Hershel's family and then replace Billy from the comics with another daughter. Next that woman who was in charge of the police (can't be bothered to remember her name) was just such a bad character, I mean they don't even make it clear if she is good or a villain. All the cops hate her, she lets them do all they want with patients, she imprisons Beth and Noah yet wastes so much time explaining her side of everything. To make matters worse they didn't even have a big shoot out between the two group; the policewoman and Beth just both did something stupid and got themselves killed.
Killing off Bob, Tyresse and Noah: What started off as a joke on the internet has become true in my opinion; the always seem to kill off the black guy. They built Bob up to be such a good character that it was such a shame that they used him to replace Dale's death in the series. I know Tyresse dies at the prison in the comics so they had to kill him sooner or later but I feel like they could have done a lot more with him and let him reach the safe zone. Then there was Noah who I felt they didn't even need to kill off despite it being a really cool and gruesome death scene. I just can't get why these great characters had to die when such an annoying bitch like Sasha is still around and I'll get to her now.
Sasha: Now this is one annoying bitch who I wish they wold just kill off already! I know she is a bit of a replacement for Andrea and is even taking over some of Micchone's comic scenes in the Alexandria Safe Zone but I think it hasn't worked. She just whines and complains about everything and I just find her rages when she attacks zombies to just be so bloody stupid. I just don't get the point of her character at this point because she just seems to hate everyone and everything and she outcasts herself too bloody much.
Replacing Paul Monroe with Deanna: Now this is something that really bothers me; in the comics the leader of the safe zone is an ex- politician named Paul Monroe. He is a really good character in my opinion and brings a great backstory about the safe zone where he was forced to exile it's founder and friend Davidson. However we don't get that in the TV series instead he is replaced for no apparent reason at all by Deanna who is just such a poor substitute. Her recording all her meetings is just pointless and I just find her to be really unlikeable, weak and incredibly stupid; she just doesn't feel like she could be a leader of a community.
No weather changes: This is actually for all seasons but I am really annoyed that it is always summer in the Walking Dead when they have to battle all seasons, like the winter, in the comics.
The Finale: The parts with Morgan, Daryl and Aaron where good as well as the ending with Pete but besides that it was such a disappointment for a feature length episode. I just hate everything Sasha does such as lying with those walkers to her confrontation with Gabriel; are they trying to make us feel sorry for her because it is not working, they have just created an incredibly annoying character. What I also hated was that they didn't kill Deanna off and now we have to suffer with her in season 6 now; why did they have to make her husband be the one killed by Pete? I just don't get why they had to replace Paul with her! It just didn't feel like a finale to me because it didn't feel like anything major happened, plus we didn't even get a major character death or even that Nicholas who so deserves it.
There you have it just a few good and bad moments that really stood out for me this season. I really do like The Walking Dead but my biggest problem is that it changes too much from the comics and when it creates it's own original material it is usually boring. Here is a few examples from each season after one (that season only had six episodes anyway):
Season Two: The entire season set in Hershel's farm, spending ages discussing whether or not to kill their captive, Andrea and that zombie in the well.
Season Three: Andrea being with the Governor because she basically does nothing and this replaces the awesome arc in the comics when Rick is captured by the Governor, introducing Tyresse now when it should have been in last season and cutting out a lot of the violent things the Governor does.
Season Four: The sickness lasts a bit too long, baby Judith surviving the Governor's attack when in the comics her death haunts Rick and Carl for ages, the group splitting up was dragged on for too long and felt like filler.
Despite these examples I still really like The Walking Dead TV series but there are a lot of characters and events I want to see from the comics, Negan and Jesus for example (no spoilers but those who have read the comics will know what I am talking about!)
Good
The Hunters: Now these where portrayed well in the TV series and their backstory was even improved upon and they lasted a whole lot longer than in the comics. The individual hunters where fleshed out a lot more, we had an awesome season premiere of Rick's group escaping their camp and we got some really gruesome cannibalism scenes from them later.
Father Gabriel: A character who like the Hunters was portrayed really well in the TV series because they barely changed his character and backstory. In my opinion when you want to change a character from source material to live action it only works with minor characters for example giving them more of a backstory. It worked with the Hunters and even the group Daryl was with for a bit in season 4 but it doesn't work with main characters; Andrea and the Governor for example. Andrea I just hated and found annoying (plus she was completely miscast) and while I really liked the Governor and David Morrissey they took away a lot of the sick and violent stuff he did in the comics.
Abraham's group/Flashback episode: Another example of characters portrayed well in live action and probably the best ones as well because they really look like their characters. One of my favourite episodes this season was when it focused on Abraham's group and his flashback. I am grateful to this episode too because it gave us a break from that so boring police arc.
The Alexandria Safe Zone: A part from a few changes that annoy me (the biggest one mentioned below) the safe zone really looks great. We also have quite a few major characters introduced from the comics who live in the safe zone like Aaron, Jessie and Pete. It seems to be sticking close to the source material and even when it hasn't it has still been entertaining such as when Glenn, Eugene and the others went to find parts for the solar grid.
Bad
The episodes with the Beth and the police: This just had to be in the bad list because it was just so damn boring! Probably the worst episodes of all in the whole series and it just wasted so much time. For starters I have never liked Beth's character; I never got why they downside Hershel's family and then replace Billy from the comics with another daughter. Next that woman who was in charge of the police (can't be bothered to remember her name) was just such a bad character, I mean they don't even make it clear if she is good or a villain. All the cops hate her, she lets them do all they want with patients, she imprisons Beth and Noah yet wastes so much time explaining her side of everything. To make matters worse they didn't even have a big shoot out between the two group; the policewoman and Beth just both did something stupid and got themselves killed.
Killing off Bob, Tyresse and Noah: What started off as a joke on the internet has become true in my opinion; the always seem to kill off the black guy. They built Bob up to be such a good character that it was such a shame that they used him to replace Dale's death in the series. I know Tyresse dies at the prison in the comics so they had to kill him sooner or later but I feel like they could have done a lot more with him and let him reach the safe zone. Then there was Noah who I felt they didn't even need to kill off despite it being a really cool and gruesome death scene. I just can't get why these great characters had to die when such an annoying bitch like Sasha is still around and I'll get to her now.
Sasha: Now this is one annoying bitch who I wish they wold just kill off already! I know she is a bit of a replacement for Andrea and is even taking over some of Micchone's comic scenes in the Alexandria Safe Zone but I think it hasn't worked. She just whines and complains about everything and I just find her rages when she attacks zombies to just be so bloody stupid. I just don't get the point of her character at this point because she just seems to hate everyone and everything and she outcasts herself too bloody much.
Replacing Paul Monroe with Deanna: Now this is something that really bothers me; in the comics the leader of the safe zone is an ex- politician named Paul Monroe.

My 20 favourite protagonists from recent TV show I watch
Here is a list of my 20 favourite protagonists, who are all from TV series that have aired recently (or are still airing) and am watching. None of these characters are villains because I might do a separate list for them however there are some characters in this list who are in the grey. (I don't have screencaps for Game of Thrones so I only put two in this list)
20. Michonne
The badass, katana - wielding zombie killer who is a fan favourite in the comics and has been portrayed really well in the TV series. She always keeps her head in a crisis and I have to give her credit for picking a sword for her main weapon; smart choice because it doesn't use bullets. She is at the bottom of my list because I admit I didn't like her too much at first but that is mainly because the writers just had to pair her with that stupid Andrea and I just didn't like the storyline those two had.
19. Jim Gordon
Was not sure how good Gotham was going to be (a Batman series without Batman?) however Gordon was one of the reasons that proved the show can work. They gave the comic book version of Gordon justice by making his younger TV version exactly how I imagined he would be.
18. Harvey Bullock
I like Bullock a bit more than Gordon because he isn't just as straight forward as him. He may have started out corrupt and uncaring but he really has changed with the episodes and I especially liked his small flashback in the goat episode.
17. Dan Weaver
Tom may have become the most important person on earth since the show started but Weaver will always be the leader of the 2nd Mass who does anything and everything to protect those under his command.
16. Jamie Lannister
You may think that Jamie should be on my villains list but he has earned a space on this list because of his redemption story which started in season three. He started out as a cocky knight who would do anything for his sister to a more honourable sort of character, besides in Game of Thrones basically every character is in the grey.
15 Felicity Smoak
I just had to have Team Arrow on this list because they where the first hero team in the new DC tv series universe. Felicity is everything you want in one; beautiful, funny, reliable and really, really smart to name a few. She may not be a vigilante but she is none the less the kind of person you want on you team and she does attract a lot of heroes; Arrow, Flash and ATOM.
14. John Diggle
The first person Arrow recruited for his team and the one everyone can depend on either to talk to or to take into a fight. Diggle is Arrow's reliable backup on his missions and someone who deserves his own costume and hero name more than anyone!
13. Rick Grimes
May have started out as a cop but through the course of the show you see zombies and the need for survival take their toll on Rick has he is willing to do anything to protect his family. He is a natural leader and one of the best zombie killers in any zombie fiction.
12. Black Canary (Sara Lance)
Black Canary is a great comic book character and she was soooooo great in Arrow. She kicks lots of ass with her staff and her costume is really great. I also liked that she had a connection with the League of Assassins and it is because of her and Malcolm that they have such a presence in the show.
11. Tom Mason
The invasions was probably good for Tom because it turned him from a college professor to literally the most important person on the planet. I like how Tom always seems to put the needs of other before his own and fights to protect everyone.
10. Charlie Matheson
She can sometimes be stubborn but I do really like Charlie as the strong female lead in Revolution along side Nora (Rachael never should have existed). I really liked Charlie's journey from being a sheltered child to quite the capable fighter as she travels across America and gains new experiences.
9. Cochise
The only non human on this list but I really like him all the same. He is such a great character and ally to the human race and to Tom especially, it is really interesting when he is on screen and that his race have their own plans.
8. Arsenal (Roy Harper)
For starters I actually like his costume a lot more than Arrow's but that is mainly because I like red better than green lol. I liked Roy ever since season one and I liked what he had to go through to become Arsenal. However now that he is Arsenal he defiantly needs a new story arc since I don't think he has had one yet in season three.
7. Sebastian Monroe
If he didn't redeem himself a bit in season two than he would be in the villains list, I know he still does some questionable things to get results but so does Miles anyway. Monroe is kind of a tragic character because he was a villain at first because of a lot of other influences e.g. Miles, losing his family etc. He is also a great leader and one of the best fighters in Revolution, would have enjoyed a season three where we watch him reform the Monroe Republic.
6. Daryl Dixon
Michonne and Rick are great zombie killers however they don't compare to Daryl because he is just a natural born survivalist. If there is anyone more equip to survive the end of the world it is Daryl because he is a tracker, hunter, gunfighter, archer, stealth fighter and the list goes on. He isn't even in the comics but he has just become so popular in the TV series that they can just never kill him off.
5. Tyrion Lannister
The outcast but one of the most smartest manipulators there is and also the most popular character in the show. Tyrion is good natured while his family and those around him are not and is one of the most powerful players in the game of thrones.
4. The Flash (Barry Allen)
Like Felicity I count Barry as an extremely "likable nerd" type character and I also like that the chose Barry Allen for the Flash in the TV series since he is the best one in the comics. I have really enjoyed watching Barry understand his powers more and more and I he was the character who introduced super powers in to the Arrow universe.
3. Arrow (Oliver Queen)
Arrow was the first to prove that heroes work on the small screen and not just in a film and for that I will always be grateful. They did a great adaptation that has so far spawned one spin off and there are talks of several more soon. Marvel was dominating the live action film universe but DC really hit back with their TV series and is all thanks to Arrow. The character himself is just so cool showing his hardships on the island to a dark vigilante in the present.
2. Miles Matheson
Quite literally a one man army, Miles Matheson could face off against fifty Militia with only his sword and still win. Again all characters in Revolution have a great story and I liked how in the Flashbacks Miles was this cold - hearted Militia leader to the drunk we see him in the present. He does a lot of questionable things in the series (some might be viewed as evil) however I have always thought of him as one of the good guys.
1. John Pope
"Life hands ya lemons, ya blow his freaking head off." Pop is defiantly my favourite TV series character because he is just a damn badass! He fully accepted the humans had lost to the aliens and just wanted to go out fighting but eventually accepted being apart of the 2nd Mass. Still that doesn't stop him from butting heads with everyone but when the s**t goes down he is always there getting his digs in. As much as he probably tries to deny it Pope is a real hero to the human race as much as Tom and I just like every scene he is in.
20. Michonne
The badass, katana - wielding zombie killer who is a fan favourite in the comics and has been portrayed really well in the TV series. She always keeps her head in a crisis and I have to give her credit for picking a sword for her main weapon; smart choice because it doesn't use bullets.

What I want to see in the future of Arrow and The Flash (SPOILERS)
Thought I'd make a list of some things I really want to see in the Arrow and The Flash universe (season three and beyond) such as new characters, returning ones, or plot points. Now all the stuff I am going to mention could be considered SPOILERS because I will be talking about the shows and comics and they might come true lol.
ARROW
A new Huntress: Those who have read my reviews know that I just hate Arrow's version of the Huntress and the pathetic actress who played her who can't act; I am currently re watching season two and just watched Birds of Prey again and I couldn't stand her, I wanted someone to put an arrow through her brain. They have completely ruined her character by turning her more into a villain and she has a stupid story where she wants to kill her father which is reused every time she appears. They should just abandon this Huntress (let her rot in jail) and let Oliver have a new female protégé who becomes the new Huntress and is a proper vigilante.
Roy loses his arm: Those who have read the comics know that Arsenal has a robotic arm and I want to see that in live action. It is not even that far fetched anymore since Ray is making a his ATOM suit so why can't Roy have a robotic arm?
Tommy comes back via Lazarus Pit: Tommy was such an awesome character and still one of my favourites and I think it would be such a great storyline for Tommy to come back as the new Dark Archer. I think it has been proved that the Lazarus Pits exist in this universe and I want Ra's to revive Tommy with it and train him to be a top assassin.
More DC villains: Since there are lots I don't want to go over all of them but one I recently thought that could fit in well in the TV series is Hush. Now I know he is a Batman villain and I know he is a past connection with Batman but I think if they altered his past a bit it could work.
Nightwing: It has already been confirmed that Batman will never appear in the Arrow/Flash TV universe however I think Nightwing can definitely be in it. He just really deserves to be portrayed in live action and Bludhaven is already been shown which is the city he protects. Like with Hush above all they would have to do is alter is past just a bit and it could work.
More Suicide Squad: This group of villains need at least one or two episodes a season dedicated to them because they are just awesome but more than that they really need new members. I already said in one of my reviews Diggle could be the Unknown Solider but other villains (with no powers) that could work in the group are Savant and Black Spider to just name two.
For Thea to become relevant or be killed off: Thea has gotten better with the training she has received from Malcolm but besides from killing Sara while drugged I just don't see where they are going with her character.
More Komodo: He was such a damn good villain and archer that I am so disappointed he has yet to appear or even be mentioned again.
THE FLASH
Time Travel: It is basically proven that Reverse Flash in from the future so I want Barry to go into the future or past himself.
Gorilla Grodd: A great Flash villain who has already been teased in appearing and I just think it would be awesome seeing an intelligent ape with psychic powers in live action.
Booster Gold: If time travel does exist then Booster Gold could definitely find a place in future episodes because he is a great character from the comics.
More Rouges: Just like with the Suicide Squad in Arrow I want there to be even more members in The Flash's Rouges group.
Caitlin becomes Killer Frost and Cisco becomes Vibe: It would be great for these two to gain powers and if Fire Storm is sticking close to his comic counterpart than Caitlin will have to become Killer Frost sooner or later.
More Reverse Flash: The last Flash episode before the mid season break was just so epic because of Reverse Flash and I want to see more of him.
Barry discovers the Speed Force: In the comics the Speed Force is what gives Barry his speed and it plays a central role in major events, so I hope it gets introduced in the TV series.
There you have it just a few major events I want to see in the Arrow and The Flash TV series though there are probably a lot more they can do. Also I know Arrow and The Flash are airing again in America and that is so unfair! I can't believe we in the UK have to wait three weeks for the new episodes because I heard they are coming back February 10th over here. I can't wait that long!!
ARROW
A new Huntress: Those who have read my reviews know that I just hate Arrow's version of the Huntress and the pathetic actress who played her who can't act; I am currently re watching season two and just watched Birds of Prey again and I couldn't stand her, I wanted someone to put an arrow through her brain.

Game Review: Lightning Returns
Finally, finally a review on the last entry of the XIII series.
The story of Lightning Returns is set five hundred years after the events of XIII - 2 and the old world was been completely erased and a new world now stands in it's place. The Chaos that was unleashed has stopped humans from aging and the death of Etro has stopped any new humans from ever being born. Lightning has returned from her crystal sleep after all this time by the God Bhunivelze who informs Lightning that the world has only thirteen days left before it's destruction and she must save as many souls as she can so they can be reborn in the new world the God wants to create. In return for this service Bhunivelze has promised to return Serah to her so Lightning, aided by a now young Hope, must do the God's bidding and save the human race.
Like with the other two XIII games I will first start off with my thoughts on the story and in my opinion it is stronger than XIII -2 but not as good as XIII. Overall XIII's story with Fal'Cie, artificial world and a rag - tag group of misfits trying to save it is better, this is probably to do the fact that besides the supernatural elements its was a lot simpler. What I mean by that is that in XIII - 2 they add in time travel and made the whole game feel episodic where you jump from one time to the next dealing with other problems. In this one they basically got rid of the entire world of Gran Pulse and Cocoon and included more powerful Gods etc. It just felt like the whole thing has gotten out of hand from the first entry. Many characters from the previous games return however most of the time they are against Lightning and usually serve as the final boss for one of the storylines.
Now for what makes Lightning Returns really great is the gameplay; out of the three games in the XIII series they put the most effort into the gameplay for this one. Firstly they have finally created a massive open world that the previous two entries didn't have, it was so massive that it felt like you where playing a MMO but single player (like Skyrim!). They may have had only four areas but like I just said they where just so big and I like the diversity in them because you have two cities, a grassland and a desert. There is lots to do in these areas such as finding items, fighting monsters and completing side quests. Side quests are actually more important now then they have ever been before because completing them increases your stats. The good thing about this is that it gives you a lot of things to do in the game however in my opinion I would have preferred some kind of levelling system because that is just more traditional really.
Also just like with the massive world there is now more freedom with the main quests as you can complete part of it, do something else and then comeback. This is a really enjoyable way to approach the main missions and reminded me of a lot of the older Final Fantasys however this is hampered by the 13 day rule. You only have 13 in game days to complete the main and side quests which actually seems pretty long when I was playing it and I get why they have done it because it ties with the main story however I really wished they didn't include this because it feels restrictive about what I can do. Again you have more freedom to complete the missions then any of the other XIII games however I kind of felt a bit rushed sometimes to make sure I fit in all I can.
Now for the best part of Lightning Returns and that is the battle/garb system! You may only control Lightning in the game but it is one of the best battle systems in Final Fantasy, just as good as the Dress Sphere system in X-2. I think the ability to change outfits and in to different job roles is the best way to fight in Final Fantasy because it offers so much variety and different styles of fighting the enemy. Lightning has lots of garbs in this, each one having it's own strengths and weakness and Lightning just looks great in all of them too. You can even customize them in the menu for new abilities, change their colours and even add accessories; wish the last one was a bit more flexible as you can only equip one accessory per garb. You also have a wide array of weapons and shields that offer their own abilities or stat increases and can be gain from shops or side quests.
Overall Lightning Returns certainly stands out from the previous XIII games and was a great way to end the series. This review defiantly wasn't as in depth as I would have wanted but that it because it is a quick one I wanted to do while I was writing all the Arrow reviews.

Let - Downs: The first XIII game still has the best story
The 13 day time limit
The story of Lightning Returns is set five hundred years after the events of XIII - 2 and the old world was been completely erased and a new world now stands in it's place. The Chaos that was unleashed has stopped humans from aging and the death of Etro has stopped any new humans from ever being born. Lightning has returned from her crystal sleep after all this time by the God Bhunivelze who informs Lightning that the world has only thirteen days left before it's destruction and she must save as many souls as she can so they can be reborn in the new world the God wants to create. In return for this service Bhunivelze has promised to return Serah to her so Lightning, aided by a now young Hope, must do the God's bidding and save the human race.
Like with the other two XIII games I will first start off with my thoughts on the story and in my opinion it is stronger than XIII -2 but not as good as XIII. Overall XIII's story with Fal'Cie, artificial world and a rag - tag group of misfits trying to save it is better, this is probably to do the fact that besides the supernatural elements its was a lot simpler. What I mean by that is that in XIII - 2 they add in time travel and made the whole game feel episodic where you jump from one time to the next dealing with other problems. In this one they basically got rid of the entire world of Gran Pulse and Cocoon and included more powerful Gods etc. It just felt like the whole thing has gotten out of hand from the first entry. Many characters from the previous games return however most of the time they are against Lightning and usually serve as the final boss for one of the storylines.

Arrow Season One: Legacies
The episode begins with a robbery at the Starling Trust Bank by three armed robbers wearing masks with a King, Jack and Ace on them (the Royal Flush Gang). During the robbery Ace shoots one of the hostages which angers King because it was an off duty cop, they then send all of the hostages outside wearing similar masks of their own before escaping through a tunnel. After sparring Oliver and Diggle check on the next name on the list, Scott Morgan, however Diggle suggest Oliver goes after the Royal Flush Gang. Diggle thinks Oliver should save the city beyond his father's list and be a hero but Oliver believes he isn't one. We then have a Flashback and Oliver is weakening with no food and drink and see a hallucination of his father Robert.
Meanwhile Laurel's legal firm where she works has lost it's major donor which makes it a bad time for Tommy to ask her out but gets advice from Thea when he visits Queen manor. Diggle then calls Oliver to tell him Moira is at the hospital however it turns out to be a trick since Diggle wanted to show him the cop who was shot and is now in a coma. This convinces Oliver to stop the Royal Flush Gang and after viewing footage at the bank concludes that Ace is the violent one and steals evidence from the police station where he slapped a hostage with his ring. The next day Tommy has funded Laurel's firm with money from his family's company; Merlyn Global Group. While this frustrates Laurel because she knows the real reason he is doing this she agrees to it.
Oliver later discovers the possible identities of the Royal Flush Gang but remembers he has to be at dinner with his family, however during the dinner Diggle gets word that another bank is being robbed and has to leave. Oliver arrives to stop the gang from taking any money but they get away and almost has a close encounter with the police. Oliver then contacts Felicity to do a background check on the Reston Family, who are the Royal Flush Gang, and finds out that Derek Reston was employed in a factory by Queen's Consolidated but lost it when Robert Queen moved all the work to China and was even cheated out of a severance package. Oliver is disgusted by this and even has a Flashback where he contemplates suicide in front of the hallucination of Robert. Elsewhere Tommy admits he wants to get closer to Laurel because he is tired of his meaningless relationships with women.
Later Oliver finds Derek in a bar and tries to make amends by offering him a job however Derek refuses because he is still angry at Robert. Oliver manages to put a tracker into his bag and unfortunately has to leave a fundraiser his family is hosting when another bank is being robbed. Oliver arrives at the bank to stop the gang but Derek is killed when saving his son from being shot by a guard. Meanwhile at the fundraiser Tommy is angry that Laurel is dancing with someone else but didn't realise that the person is only a client and even has to deal with a drunken Thea. Oliver broods over the death of Derek but Diggles says it wasn't his fault and then we get another Flashback where Oliver as gotten over suicide and has discovered the list of names in his father's book. The episode ends with Oliver realizing he can do more for the city than cross off names and reconnects with his mother after disappointing her earlier.
This was a good episode however since the last episode was just awesome with Deathstoke and his fight with Yao Fei that I kind of felt that this one winded down a bit. I especially found this true in the Flashback because it really wasn't too exciting since it was just Oliver alone in a cave. Since they are Flashbacks we the audience already know Oliver is not going to die in any of them, even if he gets seriously hurt. So what I am trying to say is that I found him contemplating suicide to be unnecessary because it isn't going to create tension but I guess its more of emotional than anything else. Plus I didn't like the appearance of Robert Queen as a hallucination because when they do this in films or TV, having a loved one come back as an hallucination to help them get over something, I just find it a quick and cheap way for the character to resolve their issues.
As for the Royal Flush Gang I like that they got an appearance in live action for once but even though they are comic book villains they felt like a one off gimmick. Despite that however I really like how they are portrayed here because you just feel a lot of sympathy for them, especially for the father Derek and that him and his family turning to the life of crime is another ill deed done by the Queen family that Oliver must try to right. I also like their masks as well and their bank robbing scenes where done really well, especially the opening even if that trick was already in V for Vendetta. I also liked that Oliver has finally realized he can do more than cross off names from the list because of the Royal Flush Gang so maybe the episodes now won't feel so episodic of him just going after a corrupt business man every episode.
As for everything else I like that character build up of Tommy and Laurel and how they may start an actual relationship because it gives their characters something more to do. Tommy is really starting to grow on me too because I think his character is definitely being developed more and mature for example I liked that story about how on a date with a woman he realized he already slept with her two years ago. Again I am getting kind of sick of Thea and her drunkenness around other characters because it is getting old and annoying fast. First she insults Oliver episode 1, then she makes it awkward between Oliver and Tommy and now she tries to hit on Tommy. I get what they are doing; she is a rich girl who struggled with her father and brother's death while dealing with the pressure of the family name and social life, but do I honestly care about it? No I do not.
Overall the Flashbacks where disappointing and Thea was annoying but I did like the Royal Flush Gang and the scenes with Tommy and Laurel, I think they had some great interactions with each other.

Revolution Season One: The Dark Tower
The Finale!
The episode begins with Miles and Monroe facing off against each other but are ambushed by Jenkins's men, they run for it but the two fall down a pipe that is part of the water main system while Nora is left behind. Randall, who escaped last episode, retrieves a keycard from behind the portrait of George W. Bush. Meanwhile Grace and Rachael talk about the risks of shutting down the Nanites and Rachael insists that they are replicating out of control. Jenkins has received word that Miles and Monroe are gone and informs Rachael and the rest that if they try to access level 12 then he will kill them all.
Outside of The Tower, Tom has successfully turned the soldiers in the camp to his side and even kills someone who refused to join him despite telling him he was free to go. Miles wakes up in a nearby wood and Monroe immediately attacks him but are stopped when a Militia solider fires on them and doesn't take orders from Monroe. Miles slips away in the confusion and we have a Flashback ten years after The Blackout and he and Monroe are celebrating his birthday but a bomb destroys the bar the where in, injuring them both. In The Tower Aaron is stunned to learn that his code is used for it's operating system and Grace says it wasn't by chance that Ben chose to befriend him. Back outside Tom orders C4 piled at the entrance to The Tower and actually wants to prevent the power turning back on at all costs. Jason is angry at this, and that his father has switched sides again, but agrees to help as long as Charlie and Rachael are kept alive.
Inside Rachael tries to appeal to Grace to let her continue with her plan but when she doesn't Charlie and Aaron chloroforms her and steals her keycard. We then have another Flashback shortly after the bombing and Miles is recovering with Nora at his side. Monroe informs him that they have not only killed the bomber but his entire family so that an example can be made. In The Tower Aaron believes that The Blackout was actually done on purpose, Nora then shows up to tell them Miles is gone she also tells Rachael that she admits Miles loves her and will chose her and that Rachael loves him too. Back outside Monroe and Miles continue their fight but Miles has had enough saying he has bigger problems, this angers Monroe who says this was all Miles fault in the first place. Miles admits that he tired to assassinate him because he was killing too many innocents but before anything else can be said one of Monroe's helicopters flies overhead, Miles escapes but Monroe is captured. Inside The Tower the group comes across Jenkins and his men however Nora has a plan.
Outside Monroe is brought before Tom who says he will take over the Republic, Monroe says that he will kill Tom and his family but Tom smiles and says that Monroe is just foolish and demented and leaves with Jason to lead the assault in The Tower. Inside The Tower Nora's bomb against Jenkins and his men worked however she is severely wounded in the process. Outside Miles frees Monroe and says that they are still brothers and sneaks back inside The Tower while Monroe escapes, inside Tom and his men come across Grace whom Tom recognizes. Elsewhere Rachael wants to go turn the power on but Charlie wants to save Nora first however Rachael says this comes first because it's for Danny. Charlie doesn't believe that saying that Danny is dead and begs her mother to chose her who is alive, Rachael doesn't and leaves with Aaron (f***ing b***h). Later Charlie and Nora are attacked by Militia but are saved by Miles, Nora then dies in Miles's arms.
On level 12 Rachael and Aaron are attacked by Tom, Jason and the Militia but when Miles and Charlie arrive they are able to get to the control room and lock themselves in. Aaron uses the computer and wonders if Grace was right but Rachael tells him to do it, Aaron then turns the power back on. All across the world power is slowly being restored; Julia sees a ceiling fan spinning again, Priscilla hears static over the radio, Foster sees all of the lights in Atlanta turn on again and Monroe, out in the open plains, sees an unusual lightning storm. In Atlanta a solider asks Foster what will they do now and she replies that they will throw everything they have at Philadelphia.
Back in The Tower the group hears a gunshot and sees that Randall has locked himself in to the missile control room and has launched nuclear missiles at Atlanta and Philadelphia. Rachael asks why he is doing this and Randall says his plan was to join Monroe and eventually have the Republic and Federation destroy each other but thanks Rachael and says it is all because of her he can do it himself with missiles. Miles tires to shoot the glass but it is bullet proof, Randall then walks up to the glass and says "I am a Patriot" before shooting himself in the head.
With Randall dead the group watches in horror as nuclear missiles are heading towards the two cities. The episode ends with an unseen man turning a lamp on and off and another man says that Randall has finally succeeded and that it is time to go home; "Mr President". It is revealed that there is a United States of America Colony in Guantanamo Bay Cuba and they have been waiting for Randall to finish his mission and return.
Now that is what I call a finale! Full of action, suspense and twits you did not expect, lets go over them all right now! Firstly I think the final confrontation between Miles and Monroe was done really well because even though they where interrupted in The Tower they had some pretty brutal punch ups on the outside. I am really glad that Miles just can never bring himself to kill Monroe because after they have been trying to kill each other for most of the series Miles still cares about him as a brother with how he helped him escape at the end. I guess we'll see if Miles may regret that decision or if Monroe may owe him one.
As for Tom I am just really glad to see that if managed to overthrow the Republic even if it is late in the series. I really think he could have made a good leader because he does treat his men a lot better than Monroe, like near the beginning when he mercy killed a wounded Militia and buried him. I can also completely understand him wanting to keep the power off because this is a world that he excels at while before he was insignificant. He had some great scenes in The Tower where he tries to stop Rachael and Aaron but its a shame he never used Grace for anything when he ran into her.
Something I admit I didn't like, even though it was sad and tragic to see, was the death of Nora. Mainly because it kind of came completely out of nowhere and, I am not saying this because I hate her, but Rachael should have died and I actually thought it might have happened before watching this. I think Rachael's death would have had more of an impact because imagine she went through all of this journey and after everything she has done, she manages to succeed but dies before she see what becomes of it. Nora just really didn't deserve it because she's just been a great character all throughout the series while Rachael is a back - stabbing, traitorous, murderer of innocence, whore! Those who even like Rachael have got to admit that she did a really rotten thing of ignoring Charlie's pleas and not helping Nora who has done more for Charlie than her own mother? It also shows that I think Rachael doesn't care that much for Charlie because everything she says she does is for Danny and she always has no problems leaving her, but at this point I don't think she is even doing it for Danny she is just doing it because its what she thinks is right.
Now I want to talk about one of the best scenes not just in this episode but in the whole series and that is when the power was coming back on. Really love that scene; when it changes to the other characters and their expressions when they see power for the first time in fifteen years and that brilliant music that was playing during it. One of the best scenes I have seen, it was just done really well and the build up leading to it was great as well with Aaron struggling with the decision and taking his time to press the button.
Lastly is Randall's plan revealed and I have to say that it was a really smart plan; letting them turn on the power so he can use missiles. In the end Rachael lost and Randall won because millions of people are now dead because of her stubbornness of allowing him carry out his plan. It is a real shame that he killed himself though but since he was obviously working for the President and I guess his mission was "complete". It also raises more questions than answers because why would the President go to such extreme measures to destroy the Republic and the Federation? and where they the ones who caused The Blackout in the first place?
Overall this was an awesome finale and a great set up for the events of season two. I have said it before but Revolution sure has come along way if you have watched the whole season from start to finish. Charlie simply set out on a mission to rescue her brother but it became something a lot bigger with conspiracies, scientists hiding secrets, all out war between two Nations and basically changing the fate of the whole world. That's why I really love this series, it has really evolved over time, surprised us with many reveals and didn't just stick with the same thing and I hope everyone realizes what an amazing series this truly is. This finale was one of the best episodes and a great way to finish season one.

I have finally reviewed every episode of Revolution Season One!!! I really have enjoyed, I know I am not the best reviewer in the world but I hope you have enjoyed it too. Like I have mentioned before I am not reviewing season two straight away because I want to review other shows. I do really like season two but I'll say it now that it wasn't as good as this season and since there will be no season three (DAMN!!!) there is no rush to review the episodes but I will get round to it probably early next year.
