My Thoughts
Note: This review contains spoilers
“Damn Clay. You’re getting savage.”
The drama isa bit slow but the high school drama feels so real. I don’t particularly find this episode as savage as the next, but Clay is not sitting back anymore. Unfortunately, neither are the four subjects of the first two tapes. Clay gets back at Tyler for stalking Hannah… I applaud the shy and quiet boy for taking a stand but when you’re practically “alone against the world,” what can you do?
Not only is Clay trying to get justice for someone he cares about but it feels like the other cassette subjects won’t let Clay do as he pleases. Which brings us to the question(s), “Which tape has Clay in it?” or “What does Hannah say about Clay that makes the others so nervous?”
AMC's Fear the Walking Dead returns at sea, aboard the Abigail. The group is unaware of the true breadth of the apocalypse; they assume there still a chance that some city, state, or nation might be unaffected, some place where infection has not hit. Abandoning land, Madison, Travis and Daniel gather their grieving families for ports unknown. But the respite of Strand's ocean-side home is short-lived. They will discover that the water may be no safer than land.

This episode delved into Victor Strand's life. We got a glimpse of who he was before this zombie apocalypse started. Apparently, Strand sent Nick out on an errand...no wonder why Nick went out for an evening swim...haha! Nick definitely knows how to survive...he did, after all, live on the streets for a time to support his addiction. But now, it seems that Nick has turned around and took on a major role in helping the group. He is one smart cookie. He did figure out how to camouflage himself from the dead...and use that knowledge to his advantage.
Welll, no wonder Strand is so determined to get to Mexico. Plus, we find out now that Strand had a very good reason for his strong distrust of people, especially now. So...that's why the yacht is named "Abigail"! And Strand's life is revealed...well, a bit of it anyways. With all these flashbacks, we got a better idea of who he is....sort of.
The group come across some people in "distress" and allows them to board the yacht. But, they are not who they seemed to be. However, Alicia recognizes one of the voices. Well, Alicia is learning that you can't believe anything and anyone. Alicia realizes that she did this...She led those people to them. Now, their safety and survival has been compromised. Strand then escapes the captors on the raft; however, they see him and shoot at him. The raft takes a hit, but was Strand hit? They assume that he's dead and bring their attention back to their captives.
Nick finds what, or rather who, Strand sent him to find... Luis, an old associate of Strand. Nick learns a bit more about Strand through Luis. He explains to Nick that he has secured passage to Mexico for only two people. However, passage for two is not in the plans. Strand must have known this. He must have worked something out...right!?! Who has he been speaking to on the satellite phone?
Nick and Luis makes their way to the Abigail. But then, Nick notices other people on boat. Good thing Luis is a good shot. However, they may have taken care of those left behind, but Connor and his associates take Travis and Alicia... Why? We don't know...yet. This Connor person has some kind of purpose for them.
They take back the boat, then Madison goes after Strand since Luis said that no one is going to Mexico without Strand.
Damien's secret is out, making him the target of several conspiracies. Detective Shay (David Meunier) interrogates Damien, but Ann Rutledge (Barbara Hershey), a mysterious benefactor, intercedes.
~~~~~ *My Thoughts*
No, Hershel (actor Scott Wilson, The Walking Dead) cut off his ponytail! Continuing with Damien, religious and supernatural occurrences appear in Damien’s life and those who are becoming involved, not only death but miraculous fetuses from drains, demonic apparitions, and blood dripping from symbolic orifices. The show lifts off the ground. Is Damien going to accept the Antichrist title or use it whenever it seems convenient?
This episode starts while Simone (Megalyn E.K.) is in the bathtub only to find a chicken fetus in her drain. Her part is still unknown but if Kelly (Tiffany Hines) had never met Damien, she would have had a peaceful life but people who mess with Damien never have a happy ending. Which brings us to Detective Shay (David Meunier); he hasn’t pinned any religious affiliations to Damien quite yet but from all of the unlucky events happening in his life, will he at least talk to a priest.
Detective Shay holds great animosity for Damien and only considers him to be another delinquent, asshole that he can put behind bars. Although he seems to be atheist, Damien calls Detective Shay’s bluffs and hints to embracing the supernatural protection he is given. It’s not that he wants people to continuously die, it’s for their safety; “Stay away from me.” Damien is put under stress by Detective Shay and is held at the police station for a man killing himself after seeing Damien. Damien trying to stop him is meaningless and is labeled the assailant. He really is a selfless, heroic person but was unfortunately born as the wrong… thing.
Ann Rutledge (Barbara Hershey) continues to be creepy and it doesn’t seem like she is simply an Antichrist follower but an obsessed woman, aiming to sleep her way to the apocalyptic top. Her interactions with Detective Shay teeter this thought and places even more pressure on Damien as a “troubled man since childhood.” Does Damien have anyone else to blame but himself? In the events of Troy Hendrie’s (Bruno Verdoni) death, I would say Ann wanted him dead not for Damien’s safety, and therefore could be strike for her. But should he try killing himself?
It doesn’t look like Detective Shay, Simone, or Ann are going to leave him alone and even more innocents will get caught in the demonic crossfire. On the upside, his co-worker and best friend, Amani Golkar (Amid Abtahi) might survive this. He only seems to want what’s best for Damien without the religious voodoo; trying to get him a high paying job, feeling grateful for their first meeting, and seeing Damien as an overall good person.
Lucifer is the story of the original fallen angel. Bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, Lucifer Morningstar has resigned his throne and retired to the City of Angels, where he owns an upscale piano bar called Lux. When a beautiful pop star is murdered, for the first time in roughly 10 billion years, he feels something awaken deep within him. Is he actually capable of feelings for a human being? The very thought disturbs him. The murder attracts the attention of LAPD homicide detective Chloe Dancer, who finds herself both repulsed and fascinated by Lucifer. At the same time, God's emissary, the angel Amenadiel, has been sent to Los Angeles to convince Lucifer to return to Hell. But with the City of Angels at his feet and a newfound purpose, Lucifer's having too much fun to go back now.
In an effort to get over his infatuation with Chloe, Lucifer decides that he must seduce her. Meanwhile the two team up on a missing girl case and Amenadiel confronts Maze about his concerns about Lucifer.
~~~~~
*My Thoughts*
Well, there's no doubt Lucifer is changing...he seems to be more human the longer he stays in L.A. and with humans. Hmmm...for being the Devil, he seems to be exhibiting more human traits than a Fallen Angel. For sure, Lucifer is not immune to human emotions since he seems to be stumped by the detective's resistance to his charms. What's fascinating is Amenadiel's reaction after Maze licked his face. Hmmm...Lucifer isn't the only one vulnerable to temptation.
It's really funny how Lucifer has a child-like attitude with his experiences in L.A. For being the Devil, Lucifer is extremely curious about human emotions and the things they do. However, there are instances when the Devil shows himself.
Lucifer seems to be more human than he realizes. C'mon! He's going to theray...haha! I am definitely fascinated with this side of Lucifer. This series is showing a more human side to this Fallen Angel who is supposed to be ruling Hell, but instead, he is on vacation...or is he retired!?! He's having fun with his fascination...is it a phase? Or will he enjoy it so much that he forgets he he really is. Looks like Amenadiel has his concerns about it, but how about Maze? Should they both be concerned?
For now, we are beginning to see the consequences of Lucifer leaving Hell. He's becoming more human. But...I would like to see the supernatural consequences of Lucifer's absence in Hell. Amenadiel did mention that to Lucifer...but, when will we see it?!?
For now, here's a preview of Episode 5 - "Sweet Kicks"
Supergirl is an action-adventure drama based on the DC Comics character Kara Zor-El, Superman's (Kal-El) cousin who, after 12 years of keeping her powers a secret on Earth, decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities, and be the hero she was always meant to be.
Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton with her parents' help at the same time as the infant Kal-El. Protected and raised on Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex, and learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her identity a secret.
Years later at 24, Kara lives in National City assisting media mogul and fierce taskmaster Cat Grant. She works alongside her friend and IT technician Winn Schott and famous photgrapher James Olsen, who Grant just hired away from the Daily Planet to serve as her new art director. However, Kara's days of keeping her talents a secret are over when Hank Henshaw, head of a super-secret ageny where her sister also works, enlists her to help them protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats. Though Kara will need to find a way to manage her newfound empowerment with her very human relationships, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime.

My Thoughts
Note: This review contains NO spoilers
What a mind bend! Someone is watching Supergirl! The question is... "who?" Hmmm... With the influx of villains for Supergirl to tackle, we have learned that these villains could either be alien and/or human. But, boy, does Kara have a lot on her "plate"...haha! Although Kara has established herself as to being Supergirl, she feel that she has to take on "everything." However, the people in her life tell her otherwise. Yup, Kara is still learning as she "comes" into her own as a superhero and as Kara Danvers...Cat's assistant.
As more bomb threats appear, Supergirl finds herself "spread out too thin." She learns that she can't do everything or save everyone. In the end, Kara learns that Supergirl needs help from time to time. However, Supergirl has to determine which danger to tackle first and hand off to those who can help, such as the DEO.
On the other side, Kara's feelings for James keeps growing...It's also apparent that James does have some feelings developing for Kara as well. But, Lucy Lane (Jenna Dewan Tatum) is still in town trying to win James back. With all the dangers appearing, will James and Lucy's romance be rekindled!?! Well, how cliché would that be...haha! But, it worked, especially when it comes to matters of the heart.
Supergirl figures out who is behind these bombings...another villain, maybe!?! Hmmm...why?
The casting for this show is great! Love how Calista Flockhart and Peter Facinelli portrays their characters...on top of the rest of the cast. The casting for these characters is perfect! The show is compelling, yet funny; dramatic, yet light-hearted. It is definitely a family show that is worth watching.
'Til the next episode!
Well, for now, let's get a sneak peek at Episode 6 - "Red Faced"
Based on the wildly popular comic book series Hellblazer from DC Comics, seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult John Constantine (Matt Ryan, "Criminal Minds") is armed with a ferocious knowledge of the dark arts and a wickedly naughty wit. He fights the good fight - or at least he did. With his soul already damned to hell, he's decided to abandon his campaign against evil until a series of events thrusts him back into the fray, and he'll do whatever it takes to protect the innocent. With the balance of good and evil on the line, Constantine will use his skills to travel the country, find the supernatural terrors that threaten our world and send them back where they belong. After that, who knows... maybe there's hope for him and his soul after all.
The cast also includes Harold Perrineau (Lost) as Manny and Charles Halford (True Detective) as Chas.Writer Daniel Cerone (The Mentalist, Dexter) serves as executive producer with David S. Goyer (Man of Steel, The Dark Knight Rises). Constantine is produced from Bonanza Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. The show is based upon characters published by DC Entertainment.
Well, the suspense/horror element is very much prominent in each episode I have watched so far. In this fourth episode, we are introduced to one of many of John's "friends," Gary Lester (Jonjo O'Neill), who was part of the Newcastle crew. Staying with the theme of the "rising darkness", John sets out to help his friend recapture a demon that was inadvertently unleashed. Moreover, I enjoyed that mystical element when John approached another friend to find out what kind of demon he was dealing with, to find out how to defeat it.
I really loved how this episode had "heart." Even with John's hard exterior he shows everyone, he does have a heart and conscience, This was evident since the start of the series in regards to what happened in Newcastle and Astrid. Apparently, each episode has implied John's struggle in dealing with what happened in Newcastle. I guess, in a way, it reminds the audience that he, too, carries a burden that he hurts from. In this episode, A Feast of Friends, we are reminded of the reason why John insists on working alone. He does care! He knows and his friends know what evil they are dealing with...and they know sacrifices are always made, as we have seen in this episode.
This episode brought tears to my eyes. Underneath that hard, gruff, and sarcastic exterior, John has a heart that he keeps hidden. Even to the end, John never leaves Gary's side. Again, John is burdened with the sacrifices his friends make for him in this dark underworld of the supernatural. And...I'm loving it!
Constantine continues to bring on the suspense, horror, mystery, and mysticism of the supernatural/paranormal to the small screen that keeps it interesting. It is apparent that each episode is connected in one way or another. We are definitely getting to know more and more about John Constantine, his past, present, and future! Not only that...we got to see more of what Zed's gift is. Again, the introductions to these characters continue...alongside with the "cases" John has to investigate. I am still curious as to who and what Chas and Zed's parts are in this series. I am definitely intrigued with these characters, and would like to know more about them and their connection with John.
This is definitely a TV series that is a must see!
