Smallville SERIES FINALE review

This is it!The series finale, an event of 10 years in making comes to an end.Fans should just lay back on the sofa because even there were lowpoints in the episode, everyone got what wanted( at some point):Superman. Tom Welling  put on the suit and saved the day from Darkseid and the coming Apocalypse(and Apokolips, the big bad planet heading toward Earth planning on destroying it.)But that wasn't just all, Michael Rosenbaum returned for one last time to bring back the only true evil and villain without whom Superman wouldn't be Superman : Lex Luthor!In flesh and blood.Turned out Lex used those organic parts from clones which had usefulness and  "combined" them to heal himself but one last thing was missing, a heart.Lionel from Earth-2 decided to help his son(from another mothe---- universe) by cutting Tess Mercer's heart out and putting in Lex's body.You got to see the irony in that.Tess of course is a kick ass girl and managed to escape and mortaly wound Lionel who even in his last breath tried to save his son.Darkseid appeared and cut out Lionel's heart and healed Lex than took over Lionel's body and began using him as his vessel on his mission to kill the bringer of the Light, Kal El , Clark Kent.

The highlight of the episode was of course(besides the flying and super-suit)the many guest characters, most notably John Schneider aka Johnathan Kent who whenever speaks, wisdom comes out from his mouth and this time was no different.The wedding of Lois and Clark was back on even after Lois had a cold feet but the party was crashed by a darkness-fully-taken-over Oliver who tried to give Clark a ring with golden kryptonite but Chloe managed to save the day(and Earth also, who knows what would've happened if Clark would've put on that ring.) and after a fierce fight, Oliver was back on track and defeated the unholy trinity of Darkseid. Now only thing they needed was to somehow make the big vulcanic planet above them gone and Darkseid defeated and Clark while preparing for his ultime battle has a nice family reunion with his mother, Martha Kent and the ghost of his father,Jonathan Kent.Of course Lex is was now back and the two faced off at the ruins of the Luthor Mansion.Lex admitted that besides he considers Clark his greates enemy, he believes in him that he can save mankind from it's demise and apocalypse.Clark now went to the barn of his house only to be confronted by a Lionel who is now the vessel of Lord Darkseid.Clark during the battle learns how to fly as he realises that he had the power all along in him only that the past was holding him back and defeated Darksied.Have to say I was a bit dissapointed as I expected a bigger fight, but it was enjoyable either way. Clark went to the fortress and put on the suit and saved Lois who meanwhile was on Air Force One to tell the President about the danger they are facing.The plane was to crash but Clark now Superman saved them and pushed the Apokolips planet out from Earth's orbit.The day was saved.

Of course we still have Lex Luthor who know took over LuthorCorp and renamed it LexCorp than finally killed Tess saying that he is saving her by killing her because than she wouldn't become like him. This is what I like about Lex, he always thinks he is doing the right thing and maybe that's one of the many factors that make his character the most epic and also sympathic villain in the show.But dear old sis had one last chance at redemption and took it by poisoning Lex with an organic black liquid which was in development for years and reveals that this will erease Lex's memory up to that very point.As she lays dying a memory-less Lex realises that he has no idea what is happening around him and looks out to from the window totally confused.

We flash forward to year 2018 where all of our characters have nicely evolved.Clark Kent is the mild-mannered riporter secretly asking Lois to marry him and being Superman when people need him, Lois Lane is a top riporter at the Daily Planet, Chloe is a mother and she is married with Oliver and Lex Luthor is elected as the President of the USA.
The last shot of the show needs no words.It's perfect.Check it out and you'll know what I'm talking about ;)

Supernatural 6x20 The Man Who Would Be King Review

Okay, it's not a secret that I dislike(d) season six but this one...well this episode was extraordinary, it felt like Supernatural for me once again.I followed the show when season four started and after watching it I checked out seasons 1-3 and I absolutely loved it especially season four and five but when season six premiered last september I felt like that something was missing, that something was gone from the show and it didn't felt like it was the show that once I loved.Maybe because Eric Kripke told that he originaly planned the show to last five seasons and they didn't had much time to develope proprely the sixth season and as they went on they came up with interesting ideas, because from where I am, that's what is happening.The start was more than disappointing to me but I didn't give up(although they were times when I asked myself why am  I still watching it?!) and  I'm glad I sticked because recently it started to feel fresh and new again and considering the fact that it was picked up for a seventh season, I believe the writers now know for sure and 100 %  where to go forward with the story.

Talking about story, I'm glad Crowley is back and he wasn't dead.At first I highly disliked his character but now it is considered as a mastermind villain for the Winchester brothers and Castiel is also much more interesting than ever before.Being on his own, a "Superman gone darkside" as Dean stated, we get the whole story on him from the start til' the end.The episode was narrated by Castiel who is sitting in Heaven waiting for God to give him a sign of weather is he on the right path or not.Of course for whatever he is waiting for, it's simply not coming.God may be gone or refuses to respond on Cas' prays.In one word, Cas is lost.Alone. Flashes from season five and few from season four are also present.Ahh, good ol' times.The theme is rivalry and redemption.Rafael is still much more powerful than Castiel and wants him to join his crusade of angels who want to free Michael and Lucifer from the cage so the apocalypse can go on and happen what was written of course our dear old Cas has other visions of the future and plans on stoping Rafael's madness once and for all and this is where Crowley comes into the picture, he offers help Castiel's if he will help him find purgatory and geather souls for an army.Cas agrees and fakes Crowley's death so the Winchesters would be off his trail for good and they can work together again.After stoping the Mother of All, Eve , the Winchester go solo on fiding Crowley and they "outsmoke" Castiel and trap him to confess which he does but with this he looses the friendship of the Winchesters forever.Being again alone he understands that he really is a "superman gone darkside" and the "kryptonite" is in the Winchesters hand.Looooved the bunch of Superman references, this may be a reference for Smallville ending which is kinda cool from the writers.

So Heaven or Hell,Angels or Devils, Castiel is now a tragic hero who only wanted what he thought is best but failed and lost everything, so now it might be a good time for him to proove Sam,Dean and Bobby's that he really is their friend and set things right.
Of course question must be answered because there are a lot of them still and two weeks from now the 2-hour season finale airs.I personally would love to see a fight between Sam,Dean,Castiel and maybe even Balthazar going up against Crowley and an army of demons and even Sam's block on his soul would fade away could give us a suspense finale.The season might have been mostly down for me this past year but if they get the finale right than all is forgiven and we can go back to the way things were and wait season seven with great anticapation.

Fringe 3x22 The Day We Died Review

And so season three came to a conclusion which was a brilliant season with a bit slow ending.The third part of a three episode arc finale showed us a grim future,a man's suffering and a possible solution to save two worlds. The finale picks up where the last episode left, 15 years in the future, more precisely in May 20th, 2026.The world is heading toward the unstopable doomsday and there might be only a tiny hope to save the world after the parallel universe was destroyed.

Joshua Jackson did a brilliant job portraying a heartbroken and lost Peter who killed billions, lost the love of his life and besides the guilt the only thing - or better said man - he can rely on is Walter Bishop who was sentenced to life for starting all this back in 1985.John Noble does an extremely good impression playing two enterily different characters., the heart warming and kind Walter who was released from prison to crack a new technology and help Peter fix the past and the evil mastermind Walternate who before their universe was destroyed, crossed over to get revenge.He hired a terrorist group to rip holes in the fabric of the universe plus murders Olivia with cold blood.

Anna Torv didn't have that much screen time as she used to but that might be a good thing considering the theme of the episode as it revolved around Walternate-Peter-Walter.Broyles also had a wierdo eye -thing which was kinda reminescent to Nick Fury from the Ultimate Marvel Comics.(Talkin' about comic book references huh?This is a plus for the show :D).Of course the recurring theme for the episode was "revenge" and this was the exact thing that showed us viewers whats the real differences between the two Walters.

Walter  realises what he has to do to right the wrongs and through a wormhole, sends the doomsday device parts back to the past a few thousand years(indicating that HE was the one from the future who sent the parts to the PAST which they've found in the PRESENT. Looooove when things get this complicated xD ). Peter than also returns to the PRESENT but with the memories from the FUTURE so he can tell them that he's seen doomsday and in order to prevent it the two sides must work together to save both worlds but before he could finish his sentence,he disappears and Walter and Walternate   and  Olivia and Bolivia form a wierd kind of partnership to prevent the destruction of either worlds.

Outside the Liberty Statue in our universe, the Observer are standing and we learn that Peter "served his purposse" and he never existed from now on, in one world he might have been wiped from history indicating that he may have died as our Peter too, thanks to his illnes.
Now sure many people began speculating that if Peter never existed than Walter wouldn't have crossed over and this whole things would've began in the first place, but I assure them they're wrong, even if Peter still have died in both universes, Walter and Bell would've found a way to cross over because they're scientest, curiosity is THEIR thing.So overall it was an exciting and interesting episode but not as mind blowing at action scene department as I've expected.

Smallville 10x20 Prophecy Review

The pen-ultimate episode of Smallville delivered everything that the series needs before takes flight off from the screen for good.The episode saw the return of Winslow Schott aka Toyman,Granny Goodness and many other who were just featured as cameo but still made the episode interesting like Metallo,Roulette,Dark Archer and even new ones like Grundy,Black Manta and Captain Gold and of course let's not forget Kara Kent portrayed by the beautiful Laura Vandervoort who returned for one last time to the show for a mission to stop Darkseid and she teams up with Oliver Queen for the first time.

The two heroes were undeniable more than just awesome.They worked together to retire the Bow of Orion which is the only weakness Darkseid has but this could be acomplished only if the Light and Dark were in balance and Kara was pure so she had the light in her and due the un-balance she was trapped although Oliver arrived for the Bow too on his own and helped Kara out.Due the corruption, Oliver was infected by the darkness so the balance was maintined and the two opened the portal which led them to the ultimate weapon.Kara in the last minute was summoned by Jor-El so she had to leave, leaving Oliver on his own to get the item, of course this is Smallville, nothing goes smooth and Granny Goodness followed him and finally desrtoyed the weapon than made Oliver Darkseid's minion and ordered him to find Gold Kryptonite which would take away Clark's powers leaving him weakened and open to the darkness' corruption.

Meanwhile, Clark took Lois to the Fortress and showed his father, Jor-El, his desire to start a new life alongside Lois to which daddy responded and gave Lois Clark's ability for a day so she can see what is like to be Clark but this also had an unexpected side effect.Clark was powerless. Being the hero of the day, Lois quickly adjusted and stopped a robbery which was proven to be staged because the burglar was actually a mind controled Courtney Whitmore who was the marionette of Winslow Schott also knows as The Toyman. Lois tracked down the madman only to be controled too and she was sent to kill the Blur although unsuccesful because after sunset, Clark's powers returned and went to face Toyman and finally told him that he is not afraid of him because he knows he(toyman) won't tell the world his secret because than there wouldn't be any other games to play and before leaving he added that no matter what they'll do with his team of villains, he'll always be there to stop them.

After all the madness, Clark went to the Fortress one last time and told Jor-El that he is ready to become the hero he was meant to be and his trials are finally over than said goodbye to Jor-El and shut down the whole Fortress leaving it darkened whith the super suit still frozen.
Kara put on the Legion ring and went to the future so Clark could fight the ultimate villain on his own and embrace his true destiny as Superman,but things went extremely wrong as Lois canceled the wedding and told Clark she won't marry him because she might be his greatness weakness and being with her while he could be saving people would be just selfish which leaves Clark heartbroken.
The episode was overall very well pened ,sure there weren't a lot of fight sequences because it was an emotional episode, just what we need before the 2-hour series finale.

The Vampire Diaries 2x21 The Sun Also Rises Review

The Sacrifice ritual comes to a heartbraking but also horrifying conclusion and more than one character dies. Last week's episode ended on a high note and this week's does the same as well and I can easely say that this episode could've been season finale as well because it lived up to the overall expectations and was packed with everything a casual or hardcore fan of TVD would wait and the season finale is one week away so if this episode was just a set up for next week's ep than the writers are having a very nice ace up in their sleeves.
There were many recurring themes throughout the episode among which is death.Death is a natural part of life but not in TVD.Aunt Jenna, Uncle John, Jules and in some form even Elena dies.Klaus set everything in motion and begins killing first the werewolf Jules than even Elena's aunt, Jenna for the ritual.Stefan offers himself in exchange for Jenna but Klaus has other plans for him and ultimately kills even Elena as he drinks from her until she dies.Of course Boonie,John,Alaric and Jeremy had a back up plan to prevent Elena to come back from the death as a vampire and John "sacrifices" himself to give Elena back her soul.This was a bit of lame from my opinion but the way John died was sad, even for him, while the rest of the group was mourning Elena, he walked out from the mansion and waited his death as he fell to the ground dead.
The other theme was redemption. Damon realised that no matter what, the werewolf bite is fatal and he is hoping for Elena's forgivness before he dies so the season finale will be Damon centered than which is good, because people love Damon.Who doesnt?And even though writers can do some really extreme WTF moments, I really doubt they will kill Damon off, I mean c'mon he is a core character but really looking forward to see how will they cure him.Maybe some whitch magic mambo jumbo which will save him but turn him human?C'mon how cool would THAT be?

Elijah's betrayal was a bit disappointing, we were given an explanation why would he kill his own brother, Klaus but switching sides this fast, turning back on his honor and saving the mad sonofabitch was really wierd but at the same time really cool.Another major WTF moment and sets up the next season, season three which is promised to be a season of The Originals.
Matt-Caroline-Tyler triangle is still interesting.Everytime I'm watching these three I can't help it but think that one day a sparkle will blow and the two alpha male will just jump to each other's throat and beat up themselves. Caroline finally realised that Matt knew all the time about her true nature and that her mother is trying to kill her because she hates vampires so Matt leaves too saying that he can't come to the terms that she's a vampire and he wants a normals life while Tyler on the other hand understands her perfectly and would  happily be with her.
Overall it was an outstanding episode.An episode I *really* waited from such a mindblowing show that TVD is.
