House Of The Dragon "Salt And Sea, Fire And Blood" SPOILER FILLED Review

Finally after two long years of waiting the show that brought good will back to Game Of Thrones and then lost a good deal of it with it's season  2 finale is now back for season 3. This is a show that I and many others have been eagerly awaiting for and despite the fact that the season 2 finale was a bad episode just based off of this episode alone there does look to be some small promise still left in the show and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the episode that gives us a different theme song for the first time in years with the episode in question being called simply just "Salt And Sea, Fire And Blood" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is war comes ever closer to Westeros and Corlys Velaryon and his men run into trouble in the sea one which results in a deadly confrontation. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. To put it bluntly this episodes plot is alot more better then the plot of the previous which for better or for worse could be seen as being both a good and bad thing it's a bad thing in that this episode plot does feel alot more like the plot of a series finale and not a series premiere as the episode doesn't really set up any plot lines for the forth coming season of the show. Yet it's also a good thing as it does mean that the season gets the chance to start out with a bang and give us a rally good plot that will have people talking for the next week or so be it for good or bad reasons which is something with the episodes plot even doing something that alot of first episodes have forgotten to do and that's make you want to watch the next episode as the plot of this episode does have alot of promise and it does give you all of the things that you want to see in the first episode for a Game Of Thrones show but at the same time tho it was hard to work out just what the plot of this episode was meant to be alot of the time as the episode doesn't really focus on its main plot with them instead focusing on other things which is something that does make the plot of this episode feel alot more like an after thought when it should have been something that was the only thought but to be fair tho this is the more stronger plot that the makers of this episode could have had to start out on with the plot of this episode being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this episode is Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen and Emma D'Arcy as Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen. Also starring in this episode is Olivia Cooke as Queen Alicent Hightower , James Norton as Lord Ormund Hightower , Steve Toussaint as Lord Corlys Velaryon , Fabien Frankel as Ser Criston Cole , Matthew Needham as Lord Larys Strong , Sonoya Mizuno as Mysaria , Tom Glynn-Carney as King Aegon II Targaryen , Ewan Mitchell as Prince Aemond Targaryen , Harry Collett as Prince Jacaerys Velaryon , Phia Saban as Queen Helaena Targaryen , Bethany Antonia as Lady Baela Targaryen , Jefferson Hall as Ser Tyland Lannister , Abubakar Salim as Alyn Of Hull , Clinton Liberty as Addam Of Hull , Phoebe Campbell as Lady Rhaena Targaryen , Kurt Egyiawan as Grand Maester Orwyle , Freddie Fox as Ser Gwayne Hightower , Gayle Rankin as Alys Rivers , Kieran Bew as Hugh , Tom Bennett as Ulf , Joplin Sibtain as Ser Jon Roxton , Paul Kennedy as Lord Jasper Wylde , Max Wrottesley as Ser Lorent Marbrand , Phil Daniels as Maester Gerardys , Nicholas Jones as Lord Bartimos Celtigar , Tommy Flanagan as Lord Roderick Dustin , Abigail Thorn as Admiral Sharako Lohar , Archie Barnes as Lord Oscar Tully , Ben Dilloway as Ser Soren , Vincent Regan as Ser Rickard Thorne and Annie Shapero as Alysanne Blackwood.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. This is something that really isn't all that surprising as the acting in tis show has always been top notch even in the shows more weaker episodes with the acting in this episode following suit by being really good as all of the episodes actors do bring there A game even those that are only in this episode do bring some really good performances to the episode which is something that does help to make this episode all the more better because of it. With the best actor in this episode is Phoebe Campbell as Lady Rhaena Targaryen as she does get alot to do in this episode and wile alot of her stuff is mainly in quick scenes when she does appear in the episode she does leave a lasting impact on you long after her scenes have finished and while it would have been super easy to say that someone like Matt Smith is the best actor in the episode it has to be Phoebe Campbell due to the fact that we do get to spend alot of time with her which is something that does give somewhat of a chance to show off just what it is that she can do as an actor with her going from scared to joyful and back to scared again all throughout the episode with this being something that does not only help her performance in the episode but it also shines through in her performance. With the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will com out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the CGIA for this episode is PixStone Images , Pixomondo , Outpost VFX , RVX , Red Visual Effects , Rodeo FX , The Third Floor London and Viridian FX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Again much like the episodes acting the fact that this episode does have some really good CGI in it isn't something that's all the surprising for the fact that this show has always had some really good looking CGI in it. While tho the dragons in the episode do look good there are scenes where the characters do seem to be fully replaced by a digital double and they do stand out a mile as they do look really bad with the makers of this episode not really giving the effects teams enough time to create convincing looking digital doubles of course tho this is something that could be proven to be false but as the the behind the scenes featurettes haven't been released in full yet and won't be until the DVD and Blu-Ray of this season comes out, there are also times where the episode does go fully animated when it really didn't need to with those effects again not looking bad but they also aren't that good either but hen this episode does create some really good looking effects like all of the scenes at sea for example then we do get something that does look really good but it's those smaller thins that do hold the episodes effects back as it does appear as if the makers of this episode put alot of focus on the more bigger an important scenes that the smaller scenes do end up falling through the cracks.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In what was a really shocking move we actually get quite alot of character deaths in this opening episode with Lord Jason Lannister , Admiral Sharako Lohar , Vermax and Prince Jacaerys Velaryon all dying in the episode. This was something that will catch alot of people off guard as you don' usually expect character deaths in the first episode of a new season rather they are something that you expect to happen nearer the end of the season as that's when they will have the most impact and while there is nothing wrong with having them here in the first episode it does mean that for example Sharako can't leave that much of an impact as she was only introduced in the previous episode with her dying in this episode before she has the chance to do anything that's really actually important to the main plot of the show. However tho all of the deaths in this episode are really well done with them all taking place during this big sea battle over the course of the middle to the end of the episode with all of them getting killed of in really fun and gory ways which is something that is oddly befitting for this show and while more time with Sharako would have been nice as she did seem like a fun and cool character having her be killed of with some the more established characters in the show does now make us the audience wonder which one of the main characters can now die as while Jacaerys and Jason aren't main characters by any stretch of the imagination they are close enough to being main characters that them dying does make you go that any of the main characters can now die with Jacaerys having a pretty cool death as after his dragon is shot out of the sky with him on it he crash lands in the sea and has to struggle to get himself free from Vermax and yet when he does and he does reach the surface he gets shot several times in several parts of the body with arrows which was a really shocking way to end the episode.

In what was a shocking move this episode does introduce a new version of the Game Of Thrones theme song. With this new version still being as good as the original one was but it now sounds oddly more classical with a slight rock twist to it which is something that would have been fine if this was a new show as then it would help to set the show apart from Game Of Thrones but is this the shows third season and it's ending next season therefor changing the theme song now even if it is just a new recording of it doesn't make all that much sense but to it's credit tho it does go well with the seasons new intro which now does keep alot of themes from last seasons intro but it's now been made alot more darker with alot more bloodier images added to it. In what might be another shocking turn of events Daemon doesn't actually get to do all that much in this episode with him feeling more like a side character even tho Matt Smith is quite literally the first actor listed at the start of the episode with him really only appearing in the one scene very early on in the episode where he finds some new recruits in the form of Stark soldiers to help him and Rhaenyra win the war and that's really it and that is something that des seem like a waste for his character as his character is at it's best when he's there with Rhaenyra and not off on his own doing his own thing as we know just how powerful of a fighter that he is but what we want to see from him is what it is that makes him tick and we want to see more scenes of him trying to outwit his opponent by talking to them and not sticking them with the pointy end as that is something that would get old rather quickly and while this is only the first episode of the season and while he is acting on his orders from the previous episode we should be seeing more of Daemon and not less of him given what this show is building towards in season 4 as now is the time that the makers of this show should be getting us to really like all of the characters even the ones that are the bad guys as then when we do reach that final episode of next season it will be all the more impactful.

To the episodes credit we do get to see that Alicent is actually scared of her son as we see her planning to give Rhaenyra the throne and when that doesn't go the way she planned we see her looking afraid of Aemond Targaryen as even she knows that he is close to going to insane. This was such a good thig to have in the episode as it does let us the audience know that there is danger even in one of the places that one of the main characters is meant to be the safest with the danger coming from the one person who she wouldn't expect to harm her should he do so and while this is something that would have worked just as well being a little bit later on in this oddly short season it works just as well here as it does mean that us the audience get to see Aemond Targaryen possibly fall even more into insanity then he already has done before. While Alicent does get a little bit more screen time then Daemon got in this episode she doesn't have much of an impact on the episode as a whole as alot of her scenes involve her sneaking around Aemond Targaryen and while the theme of sons and mothers is something that does run through this episode as we see Jacaerys go against his mother and have her locked up in her room when she says that she's going to help Corlys in his fight against Sharako and her men which granted with the added benefit of hindsight was the right thing to do otherwise it would have meant that she would have died and not him and it now also means that Rhaenyra is now going to be less likely to end the war should she find out that another one of her sons has died in her name with this being something that is going to make episode 2 alot more interesting to watch as now we know that she is going to be on the war path and given the fact that her side does have alot of dragons it does mean that no one is safe.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and five minuets and thirty six seconds. This is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this how with this episode really needing that amount of time as the episode does have alot of characters to not only catch up no but also help to set up there arcs for the season and it wouldn't be able to do that and still tell a good enough plot with a smaller running time and while this is the kind of running time that you would expect a season finale to have it works just as well for this episode due to the fact that it does allow for us the audience to truly live and breathe in this world that little bit longer with the episode having more then enough plot there to cover that amount of running time in the first place. Yet even with this in mind the episode still doesn't use its running time all that wisely as the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop its plot which is something that would have been passable if this was episode nine of season two as then you could argue that the previous episode did all of the set up that was needed but this is meant to be the start of a new season and therefor the episode really can't be acting like its the final episode of the season as it has to spend time on developing things like the plot as this episode very well could be used to set up things that are important to the rest of the season but as the makers of this episode are far more interested in showing us alot of pointless with Lady Rhaena Targaryen and her new dragon Sheepstealer the plot of this episode is left feeling more like an afterthought. This is also true for the episodes character development as well although here you very well could make the case that alot of the episodes characters have the previous seasons to get there character development and therefor they don't need to get it here which us something that is a fair enough case to make but then you get to characters like Sharako who only appeared in one other episode before this one and yet here she gets no character development with nothing being added to her character when the makers of this episode should have done exactly that to make us feel something for her when she dies but it does seem like the makers of this episode were more focused on spending ALOT of time on the Battle Of The Gullet then they were in giving any of the characters any form of character development but I really will admit hat this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. The very fact that this episode even has an action scene in it right away makes it alot more better then the season two finale but even so alot of the time this episode does cut away from the action only to cut back to it when alot of the stuff that we actually want to see has already happened like for example the episode cuts to the end of a war with Daemon and his soldiers and yet that is something that we would have wanted to see as it would have made for a really cool action and yet tho when the episode does allow us to actually see an action we do get something really special. With the best action scene in the whole entire episode being the Battle Of the Gullet as we get to see these two ships just trying to outwit each other and making moves that they know the other will follow in the hopes that it will lead them to there doom but then things get better when both Baela and Jacaerys join the battle on dragons and burn down alot of the attacking fleet but then just when you think that things can't any more dramatic Sharako and her men pull out a device that they use to help to injure the dragons something which is made all the more important when Rhaena and Sheepstealer come into play as Sheepstealer gets startled and starts attacking anyone friend or foe all the while down below Sharako and her men have boarded the queen who ever was and start attacking Corlys and his crew the fight only ending when both Sharako and Jacaerys are killed in action with the rest of the episodes action being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall whilst this episode is a good episode and is a solid way to start of the new season of the show it does feel very much like that this episode would have been better served being as episode none of season 2 rather then episode 1 of season 3 and with this season also being eight episodes it does make you wonder if this season will end on the same lackluster note as the previous season did but this episode is still a great start to the new season in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad thigs that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of an 8 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very revie from Tenor , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

House Of The Dragon "The Queen Who Ever Was" Review

House Of The Dragon a show that alot of us might have forgotten about and rightfully so as it has been a few years since the end of season 2. Is now just a few short days away from it's third season premiere and well I wanted to catch myself up with the story and I therefor thought that doing a review of the shows second season would be a great way to do that and to get people excited for the new episodes and so then join me as I review the episode that despite this being an action show has no action in it with the episode in question being called simply just "The Queen Who Ever Was" enjoy.

The plot of the episode with the threat of war looming Queen Rhaenyra has to settle things with Prince Daemon before getting an offer from Queen Alicent. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Whilst this episodes plot isn't the strongest that it could have been it's also not that bad either as there is an attempt to still craft a good story in here but due to the fact that this episode was forced into being the second season finale when HBO cut the episode order down by two episodes it is somewhat understandable that the plot of this episode is as messy as it is. With the episodes plot trying to wrap up all of the seasons plot lines whilst still very much trying to be it's own thing and set up the third season of the show and while HBO aren't fully to blame as they didn't put pen to paper and write the episode they also didn't do the episode any favors either, with the episodes plot not really feeling like a final episode as there are no stakes in the episode rather it feels like the plot that you would have before the big episode nine episode of previous seasons and if this episode had remained in it's original place in the running order then the plot might have been alot more better but due to it being forced into being the seasons finale episode the episodes plot does come across as being rather lackluster when compared to even the first seasons finale episode with the plot of this episode not really being really rather entertaining and nor is it really rather engaging either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen and Emma D'Arcy as Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen. Also starring in this episode is Olivia Cooke as Queen Alicent Hightower , Rhys Ifans as Ser Otto Hightower , Steve Toussaint as Lord Corlys Velaryon , Fabien Frankel as Ser Criston Cole , Matthew Needham as Lord Larys Strong , Sonoya Mizuno as Mysaria , Tom Glynn-Carney as King Aegon II Targaryen , Ewan Mitchell as Prince Aemond Targaryen , Phia Saban as Queen Helaena Targaryen , Harry Collett as Prince Jacaerys Velaryon , Bethany Antonia as Lady Baela Targaryen , Phoebe Campbell as Lady Rhaena Targaryen , Jefferson Hall as Ser Tyland Lannister / Lord Jason Lannister , Freddie Fox as Ser Gwayne Hightower , Gayle Rankin as Alys Rivers , Kurt Egyiawan as Grand Maester Orwyle , Abubakar Salim as Alyn Of Hull , Clinton Liberty as Addam Of Hull , Kieran Bew as Hugh , Tom Bennett as Ulf , Simon Russell Beale as Ser Simon Strong , Paul Kennedy as Lord Jasper Wylde , Phil Daniels as Maester Gerardys , Max Wrottesley as Ser Lorent Marbrand , Jamie Kenna as Ser Alfred Broome , Vincent Regan as Ser Rickard Thorne , Antonio Magro as Lord Petyr Piper , Abigail Thorn as Admiral Sharako Lohar , Daniel Fathers as Lord Humfrey Lefford , Joshua Ben-Tovim as Brynden Rivers and Eddie Eyre as Ser Axell Bulwer.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With the acting in the episode actually being one of the few things that the episode actually got alot of praise and rightfully so as all of this episodes actors really do bring there A game in this episode with the episode having what might be be the best acting in House Of The Dragon as a whole with it being made clear as day that all of this episodes actors are not only really comfortable in their roles but also know there characters inside and out with that being something that does inform the choices that they all make as actors. With the best actor in the whole entire episode being Emma D'Arcy as Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen as she ad Olivia Cooke get alot of the best scenes in the whole entire episode and while they both act there socks off in this episode Emma is just that tiny bit better due to the fact that you do see the pain that she carries with her from the end of the last season and you see the betrayal that she might have been feeling in this episode with both of those things really shining through in her final performance. With the acting that's in this episode not really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so bad as it gives none of this episodes actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what to is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode. 

Doing the CGI for this episode is PixStone Images , Pixomondo , Outpost VFX , RVX , Red Visual Effects , Rodeo FX , The Third Floor London and Viridian FX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. This is something that is understandable as this show has always had some really good looking CGI in it and to be fair to the episode the episodes CGI is one of the more better things that are in the episode but having good CGI doesn't make for a good episode. To the episodes credit it does have alot of hidden CGI in it as while we all know that the dragons are going to be CGI but what we didn't know was that the water and the surrounding scenery that characters cross at the end of the episode is also fully CGI as is alot of the interiors at Castle Harrenhal and while those are thing that could be seen as going a bit over the top with the CGI with the makers of this episode clearly using the thinking that they can use CGI and so there just going to use it everywhere but again to be fair alot of those CGI elements are hidden really well with them only being revealed as being computer generated in the episodes behind the scenes featurette as they do blend into the episode really well, yet at the same time tho with the episode having as many effects as it does have it does make the episode feel alot less like a live action show and more like a very expensive cartoon show as alot of the shots in which they use CGI in in this episode are shots that you could have done using practical effects and they would have looked better due to the fact that practical effects do age alot more slowly then what CGI effects do.

Unlike with the latter seasons of Game Of Thrones where you got the sense that the characters are now all moving into there final positions. Here in this episode you don't really get that feeling and while this very well could be because of the fact that this episode was never intended to be the final episode of season two and therefor the makers of this episode really didn't have to set the characters moving into there final positions but given the fact that this change in the episode order happened early enough in the seasons production for them to rewrite the season as a whole then the makers of this episode very well could have made some effort to help to get the characters into what might be there final positions as that would show that they are thinking ahead. Granted they might not have planned for the final two seasons at the time that this episode was being made either which is something that would have been fair enough but with the added benefit of hindsight it does make you wonder why the characters aren't being positioned to be in there final places like they were in the latter seasons of Game Of Thrones, just to make it more clear what I mean by that when you look back at the final episode of Game Of Thrones season 6 they do set up Sansa as someone who could possibly be queen if she wanted something which we do see her get just not in the way that we expected and we do see the characters start to reach the end of there journeys as characters and yet in this episode you don't get the feeling that this show is wrapping up rather you get the feeling that this is just the next episode of the show and that's not something that you want to get when your show is now officially halfway done. Whilst this isn't something that effects the episode in either a negative or a positive way it is something that does make you wonder just how far ahead that the makers of this episode are thinking as they clearly thought as far ahead as season 3 as they do start to tease that next season towards the end of this episode but that's really as far as they've thought of.

One of the many things that this episode did rightfully get alot of hate for when it first came was the fact that for an action show there no action in this episode and this is meant to be the final episode of the season which is where you expect there to be alot of really good action in it. Yet the makers of the episode don't give us any action outside of one comedy fight scene and that's it and even then that fight scene doesn't play a part in the plot but there is a good chance that given who it introduces that it could play a part in the third season of the show, this is something that you don't want to be the case in an action show as for the final episode of the show the audience is expecting alot of really cool action scenes to happen and when you do give us any and instead give us an episode that does feel really weak then there is something fundamentally wrong with the episode. This could be due to the fact that the episode very much does feel like a calm before the storm episode which is something that would have been fine if that was always the plan for this episode back when the season had ten episodes as then episodes nine and ten could have been filled to the brim with the action that we've come to expect from this show and this episode would have been just a bad episode lost in a sea of good ones but the second that it was decided that this episode was going to be the final episode of the season then there should have been some action put into the episode as now this episode doesn't have the luxury of being the calm before the storm episode now it has to be the storm and that does mean having these really jaw dropping action scenes that will leave us the audience really wanting to see more but for one reason or another the makers of this show deciding to ditch the action aspect of the show all together and instead give alot more focus to it's drama aspect to the point where you might as well as call this show a drama show.

One of the things that Game Of Thrones loved to do was give us a speech where someone declared who they were helping. With this episode being no different as after getting a vision about things that will happen which does include a cameo from Imogen Ruby Little as Daenerys Targaryen Prince Daemon Targaryen does decide that he wants to remain at Queen Rhaenyra's side with him giving her a speech about how he will always fight for her and how it is her destiny to reclaim the throne but its what she says towards the end of the speech that is interesting as she says that if he goes off with his army without her knowing about it again then it will be the last thing that he does this is something that does make you wonder if she's truly sane or if she doesn't fully trust Daemon. As its not something that would have been said if she did fully trust him and she was perfectly sane and given the fact that she started a war due to the fact that her son was killed off by the King it does make sense that she would go a little mad and heck that is also something that happens to alot of Targaryens therefor it would make sense for it also happen to Rhaenyra on the ither hand it could be that she doesn't fully trust Daemon which given that he left her at the start of this season without telling her and took his army with him is something that she would be fully justified in doing but here's hoping that the show actually doesn't resolve this until the final season as it is something that could make for a great twist with it being something that will make you wonder what's actually going on with these two characters, the speech it self was fairly well done its not the best speech that this franchise has ever done as that honor goes to the court speech in season 4 of Game Of Thrones but it is one that does get the blood pumping with it mainly being Daemon telling these dragon riders and soldiers that yeah alot of you will die but will be for what they believe to be a noble cause.

Now then this episode has / had an exactly grand total running time of exactly one hour and nine minuets and six seconds. Which to be fair to this episode is a perfectly solid running time for the episode to have and it is one that you do expect a series finale for this show to have as well and yet the episode still doesn't feel like it's a series finale this is despite the fact that the episode has the running time of a series finale as it does just feel like an average episode of the show due to the fact that the episode really didn't need to be as long as it is as the episode doesn't wrap up alot of the seasons plot lines and it could tell it's plot in the show typical fifty to one hour time frame and still not loose anything that's actually important to te plot of this episode with the episode having more then enough plot there to cover that amount of running time in the first place. The episode itself doesn't really use its running time all that wisely either as the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop its plot which in all fairness is something that it didn't really need to do as this episode is meant to be wrapping up plot lines and therefor it didn't need to add anything to them but it still would have helped the episode if the makers of this episode did take the time to fully develop this episodes plot as that would made it look like that there was more thought and effort put into this episodes that what there clearly was with the episode being more focused on teasing season3 then it is in giving us a well thought out plot. The episode also doesn't take the time to fully develop its characters either which is something that again it didn't really need to do as you cold make the case that all of the characters have several other episodes to get there character development but it still would have been nice to see them get some form of character development in this episode as this episode is meant to be ending the seasons plot lines there it would have made sense for the makers of this episode to give some of the characters some form of character development but the makers of this episode were more focused on giving us cameos from Game Of Thrones characters which does mean that none of this episodes character get any form of character development but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a drama that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Whilst the episode does have some really good drama in it that's also the issue as this isn't and never was a drama franchise it was always an action franchise and while yes there was bits of drama added in they never the main focus of a series finale the action and therefor it makes no sense for this episode to focus more on the drama as good as it is and ditch action all for no good reason. With the best bit of drama in the whole episode being the entire final scene between Alicent and Rhaenyra as Alicent does outright say that she will give the Rhaenyra the throne if she stops the war as she doesn't want to loose anyone the way that Rhaenyra has done with this being something that does make Rhaenyra quite angry at first as of course she wants Alicent to feel the pain that she's felt all season long and yet she's asking her to stop the war for pretty much no reason, with the thing that makes this scene work is not only is it the best written and acted scene in the whole episode but when you break it down it's a scene about two former best friends trying to get back on the same page and while time will indeed tell if it works or not the fact that they are making an attempt to be as close as they were back in season one of this show does show us the audience that there is still some amount of kindness left in both of them towards each other with the rest of the episodes drama being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while it is hard to say on if this is the weakest finale of the franchises history as that would mean counting the show finale for Game Of Thrones if we are talking just House Of The Dragon only then yeah this finale is the weakest one thus far as the plot isn't that good and there's alot more of a focus on drama then this on action but with that being said the ending drama scene is really good and it does do a good job of getting you ready for season 3 of this show as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that re in this very episode in this very revie and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very revie well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Tenor , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Paddington 1976 TV Series "Paddington In Court" Review

Paddington is someone who was for a long while a mostly forgotten about character that only people of a certain age knew about and yet thanks to the new movies and the stage musical he is a global superstar. Yet alot of the young people today don't know of or just straight up forgot about the fact that the character did star in a highly successful animated series in the seventies and well as I really love the show I thought that i'd take a look at another of the episode of the show and so then join me as I review the episode that sees Paddington go to court with the episode in question being called simply just "Paddington In Court" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is for a treat Mr. Gruber treats Paddington to day at court to watch cases being judged only for the bear to find himself in a spot in bother. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. While yes the episodes plot is indeed really simple with the title of the title of the episode even just straight up telling us what the main plot of the episode is even about in the first place this is a plot that really didn't need to be complex as this is an episode that does rely on Paddington just being his usual charming self. Granted there could have been more to this episodes plot as we don't even find out why Mr. Gruber is taking Paddington out to a day at the courts in the first place which is something that could have played into the plot of the episode in a really fun way but at the same time tho this episode really doesn't need to explain a whole lot outside of the fact that unlike in Paddington 2 where Paddington was framed for a crime the only thing that this episode needs to explain is that Paddington is here with a friend just getting ready to watch a case be discussed and that's really it and while it would have helped the episode out quite alot if the episode did have a more stronger plot to it as this episode does have one of the more weaker plots of the series that isn't something that breaks the episode as the episode still does work even with a more weaker plot with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Sir Michael Hordern with him being just as charming and delightful as he is in the rest of the show. Heck he even does give a lot of the other characters in this episode their own unique voices something which does help us the audience to tell who is speaking and when this is something that he didn't have to do of course but it is something that does make a show like this one truly standout as a lot of other kids shows from around this time period would just give the characters the same voice and yet here in not only this show but in this episode we do get a whole host of different voices like for example he gives the Judge a more pompous sounding voice while the lawyers have more of a slightly dim-witted voice to them. All of which do serve to make it alot more easier to say who is talking to who and when yet in saying this there are times where it ha to tell just which of the lawyers are talking as they do sound quite similar with the only thing that could have been done to fix this was if he maybe gave one of them an accent as even tho that would be a small thing it would go along way loke maybe one of them could have a more northern speaking accent whilst the over has a more Midwest UK country accent with this being something that expose more kids to more types of accents and it would help the world of this show feel more unique as while they do have Mr. Gruber who is German all of the characters in this show and in the films seem to be from London when there would be alot more different people with different accents and yes this is a fictional kids show so the makers of this show don't have to stick with reality but even back in the seventies there was a lot of different accents just in London alone and whilst this is doesn't effect Michaels acting it is something that would have helped alot of the characters sound more different from each other.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With Sir Michael turning in a really good performance with it being clear as day that he does have a good amount of love and respect for not only this show and the character of Paddington himself but also the books with it feeling like that he's turning this good of a performance in not only this episode but in all of the other episodes as well due to the fact that he either has kids and he read the books to them or he has friends that have kids and he was doing the show for them. Wit him of course being the episodes best actor and while he is no Mel Blanc he does still manage to make all of the characters that he plays in this episode feel unique from each other and stand apart from each other be it from either how they react to Paddington and the things that he's saying to them or due to there accents there is always something in this episode from an acting point of view that does make the characters standout a bit with this being something that you can hear in his final performance in this episode. With the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actor has to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of him naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the really greats that are currently over at FilmFair. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With the shows usual blend of 2D animation blending in really well with the stop motion animation done for Paddington with the episode even getting some really impressive shots that would be hard to do today due to the fact that they do blend 2D animation with 3D stopmotion therefor it would have been really hard to do in the seventies. To be frank tho you do get the feeling that the makers of this show just weren't giving it there all in this episode as the episodes animation whilst it is still good in it's own right isn't up to the high standard set by this show as alot of the time they are just using still frames for alot of there shots which yes is a great way to save time and money but it does also make the episodes animation look cheaper this was most likely done in this episode as the episode really only has one setting that being the court room and therefor the makers of this episode more then likely couldn't find away with the courtroom set to get some really good animation and therefor there more then likely chose to use still frames but at the same time tho there could have been away to make this episodes animation quality match that of the rest of the rest of the show as this is a show that does have a really high bar when it comes to its animation and whilst yes this episode does have some really good looking animation in it you can tell that the episodes animation was done alot more cheaply and was more cheaply made.

As was just mentioned this whole episode does mainly take place in the one setting that being the courtroom and to be fair to this episode it does have alot of fun with that setting. With us the audience even finding out things that we might not have known otherwise like for a example they mention something about what lawyers bring to the court with them being there papers to help them with the case which is something that not alot of people would have known and yet it is something that this episode does go almost out of its way to teach us when its not really something that the makers of this episode really had to do as they could have not had that line in the episode and the episode would have worked just as well but the fact that they did does show us that they did try to make this show appear to be somewhat educational by teaching us something that even alot of adults won't know. The episode does even have alot of fun with the main Judge character with him and along with the lawyers all getting flustered by what Paddington is saying as with Paddington being Paddington he's getting confused by all of the things that he's saying and is answering there questions literally with the only thing what would have made this courtroom scenes be the more fun to watch being if they had Mr. Curry in the episode as you can just picture trying to cope with all the things that Paddington is saying whilst also trying not loose his cool but not having him in the episode or even any of The Browns for that matter is something that does still work as we get to see how Paddington interacts with other people outside of the regular side characters which is something that is always fun to see as you just know that alot of them are going to be confused which is something that does make alot of the scenes in this episode really fun to watch.

In what is a rather bizarre move for this second series of the show the show was renamed to "The Adventures Of Paddington" even tho it kept all of the same team from the first series and is officially the next series. This did also come with a new intro where we see Paddington unpacking his suit case revealing the key creative people in the series but it is still odd that they would rename the show while granted kids shows back then didn't typically get a second series especially if they were animated but at the same time tho why go through all the bother of not only renaming the show but also animating an entire new intro sequence when you can just keep the same name and the same intro sequence as that is something that will save you alot of money in the long run. However to be fair this is something that could have been as as was mentioned kids animated shows didn't typically get a second series sometimes they did like The Magic Roundabout for example but alot of the time after you aired those first series episodes that was it your show was finished and you could move onto the next thing but for whatever reason the BBC decided that they wanted to bring this show back and in 1979 that's exactly what they did as the first series finished airing in 1976 so there was this huge three gap where there was no new animated Paddington being made which is where FilmFair would have been able to move on and do other projects but for some reason this little show must have cought the attention of little kids and convinced the BBC to bring it back for more episodes and that's exactly what they did do this is something that might explain why the show got a name change as it would make it feel like a new show that is also the second series of a TV show but at the same time it is a pointless change as alot of people just refer to the whole show as Paddington and not The Adventures Of Paddington.

To put in frankly this is an episode that is more of a daft episode as the main plot of the episode really only happens due to the fact that Brown is a common surname with the person that the Judge was actually asking being a human lawyer. This is a solid enough and to be fair to the episode is doesn't really need to explain why this lawyer was only showing up at the very end of the episode but the fact that they did does show that the makers of this episode did care about finishing of the episode in a way that makes sense as they show us Mr. Gruber explaining what's happened to the Judge which is something that does make sense as he would want to clear up this mess in as quick of a way as is possible. What the episode doesn't explain however was what was Mr. Gruber up to during the time that Paddington was on trial as we know that Mr. Gruber was looking for a case for them to sit in on but that us something that surely wouldn't have taken him that long to do and therefor he surely would have gotten back to the seat where he left Paddington as quickly as possible and while the episode isn't harmed by this as this is still a really good episode it is something that does make you wonder what he was up. To be fair to this episode it does prove that the show didn't really need The Browns in it as outside of of course Paddington none of them appear in the episode with only Mrs. Brid and Mrs. Brown getting a mention in the episode and while this is understandable at this point in the show they had very rarely if ever done an episode where The Browns aren't featured in at the very least one scene which is understandable as they are meant to be main characters therefor showing us an episode without them does force the makers of this show to just focus on Paddington and a new set of characters with it being those things that do help the episode to standout.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly four minuets and forty seven seconds. This is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show and to be fair to this episode it really doesn't need that long of a running time in the first place as it does have a really basic and simple plot to it with that meaning that the episode could tell its plot in a short amount of running time and be over really before you noticed that it began this is something that is also a fairly bad thing as the episode does start to get more and more interesting and more and more chaotic right before it ends with the episode having more then enough plot there to cover that amount of running time in the first place. With the episode even using its running time about as wisely as it could have done as while the episode really doesn't take the time to fully develop its plot it really doesn't need to do that as the episodes plot is as simple as it gets in the first place and while yes it would have been nice if the episode did take the time to add things to the episodes plot like explaining what Mr. Gruber was up to while Paddington was on trial it really didn't need to do that as that would get in the way of Paddington being his usual charming self. This is something that could also be said for the episodes lack of character development as both Paddington and Mr. Gruber don't need to get character development as they could get it in quite literally any other episode of the show and the episode exclusive characters don't need it as they only appear in this episode but at the same time tho it would have been if quite literally any of this episodes characters got some form of character development if it's just the lawyer Mr. Brown learning to not be so late with the makers of this episode being rightfully more focused on the episodes comedy to give any of the episodes characters any form of character development but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episode having alot of really painfully funny laugh out loud moments in it with it being the episodes comedy that really did make me want to review this episode as alot of the episodes jokes were not only funny but they also felt right for the character of Paddington himself. With the best joke in the whole entire episode easily being when Paddington is asked to swear on a bible Paddington just gives the man a hard stare and says simply not because his Aunt Lucy taught him not to swear which is just such a funny joke as Paddington would of course get it all wrong and think that he is actually being asked to swear as much like Winnie The Pooh, Paddington is a simple bear at heart and the fact that he even goes the extra mile and gives the man one of his hard stares is something that does make that joke even funnier in the first place. Heck while it is a joke that you do see coming if you know how the courts work it still does catch you of guard and remind you that Paddington is a kids character albeit one that does at times act more mature then the adults around him and while that doesn't effect how funny the joke is the fact that it still catch you of guard is tho as its not a joke that you expect them to make with things only being made worse from there as Paddington unknowingly does cause alot of trouble just by taking things like being asked to swear on a book quite literally with the rest of the episodes jokes being just as painfully funny as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  

Overall whilst the animation and plot aren't the best that this series has to other it's jokes are with the fact that the jokes are as funny as they are being more then enough to recommend this episode to anyone as you will have a really good time watching this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Supergirl TV Series "The Adventures Of Supergirl" Review

Believe it or not we have just a few a weeks left until the second and hopefully better live action Supergirl films comes out. While yes there will be a tie in review for that film coming out about a week or so before the release of that film this isn't it as people have seemed to have forgotten the fact that the character did also appear in a successful live action TV show with it being an episode of that show that i'm going to be talking to you all about today and so then join me as I review the episode that not only saw Supergirl meet her more famous cousin but also saw the show jump ship to The CW with the episode in question being called simply just "The Adventures Of Supergirl" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when a Kryptonian ship crash lands on Earth Supergirl and her cousin Superman have to find out who was in the ship and stop an assassination attempt on Lena Luthor. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. For a show on The CW this episodes plot was about as good as it was ever going to be as lets be frank here when you think of shows on The CW you don't usually think of high end plots and with this in mind this episodes plot did turn out to be alot more better then what it really should have been. With the plot of the episode being one that is quite fun and does serve as a great way to get you into what was this shows second season as it doesn't hit you over the head two much with the series overall plot rather it just gives you the basic Supergirl plot and that's really it and to be fair for a season opener that's all it really needed to do and while yes it would have been nice if the plot of this episode was alot more stronger as alot of the time it did feel like the episode was just on repeat mode until we get to the third act with this being something that did make it feel like the plot of the episode was playing second fiddle to Superman when it should have been the other way around with even the fact that Superman is in this episode doesn't really add anything to the episodes plot as he doesn't really do alot to advance the plot of the episode in the first place with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Melissa Benoist as Kara Danvers / Supergirl and Mehcad Brooks as James Olsen. Also starring in this episode is Chyler Leigh as Dr. Alex Danvers , Jeremy Jordan as Winn Schott , Chris Wood as Mon-El , David Harewood as Director J'onn J'onzz / Martian Manhunter , Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent / Superman , Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant , Katie McGrath as Lena Luthor , Brenda Strong as Dr. Lillian Luthor , Frederick Schmidt as John Corben , Andrea Brooks as Eve Teschmacher , Sachin Sahel as McGill and Darren E. Scott as Baker.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. The fact that this episodes acting is about as average as you'd expect from a CW show is pretty much something that you expect as much like how no one goes into Power Rangers expecting good acting the same thing is true for quite literally any show on The CW, yet even so the acting in this episode was alot more better as you could see the actors actually trying to put in a good performance with alot of quite clearly caring about the show enough to put in a good enough performance in the first place. With the best actor in this episode being Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant as while it would have been super easy to say that either Melissa or Tyler were the best actors in this episode Calista just about stole the show acting wise as she does have a great speech in the episode and with her making it obvious that she is leaving the show she does have go the extra mile to make her performance in the episode be all the more believable and this is something that she does do with great ease. With the acting that's in this episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the CGI for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Lindala Schminken FX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Look to be fair CGI has never been The CW's strongest suit as alot of there effects heavy shows like this one and Th Flash for example do have alot of very wonky CGI in them but in this episode is does feel as if the episode had already ran out of money for it's effects. As alot of the flying effects do look half finished even for a TV show with Superman himself perhaps getting the worst flying effects in he episode as it does just look like he's being dragged like something on a laptop or computer and heck the scenes with him and Supergirl together in the air just look fake as it's clear that the actors weren't filmed together. However whilst there are alot of really bad looking effects in this episode there are also some decent looking ones as well like for example the Lena Corp building does look pretty good as does the scene where Supergirl and J'onn are trying to stop the falling Kryptonian ship from crashing into alot of buildings and yet it's the more bigger scenes that do let this episodes CGI down as its all good giving alot of the more smaller scenes in the episode some really good effects but you also have to give the more important scenes some really good looking effects as well and this is something that this episode just doesn't do now in all fairness this could be a budget reason as this episode would have had to have spread its budget across a whole season of episodes which if that was the case then why did they introduce a character that's going to eat up more of there effects budget in the first place when that could have been used to make the episodes effects all the more better then what they already are.

As was mentioned at the very start of this review this episode does see Superman fully make his debut in this show. While yes the character did technically appear in the first season of the show it was always either from behind or really far away but this is the first time that we actually get to see him proper with this version of the character being abut as true to the Superman character as you can hope for on a TV show budget with him being the eternal optimist which is something that is true to how character as Superman will always look for the good in people even if they can't see it yet in themselves and this is something that we do get to see this take on the character do in this episode as we get to see him talking to other member of Team Supergirl with him more often then no giving them advice on how to get what it is they want currently in life. The only thing does somewhat let this version of the character down is the fact that both he and Supergirl are cracking jokes at each other every few minuets that they are on screen together which is something that does make sense as they did quite literally grow up together but alot of the time it does feel like that they are stopping the episode to have the characters make a quick joke and when you add in the face that Supergirl is also an eternal optimist in this show it does make there conversations together just not that interesting with the only interesting thing that they say to each other being at the end of the episode when Superman asks Kara to tell him stories of Krypton which is so that does make sense as he was only a baby when the planet blew up and show would know alot more about the planet then he would have done but if the makers of this episode had her start to doubt herself in this episode then maybe there chats together could have been more fun to watch as then he would be someone who is trying to motivate her instead of someone who is just like her and talking the exact same way that she does.

This episode does also see the show fully jump ship from CBS to The CW however whilst this does come with it's advantages like being alot more easier for crossovers to happen as now all of the Arrowverse shows are filmed in the same studio. It does also come with it's disadvantages as well as actor Calista Flockhart did have to leave the show as it would mean being away from her family for a huge portion of the year something which wasn't an issue in the first season as the first season of the show was filmed in LA whereas from season 2 onwards they mostly filmed in Vancouver this is does have the on add effect of making this show look like all of the other Arrowverse which granted is great for unity but given the fact that this show is meant to take place on a different earth it does make the show feel alot less unique. With another plus being the fact that it does allow for the makers of this episode to be alot more hands on something which we don't really get to see in this episode as the episode does feel like a typical Supergirl episode and that's really it but we do get to see a change to the status quo of the show with Kara now being a reporter and the DEO now having a bigger base of operations this was no doubt done due to the fact that they the show might have had a bigger budget this time around and while the effects don't entirely reflect that the fact that we get a new main set for the rest of the show does and to be fair to this episode it does show of this new set quite alot as we get alot of scenes in this new set with the characters just showing alot of the different rooms something which they might not have done in the previous season and while not alot of the new scenes in this new set add anything to the plot of the episode the set itself is one that does look really impressive but at the same time tho the makers of this could have spent alot less on that set and given more of the money to the episodes effects teams t make this episode effects be all the more better.

The main villain in this episode is John Corben with the character apparently being one of the best assassins in this world. I say apparently as he has two attempts to kill Lena Luthor and he fails both times which is something that one of the best assassins in the world just wouldn't do granted the first reason was because of the fact that she changed her mind about going on the space ship and did something else but on the second attempt he was only fighting Alex a mortal who he could have shot several times but didn't this doesn't really make him a good assassin but given the fact that he's the first villain of a new season he does his job well enough as he's only there to set up the main threat for this season which is CADMUS and the villains that they create. With John himself not really being the best of villains as he doesn't have a main plan in mind which does make it look like that he's just doing all of these things for no reasons now granted there is very much a chance that in further episode they might very well have explained what his plan was in this episode but in terms of this episode they do no such thing which is something that does make him look like a weak villain as there's nothing interesting about him that makes us the audience want to see more of him as a character and yet yet he gets the big tease for the season when he gets turned into Metallo which isn't enough to make him an interesting character granted the first villain if a new season is never meant to be interesting as they are basically there to get you in the mood for what's to come but there really still needs to be something literally anything about them that makes them worth while be it there power of there plan and yet John has nothing interesting about him and therefor we the audience have really no reason to care for him as a character.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty two minuets and forty eight seconds. Which to be fair to this episode is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show in the first place and while the episode really didn't need that amount of running time it would have done more harm to the episodes plot then good if the episode was even five minuets shorter as the episode does have alot of things to set up and while alot of the rings that it does set up would have been better saved for the second episode getting them out of the way here does allow for those other episodes to be more fun in the first place with this episode having the right mount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time in the first place. However the episode really doesn't use its running time all that wisely as the episode doesn't take the fully develop its plot and while this isn't a huge issue as it is something that very easily could be an issue for all of the other Arrowverse shows it ie something they the makers of this episode should taken some steps in fixing as due to the plot being as wafer thin as it is there times where it does get to tell just what the main plot is meant to be with the makers of hie episode being more focused on showing us its new DEO set then it is in giving us a well thought out plot. The same thing could also be said for the episode character development altho here there is an in build excuse as you could very well make the argument that the characters got alot of there character development during the shows first season which is something that would be a fair point to make however a character like Superman didn't get any character development which again you could argue he doesn't need as he's so well in the first place but this is a new version of the character and yet we know nothing about him with the makers of this episode being more focused on having Clark and Kara making jokes about each other then they are in giving there characters some character development but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With the episode really delivering on its action as well as it possibly could have done as we do have to take into account that this is a TV show that's made on a TV show budget and therefor we can't expect there to be lots of really good action every few minuets as that just wouldn't be good for the episodes budget and yet with that in mind this episodes action did turn as well as it could have done. With the best action scene in the whole entire episode being the third act attack on Lena Luthor as we get to not only see Superman and Supergirl working together with both of them using there powers to stop her building from falling but we also get to see Alex engage John in hand to hand combat with her being more then able to hold her own against him, with it always a good time when we get to see more then one superhero use there powers as that is something that will always be cool to see with it being Supergirl that does rightfully save the day as she is the title character after all as she does construct a small tower made out of steel beams to support the building and stop it from falling which is a pretty unique way to save the day with the hand to hand fight being the more interesting of the two bits of action as we do get to see both characters struggle to get the upper hand on the other with Alex only just barely escaping with her life with the rest of the episodes action being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while time will indeed tell if the forthcoming movie Supergirl will be a good film this show and this episode isn't one that should be slept on either as while yes this episode is just the stereotypical The CW superhero show episode this is something that is right for this version of the Supergirl character in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that re in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the i ages that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Arrowverse fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great the official Arrowverse fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Arrowverse fandom wiki page really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
