DVD Review: The Librarians Season 1 Episode 6 "And The Fables Of The Doom" [Emz]

So this was an interesting episode.. a little cringe worthy and very funny.

Here is the Synopsis:

The librarians travel to a town where fairy tales come to life and attack.

Review:

So this episode was really good in some places but very cheesy in others. The team investigate the fact that a troll dumped a man in the lake in his truck. They find a massive fingerprint on said truck. Ezekiel and Eve find the Troll.

Meanwhile, whilst Cassandra and Jake talk with the Sheriff about the strange goings on in the town, they are interrupted by the town mayor seemingly unaware that he is completely naked.

This leads to bigger problems. Jake kills a massive Wolf. It seems that all the townsfolk are slowly turning into fairy tale characters. 

Jenkins names the book that they should look for as the "Libris Fabula."

Whilst some of the team interview the local Librarian about the book, Ezekiel meets a dying child called Jessie in the hospital. He teaches her how to pick locks and somehow figures out she is being drained by the book.

After rejoining the team and getting arrested, the Sheriff (who turns out to be Jessie's father) turns into the Big Bad Wolf.

The team are beginning to turn into fairy-tale characters Eve becomes the princess, Cassandra becomes Prince Charming, this explains why she was being hit on by lots of women earlier in the story. Jake is the Huntsman and Ezekiel is Jack, the nimble thief.

In the end, Ezekiel finds out that the Librarian is draining Jessie of her life force. he manages to distract him and gets Jessie to change the story and end it. 

The Librarian ends up inside the book.

I enjoyed this story, It was a little cheesy though. The way Eve turned into a Princess and constantly giggled and the way Cassandra became Prince Charming.

It was rather funny though the way that the Town Mayor ended up walking around naked, it wasn't hard to remember The Emperor's new clothes.

Till Next Time

TV Review: Designated Survivor Season 1 Episode 6 "The Interrogation" [Emz]

This episode is quite deep. It's starts out with informing MacLeish that the Vice Presidency is an option for him. 

Here is the synopsis:

A shooting at the White House during a governors' summit throws President Kirkman's plans to elect a new Congress into turmoil; Agent Hannah makes a shocking discovery in her investigation of the capitol bombing.

Review:

So This episode covers the beginning of MacLeish being vetted for VP (Vice President) and it is looking promising.

The FBI are Interrogating Majid Nassar and he eventually caves and gives them information on the real Terrorist "Catalan." Of course no one is able to work out who this person is.

Finally President Kirkman is dealing with 2 situations. He is throwing a governors Ball and whilst this is happening someone shoots at the White House. The only person injured in this attack in President Kirkman's Bodyguard Mike Ritter who was off Duty.

Following this, President Kirkman starts to attempt  to put together Congress. with difficulty.

I enjoyed this episode. It was full of twists and turns. From the Governor Ball, the interrogation and the shooting to the death of Majid Nassar, the interupted reveal about MacLeish and working out a way to form a Congress.

Nothing ran smoothly, but answers we formed by the end in some way, shape or form. It keeps you in suspense, on the edge of your seat.

I look forward to the next episode.

Till next time

TV Review: The Flash Season 3 Episode 6 "Shade" [Emz]

So this episode marks the beginning of Kid Flash.

Here is the synopsis:

Wally starts having dreams about being Kid Flash, making Barry realize he must tell Wally, Iris and Joe what happened to Wally in Flashpoint.

Review:

I enjoyed this episode. It was interesting to see how Doctor Alchemy gives people powers that their Flashpoint selves lived with.

We also see The Flash battle Shade and Caitlin informs Cisco of her powers.

They try to use Wally as Bait to capture Doctor Alchemy , just for it to backfire and him to escape. In this process Wally ends up encased in a Cocoon and we earn that Doctor Alchemy is just a lackey for someone else. Calling themselves Savitar.

That's all for this post.

Till next tme

TV Review: Doctor Who: Series 1 Episode 6 "Dalek" [Emz]

So we come to the point in the series where we meet an old foe, in very unusual circumstances.

This episode is set in Utah in 2012. 

Here is the synopsis:

The Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler arrive in 2012 to answer a distress signal and meet a collector of alien artefacts who has one living specimen. However, the Doctor is horrified to find out that the creature is a member of a race he thought was destroyed: a Dalek.

Review: 

I liked this episode as we saw the raw emotion that the Doctor has been trying to hide, when he comes face to face with a Dalek for the first time since the Time War.

The Dalek is being held a underground Museum full of parts of Aliens and alien technology. It is owned by a man called Henry Van Statten.

Of course nothing is ever simple and due to the compassion that Rise shows the Dalek and touches it, he grows in strength and chases them through the museum it is being held in.

In this time Van Statten realises that the Doctor is an Alien and tortures him, until the Dalek is on the escape and then lets him go free to help stop the Dalek.

The ending was very emotional in a way as the Dalek realised it was turning partially human as Rose had touched it. and ordered Rose to tell him to sacrifice himself.

Of course, Rose meets Adam along the way and he decides to travel with The Doctor and Rose at the end of the episode.

I really liked this episode. I remember being on the edge of my seat the first time I watched it.

Till next time
