Wolf Pack Review: "Lion's Breath"
Hard to believe that we are almost at the end of this inaugural season, and I'm referring to it as such with hopes that we will get a second season. As a devout optimist, I'd like to believe that we should see a second season of this amazing show, but it all depends on how this season ends, as well as the responses to the finale. But that's next week. The focus is Episode 7, which kicks off with Baron suddenly appearing to Everett, who attempted to get through to the timid, yet dangerous, werewolf. Baron states that he's not in control; someone's pulling the strings. That's one. I'll explain later.

Reviewing the Conclusion of the Red Death Arc
So here it is. We have arrived at what seems like the conclusion of the amazing Red Death arc that started with the ninth and final season premiere, where the villainous speedster briefly appeared in the final moments of that episode. After another mysterious appearance in the second episode, the third episode ends with Red Death being revealed as an evil doppelganger of Ryan Wilder, aka Batwoman, a fact that was actually revealed months before the final season began. The previous episode saw Evil Ryan attempt to manipulate Iris into going with her into her Earth, after claiming that her version of The Flash destroyed her world and attempted to stop her from saving it.

Wolf Pack Review: "After Party"
We are now in the home stretch of Wolf Pack's first season, and it took me the entire week to come down for the high I was on from Episode 5's big ending. Sure enough, Episode 6 literally picks up where the last episode ended: with the werewolf still at the party. All of the teens are in the house scared out of their minds, while Adrian is loudly dismissing any and all claims that are the opposite of what's really out there. Everett, under Luna's urging, starts to tell what's out there, with Adrian pleading with him to do so. However, Everett states that it's a bear out there, and that drove Adrian up the wall.

Red Death Review: "The Mask of the Red Death" (Part 1)
At long last, we are at the most vital part of The Flash's Red Death saga after weeks of anticipation, excitement, and impatience. OK, all three of those words describe me. Even so, this angle has been quite intriguing and epic, and it reached new levels in Week 3, which ended with the Red Death unveiled and unmasked as Ryan Wilder--well, her alternate doppelganger. As I've been doing ever since the show's ninth and final season began, I've spent the last week eagerly awaiting the latest chapter, and lo and behold, here it is.

Reviewing a Hat Trick of Villainesses from the Season Finale of "Alert: Missing Persons Unit"
School House Rock said it best: three is a magic number. On the night that Alert: Missing Persons Unit's season finale aired, I watched the Colorado Avalanche (the three-time Stanley Cup Champions) win 3-0 over the Vegas Golden Knights. That aforementioned episode delivered with not one, not two, but three villainesses in the two-hour double episode event. It was quite thrilling from beginning to end, and here's what occurred.

Wolf Pack Review: "Incendiary"
Ooh boy! I've had a lot of excitement on TV in so little time! After watching the latest episode of The Flash, I tuned in to the final moments of the Blackhawks/Stars game, and almost saw a game-tying buzzer-beater from Dallas. A couple of hours later, I went to Paramount+ to watch the latest episode of Wolf Pack, because it's Episode 5, kicking off the second half of the season. I had been waiting for this; Episode 4 began the twists and turns for this season, and I figured that Episode 5 would continue to deliver.

Red Death Review: "Rogues of War"
The moment I've waited patiently for has arrived. Well, actually, it's the first of a three-pronged moment, but even so, every epic event has a beginning. So when we last left this saga, Red Death was fully released, and in this episode, we know what the planned result of the thefts is: a plan to build a cosmic treadmill. Based on Barry's description alone, it's an unstable object, but if placed in the wrong hands--for example, a deranged and maniacal supervillainess who just happens to be a speedster--it could completely wreck the space-time continuum.

Villainess Review: Brooke Mason (Magnum P.I.)
After four seasons, CBS suddenly axed the Magnum P.I. reboot, and I was livid! I loved that show; it was originally part of my Monday nights until the show was moved to Fridays, where it aired in-between the MacGyver reboot and Blue Bloods. The series stars Jay Hernandez as Thomas Magnum; filling the shoes (and the Detroit Tigers cap) of Tom Selleck--who currently stars on Blue Bloods. Perdita Weeks portrays Juliett Higgins, who ended the fourth season revealing her romantic feelings for Magnum, hence was I was upset at the cancellation. Zachary Knighton and Stephen Hill portrays Magnum's co-horts, Orville "Rick" Wright and Theodore "T.C." Calvin, respectively, and Tim Kang portrays detective Gordon Katsumoto.

Wolf Pack Review: "Fear and Pain"
I apologize for being a hair late with this review. I was unable to get the proper captures I needed for this story, but it's been taken care of, and I can deliver. I was excited for this episode, because it's Episode #4, the first of two episodes where things are supposed to get a little "twisty." We see Kristin Ramsey talking to Austin about the day of the crash, and Austin tells the same story he has been stating: he saw a large creature roaming. Ramsey gives the proper description, but then assumes that Austin saw a ram on that day, and no, I'm not talking about Cooper Kupp.

Red Death Review: "Hear No Evil"
Entering today, the big high I received from the previous week's final season opener of The Flash had slowed down a bit. Then the 8PM hour drew close, and it all came back again. In case you (somehow) missed it, Barry Allen will have one final Big Bad to deal with: Red Death. In the comics, Red Death is an evil version of Batman, but in the Arrowverse, the Red Death who will plague The Flash is actually an evil version of Batwoman, and will be played by Javicia Leslie.

Villainess Review: Shannon Steerman (Alert: Missing Persons Unit)
I have really enjoyed Fox's Monday night lineup in recent years. Usually, the 9-1-1 shows dominate Mondays, but there's also other programming when they're off. In this case, Fox has the Fantasy Island reboot, followed by one of their newest series, Alert: Missing Persons Unit (often simply known as Alert). It was easy for me to be all in on this, and I have two main reasons. Firstly, the show reminds me a bit of Ransom, the international series that aired on CBS for a few years, and second, the main stars. The series stars Scott Caan (son of the late, great James Caan) as Jason Grant--ex-military. For Caan, this is his first series after spending a decade on CBS' Hawaii Five-O reboot. Dania Ramirez is the other main star, portraying Jason's ex-wife (and co-worker in the MPU) Nikki Batista; of course, Ramirez is best known for being one of the titular Devious Maids, as well as being part of the final season of Once Upon a Time.

Wolf Pack Review: "Origin Point"
In a football season, Week 3 can serve as a turning point. Though football is the only sport where literally every game is important, Week 3 locks in tones for certain teams, and separates potential contenders from potential pretenders. When it comes to TV shows, especially serials with (at least) one mystery, Week 3 is when the plot starts to really thicken and things add up, with possible twists on the horizon. This was definitely the case with Paramount+'s Wolf Pack, and after we see a different quartet kick off the latest episode, the scene shifts to our familiar foursome.
