While Iris’ (Candice Patton) time sickness bounces her to the future where struggle to find a way to help, that same condition has affected the negative version of the Forces (Sara Garcia, Ennis Esmer, and Christian Magby) who make a trip to Lian Yu to kill Eobard Thawne (Tom Cavanagh) and then to S.T.A.R. Labs to kill the younger version (Matt Letscher) as well. In need of more speed, Barry‘s (Grant Gustin) training of Fast Track (Kausar Mohammed) takes a turn when he teaches her how to share her speed with Eobard (a really, really, really bad idea the episode races through without a second thought) leading to the apparent death of a major character and rebirth of another in the cliffhanger ending of “Part One.”

Obi-Wan Kenobi – Part VI

  • Title: Obi-Wan Kenobi – Part VI
  • wiki: link

Taken in a vacuum, there’s some interesting aspects to the closing episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Taken as part of the whole, “Part VI” continues the trend of uneven writing and bad decision making leaving the finale, like many of the episodes before it, being pretty damn infuriating. After a strong opening episode, the show fell into traps thanks to some bad writing, ignoring Star Wars canon while constantly stealing from it and building its story from its now shaky foundations, and some questionable choices by nearly every single character who appears on-screen. While it delivers a handful of moments fans were salivating for, how it gets to them (and even how it uses them) are often mediocre at best. Is Obi-Wan Kenobi fun? At times. Was it a good show? No, not really.

Halo – Reckoning

  • Title: Halo – Reckoning
  • wiki: link

With the larger artifact within the grasp of the UNSC, and Master Chief (Pablo Schreiber) dealing with some serious trust issues with Dr. Halsey (Natascha McElhone), various internal drama is put on hold with the arrival of the Covenant whose arrival not only leads to their aliens the artifact from the humans but also Kai (Kate Kennedy) struggling with the emotions of battle and the show finally interjecting Makee (Charlie Murphy) into the main storyline. Meanwhile, the storyline of Kwan (Yerin Ha) continues along its own path that feels increasingly disconnected from the other characters of the show. While far from a great episode, “Reckoning” does at least manage to push events forward for multiple characters and offer quite a bit of furious action in its final moments.
