Airdate:2/20/17

Video Promo for Next week:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmcVef60lZ0

The episode opens with Mxyzptlkh an alien from another dimension wants to marry Kara, and overall this episode has a Valentine’s Day theme.    Mon-el seems to be jealous of him; because of you as the viewer know that he has a crush on Kara, and he wants to date her. Alex wants to do something special for Maggie, but Maggie says that she hates Valentine’s Day, and but never tells us why until later. Winn was attacked by villains, and he is saved by an alien.  Mxyzptlkh was one that set up a ply with a villain just to get Kara out to fight; so that he could save her and Mon-el just got more jealous of this.  Maggie shares the story of how she was outed, and why she hates Valentine’s Day but after talking to Kara she makes a Valentine’s Day prom for Alex.  Kara agrees to marry Mxyzptlkh, but she wants to do it on her planet when he gets there she backs down. Kara and Mon –el start a relationship, and Kara says that she didn’t mean it when she said that the two of them wouldn’t really work.

They used many quotable moments that I loved in this episode. “Thank you for bailing me out.”-Winn “”After  so many Valentine’s days alone  I was excited  to spend it together doing the cute things that couples do.”-Alex ”Hey pal how’s it going?”- Mon-el.  “There is no contest between you and me, I am a god and you’re a loser.”Mxyzptlkh.


Overall I loved most things about this episode, I love for the most part the fact that love was surrounding this episode. I loved that we had Alex and Maggie in love and that we had some character development and back story from Maggie. I love that Winn had found someone and that he went on a date, as a fan of the show I don’t think it will last but it was still lovely to see him with someone.  It wasn’t a traditional take on Valentine’s Day, and I really liked that but it still had some things that were Valentine’s Day themed.

The one thing that I didn’t like was the love triangle story line, and what seemed to be Kara used a plot device more than a character this week. The love triangle has been done to death on TV shows, and I would like to see some new fresh ideas on these TV shows not the same old same old. I didn’t like the plot between Mxyzptlkh, Mon-El, and Kara at all because although it was an original way of doing it at the end of the day it was still very much a plot device. We as the fans have been set up for Kara and Mon-El for weeks, and we they start to move forward to what they want it was like they took a step back. For me, it was like one step forward, two steps back and I didn’t like it.

Top Ten Tuesday- Holiday / Seasonal Freebie- Memorable characters of 2020

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana  @thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we book bloggers will post a reply to the topic. This week, it's a seasonal / winter freebie. I kind of went rogue in a way. In the winter you see the end of the year best-of lists, and that's exactly what I did with this post. You will find subsections to indicate the genre each book is in.  YA Contemporary 1- Pepper from Tweet Cute by Emma Lord Tweet Cute was a novel I read in September. I fell hard for the major character, Pepper. She was so sweet, and she wanted so much to lice her own life.  As a bonus, she baked, and I seem to really love characters who bake. Pepper made this list because she wanted to live her own life for her, and I really admire that quality in a person. 2- Sophie from 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston I’m in the middle of this book right now, but I ...

Top Ten Tuesday –Favorite Couples (Valentine’s Day /Love Freebie)

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl. . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. I love doing this meme because it gives me a chance to bond with other bloggers. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we bloggers will make a post with our list on the topic, or a different one. This week it was Valentines / Love, so I wanted to do a post on favorite couples. I may have done a similar post last year, but I know that there are some new couples on this list.  1- Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy- Pride & Prejudice   This is the only classic couple on this list. I enjoy their relationship because the two characters have little in common, and yet by the end of the novel, they make it work. As you read Pride & Prejudice, you get to see these two find the love each of them was missing. 2- Cath and Levi–Fangirl One of my favorite YA novels needed to appear on this list. I love Cath and Levi becau...

Top Ten Tuesday - Top Ten Historical

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! Our Host is Jana @thatartsyreadergirl . Every week, readers gather and respond to the topic of  the week. This week, we are talking about Top Ten Books in our favorite genre. I love The Classics, YA of all kinds minus Horror and Mystery, and Historical. I choose Historical as I talk about Classics and YA a lot on this blog. These are in no order, just as they came to me. 1- Romanov  by Nadine Brandes I read this Anastasia retelling in nineteen days when it came out. I loved this book so much! About half the novel was the Romanov’s in exile, and their life in a house where they couldn’t do that much. As the story progresses, we see that Nastya is a spell master, so this is how Fantasy is sprinkled in with the Historical Fiction to tell a new story. I loved all aspects of this novel, even the ones that were sad, and almost caused me to throw this book across the room. I will review this book later on this month. I recommend this for any...
