1.iPad 2 Gold History Edition

This one is definitely at the more expensive end of this list – you would need £5 million to get your hands on this diamond encursted iPad with a 24 carat gold Apple logo.

Designer Stuart Hughes is known for turning Apple products into ridiculously expensive gadgets – the 53 individually placed gems in this one are bound to attract bling lovers.

2. A hovercraft

Yes, we thought we’d start you off with one of the more ridiculous toys out there. For a very reasonable price of around £112,000 you could have your very own hovercraft to send you flying over land and water at up to 70 mph.

This insanely expensive half-boat half-flying-car is actually available from Hammacher Schlemmer – so if you have a spare £100,000 then you can check it out.

3. iPhone 5 Black Diamond — $15 million

Made using 135 gram solid gold of 24 carat, the $15 million iPhone 5 Black Diamond took nine weeks to build. The chassis was inlaid with 600 white diamonds, while the Apple logo on the back boasts of 53 of these gems. Apart from these precious materials, this phone also utilizes sapphire in the screen.

The highlight of this black-and-gold iPhone 5 is the single, flawless black deep-cut diamond that has replaced the home button. Weighing 26-carat, this black diamond belonged to a Chinese business man who commissioned this phone from luxury product maker Stuart Hughes.

4. Camael Diamonds iPad — $1.2 million

Diamonds are a girl’s best friends, goes the saying. How about a diamond-encrusted iPad worth $1.2 million? This gadget is crafted with 18-carat gold and has 300-carat diamonds on the back. The Home button in the front and the Apple logo on the back are made using black diamonds. Made by Camael London, this gadget weighs over 1kg.

5. Ecosse Titanium Series FE Ti XX Motorcycle: $300,000

Yes, there is the $555,000 Dodge Tomahawk that can compete as the world’s most expensive motorcycle. But it technically has four wheels! Many have christened the Ecosse Titanium Series FE Ti XX Motorcycle as the world’s most expensive motorcycle. It gives other motorbikes a run for their money with its price tag of $300,000 and a high-end titanium chassis fit with carbon fiber wheels. This motorcycle also delivers 210-foot pounds of pure torque.

6. The Emperor Chair

We’ve written about this before but it’s just hard to get over how epic ‘The Emperor Chair’ sounds, right? Just imagine sitting in a £12,700 chair with five PC monitors held up by the “scorpian tail”.

The Emperor Chair (yes you have to say the full name every time) supposedly provides total office comfort, has a built-in Bose sound system and, let’s face it, is just undeniably awesome. this one is for the secret film villain inside all of us.

7. 201-carat gold watch

Take a guess – how many diamonds do you think feature on this watch? 50, 100? Oh no – it’s actually a whopping 874 diamonds. Underneath it’s just a watch, there’s no other functionality other than telling the time. We’re willing to bet than it feels pretty heavy on your wrist.

Due to the number of diamonds we’re sure you won’t be surprised to hear the price tag – this is available for almost £15 million.

8. A killer whale submarine boat

Some millionaires might have a boat – but you? Oh you have something on a whole different level. This is what all the rich and famous want – at least it should be anyway.

For around £59,000 you could have a killer whale submarine boat, or a shark boat – basically you can have the king of boats.

Seabreacher claims to build the ‘ultimate diving machines’ and we’re inclined to believe them. In these you can dive, roll, jump and just generally do water acrobatics – all while looking like one of the most majestic creatures of the ocean. Sign me up now.

9. The BBQ boat

This isn’t just any boat – oh no – this is a 10-seater, built-in barbeque grill boat for floating parties. There’s storage, an umbrella to shade you from all that blazing sun (because obviously you’ll be somewhere far sunnier if you win the lottery) and a motor to take you out to where ever you want to be.

The motor on this expensive gadget has four rechargeable batteries too, so there’s not much of a time limit on how long you can spend in one of these in a day. £30,000 well spent? Maybe, just maybe.

10. Bulletproof air-conditioned suit

If you have a spare £1.9 million then

Tweet this!

this suit is bound to make you feel like a total James Bond. This is on our list as surely anything with built-in air conditioning counts as a gadget – it’s certainly more than just a suit.

It’s diamond encrusted – 880 black diamonds to be precise – made with bulletproof fabric, and has steel, black diamond encrusted buttons. The lining of the suit is even designed by an artist from Costa Rica. Just imagine wearing this and sitting in the ‘Emperor Chair’.

11. A disappearing swimming pool

This is the James Bond of pools – to match your suit of course. Certain gadgets like this actually make quite a lot of sense though – this pool disappears when you’re not using it to reduce the risk of someone falling in. So you wouldn’t have to worry about your kids running around the pool.

It’ll still cost you – around £40,000 to be precise – but it would also look nice in your mountain surrounded mansion, right? Go on, splash out – you and your beautiful world need this.

12. A giant robot warrior

So that when the apocolypse hits, or robots take over the world – you have the ultimate weapon. These are totally customisable too, so they can be camoflaged, have water guns installed in the hands, or you could even be practical and have it made into a house-cleaning pro.

That’s right, your own robot warrior would cost you just £785,800 – a small price to pay for such amazing technology surely?! We actually think this looks pretty terrifying, especially when you consider that this is one of the most expensive gadgets on this list.

13. The Kohler Numi Toilet System: $6,400

For the rich and powerful, it is not enough to take care of your excretions through normal means. The Kohler Numi breaks all boundaries when it comes to toilet systems with this contraption worth $6,400. This unit has a touchscreen interface and a smart bidet for easier cleaning. The seat is also heated and there is a vent underneath that blows warm air for additional comfort.

14. Victorinox 1TB Swiss Army Knife: $3,000

We know Swiss knives should be everything you need in a nice and neat package. With the advent of the digital revolution, why not include a thumb drive with it? This is the new feature of the upcoming Victorinox 1TB Swiss Army Knife. Yes, that’s one terabyte of data storage in a little bundle in the comforts of your pocket.

For practical purposes, the USB 2.0 thumb drive can be detached from the Swiss Knife so that there won’t be a dangling hazard each time you have to transfer files. But for a thumb drive with a few practical knives and features, are you really willing to shell out $3,000?

15. A Dark Knight home cinema

I suppose this is a combination of gadgets, but the end result is just incredible. Your luxury mountain-surrounded mansion with secret swimming pool, bulletproof suit and Emperor Chair just isn’t complete with a Dark Knight home cinema (do tell us when we’re getting too carried away).

Built at a cost of around £1.2 million, this Batman themed cinema has a 180 inch screen – framed with Batsuits, obviously – and has a stainless steel life and secret escape tunnel. The best bit about it – the company behind it all has created Star Wars and Titanic-themed home cinemas too. You could basically have whatever you want.

The Apple Watch 2 represents the true litmus test for Apple's wearable plans. The original Apple Watch has been accepted by Apple fans, and tech-savvy consumers - but the Apple Watch 2 will need to cater to a much broader audience.

Here are the latest rumors and speculations.

Apple Watch 2 will launch with iPhone 7

Latest rumors suggest that the iPhone 7 is going to share the stage with the Apple Watch 2 at some point in September. As per a report by Mark Gurman on 9to5mac, the next Apple Watch will be unveiled in September in the same event as the next iPhone. Before that, Apple is likely to have an Apple Watch-only event in March, where a range of new finishes and bands are expected.

Apple Watch 2: Design

After the initial release of the Apple Watch, the company launched more bands and finishes later and rumours indicate it will expand the range even further in March 2016.

There is a possibility that the Apple Watch design will remain basically unchanged, but it could become slightly thinner. In addition, it's likely that Apple will increase its IPX7 waterproof standard to an IP67 rating.

Apple Watch 2: Price

The most expensive 42mm Watch is priced at $949 and the 42mm Watch Edition is priced at $9,500 with a selection of mid-range variations. Each model of the Apple Watch features the same internal hardware, so it's probable that the new models will use different, more premium cases and strap materials.

Apple Watch 2: Features and specs

Along with new features such as more clock faces and a Time Travel function, watchOS 2 also gives Apple Watch far more independence from a paired iPhone. Presently, the Apple Watch relies on a paired iPhone for everything

Reports reveal the results of Apple research which shows that Watch owners finished the day with around 30% to 40% of battery left on their smartwatches. Remarkably, the Apple Watch 2 is likely to have similar battery life suggesting that Apple wants its users to continue charging their watches everyday.

People getting burned. People getting beat. People getting blown up (by the cops no less). People losing body parts.

And Penguin doing what he did to Butch? Wow. Didn't see that one coming.

Gotham Season 2 Episode 5 was certainly bloody, but I'm glad Penguin finally found a way to out-scheme Galavan so he can rescue his mother. If his plan works, that is.
Gertrud needs to be saved. Penguin is losing his mind and becoming crazier, especially to have chopped off Butch's arm. He's really getting desperate, and being used as Galavan's "tool" is getting old.

Besides, Butch has been really twitchy lately,and I get the feeling that sooner rather than later it's not going to bode well for Penguin. I'm a bit curious about that twitchiness, though. What does it mean?

Is the conditioning Zsasz did to Butch wearing off? Or is there something more diabolical happening here? Like Fish coming back (it was talked about this hour)? Wouldn't that be a hoot seeing Fish face her repackaged self?

Galavan is still not that intimidating, though. Boring is more like it. I'd love to see Fish point her gnarly finger at him and slap him across the face for being so boring.

As I said in my review of Gotham Season 2 Episode 4, Galvan is just one lucky bastard. Always at the right place at the right time. Always. But he plays the part well.

You have to give him that. He certainly has all of Gotham fooled. Especially Jim, who just may have made a deal with the real devil this time when he agreed to endorse Galavan for mayor after Garrett is killed.

Why is Jim so blind and where are his cop senses? Shouldn't he have "feelings" about this guy? I mean, Galavan is just too convenient. I actually believe that Bullock is going to be the one to figure it all out. The hairs on the back of his neck are already rising when he sees this guy.

It was also interesting to find out Galavan may only be a puppet in his big production. Father Creel seems to have a bit more authority than good ole Galavan. I'm actually looking forward to seeing how this all plays out. I'd love for Galavan to turn out to be somebody's lackey.

Still, the whole backstory of why the Galavans are seeking blood seems a bit contrived...and stale. It's a story we've heard a hundred times before: girl gets into a tryst with a forbidden lover, gets caught, lies, and the lover gets punished. Yawn and double yawn.

Why wait 200 years to seek vengeance, anyway? It certainly doesn't seem fair that all these "warriors" are coming to take down a 13-year-old boy who's the last of his clan. Wouldn't it have been better to have killed Bruce in front of his parents and then killed his parents?

And it's pretty obvious these "warriors" are planning to use the very knife that maimed their ancestor to maim and kill Bruce. Otherwise, why steal it in the first place? It all seems rather obvious.

I also thought the whole Firefly story was a bit contrived and disappointing. The promos were a lot more exciting than what we actually saw this hour. Instead of a big bad villain, we got a Cinderella story in disguise. Instead of an evil stepmother, we got three evil and abusive stepbrothers. And, instead of a fairy godmother, we got Selina Kyle.

How can we even believe that Bridgit will be an effective villain when she is wrought with stupidity and meekness? She couldn't even figure out what to do after she lit the fuse. She just stood there waiting for her brother's instructions. Every action she took when setting those explosives was dictated by her brothers.

When she lost contact with them, she froze instead of doing something simple, like running, to save her own skin. She did the same stupid stuff the next night. Unfortunately, this time, she killed a cop while her brothers ran off. Fortunately, though, her fairy godmother was present to save her ass and help her escape. Wasn't that convenient? Another character always in the right place at the right time.

Why are women so lame in Gotham? That's a rant for another day.

One other thing I have to point out is something I mentioned in the beginning of the piece: the violence. I'm not really sure all of it was necessary. The scene with Evan Pike? Was it just too convenient that he happened to stuff a plastic explosive down his pants while shopping at The Merc? And was it really necessary for both Jim and Barnes to not only chase this guy down, but shoot him multiple times because he pulled out a gun?

The slo-mo of him getting shot before he blows up was way over the top. Even for Gotham. And the kicker? When Jim gets home to Lee's dinner party, he acts like nothing out-of-the-ordinary happened. Now, that's cold.

Though a dark and violent episode, "Scarification" stayed consistent, for the most part, throughout the hour. It didn't have me on the edge of my seat, but it intrigued me enough to want to continue watching to see what happens next.

After the previous episode's teasing, this week's The Walking Dead is a feast of violence... Before reading this review,you can watch entire episode here : -http://dayt.se/forum/showthread.php?6805-The-Walking-Dead-Season-6-Episode-2-Download-S06E02-1080p-Streaming-Subtitles

The Walking Dead's best character has been Carol Peletier, and it's been that way for a couple of seasons now. She started out as the happy homemaker—the very role she's playing around Alexandria—taking canned food or raw game and making it palatable for finicky modern taste buds. Carol is consistently showing off the skills she learned in the years before the apocalypse, from making cookies without refined sugar to turning celery soup into something edible via the magic of paprika and water chestnuts. She's worked a little of that kitchen magic on herself, too, transforming from a meek mouse into a wolf in sheep's clothing, as dangerous and deadly as the gang of attackers scaling Alexandria's walls.

After Carol's impromptu cooking lesson, the episode lingers on some domestic drama. After all, Rick executed a guy in front of the town last season, and they haven't seen that type of behaviour at all. Jessie is dealing with a cranky teenager with a knit cap, Eugene and Tara are hanging out with the new doctor Denise Cloyd (Merritt Wever), and Maggie and Who The Hell Is Deanna are discussing expanding the town, planting crops, and restoring some normality to the town. Then Molotov cocktails start flying over the grate and everything quite literally devolves into screaming, stabbing, and shattering. Thanks to good luck, careful wall manufacturing, and skillful diplomacy, Alexandria has been spared conflict, but they're about to get their first bloody nose, and it comes at the hand of a group of survivors so horrible that even Rick and his gang will be hard-pressed to handle them: the Wolves. Or, Rick and his gang would be hard-pressed to handle them, if they were there. Instead, it's Rick's B-team, plus Carol, who have to turn back the attacking horde of raggedy rapists and limb-choppers. Splitting Rick's group up usually pays dividends, and this episode is no different. You separate the folks up a little bit and give them some new Alexandrians to play off of, and you see what happens. After all, Rick's mission is really important, so it makes sense there wouldn't be a lot of other people left behind. Having untested Alexandrians left Rick's group vulnerable; being outnumbered leaves Carol's group vulnerable. At any point in the first episode, someone other than Ethan Embry could have died; this week, anyone from the group of Carol, Eugene, Carl, Tara, Rosita, or Maggie could die. Fortunately, they have Carol, and that's all you really need.

First Time Again was a lot of teasing. Zombies shuffled on and off the path, and at any moment you felt like everything could boil over. The sounding horn was just the thing needed to lure thousands of undead to a delicious dinner of canned Alexandrian. JSS is a feast of violence. From the moment the Wolves show up to do their thing, there's nothing but fight scenes, building up to fight scenes, or fleeing from fight scenes while people get chopped up. It's awesome, because Carol gets to do the thing she's best at and Morgan gets to put his stick-fighting skills to good use (plus a bonus Carl not staying in the house). In the hands of director Jennifer Lynch (who worked with Seth Gilliam on Teen Wolf and directed episode 5.14 Spend from last year), Carol becomes the lead character in an action video game. She skulks behind coverage, watching chaos all around her, but only striking when the time to strike is right. She'll gun down four Wolves in a row while on the move, stab another Wolf from behind, and much like she did in last season's staggering premiere episode, No Sanctuary, she does it all from behind a disguise. Sure, the Alexandrians might be figuring out that Carol is a bad-ass in disguise, but she needs the element of surprise, particularly when Morgan is doing dumb things like letting raiders live. I'm not sure what Morgan's game is, and Seth Hoffman's script doesn't make it clear, either. He's all about giving people second and third chances. I'm not sure if that's because of his time as a crazy person or because he needed a second chance after that, so he's giving other folks an opportunity to redeem themselves. There seemed to be some kind of recognition between Morgan and some of the Wolves, though. Their paths must have crossed at some point, aside from finding the occasional severed zombie head with a W carved into it. Morgan's kindness is weakness, and I think we've been through enough to realize that letting anyone get away from Alexandria is probably a bad idea, but... maybe it's also a good idea?

Consider it: if you send a force of troops out and they never return from the target, maybe they mutinied, maybe they got eaten by zombies, maybe they just all caught dysentery from bad canned goods. If you send out a force and a few stragglers return, beaten and bloodied with tales of the black Shaolin monk and the middle-aged Housefrau Rambo who killed or clobbered a dozen hardened killers between them, what's more likely to have you sending out reinforcements or another raiding party? A clean sweep might bring doom; survivors might bring a little respite. Of course, looking at this through the lens of television, I know that survivors alive means the Wolves will come in force and attempt to take (or just take) Alexandria, assuming the horde of zombies doesn't get there first. That's the best thing about how this season has been unfolding. All the while Rick and company are struggling to keep the town safe, it's getting attacked. Just when Carol feels like it's safe to exhale, there's a horde of thousands of zombies headed right towards them. Tension, explosion... another explosion? Out of the frying pan and everyone's on fire?

The Vikings gave us a lot of words that we use in common English. I saw it on a Horrible Histories once so it’s true. One of them was ‘happy’. That’s fortunate, because it’s a great word to apply to ‘The Girl Who Died’ – 45 minutes of Saturday-morning style fun that should make fans very happy indeed. With cartoonish vigour we’re dropped into the middle of an adventure, just as Neil Gaiman wanted us to be in ‘The Doctor’s Wife’ with The Beatles or Rain Gods, but had to cut for reasons of time. Here Jamie Mathieson gives us TARDIS console pyrotechnics, talk of battle, and Clara drifting through the void while an unseen creepy-crawly makes a bid for her delicious brain. As openers go, it’s the most impressive since ‘The Magician’s Apprentice’.

Then we’re set down in a Viking village so far in the backwater that they haven’t heard that Vikings didn’t actually wear horns on their helmets. Without sonic sunnies to hide behind, Peter Capaldi’s Doctor does a top Tom Baker impersonation and whips out a familiar yo-yo. He’s softened since the last time he whipped it out in Season 8’s ‘Kill the Moon’, hasn’t he? The Heavens open, and in yo-yo the Mire (another Viking word, etymology fans): a deadly race who, like a militant Tropicana, have come to squeeze only the ripest warriors for their manly juices, with no bits in. What follows might rankle those who sat stony-faced during ‘Robot of Sherwood’, as we get a Viking version of Dad’s Army with The Doctor as Captain Mainwaring to a Homestead Guard of incompetents.

And then it becomes Home Alone as The Doctor works out a plan involving electric eels, some anvils, a ‘rubbish’ figurehead and a feasting hall. Compared to recent episodes, The Mire’s defeat is a pleasingly simple solution, But they’re simple villains; essentially tinned Sontarans or Judoon. And anyway, it’s not really about baddies this week is it? Just like The Doctor, your attention’s split between a straightforward foe and a mysterious girl. It’s a thesis for another time, but even through other writers Moffat likes to make a mystery of women, doesn’t he? River, Clara, Missy… Now Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams continues the tradition. Ashildr believes in the power of stories. That’s another Moffatism right there: the power of stories. From ‘Silence in the Library’ all the way to ‘The Angels Take Manhattan’ and the many chapters in between. It’s a sign of Maisie Williams’ envied natural talent that she lifts Ashildr above being convenience or novelty. Were it not her in the role – and had the significance of her character not been so unsubtly telegraphed by trailers – the episode would have risked being as lightweight as that other immortality tale ‘The Doctor’s Daughter’.

This show has such a raging boner for evil children. Admittedly, evil children are terrifying. Even non-evil children are pretty spooky. Buzzfeed did a whole list of creepy stuff children innocently decided to share with their parents. It was pure nightmare fuel.

The Mark of Cain birthmark gave Amara's status away at the end of last week's premiere, but one question still remained: was Amara evil through and through or merely the unwilling vessel for an ancient supernatural force? "Form and Void" attempted to address that and right now it looks like eeeeeeevil is the name of the game. Amara eats souls. How nice. Does this mean we can count on a reappearance of our dear Souless Sam? Probably not, but it's nice to hope. Between this soul stuff and last week's references to Luci and Mike losing their shit in the cage, the odds are in our favor for Sam Winchester to get a little blotto on crazy... not that "Form and Void" had any shortage of that.

It looks like Psychic Sam is a thing again. Sort of. He's at a loss for how to cure the Darkness infestation, watching civilian after civilian die a grotesque and disgusting death, and possibly hallucinating (and possibly not hallucinating) a reaper named Billie who promised to toss Sam and Dean into non-existence the next time one of them died because everyone on Death's payroll is getting really sick of their resurrection antics. Harsh. In fact, it's Billie's harshness that leads me to fall on the hallucination side of the debate. From Tessa to Death himself, we've seen nothing but begrudging respect and admiration from the reaper crowd towards the Winchesters. Death's compliments may have been laced with condescension and irritation, but he still showed up to reap Sam personally after the whole trials fiasco and gave the forever self-loathing boy with the demon blood a genuine compliment.

Then again, Dean did kill Billie's boss.

A lot of what Billie said though heavily invoked Sam's greatest fears and well-documented issues with self worth and identity. Sam Winchester admitted to feeling "unclean" when he was a freaking preschooler. The dude has issues and I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that he was projecting those issues at the height of the Darkness' influence over him. So, I'm just not buying Billie's spiel, but I will admit that if her promise to deny Dean and Sam Heaven OR Hell in the afterlife was true, well, that would certainly make things interesting as we move forward. I won't be mad.

While Sam figured out that borderline self-immolation with holy fire will totally clear up that pesky zombie rabies, Dean took Jenna to her grandmother's house and then came running back once Amara started spelling creepy demands for food with building blocks, levitating baby swag, and oh yeah, eating everyone's soul. R.I.P. JENNA. Welcome to the legions of women Supernatural has killed just because. And no, slapping Hannah in a male meatsuit didn't make that angel sword to the face any better. This issue has been raised year after year. It's well documented old news. JUST STOP IT, SHOW. STOP.

Supernatural has such weird issues with women. I'm not going to rant, I promise, because I've ranted so many times in the past (and so has half the Internet) but the fact that Supernatural only really offers two flavor of female: sainted Mother Mary and then everyone else—and regardless, they're all dead anyway—is just sad and a little bit funny in a terrible way. In other news, I'm still bitter about Charlie. OH, BUT BECKY THE HUMAN PARODY IS STILL ALIVE.

I hate this show.

Lucky for Supernatural, I'm a TV masochist who wants to touch Jared Padalecki's butt, so it all works out. The usual dumb female problems aside, "Form and Void" picked up where "Out of the Darkness, Into the Fire" left off and gave shape to the amorphous plot point that the Darkness and Amara presented. It also didn't waste anymore time tormenting Castiel at the hands of the prep-school angel boys, finally reuniting him with his precious, precious Winchesters. MORE PLEASE.

POSTCARDS FROM THE ROAD

– I was so confused about the "candy" Crowley was offering to tween-Amara and then it clicked and I laughed because I love when this show is twisted, demented, and kind of sick.

– I just need Dean to be constantly holding a baby—even an evil baby. Because reasons.

– What do you think? Was Billie real or imagined?

– If only the oldest archangels know what the Darkness is/was, then how the heck does Cas know?

– I actually forgot Metatron was still out there.

– Can we not have Dean develop weird emotional attachments to soul-eating demon babies/ killer Amazonian fruits of his loins? He already has enough surrogate daddy issues with Sammich.

– Father Crowley was great.

– So now that Castiel is back in the Winchesters' club house, can he get an actual storyline started or are we just going to keep doing the homicidal-maniac-punching-bag routine?

– Is Sam communing with God or just having a stroke or something?

One show ends with a giant zombie horde attack, the other show begins by attempting to avoid the same fate. If you ever wanted some ammunition to compare the first season of Fear The Walking Dead to the sixth season of The Walking Dead, this is it. One has one of the largest cities in the world depicted as mostly empty. The other has a tiny town in the suburbs of Washington DC beset by what appears to be thousands of zombies milling around in a gravel pit, shambling down a road, and smashing recklessly into haphazardly-built retaining walls. One's the best-performing new show in cable history, and the other is five seasons of being the biggest, most-watched show on cable, breaking history with every season debut. At some point, walker fatigue will have to set in, but it doesn't seem to be happening any time soon and the opening episode of The Walking Dead's sixth season won't hasten that decline.

Rick took control of Alexandria last season. He knows how to survive, and his people know how to fight, and it's up to them to keep Alexandria safe. As experienced walker-killers, they know that the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray. After a brief reminder of Rick's fateful words last season, we jump from black and white to colour, with a whole mass of zombies hanging out in what looks like an old quarry. There's some kind of plan afoot, and what was supposed to be a dry run of the plan becomes actually doing something with the plan. What that plan is, no one says. However, this gives Abraham a chance to channel Bill O'Reilly and announce, “We'll do it live!”

What they're doing is going to be explained over the course of the episode, as we get a slightly more linear combination of past and present, almost like Pulp Fiction style, but less so. The lead up to the big plan to get the zombies out of the pit and as far away from town as possible is intercut with the lead-up and preparation. It's a pretty bold plan: use Sasha, Abraham, and Daryl to lead a zombie parade out of the quarry (based on the real Bull Run Quarry according to my Virginian friend) and away from town, with walls of cars, sheet metal, and loud noises to keep the herd a herd and prevent the group from breaking up. All they have to do is lead them twenty or thirty miles away from town and everything will be fine. Right, because herding several thousand zombies out of a pit and away from Alexandria is a simple task, particularly when the only people you can trust to do it are your own people and the Alexandrians have little to no experience doing anything other than hiding behind walls.

Greg Nicotero is a master of visual direction, and it's not a surprise that he's getting debut duties yet again for The Walking Dead. His episodes have all been very good, and the impressive thing isn't the way he handles the visual aspect of directing—you'd expect that from a guy who knows how to make latex and corn syrup look like every possible combination of shredded body part—but the way he handles the actors. He's got a touch with the people in front of the camera, and I'm not sure it's because he's used to having a team at his disposal to work together, of if it's because he knows who he needs to work with and who he needs to leave alone to get good work out of them.

There's a lot of stuff at work this episode; Rick's group is still struggling to adapt to their new environment, and Deanna's people are still adjusting to having what is essentially a two-legged wolf pack in their midst, telling them what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. This is communicated quite well through body language and expression, and Nicotero's stylistic choice to use black-and-white for the flashbacks versus colour for the current events is a smart one. The thing that might need more spelling out is spelled out, for once. It helps keep things clear for those who might not be paying total attention during the episode, as a lot of folks are no doubt distracted by AMC's beloved two-screen experience.

One big difference between this season and previous seasons is that rather than telling us all this directly, they show it. Eugene stumbles across a plot by Caleb to dethrone Rick and kill him. Now, the fact that Eugene can sneak up on someone is in and of itself proof that these people are incapable of survival on their own. To make matters worse, they don't have a guard posted outside to keep an eye out for, you guessed it, Rick. Unsurprisingly, Rick and the gang bust in and catch Caleb holding a gun on Eugene and, rather than just shooting Caleb, as Rick probably would have a few weeks previously, he lets Caleb live. Second chances, and all that. Glenn gives Nicholas a second chance. Sasha is claiming her second chance. Morgan... well, you know all he's been going through, and everyone's looking to prove it to the folks around them rather than simply saying they want a second chance and having it granted to them, or endlessly talking about who deserves what and why.

Another fun change is the way the show continues to develop a sense of humour. Daryl is always funny, but Abraham has turned into the show's king of one-liners. He cracks off several good ones this week, and his brand of crazy plays well with Sasha's brand of crazy in the script from Scott M. Gimple and Matthew Negrete. The interplay between Morgan and more familiar faces like Carol and Michonne is also brilliant. I loved Morgan's discussion with Michonne of the peanut butter protein bar, and the way Morgan can see right through Carol—and her reaction to that—was also a lot of fun.

There'll probably be some disagreement about this, but I like that Rick's plan works so well only for outside forces to screw it up for him. Alexandria's in no shape to repel such a large zombie horde (no place really is, in the real world or in this world) and that means something's going to have to get those zombies back on the right path, or Alexandria's going to find itself overrun. It sets up a fun episode for next week as Rick tries to figure out who ruined his plan while also trying to keep his new community from getting smothered under a layer of walker brains

Guess even when Brian is on NZT, juggling
various cases and assignments can still be a difficult task.Things do seem to wind up working out for him, but it’s nice to see that not everything is a simple breeze right away.And Limitless Season 1 Episode 4 tried to throw a variety of tasks at Brian to deal with. However, not all of those wound up being interesting or that engaging.The Zhang case was just boring, and I found myself not even really caring whether Rebecca and Boyle even completed that job. Sure, there were supposed to be some parallels with Brian stealing the NZT files from Naz, but the case sort of just became background noise.And wow, how ridiculous was it that the password was just one word. No numbers or symbols? C'mon, she's supposed to be a special agent and "mercy" is the password?But I was glad that Mr. Sands was already taking Brian to task, and it's interesting to learn why Eddie would even want those files. Good for Mr. Sands at not falling for Brian’s trick files, he definitely can hold his own against even an NZT user.It also was good to see Mr. Sands bring up some personal consequences, from Brian’s father not getting better to Brian not getting his booster shot. Things could get very bad for Brian (you know, like death) if he doesn’t play along.But even he isn’t just rolling over and doing whatever Mr. Sands/Eddie wants exactly. Sure, he got the files and would be giving them over, but not before reading them. It was a smart move on his part to get some extra knowledge on what the FBI has on NZT.That revealed a brief tidbit of info on Rebecca’s father’s involvement with NZT. And it may have been a bit more than just him using.I guess it was positive that Rebecca also got a chance to be able to connect with her father through his art, but it will be interesting to learn more about his past and his probable connection to Eddie.The most engaging case had to be the one involving the mouse. That definitely had more of a personal connection to Brian because he knew Arthur, and that made it seem far more important to viewers. Plus, even Brian was spending his time focusing on that case instead of his other tasks.It tried to be a little more twisty than it needed to be going from stealing info to killing for inheritance money, but I enjoy getting to see Brian passionately solve a case that means something to him.The most enjoyable part of the hour had to be Brian sneaking his way into Claxion. From his reaction to the alarm going off to using the mice as a diversion to texting Rebecca while escaping through the laundry chute, it all made the moment more fun than super serious.Even the two of them digging through trash explaining how they solved the case to the true killer showed their solid rapport and ability to get things done as a team.Their relationship and working together, whether it’s just casual chatting or discussing a case, is growing on me.This was a fair episode, even if not all of it worked or was exciting. However, it's clear that when the show chooses to have a little fun, it truly stands out.

It’s pretty cool when a guy shows up claiming that your world is in danger and you just take it all in stride based on what you’ve experienced so far as a super hero.

The Season 2 premiere explained exactly how the Flash and Firestorm managed to stop the singularity that threatened Central City during the Season 1 finale, but the victory came at a high cost. But that revelation might not be as big as what happened at the end of this season’s first episode, when Jay Garrick walked into the lives of Team Flash. He knows more than Barry Allen
does about the threat that’s coming for them, one that only has a one word name for now: Zoom.

In the finest DC Comics tradition, it appears we’re going to learn more about Jay’s world, Earth 2, tonight. Something tells me his knowledge might come in handy against a new villain as well. Let’s zoom (pun intended) into “The Flash of Two Worlds.”

Not-So-Fast Recap: Jay Garrick isn’t wasting any time. He gets right into his story: how he was the Flash on his own world, and that the singularity opened a breach between worlds that pulled him through.

Actually, his story gets better. He was fighting zoom, a demon of speed with a face of death. Zoom had him beaten, but it was just then that the portal opened between worlds, pulling Jay through and stranding him. He lost his speed in the process, though he’s not sure why. Everyone seems a bit incredulous, especially Barry Allen, who says they will need to run some tests to see if his story checks out.

We find out pretty quickly that he’s telling the truth, as we see the portal open again and get our first glimpse of Zoom — who looks a lot like the Black Flash from the comics. He tells the man he drops off that all he has to do to get home is to kill the Flash. Oh, is that all?

While running some tests on Jay, Caitlin Snow asks him about his comic book-accurate origin. He was in his lab running some experiments on heavy water when he passed out, was briefly in a coma, and then woke to find he had super-speed. Jay says he’s been the Flash for about two years, and Caitlin seems delighted that he’s a fellow scientist.

Elsewhere in S.T.A.R. Labs, Professor Stein tries and fails to explain multiverse theory to Joe West. Once he leaves, Stein mentions the fact that if there is a portal between worlds still out there, they need to find it and close it for good.

Barry asks about the results of the tests on Jay, and Caitlin reports no sign of the Speed Force. He does, however, have regenerative abilities, and he also passed a lie detector test (that Jay didn’t know she ran, but hey). One person still isn’t convinced, and I’ll give you just one guess as to who that is.

At the police station, Joe meets an eager officer named Patty Spivot. She really, really wants to join his anti-metahuman task force, but Joe informs her that everyone has quit. Spivot presses on, explaining that she’s smart, in top physical condition and an expert marksman. Joe still plays party pooper and says no.

Poor Jay gets locked in the Pipeline, and while he says he understands, he gives Barry yet another warning about Zoom. And there’s a fire at the waterfront, so Barry has to run.

The Flash extinguishes the large fire with ease, but he’s soon attacked by a guy who can turn his body into sand. Later, Barry tells Joe they’re definitely dealing with a metahuman, and that the fire was arson. Patty is on the scene too, and she’s found some evidence that might be helpful. Strangely, she’s also a fan of Barry’s reports. A CSI groupie? Joe still turns her down for a spot on his mostly theoretical task force, and she asks Barry for advice on how to change his mind.

Caitlin and Iris observe a shirtless Jay, and Caitlin’s remark that she hasn’t noticed what a physical specimen he is doesn’t sound too convincing. #SnowJay? Just saying …

Jay tells the S.T.A.R. Labs team that he knows about the metahuman they’re facing, because he’s fought the guy on his own world. Cisco likes the name Jay gave the villain — Sand Demon — but Barry rejects Jay’s suggestion that he knows how to stop the metahuman, snipping that, “I don’t need you to teach me anything.” Sorry Jay, nack to your cell!

Stein has been working on a theory for how to track the portal, and Cisco likes it. But while examining a sample of the sand the Sand Demon left behind, Cisco is struck by one of his visions, and he can see the Flash-Sand Demon confrontation. Meanwhile, the cops have identified the guy they think set the fire, and Joe arrives at his 20 (that’s cop talk!) to find Patty has already caught the guy.

Joe tries to get the guy they’ve collared, Slick, to admit to the arson. He says he’s innocent, and when they accuse him of being a metahuman, Joe discovers he has an alibi for the night of the particle accelerator accident. Outside the interrogation room, Barry and Patty are hitting it off (hmm …), but eventually, Barry has to face up to the fact that it might be a doppleganger that they’re seeking.

It’s now Barry versus everyone else when it comes to trusting Jay. Iris asks for a moment alone with our hero, and she knows what the problem is: Jay reminds Barry of Harrison Wells. She’s not wrong, of course, and Iris points out that while the rest of Team Flash will follow his lead, they’ll stop if he stops giving them reason to believe in him.

At the station, Joe turns Slick loose. He returns a moment later and … oh crap, that’s the other Slick, the one who can turn to sand. Patty finds bullets don’t stop him, and the Sand Demon kidnaps her.

Grudgingly, Barry releases Jay from the Pipeline, and Garrick has an idea for how to stop the bad guy. He’s going to teach Barry to throw the lightning he generates while running. Because, you know, lightning will turn sand to glass. Barry also reassures a worried Joe that he’ll do whatever it takes to get Patty back safe. Don’t worry about her, because even though Sand Demon has built a concussive bomb to use on Patty when the Flash arrives, she’s still talking smack to him. Spunky, that one.

Since the good guys are having no luck finding Sand Demon, Cisco figures maybe he can use his weird visions to help. He returns to the sand sample and sure enough, he can see exactly where Patty is being held. Stein catches him in the act, but Cisco claims it’s just a hunch.

Barry is suited up trying to master the technique Jay is teaching him, but it’s not working. And we get to the heart of the matter: Barry telly Jay that the last mentor he had was actually evil (true), but Jay says he’s not that guy (also true!). Cisco bursts in saying he knows where Sand Demon is and that he might use a concussive bomb to slow Barry. Jay confirms that the villain did the same thin on his world, so Barry proposes using Jay as bait since Sand Demon doesn’t know he’s lost his speed. Garrick still has his speed, but not his helmet. Wait, you guys found it?

(As an aside, Jay says the helmet belonged to his dad during the War of Americas, implying that history is different on his world.)

It’s showdown time! As Jay confronts Sand Demon and gets beat up for his trouble, Barry barely gets Patty clear. The villain cackles as he thinks of the opportunity to kill the Flash of two worlds … but naturally, our Flash is able to create a vortex to stop Sand Demon from choking Jay with his sand arm, and he’s able to hurl lightning that turns the bad guy to glass, which shatters when he hits the ground.

Back at S.T.A.R. Labs, Caitlin admires Jay for his bravery, and when he mentions that it’s harder than he thought, losing something that was such a big part of his life, she knows of what he speaks. They seem to be bonding quickly, no? And what about her line that, “You just have to find a new way to live,” eh?

Barry apologizes to Jay and thanks him for his patience. As they joke about the nicknames the people gave them, Jay turns serious when he talks about Zoom, saying that he will stop at nothing to become the only speedster left on any world.

Joe asks Patty why she really wants to join the task force, and she has a secret: Mark Mardon killed her dad. She doesn’t think it’s fair that someone like that would get super powers, and she wants to do whatever is necessary to stop others of his ilk. As you might guess, that gets her on the task force. Don’t be late on Monday! As Joe goes to leave, he gets an unexpected visitor, who happens to be his ex-wife.

There’s someone else with a secret, and Stein asks Cisco to level with him. He comes clean on what’s happening to him (“I get a vibe … “), but he’s adamant that Stein not tell anyone. After all, it was Thawne who claimed to have given him his abilities, and everything he did was evil.

Their research has yielded results, but they’re less than ideal. There’s not just one breach, but 52 breaches all over the Central City area. No sooner does Stein drop that bomb than he collapses. Uh-oh.

We get one final scene. On a world that’s definitely not the main one, we see a tour group walking through S.T.A.R. Labs, and the excited guide tells everyone that they’re about to meet the savior of Central City, Harrison Wells!

Favorite Moment: Lots of cool stuff tonight, from the origin of Jay Garrick to the 52 portals and the beginnings of the origin of Vibe. This series always comes correct with comic book references, but this episode might have topped all of them to date. Still, the best one came right after Sane Demon was defeated, as Patty called out for Flash, both Barry and Jay said they were coming. They just happened to be on opposite sides of a brick wall, just like the classic cover to The Flash #123 you can see up above. Priceless.

Final Thought: Another strong episode to follow the very good Season 2 premiere. I trust the writers to shift away from the “Earth 2 villain of the week” formula soon, perhaps as soon as next week when Captain Cold re-enters the picture. I can’t be the only one hoping Jay gets his speed back, and I can’t wait to see if the alternate Wells becomes a regular soon.

I'm so done playing the "Can I trust Simon" game.

On Quantico Season 1 Episode 3, most of the hour was spent trying to figure out whether or not you could trust Simon. Basically, you changed your mind about fifty times. It got annoying real fast.

There's only so much flip flopping a person can take. At least one of the fake outs needed to be cut out. For instance Simon could have warned Alex that he was going to signal the alarm. At least now, hopefully, we know that we cannot trust Simon...probably. Sigh.

The bombshell that Simon got kicked out of Quantico was nicely done. Now, we have something to watch for in the Quantico scenes. But, there's a new wrinkle to this "fact" that we got.

Simon was called "Agent Asher" by Liam's boss. This suggests that getting kicked out of Quantico was all a rouse, most likely set up by the person who framed Alex. If I'm correct in that theory, this helps to show just how far someone has gone to frame Alex, and it suggests that it came from higher up in the FBI. It wasn't a NAT or analyst in training who did it, but someone who has probably been at the FBI awhile.

Alex: All this time and I still don't know who the real Simon Asher is.
Simon: Nobody is ever just one thing.

Considering the continued focus on Liam's involvement with Alex's father, Michael, it wouldn't be surprising if somehow the frame up is connected to Alex's father or if the story that Alex's dad was a decorated agent was a lie. We are only three episodes in, and if there is one thing I've learned, it's that absolutely nothing and no one is what they seem.

What was the point of Alex's mom, Sita, being there? Sorry, but it seemed doubtful that Sita's statement would make any difference whatsoever. If you are one of the FBI agents who believes Alex is a cold blooded terrorist, why would her mom making an emotional appeal have an effect on Alex's actions?

With all these characters, there are bound to be some you just don't care about. Natalie is one of them. Sorry, sweetie, but I don't care about you at all. Okay, yes the reveal that she can't talk to her kid was sad, but it doesn't make me interested in her. Her feud with Nimah/Reyna wasn't interesting, either.

Then there's the drama with Miranda and her son. Yawn. While it was great that she tried to prevent Sita from making the same mistake she did with her son, there's zero excitement there for me. I don't care.

The only way I might start to care is if her son follows through on the indirect threat he made when he told his mom that he was getting released from prison. "I'll see you soon, Mom." Miranda, I hope you sleep with your gun.

Shelby: You reach a river in the forest. Do you cross it or g
Nimah: I would have checked the map first.
o around?

Caleb and Shelby are just strange. I never really shipped them, so all of their interactions are just strange and kinda awkward. Was I supposed to fall in love with them in Quantico Season 1 Episode 1? Did I miss that memo?

However, Shelby's friendship with Alex is one of my favorite parts of the show. It's great to see them open up and trust each other, even after being at each other's throats all day. It allows us to get to know both them better. Plus, in a highly competitive situation where everyone is only looking out for themselves, it's nice to know that some people are capable of making friends. It's a change up from the constant suspicion and doubt.

What did you think of "Cover"? Who do you think framed Alex? Leave me your thoughts and theories in a comment below.

The Doctor breaking the fourth wall was fun, and yes I Googled "bootstrap paradox."

Let's blame the wibbily wobbly timey wimey stuff for any plot holes that left us confused or failed to connect the dots. Doctor Who Season 9 Episode 4 is just one of those instances where you have to go with the flow. Don't try to make too much sense of it all, or you'll drive yourself nuts. Was it entertaining? Okay, then that's what counts.

That said, the ghost hologram was a tad predictable, and I'm over the sonic shades.

Basically, the Ludwig van Beethoven analogy was meant to illustrate the time travel theory running through this episode. The Doctor went back in time to change events and altered the deadly outcome at the base. Of course, he only did it to save Clara. Everyone else was pretty much dispensable.

Isn't the Doctor supposed to "save people"? Yeah yeah, fixed points in time and all that. I've got to say, I would have loved to see more of fangirl O’Donnell. Her little freak out was super fun to witness. “It’s bigger on the inside!” she squeed. Can you imagine yourself in her shoes dear Whovian? Wow!

After spending time in the claustrophobic underwater base, it was terrific to see the Doctor, O'Donnell and Lunn walking through the town before the flood. They quickly came to the mysterious spaceship/hearse, and the body lying outside the suspended animation chamber made me wonder if it ever made it inside at all. Yes, I had a feeling the Doctor might pop out of it in the future, but it was fun to watch nonetheless.

Prentis was an irritating little fellow. Not what I expected after meeting his ghost.

The Doctor: What are you doing here?
Prentis: Ah yes, of course. This is the Fisher King. He and his armies invaded Tivoli and enslaved us for 10 glorious years.

The alien undertaker's goofy nature was a clear sign he had nothing to do with the ghost transmissions. Back on the base, Clara received a call from the Doctor who soon learned his "ghost" materialized in the future. As I mentioned in my review for Doctor Who Season 9 Episode 3, having 12 regenerate was highly unlikely. Still, the ghost hologram was a bit of a cop out.

The Fisher King certainly was an impressive monster, and Corey Taylor's (Slipknot) roar was bone-chilling. Even his voice later on in the installment worked well. Yeah, the creative team nailed this big bad. I wonder if we'll see his species again?

The Doctor chatting with his ghost self was super amusing.

Doctor, such an honor. I've always been a huge admirer. This is really a delight. Finally, someone worth talking to.
The Doctor

I like that the Doctor needed to know exactly what his ghost was doing so he could program it in the past. Of course, when and how he got his hologram looking like the other ghosts wasn't explained.

O'Donnell should have definitely stayed in the TARDIS. Yeah, the Doctor realized what the list meant and tried to keep her there. Lunn called him out though, and it was clever the way he put two and two together. Will changing history now come back to haunt the Doctor? Perhaps he won't be able to save Clara next time, leading to the loss of his companion. Boy, is that going to be emotional.

When O'Donnell's ghost walked off with the iPhone, all I could think was, "I hope Apple is paying a pretty penny for the product placement." There's nothing subtle about Clara's phone this season. Traveling back in time just a half hour confused me. What happened to the original group? If the Doctor's stuck in a causality loop, wouldn't these same events repeat endlessly? I let it slide, it's not worth the headache. Besides, the episode was fun-filled enough not to sweat the details.

One thing that was explained was that Lunn never looked at the alien writing, which is why the ghosts didn't try to kill him. The poor fool was sent on a mission to retrieve the phone. The scene with Moran's ghost following Cass and dragging the ax was far scarier, though. Actually, it was probably one of the creepiest scenes I can recall in recent seasons. The use of sound and lack of sound was brilliant.

You robbed those people of their deaths. Made them nothing more than a message in a bottle. You violated something more important than time. You bent the rules of life and death. So I am putting things straight. Here. Now. This is where your story ends.
The Doctor

In the end, the Doctor tricked the creature blowing the dam and causing the flood. The scene was wonderfully rendered. I thought it looked fantastic. That was the end of the Fisher King and his chamber opened in the future to reveal the Doctor. I could have done without the WiFi and sonic shades explanation. It seems like they're going to stick around for a while, but I'm not crazy about them.

When the Doctor told Clara the Fisher King had been dead for 150 years, and he, himself, became part of the events that brought us full circle to the Beethoven intro. “Reverse engineering the narrative” was a nice way of telling us don't worry about the little inconsistencies, guys. It's all good, the Doctor saved the day. That's what really matters.

What did you think of "Before The Flood"? Were you surprised we were dealing with ghosts after all? Did the timey wimey stuff confuse you? Feel free to sound off in the comments below. I'm sure you've got thoughts to share.
