Westworld: The Mother of Exiles (2020)
Great for a mid season episode
Probably the best non last-few-episodes/finale (8-9-10) episode of all three seasons so far. Visually pleasing as Westworld always is, good acting and things started to heat up a bit as well as some reveals. At this point I am aware of the logistical issues but because of the depth of this show and the levels of advanced technology (And a fairly different world to our current one) I feel we don't notice as much without going through it with a fine tooth comb so it hasn't bothered me thus far. While after thinking about it some of the big moments this episode didn't make sense entirely my first impression of this episode was very strong.
Django Unchained (2012)
Strong
The middle dragged ever so slightly for me but I enjoyed the start and it had a great finish. Fine acting performances from the big names as we've come to expect in QT offerings. Really rock solid movie with a a great quote thrown in there for good measure.
The Flash: Pilot (2014)
A missed opportunity
I feel the pilot is always a chance to grab people who aren't from the comics or other DC shows attention and get them hooked but they've failed to do so here. No glaring issues but no moments where you think to yourself I've found my next show to sink my teeth into. I'll be watching the whole show because I've come across from Arrow but if this was my first DC show the next 2 episodes would have to step it up.
The Flash: Fastest Man Alive (2014)
Bland
There's only really one moment that makes you sit up and take notice this episode. There's a good amount of overused clichés and the CGI isn't quite up to scratch. Even factoring in that a good many people watch this because they're a fan of the Flash from the comics and come across from other DC shows it's still a slow start in my opinion and I hope the writers get more creative.
