1 on Grant Gustin has chatted with James Gunn about the DCUIt seems even after nine season of playing Barry Allen on The Flash, the actor can't seem to shake geeking out about DC. During a recent convention appearance, Gustin was asked during a Q&A session if he would ever be willing to play the Flash again. He replied in the positive that he would be…
I've been a supporter of The Flash since season 1, episode 1, and it had me the moment the Reverse-Flash entered the picture. The show became increasingly difficult to watch over its nine-season run, though, and that culminated in a final season that is, for long stretches, unwatchable. What the heck happened? After a breezy and…
When The Flash premiered on October 7, 2014, I was 32 years old. As the show ends, I'm 41. For nine years, The Flash has been a part of my life for part of each of those years. This is the final episode, meant to give characters and fans alike closure on all the stories told during…
One of the funny things about Barry being the fastest man alive is that he's still perpetually late for basically everything. That should be relegated to the fiction of the story, though, and not to its pacing. Spoilers follow for The Flash Season 9, Episode 12, "A New World, Part Three." "A New World, Part Three" Team…
The Flash has just two episodes left. This is the show's last chance to leave us with a positive impression of the last nine years. But instead of that, let's do another episode of The Flash in which its main character is relegated to little more than a cameo appearance. Spoilers follow for The Flash Season 9,…
The Flash is now, well and truly, entering his final run. This final arc is entitled "A New World," and it will act as a farewell to the character we've gotten to know over the last almost-decade of television. This season has been, to put it bluntly, disappointing. The first arc was at least something…
Despite this being the final season of The Flash, it seems like at least as many episodes have left Barry out to focus on other characters as there have been episodes that focus on the speedster himself. It's been a frustrating season filled with lackluster episodes that feel totally skippable. This week's episode, though, should…
The Flash has just a few episodes left. And yet, the showrunners have constantly thrown us standalone villain of the week episodes and episodes that excise Barry almost completely from his own show. Barry is here this week, but the episode still feels like filler. And right now, that's more frustrating than ever. Spoilers follow for The…
The Flash is not the first show in the Arrowverse to reach the finish line, but it will almost certainly be the very last one. As the show closes out its 9th season, the writers are taking the opportunity to revisit other parts of the Arrowverse that may not have gotten the closure they deserved.…
Despite being the fastest man alive, Barry Allen is constantly late--he never has enough time. Just like Barry, The Flash is running out of time with only seven episodes left following this one. But for some reason, the showrunners decided to sit, take a breath, and do a completely standalone episode that doesn't play into either…
A last-minute cameo isn't enough to save this five-part storyline, but it does help give the finale a bit more energy, leaving a better impression as we move into the final run of The Flash. Spoilers follow for The Flash Season 9, Episode 05, "The Mask of the Red Death, Part Two." "The Mask of the…
The Flash began season 8 with a five-part story arc that put Barry on his back foot. The team behind the show was clearly trying to replicate the fun of that arc with this Red Death arc, but the heavily-tweaked version Red Death doesn't have the gravitas to push the story the way that Reverse-Flash…
I'm sad that, after such an amazing run, the Arrowverse is going away, with just a few episodes of The Flash left and neither Superman & Lois nor Gotham Knights being connected in any meaningful way. At the same time, it's hard to root for Barry Allen's adventures to continue when the show's final season…
Caitlin Snow. Killer Frost. Khione? Danielle Panabaker is one of the very few original cast members left on The Flash, and she's played more characters than just about anyone in the Arrowverse, short of Tom Cavanagh. This episode slots a last-minute solution to the Snow Problem that highlights one of the show's most irritating issues.…
The Flash is a really fast guy. We all know that. But for a clear-cut example, let's take a look at how much faster he is than, say, Groundhog Day's Phil Connors. It took Phil Connors 10 years or more to figure out how not to be a jerk. Barry, meanwhile, figures his stuff out…
While Harrison Wells is no longer a member of Team Flash, the man who wears his face continues to haunt our hero, making every attempt to destroy his life at any cost. This is his biggest play yet. Spoilers follow for The Flash Season 8, Episode 20, "Negative, Part Two." "Negative, Part Two" With The Flash…
Since the very beginning of The Flash, the Speed Force and Negative Speed Force have played important roles in some major story arcs. Last season introduced the Still, Strength, and Sage Forces. Now, it's time to meet their Negative equivalents. Spoilers follow for The Flash Season 8, Episode 19, "Negative, Part One." "Negative, Part One" The…
There's a new speedster in town and, by all accounts, she's there to do the right thing. When Barry goes to visit her lab, though, he's in for the surprise of a lifetime. Spoilers follow for The Flash Season 8, Episode 18, "The Man In The Yellow Tie." "The Man In The Yellow Tie" With a…
This week's episode focuses on Team Flash member Allegra, putting her leadership skills to the test, while Barry visits an old favorite Arrow location to talk to one of his enemies. Spoilers follow for The Flash Season 8, Episode 17, "Keep it Dark." "Keep it Dark" The Flash (Grant Gustin) goes off the grid to look…
We're not getting any younger--that applies to all of us. Barry Allen, meanwhile, has stayed the same age for almost a decade thanks to the protection of the Speed Force. That changes, at least for a little bit, this week. Spoilers follow for The Flash Season 8, Episode 16, "The Curious Case of Bartholomew Allen." "The…
