1 on The Flash 7x04 Review - CopingAfter the end of a big storyline, you need a chance to come down from the drama, right? What better way to do that than with a villain-of-the-week episode! As both Team Flash and Central City try to recover from the invasion by the Mirror Monarch, an old enemy shows up to give Flash a…
When you're making TV week by week, you have to roll with the punches. On old soaps, sometimes someone would have to pinch-hit for another actor for a day, and a voiceover would say "so and so is playing the part David on today's episode." The Flash got a whole flurry of punches to roll with.…
The Flash can be a tough character to write for much the same reason that Superman can be. They're both wildly powerful characters who can do things like rewrite time and reboot suns. There's tons of room for fun with their powers, but they can be difficult to get right. This week, The Flash gives…
The Flash was one of many, many shows in 2020 that ended suddenly, without a proper season finale to leave us satisfied for the next season. Instead, we got a cliffhanger with lots of slick editing. The show could pick up where the finale left off, or it could rush through the ending the team…
There are different advantages to filming shows in different ways. When NBC's Community was airing, it was filmed while the season aired; the show was able to respond to fans by doubling down on weirdness and certain character relationships. When a show like Westworld is filmed all at once, the actors and crew are able to…
COVID-19 is inescapable. Even in our favorite escape--a good ol' superhero show--the coronavirus finds a way to muck things up. With The Flash, it comes in the form of a heavily shortened season. We're a few episodes short of a full stack, putting extra weight on the ones we have. This week, that weight rests on…
The only word I can think of to describe how The Flash has felt the last few weeks is "stuck." It's very literal, too. In the real world, our noble but sometimes dumb hero Barry has been watching his speed drain away. Meanwhile, Iris has been stuck in the mirror universe. Only Ralph Dibny and Sue…
The CW's Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover is done, but thanks to the state of the world we're in a Crisis on Infinite Television Shows. Shows are ending seasons early and moving storylines to next year, while others are just big question marks. After going on hiatus due to COVID-19, The Flash is back. I'd…
In the beginning, there was Harrison Wells. And then, Flash willed the multiverse into being, and countless Wells appeared. Each year has had its own Wells. Harrison, Harry, Sherloque, Nash, and H.R. have all left impacts on Team Flash. Whether it's Harry bonding with Cisco, H.R. sacrificing himself for Iris, or Eobard Thawne being Eobard,…
Alright, Flash, enough already. Over on Legends of Tomorrow, the Time Idiots are dealing with revived villains. They're calling them Encores. It's been fun and silly. When The Flash brought back Mirror Master as a new character with better effects, I was stoked, and I'm still digging it. But now it's starting to feel like a crutch. Where Legends…
It's easy to say that Flash is leaning too heavily on old villains following the Crisis on Infinite Earths, but if they're going to do it the way they're doing it now, I think I might be okay with that. The show has been a mix of old and new villains, remixed and tweaked, and…
When last we left our hero, Iris West-Allen was banging her hands on the wrong side of a mirror as her evil twin lovingly hugged her husband. This week, the focus shifts further off Barry, giving Iris time to explore this strange dimension. On the outside, master detective Ralph Dibny finally tracks down Sue Dearbon.…
You know how it goes. If a character gets sucked into a mirror in a sci-fi story, one of two things happens. Either they enter a freaky mirror world, or they get replaced by a mirror person. Last week left us off with Iris getting sucked into a mirror by some terrifying mirror hands, and…
Last week we left off with our good and pure Barry Allen under the influence of Bloodwork, with oily-black eyes and a terrifying grin. This two-part story is the final run-up to the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover for Team Flash. It's a test of Barry's commitment to saving the world despite knowing he'll die.…
While Arrow is solely focused on the upcoming Crisis, The Flash is still an ongoing show. The dual storylines of the disgusting villain Bloodwork and Team Flash's preparation for the Crisis have had to compete for time thus far, but the final pair of episodes brings the two together as Ramsey Rosso forces Barry to ask…
The Flash continues to prepare for the upcoming Crisis. Not only is the hero preparing, but the show, too. And that means some lower-key, character-focused episodes. This week, Barry spends some quality time with Ralph Dibny, the Elongated Man. While Cisco has stepped away from heroics, Ralph has embraced the idea of being a hero…
The Arrowverse is marching inexorably toward the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Universes will be destroyed and heroes will die. Barry Allen knows for a fact that he will have to sacrifice himself. He's been prepping the team since the beginning of season 6. This week, Barry is doing something we've never seen him do: take…
If you knew you had six weeks left how would you spend it? Barry Allen knows his life is limited; not only has the Monitor appeared to him and laid out the truth, Barry looked ahead for himself and saw the one future among billions that ended with his universe in one piece. For Barry…
If Oliver is the father of the Arrowverse, Barry must be the cool uncle. The Arrowverse sprung forth from the work of the team behind Arrow, and The Flash carried the torch as the Arrowverse expanded. Supergirl, Black Lightning, and Batwoman all seem blissfully unaware of the coming Crisis (Batwoman is back in time a ways, anyway). Oliver…
The Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover coming this fall isn't a vacation from the rest of the season like other crossovers have been. It's the main focus. While Batwoman, Black Lightning and Supergirl have yet to be pulled in, the first episodes of both The Flash and Arrow both hinge on the coming crisis, and this week's…
