After a number of high action episodes, ‘The Flash’ has a more subdued personal outing this week as Team Flash attempts to once and for all solve the mystery of Firestorm before he destroys Central City and Barry tries to have a date in peace. Since basically everyone he hangs with knows his secret identity, […]
Coming off consecutive weeks with some crazy action featuring our hero tangling with The Reverse Flash and The Rogues in consecutive weeks, this week’s outing was a mild letdown, but ‘The Sound and the Fury’ covered some some significant ground, resulting in a fun if not must-see episode. We start off with a little action […]
By comic book TV show standards, “The Flash” certainly can’t be accused of moving slow. For longtime comic fans, tonight’s episode was the precursor to hopefully one heck of a season finale cliffhanger as it continued building to arguably the biggest thorn in Flash’s side — The Rogues. For now, Barry is focused, scratch that, […]
Flash Fact: DC/WB should just dump their plans for a Flash movie as after this week’s mid-season finale, there’s no way a movie is going to match the excitement of these first nine episodes. We were teased last week and right away, the episode gives us that sweet, sweet confrontation we’ve been anticipating since those […]
And that my friends is how you zoom right along past expectations. Tonight marked Part 1 of the much-anticipated, unprecedented ‘Flash vs. Arrow’ — note not ‘Flash v. Arrow’ — crossover and it was every bit as fun and amazing as we could have hoped. It also furthered the notion that any cinematic DC hero […]
Initially, I wasn’t all that excited about tonight’s episode. That’s what happens when you hype an unprecedented ‘Arrow vs. Flash’ crossover, but by the end, I was impressed by how a potential throwaway episode proved just as entertaining as any in the series thus far. We kick off with a flashback 10 months ago, where […]
‘The Flash’ isn’t a perfect show, but it is easily the one that doesn’t make being a superhero seem like a complete drag and tonight’s episode, where The Streak finally gets his permanent name, reinforces that the show has the fun superhero show crown locked down. Last week, Barry and Iris decided to take a […]
Lot to like in this week’s episode after a skipped week thanks to Election Day. Fortunately, none of the show’s momentum was slowed as we get another enjoyable adventure with the fastest hero on network TV. Here’s a neat trick, Barry’s hyper-metabolism means he can’t get drunk anymore. He’s hanging at a bar with Cisco, […]
Tonight’s episode was a bit slower than the first two, but it contained solid character development and much-needed advancement for a couple of subplots. We get our first D.C. Comics reference early on as Barry meets Iris for a movie and the theater is playing ‘Blue Devil II – Hell to Play’ for Blue Devil, […]
I’m loving the scheduling of our weekly comic book TV fix. We kick the week off with the bumbling, inconsistent ‘Gotham‘ and then Tuesday we zoom over to the fun all-out superhero show that is ‘The Flash.’ This week, a new villain comes to Central City leaves Barry seeing double…or is that triple? Luckily for […]
