The Flash

Gone Rogue

That was an interesting way to start sweeps month. While The Flash Season 5 Episode 20 wasn’t exactly captivating in its storytelling, it did provide some interesting and imperative character moments for the members of Team Flash. After the explosive installment that was The Flash Season 5 Episode 19, it was slightly unnerving to watch the series dip so low in pacing and interest. Neither Thawne nor Grace, the two big bads of the season, made an appearance (b... more

Snow Pack

We are family! I got all my metas with me!  Sing it with me now!  The importance of family was the theme surrounding The Flash Season 5 Episode 19. The Snow’s, West Allen’s, and even Graces relationship (with herself?) were used to highlight the unwavering bond of family ties.  It was an episode undoubtedly curated to pull at the heartstrings.  It was meant to remind the viewer how at its core, The Flash is about family ... more

The Flash Season 5 Finale Recap: Who Was Erased From the Timeline? And What Crisis Twist Was Uncorked?

This Tuesday night, The Flash said, “Hold my beer.” On the heels of its parent series — SPOILER ALERT! — bringing back The Monitor to collect on the debt Oliver Queen owed, The Flash ended Season 5 with its own deluge of devastating family drama, followed by a “Crisis on Infinite Earths” tease of its own. When last we tuned in, Ralph realized that Eobard Thawne had, in fact, manipulated Nora into traveling into the past to, yes, get some quality time with the ‘rents, bu... more

The Flash Recap: Heist Anxiety — Plus, Iris Goes Toe to Toe With Cicada!

With Cisco’s meta cure near completion, Caitlin shares with the team the “but” of the matter — to apply it so Cicada and remove his powers, the Big Bad will need to be detained for a full minute. No inject-and-run here! The solution to the problem lies in a MacGuffin piece of tech that Ralph’s buddy Earl Cox says can be found on a black market that is run by a guy named Goldface. After literally dropping into the secret marketplace and then BS-ing their way past the proprietor (who didn’t think he smelled any “scum&rdqu... more

The Flash Recap: Did Well-Meaning Barry Just Make a Big Mistake?

Picking up with Nora visiting Thawne in prison circa 2049, she makes clear that he’s “lucky” she came back at all, given what she now knows about his role in her grandmother’s death. Thawne admits that he harbors the same level of hatred for Barry as vice versa, but then argues that he has given Nora so much despite that — time travel lessons, time with her father, fighting crime side by side. “As long as I can remember, I have only thought of myself, but I don’t want that to be my legacy,” he said. But N... more
