The Flash

Elseworlds, Part One

Here’s my pitch: We cancel the individual Arrowverse shows. Instead, we run with a brand new series called Elseworlds. It plays three nights a week, and we get to see all our favorite superheroes team up together and defeat evil from every earth imaginable. Like The Avengers, but without Thanos! OK, maybe having all our heroes in one place on a weekly basis would end up somewhat akin to celebrating Christmas every day—the magic would eventually be lost on us. A g... more

What's Past is Prologue

The long-anticipated 100th Episode of The Flash has finally arrived! And it was … not what I expected.

'The Flash': Which Character Screwed up the Most in 'Therefore She Is'?

They may have finally figured out Clifford DeVoe's nefarious scheme, but the heroes of The Flash still have plenty of screw-ups throughout "Therefore She Is." Meanwhile, flashbacks showing the origin stories of Mr. and Mrs. Thinker make it clear that the bad guys make plenty of mistakes of their own. Team Flash "This time we catch DeVoe by surprise!" At some point this season, Team Flash will figure out that out-thinking the Thinker is never goi... more

The Good (and Bad) News About 'The Flash' Mystery Girl

Baffled by The Flash's Mystery Girl? Don't worry, you're hardly the only one. In fact, you're in good company -- even the cast has their questions. So, in that vein, let's try and make sense of the good news (and the bad) in the wake of those "Therefore She Is" revelations.
