The Flash

Cause and XS

Not to be dramatic but, what did I just watch?  If there’s one thing The Flash Season 5 Episode 14 taught us, it’s that sometimes people don’t learn their lesson. In this case, I’m referring to both Nora Allen and the writers who created her character. Before diving into this review, it’s important I make it clear that any critique on Nora West Allen is not synonymous with my thoughts on Jessica Parker Kennedy. Kennedy is a true spitfire, perfectly c... more

Goldfaced

That might have been my favorite episode of The Flash this season. I know you're probably thinking I’m a total lunatic for saying what should have been a back half of the season filler episode was their best yet. Hear me out, though. The Flash Season 5 Episode 13 had absolutely everything we’ve come to crave from the series, while also managing to give us nothing we’ve come to expect. The Flash Season 5 is really playing around with alternative sides of B... more

Memorabilia

With The Flash, I suppose it’s ask and you shall receive? I demanded more Iris West Allen, and The Flash Season 5 Episode 12, gave me exactly that.  Finally, the leading lady of the series got her time to shine. Not only were Nora’s negative memories of her skewed, Iris also officially started The Central City Citizen—something I’ve been waiting around for all season. Even better, the audience was given an introspective look on why it took so... 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

The Flash Reveals Killer Frost's Origin

The Flash vibed to the North Pole this Tuesday for answers about Santa Claus Caitlin’s chilly alter ego, Killer Frost. At a black ops site way, way up north, Caitlin, Barry and Cisco find Dr. Thomas Snow (guest star Kyle Secor), alive and well. Caitlin is pretty surprised, given that her dad had severe ALS 20 years ago. Thomas explains that he began experimenting with cryogenic therapies and even managed to freeze the progression of the disease. But the experiments became more and more dangerous, so he quarantined himse... more
