The Review at the End of the Universe
Season 1 Episode 12 – “Crazy for You” Now that The Flash is firmly into the second half of the debut season the plot lines are starting to come into focus a lot more. The Firestorm (Or should that be F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M?) arc is gaining more steam and definitely feels like the momentum is building there….
Season 1 Episode 11 – “The Sound and the Fury” The Flash introduces longtime Flash villain The Pied Piper (Andy Mientus) and cleverly retools his origin to connect to the established characters. As a fan the massive changes made to The Pied Piper sort of annoyed me. I can see why it was done this…
Season 1 Episode 10 – “Revenge of the Rogues” The Flash is back after a long 6 week break following a great midseason finale. Barry is challenged by the deadly team-up of Leonard Snart aka Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) and Mick Rory aka Heat Wave (Dominic Purcell). A really cool action scene opens the episode…
Season 1 Episode 9 – “The Man in the Yellow Suit” The Flash is gone as far as 2014 is concerned and gives us plenty to sink our teeth into for the long wait until it returns. Barry finally encounters the man who killed his mother all those years ago and finds that he’s unable…
Arrow Season 3 Episode 8 – “The Brave and the Bold” The Flash Vs. Arrow two night crossover event concludes in “The Brave and the Bold”. Barry Allen and his team visit Starling City to help Oliver and his team take on Captain Boomerang (Nick Tarabay). Like in the last episode the setup doesn’t work…
The Flash Season 1 Episode 8 – “Flash Vs Arrow” “Flash Vs Arrow” gives us what we’ve all been waiting for, the first full crossover between Arrow and The Flash. Oliver, Diggle and Felicity head to Central City to investigate a potential link to the boomerang wielding killer at the end of the previous episode…
Season 1 Episode 7 – “Power Outage” The Flash gets around to the mandated losing powers episode as Barry is faced with a foe who can absorb his speed energy as well as any electrical energy he comes into contact with. We get this in pretty much every superhero story so it’s no surprise that…
Season 1 Episode 6 – “The Flash is Born” The Flash backslides into unremarkable villain territory but the strong character base is enough to keep the story from becoming too generic. It is a shame that we had a two episode run of memorable villains and then have an episode like this with a villain…
Season 1 Episode 5 – “Plastique” The Flash introduces another DC character in the titular villain as well as having Barry deal with the complications of a military presence stepping in. As I have said in previous reviews, the one aspect of The Flash that hasn’t been quite right has been the use of villains….
Season 1 Episode 4 – “Going Rogue” Lots going on in the world of The Flash this week with the arrival of signature Flash villain, Captain Cold and fan favourite IT genius Felicity Smoak popping over to Central City for a visit. Felicity’s appearance on The Flash feels long awaited for fans of Arrow given…
