The Review at the End of the Universe
“Central City Strong” The Flash focuses on rebuilding and refocusing after recent events have impacted everyone in uniquely significant ways. This being an action adventure driven superhero series means that by design it’s set up for the characters to deal with constant difficult situations. Every week there’s a problem to solve and every season there’s…
“Mother” The Flash deals with Central City once again under siege as Eva accelerates her plan to take over the city by replacing everyone with mirror duplicates. It’s both worth and not worth noting that this should have been the sixth season finale. What makes it worth noting is that it feels like a season…
“The Speed of Thought” The Flash deals with an unexpected side effect of the Artificial Speed Force that ends up causing major problems for Team Flash. This has always been a show that wears its heart on its sleeve. Barry in particular is a very emotional person; so much so that frequent references are made…
“All’s Wells That Ends Wells” The Flash returns for a seventh with the continued efforts to create an Artificial Speed Force, Iris still missing and Eva McCulloch free to wreak havoc. From a production point of view last season ended on less than ideal terms. The COVID pandemic forced production to shut down before filming…
The Flash recently almost completed its sixth season so Kneel Before Pod put together a team to give the show its annual critique. The discussion covers improvements, circumstantially shortened seasons, the changing face of the Arrowverse and relationship issues. Craig can be found on this very site and Andrew’s work can be found on the…
“Success Is Assured” The Flash ends its sixth season earlier than planned with a team effort to stop Eva McCulloch from murdering her husband. This is a difficult episode for a reviewer as it’s technically a season finale but was never intended to be one so it’s not completely fair to grade it on how…
“Pay the Piper” The Flash brings back an old enemy as the team faces a newer enemy while reeling from the revelation of the mirror duplicates. I’ve often accused this show of being excessively morbid and I stand by that accusation in every instance because the writers do have a tendency to make things more…
“Liberation” The Flash continues with the mirror duplicates plot as Eva prepares to make her escape from the mirror dimension. If this season of The Flash was to be given an award it would definitely be “most improved”. I’m not prepared to say that the show has shed all of the significant issues it has…
“So Long and Goodnight” The Flash returns from an extended production hiatus with a threat to Joe’s life and the continued degradation of Barry’s powers. Not only has The Flash been off the air for a while but I have also missed my reviews for two episodes. The reason for the gap from me is…
“Grodd Friended Me” The Flash brings back Gorilla Grodd when Barry becomes trapped in his mindscape with a limited amount of time to escape. Gorilla Grodd is, without a doubt, one of the most impressive visual achievements this show has given viewers. Grodd and King Shark are impressively rendered CGI creations that serve as a…
