The Review at the End of the Universe
The DC TV Universe -sometimes referred to as the Arrowverse or the Berlantiverse- will soon return for another dose of superhero insanity. Before that happens; Kneel Before Pod just do a series of episodes on the previous seasons. Next up is The Flash where Craig and Chris do a quick round-up of their thoughts on…
“Finish Line” The Flash closes off season 3 by revealing the fate or Iris and delivering a final confrontation between Barry and Savitar. I suspected last week that something would happen to undo or invalidate Iris’ death at the hands of Savitar. With an entire episode left to go it made sense that there was…
“Infantino Street” The Flash reaches the moment we have all been waiting for and reveals if Team Flash have what it takes to stop Savitar from killing Iris. I must say I was surprised that the moment the show has been building to since “The Present” was dealt with in the penultimate episode rather than…
“Cause and Effect” The Flash deals with last week’s reveal as Cisco comes up with a radical plan to take away Savitar’s advantage. With so few episodes left in the season it seems somewhat baffling that there would be what essentially amounts to a filler episode. All that was accomplished here in a broad sense…
“I Know Who You Are” The Flash finally reveals the identity of Savitar as Team Flash tries to recruit the physicist that will eventually help them trap him. Barry’s trip to the future was pretty much pointless but one thing he did learn was that he eventually traps Savitar with the help of a physicist named…
“The Once and Future Flash” The Flash returns from hiatus for a trip to a dark future where Iris is dead and Team Flash has been disbanded. There’s a dark shadow hanging over The Flash at the moment. Building up to Iris’ death at the hands of Savitar has consumed the show and made this…
“Abra Kadabra” The Flash introduces a villain from the future who claims to know Savitar’s true identity and offers it in exchange for letting him go. In every superhero story there will eventually be the impossible choice where the hero can’t possibly make the right one. Abra Kadabra (David Dastmalchian) represents that for Barry and…
“Duet” The Flash crosses over with Supergirl when Barry and Kara are put in a shared coma fantasy where life is an old timey musical. I’ll preface this by saying that this episode will definitely be a “mileage may vary” sort of episode as your enjoyment will largely depend on whether or not you like musicals….
“Into the Speed Force” The Flash sends Barry into the Speed Force in an attempt to rescue Wally from the prison that he was tricked into by Savitar. This episode counts as something of a sequel to “The Runaway Dinosaur” in that both share the plot detail of Barry interacting with the Speed Force on a…
“The Wrath of Savitar” The Flash brings Savitar back into focus as the self proclaimed “God of Speed” engineers his escape from the Speed Force. I’ve been really hard on The Flash lately and that’s largely because I no longer enjoy this show. This season has been bad from almost every angle and there’s no…
