The Review at the End of the Universe
“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…
“A Girl Named Sue” The Flash introduces the subject of Ralph’s prolonged investigation as Iris realises she isn’t the only one trapped inside the mirror. Ralph’s investigation into the disappearance of a Central City socialite has been bubbling along in the background for a while. Outside of the build-up to “Crisis on Infinite Earths” it’s…
“Love is a Battlefield” The Flash delivers a Valentine’s themed episode with relationship strife both in the criminal underworld and within Team Flash. I’m sure it’ll be apparent to those who regularly read these reviews that I don’t like Katee Sackhoff’s Amunet Black. It’s very much personal taste on my part as she is written…
“Marathon” The Flash returns to explore the show’s perspective on the new world the characters now live in as a new threat emerges. As I’ve said in many reviews, “Crisis on Infinite Earths” was literally world altering with significant impacts on all of the shows that participated in the monumental crossover event. The Flash was…
“The Last Temptation of Barry Allen Part 2” The Flash closes out the Bloodwork storyline, bringing an end to the first arc of the season ahead of “Crisis on Infinite Earths”. When the previous episode ended things looked really bleak for Team Flash with Barry moving over to the dark side and Ramsey starting to…
“The Last Temptation of Barry Allen Part One” The Flash tests Barry in the hours before Crisis hits with an offer that could save his life at the expense of his soul. First of all, apologies to those who were looking to read my review on last week’s episode. Life got in the way and…
“Kiss Kiss Breach Breach” The Flash has Cisco take the lead on a murder mystery as Joe becomes acquainted with Nash Wells. It has been previously established that Cisco is Barry’s choice for taking up the mantle of leadership once Barry’s inevitable death comes to pass. As this episode begins he’s still struggling to find…
“There Will Be Blood” The Flash continues to deal with the prospect of Barry’s unavoidable death as he tries to prepare Cisco for life without him. Readers of this site will know that I’ve been very critical of The Flash in the past as it dramatically reduced in quality after a stellar first season. It’s…
“Dead Man Running” The Flash deals with the acceptance of certain death and the importance of honesty when Barry starts to prepare the team for the coming Crisis. There was a time where this show was immensely frustrating in how repetitive it was when it comes to Team Flash being honest with one other. Week…
“A Flash of the Lightning” The Flash continues to build towards the upcoming Crisis crossover as Killer Frost tries to get a life and Cecile finds a new focus for her skills. “Crisis On Infinite Earths” is something this show has been teasing since the very first episode and it is now at the point…
