REVIEW: The Flash – Season 9, Episode 8, “Partners in Time”

“Partners in Time” is yet another filler episode, but at least it’s a decent one that’s grounded in character. It also revolves around Barry and Iris for a change, which is good because I’ve grown sick of the supporting cast and their boring nonsense. They’re here, of course; God forbid ...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 8, Episode 20 “Negative, Part 2”

“Negative, Part 2” brings another season of The Flash to a close, and the good news is that it’s much better than “Negative, Part 1,” last week’s set-up first half. It explains some of the seemingly nonsensical plot points in that episode, although a couple of them still don’t quite ho...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 8 Episode 16 “The Curious Case of Bartholomew Allen”

“The Curious Case of Bartholomew Allen” is a stand-alone episode… or is it? It mostly is, but parts of it will be important down the road. The plot has a big inconsistency that makes the middle feel like filler to kill time till the climax, but it’s offset by some terrific character work, pa...
