REVIEW: The Flash – Season 9, Episode 9, “It’s My Party and I’ll Die if I Want To”

Never let it be said that Barry Allen can’t pull off a miracle. “It’s My Party and I’ll Die if I Want To” (the URL for this review is gonna be huge) is not only a return to form after two-thirds of a disappointing final season; it’s a sensational episode, packed with character developmen...

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 ...

The Flash better have something epic – or at least mildly entertaining – in store for its last few episodes because much of this final season has been a boring waste of time. Aside from money, I don’t understand why they came back for one more season. Nobody’s heart seems to be in it anymore...

“The Mask of the Red Death Part 2” feels more like a series finale than a season finale. It’s got all the hallmarks of a capper – minus a worthy villain – with Barry’s ideology at the forefront. And it’s a good episode, even great in parts, but some of the same problems that have &hell...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 9, Episode 4 “The Mask of the Red Death Part 1”

AlexGherzo | Mar 2, 2023 | 0

“The Mask of the Red Death Part 1” (which would have made a good Indiana Jones movie title) leaves you with a strange feeling. It’s better than the last couple of episodes, and it has some great ideas that are in keeping the series’ central themes, ideas that could be fascinating if fully ex...
