REVIEW: The Flash – Season 8, Episode 19 “Negative, Part 1”

AlexGherzo | Jun 23, 2022 | 0

With only two episodes to go – or one two-part episode, depending on how you view these things – The Flash finally kicks the season’s main story back into gear with “Negative, Part 1.” Revelations and shocking moments abound, but it’s also a narrative mess, spewing exposition so rapidly ...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 8, Episode 14 “Funeral for a Friend”

AlexGherzo | May 12, 2022 | 0

“Funeral for a Friend,” a reference to the comic book story that chronicled the aftermath of “The Death of Superman” (as opposed to the Elton John song), is the inevitable follow-up to Frost’s death in “Death Falls.” It’s a quiet episode with very little superhero action, focusing on...

“Death Rises” is what I call a connective tissue episode, made necessary by 20-plus-episode seasons (see also: the filler episode and the bottle episode) and existing mostly to move the plot along between high points. These are never anyone’s favorite episodes, and “Death Rises” doesn’t ...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 8, Episode 11 “Resurrection”

AlexGherzo | Apr 14, 2022 | 1

“Resurrection” does a lot for The Flash’s current season, and not just by continuing an excellent run. Black Flame finally comes into its own, a different long-running theme returns (or is… no, I’m going to hold the title pun in my pocket for a bit), and another engaging moral quandary pre...

Jesse L. Martin is Leaving The Flash

AlexGherzo | Apr 13, 2022 | 0

Barry Allen can’t hold onto a parent to save his life. Deadline reports that Jesse L. Martin will leave The Flash as a series regular in season 9, although he will return in “multiple episodes.” Martin plays Joe West on The Flash, a surrogate father to Barry after his dad was imprisoned for mu...
