REVIEW: The Flash – Season 7, Episode 9 “Timeless”

AlexGherzo | May 12, 2021 | 0

“Timeless” is easily the best episode of The Flash so far this year. It’s much more focused than the show has been lately, and it points the season in a slightly new direction that’s much more interesting than the underwhelming story we’ve been dealing with so far. It also manages to do so...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 7, Episode 8 “The People v. Killer Frost”

AlexGherzo | May 5, 2021 | 0

“The People v. Killer Frost” is a good note on which to return for The Flash, although it could’ve been a great one. It returns to the classic themes of the series, and it presents a more compelling ethical dilemma than I anticipated for a show – and a franchise – that has become so &helli...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 7, Episode 6 “The One with the Nineties”

I’m starting to sound like a broken record, but “The One with the Nineties” is another okay episode of The Flash. What stings is, it should have been great, and parts of it are fun and inspired. There’s even a genuinely touching moment centering on a character I don’t particularly like. Bu...

“Fear Me” is The Flash at its most mediocre. It isn’t as abysmally bad as some of the worst episodes, but it doesn’t break any new ground either. It sheds new light on Caitlin and Frost, but it says things about Barry we already knew, and it’s saddled with a derivative villain that isn’t...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 7, Episode 4 “Central City Strong”

AlexGherzo | Mar 24, 2021 | 0

Officially, “Central City Strong” is the fourth episode of The Flash’s seventh season, but it was supposed to be the season premiere, and it shows. This week deals with the fallout from the Mirrorverse arc and acts mainly as a checkpoint for the characters to get them back on superhero track. ...

REVIEW: The Flash Season 7, Episode 3 “Mother”

AlexGherzo | Mar 18, 2021 | 0

“Mother,” the season finale that is no longer a season finale but still feels like a season finale, is the perfect encapsulation of The Flash in its later seasons. Parts of it are great and harken back to the best of the show’s heyday; other parts are bad, tedious, and make you check your watc...
