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

AlexGherzo | Apr 27, 2023 | 2

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 6, “The Good, The Bad, and The Lucky”

AlexGherzo | Mar 16, 2023 | 0

What do you do when it’s the final season of your serialized superhero sci-fi show, you’ve got half the episodes you normally do, and you have to make every week count? You have a standalone episode without the main character that puts the most boring sidekicks in the lead roles, of course! “T...

“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 7 “Lockdown”

AlexGherzo | Mar 17, 2022 | 0

Maybe The Flash needed a week to get the suck out of its system (give or take the odd Chester scene) because “Lockdown” is a quick return to form. It’s a focused, thematically connected, character-driven episode that manages to be both fun and legitimately funny. And Danielle Panabaker finally...
