REVIEW: The Flash – Season 7, Episode 7 “Growing Pains”

AlexGherzo | Apr 15, 2021 | 2

“Growing Pains” is more important than it feels. It doesn’t add much to the season’s arc, but it takes two of the main characters in the direction the show wants them to go. However, while one is generally handled well, the other is rushed and short-shrifted, feeling like an afterthought whe...

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

AlexGherzo | Apr 8, 2021 | 0

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...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 7, Episode 5 “Fear Me”

AlexGherzo | Apr 8, 2021 | 0

“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...

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...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 7, Episode 2 “The Speed of Thought”

AlexGherzo | Mar 11, 2021 | 0

After last week’s episode made me wonder why I keep watching The Flash, “The Speed of Thought” reminded me. This give and take has been going on for the last few seasons, and while it’s frustrating, the good stuff makes it worth sticking out, at least for me. There are still some stumbles, b...
