REVIEW: The Flash – Season 8, Episode 5 “Armageddon Part 5”

AlexGherzo | Dec 15, 2021 | 0

The Flash may have averted Armageddon, but his greatest test is yet to come. “Armageddon Part 5” puts yet another new spin on the theme that has fueled not only this season-opening miniseries but much of the show from the beginning. That it incorporates the central characters and plot elements f...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 8, Episode 3 “Armageddon Part 3”

AlexGherzo | Dec 1, 2021 | 0

The beginning of “Armageddon Part 3” scared me. I thought we were bracing for the return of one of my most hated, played-out superhero tropes, something The Flash has done several times (and several times too many). Instead, the third chapter in the miniseries surprised me by arguing against thi...

“Heart of the Matter Part 1” isn’t very good; at times, it’s so bad it would be embarrassing if someone walked in on you watching it. But there are a couple of truly great moments, mostly due to the images they create, that have glimmers of the excellent show The Flash once was and almost &h...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 7 Episode 16 “P.O.W.”

AlexGherzo | Jul 7, 2021 | 0

The Flash is finally on the right track, even if it’s a little too late to make much of an impact. “P.O.W.” is a good episode that should have been better, but it’s let down by what came before it. Season 7 has been so dull and haphazardly constructed that, now that we’re finally getting &...
