REVIEW: The Flash – Season 7, Episode 1 “All’s Wells That Ends Wells”

AlexGherzo | Mar 3, 2021 | 2

I almost feel bad for The Flash. The lockdowns forced its previous season to end early, creating a season finale out of an episode that was never intended to be one. As a result, season 6 ended with a whimper. But they made the boneheaded decision to begin season 7 with the last few episodes &hellip...

The Flash Production Delayed, Episode Titles Announced

The Flash is slowing down for safety. During the filming of its upcoming seventh season, the CW superhero show had to stop production when a crew member was diagnosed with COVID-19. There’s no word on who the infected person is, but they are asymptomatic, and the studio is contemplating resuming w...

Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, “Success is Assured” is the makeshift finale for season 6 of The Flash, and it certainly feels that way. It doesn’t finish the main storyline, and it doesn’t feel particularly epic or important, just more connective tissue. That makes it a letdown as a fin...

After “Liberation” got things moving, “Pay the Piper” slows The Flash’s momentum down considerably, centering on a subplot introduced early in the season and then mostly forgotten till now. The main plot is on everyone’s minds, but the focus is on a pair of lesser villains while the hero...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 16 ” So Long and Goodnight”

AlexGherzo | Apr 22, 2020 | 0

“So Long and Goodnight” is one of those episodes. There’s nothing particularly wrong with it (outside of the blander than low-fat mayonnaise villains); some important plot reveals even happen. But it never captivates or entertains the way The Flash usually does, content to be connective tissue...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 15 “The Exorcism of Nash Wells”

AlexGherzo | Mar 20, 2020 | 0

“The Exorcism of Nash Wells” confirms the fears with which “Death of the Speed Force” left me. We’re in for another round of Barry discovering that his heart/mind/spirit/lactose intolerance is his real superpower, or however they want to frame it. If we must go through this again, though, ...
