REVIEW: The Flash – Season 8, Episode 17 “Keep it Dark”

AlexGherzo | Jun 11, 2022 | 0

“Keep it Dark” is another stand-aloneish episode, where it’s mostly a self-contained story, but some of the plot points will likely return in the near future. (We’ll call that the Buffy Special.) Barry’s storyline is the subplot, while the main action focuses on Allegra and Chester. It isn...

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...

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...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 7, Episode 18 “Heart of the Matter Part 2”

“Heart of the Matter Part 2” closes the book on a lousy season of The Flash, and it feels like exactly the right episode on which to end it. It’s mostly bad – at times really bad – but there are moments that make you wish these writers could pull it together already because this … <...

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...
