Barry Allen really needs to stop describing himself as “the fastest man alive” in the intro to every episode of the ‘The Flash’ if he’s going to keep getting outraced by other speedsters. First was the Reverse-Flash, then Zoom, an...
This week’s episode of ‘The Flash’ practically begs for a “jump the shark” joke, but then defies that by actually being surprisingly good. Who saw that coming?
I was really frustrated by the dumb, sloppy plotting in last week’s episode of ‘The Flash’. Fortunately, the two-parter story arc ends a lot stronger than it opened.
This week, ‘The Flash’ goes full-on ‘Fringe’ as our heroes take a trip to the parallel universe of Earth-2. Why is it that parallel universes in comics and sci-fi are so obsessed with monorails and the Art Deco 1930s anyway?...
Following last week’s really disappointing episode, ‘The Flash’ sets aside the nonsensical time travel stuff and focuses on a good ol’ meta-of-the-week case. That’s a wise decision, though I still wouldn’t call this a standout epi...
The more that ‘The Flash’ tries to justify some of its sillier and more fantastical ideas with “science,” the less sense it makes. The series might not have this problem if the show-runners would stop writing themselves into a cor...
Based on the first episode, ‘Legends of Tomorrow’, the new spinoff from ‘Arrow’ and ‘The Flash’, is DC Comics’ most ambitious television undertaking to date. It’s also undoubtedly going to be the most difficult sell....
With all the business last season about the Reverse-Flash, who was another speedster exactly like Barry, I always felt that a villain who was actually the reverse of the Flash ought to be really, really slow. Amusingly, ‘The Flash...
Like many other network shows, ‘The Flash’ will take a break for the rest of the year after this week’s episode. Before it leaves us until mid-January, the series delivered a holiday present from one demented Santa.
This week’s big ‘Heroes Join Forces’ crossover event, which began on Tuesday with ‘The Flash’, concluded Wednesday on ‘Arrow’. Will a fan of the former who doesn’t normally watch the latter be able to keep up?
Even by superhero standards, ‘The Flash’ is exceptionally busy this week. Not only does the show cross over with ‘Arrow’ again, but also has to introduce a major new villain and set up next year’s ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ spinoff. It...
After having just given us a proper introduction to the supervillain Zoom as the ultimate badass antagonist for the season, ‘The Flash’ already puts him on the backburner for a week and brings back one of Barry’s older foes. What ...
