‘The Flash’ 1.12 Recap: “Curiosity’s a Ma
Two lessons learned in the latest episode of ‘The Flash’: 1) Cisco is a dumbass, and 2) Caitlin is seriously cute when she has a little to drink, but absolutely cannot carry a tune.
‘The Flash’ 1.11 Recap: “We Both Know What You
Last week’s episode of ‘The Flash’ (yes, I’m late in catching up with last week’s TV) was a pretty good one overall, but is unfortunately undercut by the silliness of Flash’s latest villain.
‘The Flash’ 1.10 Recap: “It’s a Question
‘The Flash’ zooms back from its winter break this week with a new episode that conveniently also serves as a ‘Prison Break’ reunion for guest stars Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell. What’s Sarah Wayne Callies up to these days ...
‘The Flash’ 1.09 Recap: “Some Would Say I’
While it’s not officially being called a winter finale, this week’s new episode of ‘The Flash’ is the last until January 20th. With all my shows on break, what will I watch for the next month? Fortunately, this show delivers one o...

‘The Flash’ 1.06 Recap: “Looks Like You Were Bo
As much as I enjoy ‘The Flash’, the Iris character is becoming a real drag. She seems to be just about the only person in Central City who doesn’t know that her own best friend is the superhero she’s obsessed with, and this week s...
‘The Flash’ 1.05 Recap: “I Made Friends with a
The latest episode of ‘The Flash’ finally addresses a lingering question that had been bugging me about the show: Why is Barry the only meta-human affected by the dark matter explosion who hasn’t turned out to be a psycho or a cri...
‘The Flash’ 1.04 Recap: “The Internet Is Full o
After last week’s kind of disappointing episode, ‘The Flash’ bounces back with perhaps the show’s best yet. (Admittedly, we’ve only had four episodes so far.) In addition to a small fan service crossover stunt, we’re introduced to...
