The Flash 5.22 Recap: “Just in Time”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 16 May 2019 12:00:42 +0000

The fifth season finale of The Flash is full of a lot of endings, not just for the running storylines, but also for a few major characters. The last episode left off with Barry firing the mirror gun at Cicada’s dagger just as Ralph came to the realization that it was Eobard Thawne’s master plan...

Arrow 7.09 Recap: “Would Hitching a Ride in the Batmobile Be Out of the Question?”

The Elseworlds event continues on Arrow. In a lot of ways, the second part of the crossover serves as a backdoor pilot for next year’s upcoming new DC Arrowverse spinoff. No matter, it works well enough and even makes me want to watch that show. Barry Allen and Oliver Queen are still stuck in each...

The Flash 5.08 Recap: “Time Travel’s Weird, Isn’t It?”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 06 Dec 2018 13:00:00 +0000

The time travel episodes of The Flash are typically the show’s most narratively muddled, frustrating, and frankly dumb. It’s a remarkable relief that the series’ milestone 100th episode, directed by cast member Tom Cavanagh, somehow gets the time travel nonsense right and may be the best entry of the season. Having identified Cicada, Sherloque and...

‘The Flash’ 4.21 Recap: “You Got Me a Council of Rejects”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 10 May 2018 12:00:48 +0000

Guest star Katee Sackhoff returns to ‘The Flash’ this week. So do Tom Cavanagh, Tom Cavanagh, and Tom Cavanagh. Yes, the Council of Wells is back, now with even more exaggerated stereotypes. Unable to find a solution to his diminishing intellect, Harry attempts to consult the smartest people he knows – other Harrison Wellses from...

‘The Flash’ 4.06 Recap: “We’ll File That Under Superhero Lesson of the Day”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 16 Nov 2017 13:00:26 +0000

Remember that very brief period after the Season 1 finale when it looked like Tom Cavanagh had been killed off and written out of ‘The Flash’? That didn’t stick for long, and these days the show is positively bursting with more Tom Cavanaghs than it knows what to do with. In this week’s episode, Harry...

‘The Flash’ 4.03 Recap: “Do You Really Wanna Test Your Luck?”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 26 Oct 2017 12:00:10 +0000

Could ‘The Flash’ be overcorrecting this year for the doom and gloom that dominated last season? This week’s episode is almost aggressively silly, to the point that slip-and-fall slapstick gags are central to the plot and the villain of the week barely qualifies as a nuisance. On the plus side, whatever was going on with...

‘The Flash’ 3.03 Recap: “Classic Good vs. Evil”

Josh Zyber — Fri, 21 Oct 2016 16:00:20 +0000

Dr. Wells is back on ‘The Flash’ this week. His absence certainly didn’t last very long. Why bother writing the character off the show only to bring him back three episodes later? I don’t see actor Tom Cavanagh busy with much else at the moment. Barry is very excited to have his first official date...

‘The Flash’ 2.05 Recap: Breacher Madness

Josh Zyber — Thu, 05 Nov 2015 17:00:03 +0000

What is it about monorails that the people in alternate universes love so much? This week’s episode of ‘The Flash’ takes us briefly to Earth Two, which I’m pretty sure is the same alternate Earth from ‘Fringe’. What an unlikely crossover. If we ever see some dirigibles hovering over Central City, that will surely seal...

‘The Flash’ Pilot Recap: “You Need to Believe in the Impossible”

Josh Zyber — Fri, 10 Oct 2014 17:00:27 +0000

Flash – ah ahhhhhh, Saviour of the Universe… Oh wait, sorry, wrong Flash. The CW’s new superhero drama series ‘The Flash’ is of course based on the famous DC Comics character, and is positioned here as a spin-off to the network’s very popular ‘Arrow’. Can his super speed propel DC to another television victory? Fans...
