“The Last Temptation of Barry Allen, Part 2” is a bit of a fumble, erasing what was a fascinating plot development from last week and bringing a disappointing end to the first half of the season. It isn’t bad, and there are some good moments and fine pieces of acting, but it could have been… Continue reading REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 8 “The Last Temptation of Barry Allen, Part 2”

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 7 “The Last Temptation of Barry Allen, Part 1”
The Flash jumped the gun with the Ramsey Rosso storyline over the past few episodes, but “The Last Temptation of Barry Allen, Part 1” performs some much-needed repairs on season 6’s main arc. It merges the themes of both Ramsey and the Crisis, and it makes Barry even more human in the face of his… Continue reading REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 7 “The Last Temptation of Barry Allen, Part 1”
REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 5 “Kiss Kiss Breach Breach”
With the 22-episode season inevitably comes some chuffa here and there, and while “Kiss Kiss Breach Breach” isn’t exactly filler – it does tie into the overarching plot and even has a nice, mouth-watering tease courtesy of new Harrison Wells doppelganger Nash – it’s still The Flash spinning its wheels.

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 4 “There Will Be Blood”
The Flash is on a roll this season, and “There Will Be Blood” (named after one of my favorite movies of at least the last two decades) is another stellar episode. There are a couple of missteps involving Ramsey Rosso, the burgeoning big bad, but they’re insignificant next to the wonderful acting and characterizations of… Continue reading REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 4 “There Will Be Blood”
REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 3 “Dead Man Running”
Three episodes in, season 6 of The Flash is shaping up to be something special. “Dead Man Running” lives up to its title, showing how several characters deal with their impending demises, and how Barry has become a hero capable of helping others face the inevitable. It’s also fun and heartwarming, it moves the season’s… Continue reading REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 3 “Dead Man Running”
REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 2 “A Flash of the Lightning”
The road to “Crisis on Infinite Earths” continues on The Flash, with “A Flash of the Lightning” affording a glimpse of what to expect from the apocalyptic event. Barry’s prophesied death is the main thrust of the episode, which moves Dr. Ramsey Rosso’s dark turn to the back burner. Some familiar faces return, and once… Continue reading REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 2 “A Flash of the Lightning”
