REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 12 “A Girl Named Sue”
While not as bad as last week’s bummer of an episode, “A Girl Named Sue” is even more of a letdown than “Love is a Battlefield” because it makes you wonder if the excellent “Marathon” was a fluke and the remainder of this season is going to be rife with boring characters, dull plots, a...
Read MoreREVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 11 “Love is a Battlefield”
It took exactly one week for The Flash to squander the goodwill it generated with its first post-Crisis episode. “Love is a Battlefield” is a tedious, corny, poorly acted (not by everybody), stupidly plotted, momentum-killing waste that is only slightly redeemed by some good laughs in the first ...

The Flash doing a James Bond homage should be right up my alley, but “License to Elongate” left me cold. Not nearly as funny or clever as it thinks it is, this week’s episode is a snooze that does almost nothing to further the plot or develop the characters. It doesn’t even get the reference...
