REVIEW: The Flash – Season 8 Episode 4 “Armageddon Part 4”
“Armageddon Part 4” is a mostly great episode that kicks itself in the shins a few times too many. The continuing Armageddon storyline takes a surprising twist, and the wacky shifting alliances of an alternate future make for some entertaining scenes between former nemeses, but it focuses too mu...

“Heart of the Matter Part 1” isn’t very good; at times, it’s so bad it would be embarrassing if someone walked in on you watching it. But there are a couple of truly great moments, mostly due to the images they create, that have glimmers of the excellent show The Flash once was and almost &h...
