REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 17 “Liberation”
“Liberation” is the episode we desperately needed, moving the season-long plot significantly forward while examining and illuminating some of the best qualities of the characters, specifically Barry and Iris. There’s also an inventive fight scene and an attempt to mitigate one of the season’...
Read MoreREVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 16 ” So Long and Goodnight”
“So Long and Goodnight” is one of those episodes. There’s nothing particularly wrong with it (outside of the blander than low-fat mayonnaise villains); some important plot reveals even happen. But it never captivates or entertains the way The Flash usually does, content to be connective tissue...

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...
