REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 14 “Death of the Speed Force”
The Flash took a week-long break after the excellent “Grodd Friended Me,” and returns with “Death of the Speed Force,” a muddled, middling effort that serves mostly to make clear just how many balls this season has in the air. Some familiar faces return, as does a familiar superhero trope th...

Now that “Crisis on Infinite Earths” has come and gone, The Flash returns with “Marathon,” a breather of an episode about people who refuse to take a breather. “Marathon” deals with the fallout of Crisis while setting up the second half of the season (since the Bloodwork storyline has be...

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 acti...
