REVIEW: The Flash – Season 8, Episode 10 “Reckless”
I’m probably starting to sound repetitive, but The Flash is still good, and I’m happy. “Reckless” is another strong episode, returning to perhaps the show’s most important theme and finding yet another way to explore it. It suffers only from an overly convenient plot point and more (though...
Read MoreREVIEW: The Flash – Season 8, Episode 9 “Phantoms”
Not only does “Phantoms” continue a great run for The Flash, but like the show’s hero, it does the impossible: it made me like Chester. It couldn’t pull off the same feat with another obnoxious character who almost sinks her subplot, and there are some details revealed this week that don’t...

The Flash has been off the air for four months, and to remind us of what we’ve been missing, the series gave us an episode focusing on Barry’s corny kids. Not that a Nora/Bart episode like “Impulsive Excessive Disorder” would have been good at any point in the run, but as the mid-season(ish)...
Read MoreREVIEW: The Flash – Season 8, Episode 5 “Armageddon Part 5”
The Flash may have averted Armageddon, but his greatest test is yet to come. “Armageddon Part 5” puts yet another new spin on the theme that has fueled not only this season-opening miniseries but much of the show from the beginning. That it incorporates the central characters and plot elements f...
