REVIEW: The Flash – Season 7, Episode 14 “Rayo de Luz”
“Rayo de Luz” is not the episode we needed after spending last week being told – but not shown – how great Chester is. Instead of returning the focus to Barry, where it belongs, The Flash completely sidelines him for the episode in favor of Allegra, Chester, and Sue, who take a meaningless s...

While watching “Masquerade,” I got the impression The Flash was either trying and failing to assure us that we wouldn’t miss Cisco or rubbing our nose in losing our avatar by showing us the cavalcade of suck with which he’s been replaced. And, to help things along, they made it extra boring;...

Last week, The Flash took this season’s stalling story in a welcome new direction, but “Family Matters Part 1” warns us not to count our chickens before they’re hatched. It simplifies a complicated theme, wastes time with a tired plot point, and has characters make strange and, in some cases...
Read MoreREVIEW: The Flash – Season 7, Episode 9 “Timeless”
“Timeless” is easily the best episode of The Flash so far this year. It’s much more focused than the show has been lately, and it points the season in a slightly new direction that’s much more interesting than the underwhelming story we’ve been dealing with so far. It also manages to do so...
