REVIEW: The Flash – Season 9, Episode 6, “The Good, The Bad, and The Lucky”
What do you do when it’s the final season of your serialized superhero sci-fi show, you’ve got half the episodes you normally do, and you have to make every week count? You have a standalone episode without the main character that puts the most boring sidekicks in the lead roles, of course! “T...
