The Flash Review: Season 3 Episode 2 "Paradox"

The Flash Season 3 Episode 2

“Paradox”

Starring:

Grant Gustin, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Keiynan Lonsdale, Jesse L. Martin, Julian Albert, Emily Bett Rickards, Todd Lasance, John Wesley Shipp

Synopsis:

Barry discovers that the effects from Flashpoint are greater than he thought. In the meantime, he meets his new co-worker who has an immediate disdain for him.

Final Thoughts:

The second episode of the season brought us The Flash Paradox. With Barry now back in his original timeline he realizes some of the timeline is still off, like a new lab mate who hates him, arguments between Iris and Joe, and Cisco angry and not talking, Barry realizes he really messed everything up. The guilt of destroying his friends life, Barry decided to travel back and fix the destruction he caused, only to be stopped by The Flash…..Jay Garrick.

I’m mixed with how I feel about this episode. Obviously it is setting up to stop any major changes for at least the near future. It also fast forward us to Vibe and Killer Frost. In this episode we also saw the return of the Rival, who was brought to be by Alchemy……I mean DR. Alchemy, the new major villain. 

What really bothered me with the episode is the dynamic  changes between the team, the question has to be, is it to much for one season? This angry Cisco routine is not fun to watch, the addition of more speedsters and both Vibe and Killer Frost. It just seems like much, ultimately I hope I’m wrong.

The Flash Review: Season 3 Episode 1 "Flashpoint"

The Flash Season 3 Episode 1

“Flashpoint”

Starring:

Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Keiynan Lonsdale, Tom Cavanagh, Jesse L. Martin, John Wesley Shipp, Matt Letscher

Synopsis:

The Reverse-Flash taunts the Flash, and warns of repercussions if Barry Continues to forget his old life; when disaster strikes, Barry must decide whether to live as Barry Allen or return to his universe as The Flash.

Final Thoughts:

Finally, after a long and hot summer The Flash has returned. With the final episode of season three seeing Barry going back in time to stop him mothers death and details being released we know that The Flash will explore the comics “Flashpoint” story arc. 

Now I’m not sure how you felt about direction this would take The Flash, I know I was concerned due to the players involved, I wondered if CW would be able to do justice with the story. After learning that Supergirl was moving to the CW and Superman would now play a part in that show, I became a little more excited with what could be.Then came the first episode of season 3 “Flashpoint”, unfortunately I came away a little disappointed. They managed to squeeze in what should have been a three of four episode story arc into a 45 min episode.

Outside of the obviously short Flashpoint story, episode three saw the return of The Reverse-Flash, who Barry trapped in an abandoned warehouse, we got to see Wally West as Kid Flash. But outside of Kid-Flash taking over being Central City’s Hero, Barry’s intervening in the murder of his mother left other consequence to the time line. We saw Joe being a drunk and Barry trying to figure out how to introduce himself to Iris. 

Things change when The Rival, another speedster starts to attack central city. This is when Barry starts loosing his memory of the original time line, however Barry is ok with loosing his memory since he still has his parents, that is until The Rival kills Wally West. With the help of Eobard Thawne Barry goes back in time to correct his mistakes. This only leave to more consequences as The Reverse Flash is still alive.

So after a strange start of the season we now have the Reverse-Flash still around, but what does that mean for the remainder of the season? Barry will have to work to correct what he has done to the people he cares about. Another question which hopefully will be answered is whether or not we will be getting Earth-2’s Harrison Wells or if the Original Wells is still alive.

Supergirl Review: Season 1 Episode 13 "For The Girl Who Has Everything"

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 13

“For The Girl Who Has Everything”

Synopsis:

A parasitic alien attaches itself to Kara and traps her in a world where krypton was never destroyed, leaving Alex, Hank and the DEO to fend off a Kryptonian attack without her.

Review:

So a parasitic alien has attached itself to Kara, placed on her by Non. The Kryptonians are trying to execute a plan while Supergirl is out of action. When Kara is trapped by the alien, she is thinks she is back on Krypton with her family. Alex gets help from Astra to defeat the alien, and while trying to stop the Kryptonians, Alex’s kills Astra.

Final Thoughts:

I am pretty sure I watch an episode of the animated series Justice League which Superman experiences the same story. Supergirl did a great job of redoing this story. Another interesting development during this episode, we are finally introduced to Kal-El. Although it was a young version during Kara’s dream sequence. 

The more they tease Superman, the more I am starting to expect it to happen during the final few episodes. Its even more interesting that in the last week, there seems to be more talk of the casting of Superman, specifically Tom Welling from Smallville. This casting choice would make a lot of sense since The show runners have found roles in all of their shows for pervious stars of these properties. Just see Dean Cain, John Wesley Shipp, and Mark Hamil as the Trickster.

It seems there will be a lot to look forward to going forward, and we still have the Flash crossover to look forward to. Oh how I can’t wait for that episode.

I give this episode Two Thumbs Up, Let us know what your thoughts of the show were, and leave your comments below.
