The Flash Review: Season 3 Episode 6 "Shade"

The Flash Season 3 Episode 6

“Shade”

Starring:

Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Keiynan Lonsdale, Tom Cavanagh, Jesse L. Martin, Tom Felton, Mike McLeod

Synopsis:

Wally starts to have visions of him being Kid Flash so Barry tells him the truth about his powers in Flashpoint. Meanwhile, the rest of the group find out about Caitlin’s Killer Frost powers.

Final Thoughts:

We finally got the Wally West centric episode, with dreams of the Flashpoint alter-ego, Wally is more than determined to become Kid Flash. This is another character much like James Olsen which doesn’t feel like a natural fit to the show. There seems more forcing the character on the audience this year, which involves more complaining about not being a hero. I’ve been worried about the direction of The Flash with adding new speedsters to the show, I’m not sure if this will have any effect on Barry going forward or if its just a way to build upon the CW DC Universe, but adding Jesse Quick seemed to happen naturally while this story with Wally hasn’t and much like James with Supergirl. And just like James there is way more negative commentary from fans of the show about the character. 

With that being said, the rest of the episode was great. Especially with the torn emotions of Caitlin worrying about turning into Killer Frost and what the rest of the team will think. I am loving this character arc, but on a personal note worried because I absolutely love the character of Caitlin and wonder if they will ultimately turn her evil or try and keep her on the hero side. 

Finally, we learn that Alchemy isn’t the actual villain of the season which seemed a little weird since he has been a vocal point all season. But with the ending of Episode 6 we were introduced to Savitar who has taken the mantel of God amount all speedsters.

The Flash Review: Season 3 Episode 5 "Monster"

The Flash Season 3, Episode 5

“Monster”

Starring:

Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Keiynon Lonsdale, Tom Cavanagh, Jesse L. Martin, Tom Felton, Susan Walters, Thomas Cadrot

Synopsis:

Desperate to understand what is happening to her, Caitlin visits her mother, Dr. Tannhauser, a renowned biomedical researcher, in the hopes that her mother can provide some answers about Catlin’s growing meta-human powers. However, when Dr. Tannhauser treats her daughter like a test subject, Caitlin grows cold and brings up past wounds causing the two to have a major blowout. Meanwhile, after a mysterious new meta-human attacks Central City, Barry tries to convince Julian to let him assist on the case. 

Final Thoughts:

So Caitlin runs off to have her mom check her out, through out the episode we see her transfer between nice and friendly Caitlin into the Killer Frost version of the character we saw in the earth two episode. This was a big part of this weeks episode and I am assuming this means we should be seeing Killer Frost soon. 

Then we had the issues really come to head between julian and Barry, first we see Julian trying to get Barry fired only to team up with him later to assist on a Meta-Human case. We really got an in-depth view into the life of Julian and what really motivates him to solve these Meta-Human cases. Im not sure how this really fits into the rest of the story, his character so far seems to be more of a nuisance for Barry than anything else.

Finally, we touched on the new Harrison Wells. While the rest of the team has been open to the idea of HR, Cisco from the start seems bothered by him. While HR always is talking, there never seem to be any substance to his thoughts. When Barry finally questions what HR is really brining to the the team, we learn that there really is an alternative motive for HR to come to Earth-1, But fortunately for the team its not sinister but rather he is an author but not a scientist. I have to say this is a very disappointing turn, not only is he an eccentric person but no longer really offers much in the realm of support for Barry and the star labs team. More and more each week I am missing Earth-2 Harry.

The Flash Review: Season 3 Episode 4 "The New Rogues"

The Flash Season 3 Episode 4

“The New Rogues”

Starring:

Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Keiynan Lonsdale, Tom Cavanagh, Jesse L. Martin, Wentworth Miller, Violett Beane, Danielle Nicolet, Grey Damon, Ashley Rickards

Synopsis:

Barry continues to train Jesse and when a new meta human, Mirror Master, appears on the scene he lets her tag along. Mirror Master has teamed up with his old partner, Top, and is looking for Snart to even a Score. Jesse is quick to join the chase but defies one of Barry’s orders which results in disastrous consequences.

Final thoughts:

It seems like we were finally introduced to a quality villain, however the episode didn’t really live up to that billing. Mirror Master has the potential to be a great villain, hopefully we see him again in the future in an episode which isn’t crammed with so much character development. What was nice about this episode was the tie to Snart, its been a few episodes now since we saw him last. I am waiting to see where he finally pops up and we know he will.

Now to the positive of the episode, we finally get Jesse suiting up as Jesse Quick, the episode saw her starting to learn the rope for being a superhero. Obviously there were many learning experiences, but one of the best parts was when Barry quotes Oliver. Due to Jesse’s eagerness, Barry ends up trapped in a mirror, Trying to get him free, the team needs a way to freeze the mirror. This is when we finally get a glimpse of Caitlin’s powers as Killer Frost.

Was anyone else as sad to see Harry leave to head back to Earth-2? I know we are getting another Harrison Wells in the form of HR. Who I am guessing will turn to be more evil than good. But How about Harry, I know we will see him again but it would have been nice to have a little more time with this version of the character. Harry has slowly grown on me since he debuted in Season 2. Hopefully I am not wrong, cause not only do we loose Harry, but that also means the lose of Jesse Quick. Two episodes don’t even see long enough for those characters. 

Finally the episode ended with more of the transformation of Caitlin into Killer Frost, what will be interesting is, does caitlin finally turn evil or will she become part of the team going forward.

The Flash Review: Season 3 Episode 3 "Magenta"

The Flash Season 3 Episode 3

“Magenta”

Starring:

Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Keiynan Lonsdale, Tom Cavanagh, Jesse L. Martin, Tom Felton, Violett Beane, Joey King, Peter Flemming

Synopsis:

Barry and Team Flash are thrilled to reunited with Earth-2 Wells and Jesse. Wells Confides to Barry and Caitlin that Jesse has all the powers of a speedster and has been saving people on his Earth. He is concerned about her safety and wants them to talk her out of using her powers. Meanwhile, Magenta, a new meta who can control metal, terrorizes the city.

Final Thoughts.

This was a fun episode, we finally get Harrison Wells back, and it seems this season he has a new attitude. One that actually makes the show that much better….if that is even possible.We also finally get a new speedster in the form of Jesse, but before she become Jesse Quick she will need to convince her father to let her be a hero. At first I had reservations about the new speedsters, and maybe that had something to do with the attitude of Wally, but I seem to be more open and to a certain degree excited to see what Jesse Brings to the show.

Speaking of Wally, this episode really focused on his want to become a meta with powers in order to help people. This is going to be an interesting story due to his jealousy of Barry and Jesse’s powers. But the end of the episode we see he learns how the other Meta’s from Flashpoint are getting their powers…Alchemy. This seems to be leading to Wally asking for powers soon, but with consequences.

Obviously we had a new Meta hero, but that was hardly a story for episode 3. This episode obviously was made to use to develop all the other stories, like the budding relationship between Iris and Barry. I am not sure how I feel about the fact their seems to be issues already, I know like most I am already worried this relationship may head down the same path as Oliver and Felicty.

So the question has to be which are you more excited about, Jessi Quick or Kid Flash? Leave your comments below.

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. 

What did you think of the first episode from Season 3 of The Flash? Leave your comments below.

Comic Book Review: The Flash Rebirth #1 - DC Comics (2016)

"...Doomed To Repeat It..."

Written by Joshua Williamson
Art by Carmine Di Giandomenico
Colors by Ivan Plascencia

The Flash finds Wally West from an alternate reality and is on a quest to figure out what is going on with the visions he is having.  This book runs parallel with the DC Rebirth comic book.

The Flash Rebirth #1 is an absolutely fantastic read.  If you have been reading The Flash from the the previous "New 52" line, this is a continuation.  This book is also for those who hearken to DC's past story lines.  The Flash also appears to be the comic book to follow to see what truly caused the "New 52" and who appears to be "watching" them.  There is also a great team up in this book and that should keep readers happy.

The art is fun and vibrant.  I enjoyed the scenes of the Flash and Wally running and all of the interactions.  The Flash Rebirth #1 was incredibly enjoyable.

The Flash Review: Season 2 Episode 18 "Versus Zoom"

The Flash Season 2 Episode 18

“Versus Zoom”

Synopsis:

Equipped with the Tachyon device, Barry believes he is fast enough to stop Zoom and wants to open the breaches to catch him. Harry strongly advises against that plan but after Barry convinces him, Harry reveals that Cisco has the power to re-open the breach. Meanwhile, Hunter Solomon’s painful Story on Earth-2 is revealed.

Review:

Barry and team are working to become faster, we are introduced while trying to test the Tachyon device which allowed him to jump over to Supergirl’s Earth. Once Barry figures out that he is now faster than Zoom, he wants to jump to Earth-2 but Harrison Wells is refusing to assist with opening the breaches.

Barry Figures the only way to jump between Earths is with the Help of Cisco, figuring he has the same powers that reverb had on Earth-2. At first Cisco refuses to assist, believing that the powers he has will eventually turn him evil like his doppelgänger. After some reassuring from Barry, Cisco agrees to help.

With the help of Wells the Team learns about the sinister acts of Zooms true identity, using this against him the team is able to capture Zoom. Unfortunately the team is unable to keep him locked up and Zoom escapes and kidnaps Wally. 

The only way to get Wally back is the trade Barry’s speed force for him. 

Final Thoughts:

Slowly this season we are getting more and more into Cisco and his powers, love the fact that he keeps getting stronger. It will be interesting to see where the creative team takes Cisco through the rest of the season and into next.

Another great episode, it will be interesting to see where they take this through the next few episodes. Will Barry capture Zoom to regain his speed, or has the speed force really left Barry? I know for myself I am hoping that the speed force will come back naturally allowing Barry to become a great hero. 

Once again there is a bigger tease which left many wondering who is actually under the IronMask in Zooms lair. One aspect which hasn’t been touched on is if the man might be the original Flash for the early 90’s show, we did see this during the travel back in time scene. The same scene which showed us Supergirl.

This show just keeps getting better each week, Let us know what your thoughts of the show are and leave your comments below.

The Flash Review: Season 2 Episode 17 "Flash Back"

The Flash Season 2 Episode 17

“Flash Back”

Synopsis:

After the shocking revelation of Zoom’s real identity, Barry is more determined than ever to get back to Earth-2 to stop Zoom forever. Desperate to find a way to increase his speed, Barry decides to travel back in time and masquerade as his earlier self in order to get his arch-nemesis, Dr. Harrison Wells/Eobard Thawne, to teach him how to run faster. However, things do not go as planned and Barry is stunned to face familiar foe Hartley Rathaway, as well as old friend Eddie Thane. Iris makes peace with her past in order to embrace her future.

Review:

With Barry working effortlessly trying to increase his speed, he decides that the only way to become faster is to go back in time and learn from the Reverse Flash. Things go wrong when Barry comes across a Time Wraith and shows up at the wrong time in the past.

Due to the strange behavior of Barry, Dr. Wells figures out he is from the future. While Barry is trying to convince Thawne to help him become faster, the Time Wraith attacks Star Labs. Cisco and Caitlin have to rely on Hartely who is currently being held, for help.

The end of the episode see the past Barry help Future Barry travel back to the Future where the Time Wraith followed and attacked Barry. With the timeline ultimately effected it was Hartley Rathaway who was there to save the day.

Final Thoughts:

Another great episode of The Flash, I love the time travel episodes and this one was especially great due to the fact that we got to see Future and Past Barry’s working together. We also got to see the effects of time travel effecting the timeline when Hartley was there at the end to help save Barry.

It was also great to see the return of the Eobard Thawne/Dr. Wells character return. There has been a part of me that has ultimately missed that version of Wells. 

Finally its kinda amazing how The Flash and Arrow are so different with how they have developed their leading Ladies. With Arrow, I feel ultimately I end up disliking them, where as with The Flash Iris comes across as likable. It just goes to show you how great The Flash really is.

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

Supergirl Review: Season 1 Episode 18 "World Finest"

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 18

“Worlds Finest”

Synopsis:

Kara gains a new ally when The Flash arrives from an alternate universe and helps her fight the Silver Banshee and Livewire in exchange for her helping him return home.

Review:

With Siobhan Smythe learning of her new powers, she is intent on destroying Kara. Kara meanwhile is still dealing with the issues of no longer having trust of the city. 

Siobhan decides to confront Kara using her powerful scream to send Kara out of the Catco high-rise. Who is there to save her, non other than The Flash. While discussing who they are, Barry learns that he is on another Earth after training to become faster. Barry needs to get home, however before he attempts to jump earths he decides to stick around and help Supergirl with her new villain problem The Silver Banshee and Livewire.

With Barry helping and using his knowledge of meta-humans they confront Livewire and Silver Banshee, In the end it was the citizens of National City that save the day, after Supergirl sacrifices herself to save the people.

Final Thoughts:

The episode we have been waiting for, and it didn’t disappoint. The Crossover with The Flash was amazing and left us with the best episode of Supergirl. This episode was filled with so many amazing moments, like the moment that Barry realizes he is no longer on Earth-One, Listing the names of The Green Arrow, Black Canary, Firestorm and The Atom then there was the Cat Grants CW line. These were spot on moments and just perfect, an example of what happens when everything works.

This episode didn’t feel like a Supergirl episode, it felt like a Flash episode. It just so apparent that the creative team really loves The Flash character. There are always these little moments with in these comic book shows that gets my inner comic book nerd self excited. Once The Flash’s music hit, I had one of those moments, then there was the balcony scene where Barry was the mentor and you get the soft Flash music play. So Great!

The episode stars had to be Winn, Cat Grant and Grant Gustin. Even Melissa Benoist was amazing, not that she isn’t always. Winn’s excitement that there is a man that can time travel was so refreshing, and Benoist became even more charming than usual. But in the end it was Grant Gustin, he is the star of the DC Universe. DC Comics, take note Grant Gustin is The Flash and it would be in the best interest to get him in the movies as soon as possible.

This is what these shows should be fun and charming. This is a must see episode and If you didn’t catch it you need to find it. This is what happens when casting is spot on. Let us know what your thoughts of the episode were, leave your comments below.

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice - Why You Need To See This Film

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice - Why You Need To See This Film

Starring: Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Henry Cavill, Jesse Eisenber, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Jeremy Irons, Daine Lane, Jena Malone

The critics hated the movie, what did you expect from a Comicbook adaptation? I’ve seen critics complain about the religious undertone, the political ties and moral dilemma. But when everything is said and done, we are watching a movie where an indestructible man fly’s while another dresses as a Bat. This movie isn’t being made to enlighten, it was made to entertain and it did just that. The best part of this movie we received the best Bruce Wayne/Batman I’ve seen. Ben Affleck was amazing and I can’t wait to see what he does with the future of Batman. And for everyone that was worried about Gal Gadot, she was amazing and sold me on her as Wonder Woman.  

Batman V Superman had to do something which the marvel movies haven’t had to do the entire time, Introduce new character, tell the story of all those character and actually give us movie which made sense. Yes the editing was a little choppy, but every scene was worth it. Every dream sequence from Bruce gave you the perfect insight to the mind set of a man afraid, scared of what could happen. Every time we were introduced to Lex we saw a lunatic going crazy with power, and every time we saw Superman we were treated to man dealing with the reality that the world around him may fear what he is.

The movie itself was more a starting point, a origin story of sorts. This earth hasn’t been introduced to Meta-Human’s yet. As the scene with the few clips of The Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg showed us. There seems to be more at play than just a starting point for a Justice League movie, and if we are lucky we will be treated to a Crisis on Infinity earths movie. As seen during one of the dream sequences The Flash appears but looks like he is reaching out from the future. If that looked familiar, well it was basically pulled from the Crisis on Infinity Earth Story line.  

Finally there was Doomsday, was it the Doomsday i was expecting? No, they pulled from way to many points of the DC Universe. But it was nice to see that Doomsday was still the powerful villain that we needed. I said from the moment that they revealed that Doomsday was in Batman V Superman, we needed the Death of Superman Story. That is exactly what we received and it didn’t disappoint. 

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice was exactly what i wanted. The film didn’t disappoint. If you have an doubts about this movie or if you walked away from it disappointed, I suggest taking a moment and see it again.

The Flash Review: Season 2 Episode 16 "Trajectory"

The Flash Season 2 Episode 16

“Trajectory”

Synopsis:

Trajectory arrives in town intent on creating maximum chaos. Trajectory’s antics are misinterpreted as having been perpetrated by The Flash himself. Barry must thus act quickly to uncover the mystery of who is causing damage in which others think it is him, and what may be driving their mad desire for speed and destruction.

Review:

With the team exhausted trying to increase Barry’s speed, they decide to go out, this is where we meet Trajectory, who starts to cause havoc across the city making the public believe it is The Flash. The team believes that it is Eliza Harmon, a scientist which Caitlin reached out to for help on Velocity 9. With Barry unable to catch her, he contemplates using the serum in order to increase his own speed. This was until Harrison Wells talks him out of it. With her increase use of Velocity 9, Trajectory runs so fast that she ends up evaporating due to the side effects.

Meanwhile during the episode, we learn that Cisco is also vibing, in this case its on Zoom. While trying to figure out what caused Trajectory to evaporate, they start to connect the dots and which all point to Jay. They use Jay’s helmet to allow Cisco to vibe and finally learn his real identity of Zoom.

Final Thoughts:

After a few weeks on Hiatus, The Flash is back. A very solid episode, but as is the case of all villains which didn’t get there name from Cisco Trajectory was weak. But in the end this episode was more about revealing who Zoom really is than it was about the villain. 

I am disappointed that Jesse will no longer be part of show, I was interested to see what her character was going to bring to the team. As in many cases, chances are she will return some where down the road.

As said before this was a solid episode, but only worth One Thumbs Up. Not due to anything being bad but more as a result of the season we have been given. So many great episodes not all can be Two Thumbs Up. Let us know what your thoughts of the episode are and leave your comment below.
