“I’m assuming you didn’t come all the way to Earth-3 to stop my Trickster,” states Jay Garrick (John Wesley Shipp), oh no Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) comes bearing, self-proclaimed deities, and West family stakes; both make a rogue Trickster seem harmless. “The Present” (3×09) is a seamless midseason finale that contains a Christmas ghost, a Philosopher’s… Continue reading The Flash Flashpoint: The Present (3×09)

The Flash Flashpoint: DCTV Invasion! Crossover
“You know you look beautiful. The weight of all these worlds on your shoulders,” explains Mon-El (Chris Wood), before fulfilling the dreams of all Karamel shippers and kissing Kara. Supergirl “Medusa” (2×08) is a fifty-fifty split between romantic entanglements, and a chapter about disillusionment. The episode not only features Karamel development, but Alex Danvers (Chyler… Continue reading The Flash Flashpoint: DCTV Invasion! Crossover
The Flash Flashpoint: Killer Frost (3×07)
“Killer Frost” (3×07) picks up right where “Shade” (3×06) left off; Wally(Keiynan Lonsdale) has been turned into one of Dr. Alchemy’s husks, Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) is suppressing her inner meta-human, and Barry (Grant Gustin) meets a self-proclaimed God. “You are only a man, but I am a God, your God, I am Savitar,” and… Continue reading The Flash Flashpoint: Killer Frost (3×07)
The Flash Flashpoint: Shade (3×06)
“Shade” (3×06) features a slew of characters, yet it’s titular villain is put away at the end of act two. The Flash writers instead focus on developing arcs for our already established characters, like Wally West (Keiynan Lonsdale) who continues to dream about being a speedster; literally. Meanwhile, Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) finally admits to… Continue reading The Flash Flashpoint: Shade (3×06)
The Flash Flashpoint: Monster (3×05)
“Monster” (3×05) is a well executed villain of the week story that explores different perspectives on power through ancillary characters. Overall, the episode plays like a Buffy The Vampire Slayer tale, with the metaphorical relationship between the monster villain and adolescent feelings of powerlessness. A giant monster terrorizes Central City, but it’s a threat born… Continue reading The Flash Flashpoint: Monster (3×05)
The Flash Flashpoint: The New Rogues (3×04)
Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) returns to Central City in this week’s episode of The Flash. Okay, it was all an illusion reflecting the past, but it still worked. “The New Rogues” (3×04) feels like déjà-vu considering the opening scene begins with Sam Scudder (Grey Damon) transforming into Mirror Master following the particle accelerator explosion. This… Continue reading The Flash Flashpoint: The New Rogues (3×04)
The Flash Flashpoint: Magenta (3×03)
“Magenta is another side effect from your side trip, genius… not,” comments Harry (Tom Cavanagh) to Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) after coming through a breach with his daughter Jesse Quick (Violett Beane). What? Not the Harrison Wells you expected? I am sure that we’ll see another version of Harrison Wells in the near future, but… Continue reading The Flash Flashpoint: Magenta (3×03)
