Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “Don’t Run”

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 6, 2017 | Television

We have made it to the mid-season finale of The Flash and, while the show has added some new characters and made some relatively large changes to the status quo, it feels pretty stodgy and unmotivated moving into its hiatus. 1. I still don’t understand why DeVoe is such a dick Over the past few […]

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “Therefore I Am”

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 22, 2017 | Television

Last night’s episode of The Flash was a weird one, as it allowed a lot of the season’s storylines to wrap up before the big crossover, but also introduced DeVoe for real, and gave the character some motivation – but nowhere near enough. Be warned, spoilers follow. 1. A team of flip-floppers This episode showed […]

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “When Harry Met Harry…”

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 15, 2017 | Television

This week, The Flash doubled down on a lot of the silliness that has been poking around the edges lately, but also went a little too deep the other way in a very uneven episode. 1. Not My Dibny I know, intellectually, that ‘Ralph Dibny’ isn’t the Ralph Dibny from the comics. I hate being […]

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “Girls Night Out”

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 8, 2017 | Television

Oh shit – it’s bachelor/bachelorette part week on The Flash, folks. 1. Party? When I got married, it was just a few months after my college friend, Dave, got married. And we made deals to each other – we wouldn’t let our more, shall we say, bro-y friends drag us to strip clubs at our […]

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “Elongated Journey Into Night”

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 1, 2017 | Television

The Silver Age is alive and well over at the CW, and with Elongated Man joining Team Flash, it has never been more clear. Be warned, spoilers follow. 1. A very different Ralph Dibny Ralph Dibny, in DC lore, is one of the finest detectives, most committed married men, and most loyal friends in the […]

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “Luck Be a Lady”

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 25, 2017 | Television

This season of The Flash, in so many ways, is about bringing the show back to its roots, and any decisions to try to move the show forward have been rolled back to a season 1 status quo. I’m half expecting Eddie to show up and whisk Iris off her feet. Let’s dig in but, […]

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “Mixed Signals”

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 18, 2017 | Television

The Flash last week essentially reset completely after last season’s emotional finale, leading to this episode feeling more like a season debut, with new storylines building and character arcs teasing out for the rest of the season. Be warned, I will spoil some stuff along the way. 1. That Risky Business scene is shit and […]

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “Finish Line”

By Brian Salvatore | May 24, 2017 | Television

Wow – that was a finale. I’m going to jump right into spoilers territory here, so be warned. 1. HR?!?!? On Sunday, a friend of mine called the HR/Iris switcheroo almost down to the smallest detail. “HR is going to feel guilty for revealing where Iris was, so he’s going to use that weird crystal […]

By Brian Salvatore | May 17, 2017 | Television

We are one week away from the season finale of The Flash, and shit gets real. Massive spoilers follow, especially in the fifth item, so be warned. 1. If you’re traveling the Multiverse, travel the damn Multiverse One of the more frustrating aspects of the CW’s shared universe, but specifically The Flash, is their inability […]

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “Cause and Effect”

By Brian Salvatore | May 10, 2017 | Television

This week’s The Flash did more to fuck up the rules of time travel than Biff Tannen, but it presented a really fun episode that advanced the season’s plots and provided some rare insight into Barry’s character. 1. Time travel makes less sense than ever At one point in the show, Savitarry (Future Barry outside […]
