    Broadcast TV The Flash - seasons 8 & 9 (The CW)

    I have not read any of the articles or seen much of the promo stuff, but I may do so later. I thought it was a decent series finale in the end. They brought a lot of things from the whole series together with a couple of nice surprises (though one might have been in an advertisement, and if...

    I had most of the same comments as @Garysb above. After what I thought was quite a good Part 1 of A New World, Parts 2 and 3 have been somewhat lacking. I just hope the finale is satisfying.

    I just hope there is a logic we can follow when it is all said and done.

    I also thought the episode was a step backwards. Chester was written stupidly again. Why did he believe that Mark could help him program something? For that matter, why hadn't he already done the work? And speaking of Chester, I guess they completely dropped that plotline from last...

    Yes, this was a really strong episode. How many Flashes were there this time? Interesting frame to A New World Part 1 - someone who looks like Eddie Thawne (but isn't) works at Mercury Labs somewhere and is given speed force powers at the end. I guess we'll find out how that fits later...

    This week's episode was a lot of fun. Lots of guests celebrating Barry's birthday. And we got to hear "You have failed this city" another time. When I saw the preview for this episode I thought they were starting a story that would finish the season, but they wrapped it up. Maybe they are...

    Overall, "Partners In Time" is a relatively harmless episode with some humor that completely ignored the scene with Khione's powers at the end of the previous episode and doesn't appear to advance the arc of the season. The preview for the next episode makes me think that the end-game is...

    I am watching this week's episode and just can't help but commenting right now. Chester, Allegra and Cecile are playing Settlers of Catan. They are sitting around the table. Clockwise their order would be Chester, Cecile, and Allegra. Chester says he can't go and notices that Allegra has...

    "Wildest Dreams" this week. It was basically an Iris and Nia episode. Grant Gustin has really had a light load two episodes in a row. It basically resolved Nia's issues from Supergirl and wrapped that in a nice little box. A nice guest appearance, but it seemed out of place. Iris did...

    That Barry-lite episode had a truckload of plot holes most of which David Weicker pointed out in the spoiler text. In addition, they know she is having bad luck, why are they taking her everywhere with them? As far as Nora - they could do some sort of space-time speed force thing that makes...

    The Mask of the Red Death Part Two actually accomplished most of what I hoped it would do. It was a nice conclusion to this first arc of the season.

    I just watched last night's episode. I did think the episode worked for the most part and I am interested in seeing how they wrap it up in Part 2. At least I hope this 2-parter finishes off this part of the season and it starts something new in the following episode.

    So, there were a few minor surprises, but ultimately it was another lazy writers stupid plot. The writers are only able to make the heroes stupid in order to accomplish the goals they have for this part of the season. Putting that aside, it does really seem that one of the goals for the season...

    Just started watching tonight's episode ("Rogues of War") and I am already groaning at the basic plot that appears to being laid out. The bad guys need something which is being held in an extremely secure place. So, in order to prevent the bad guys from getting to it, Team Flash is going to...

    They have plenty of time to plan these final 13 episodes. I hope they come up with something coherent and satisfying.

    Broadcast TV The Flash - seasons 8 & 9 (The CW)

    At least they resolved and explained a bunch of things in the finale. They have left open: The theft of Chester's data is one item that may have an impact next season. No mention of it since we saw that happen however episodes ago that was. I'll still watch the upcoming season though I...

    Unfortunately, The Flash is way past its prime. There were some bright moments in this last episode, but this whole tricking The Flash to kill Iris was painful. I really hope they have a plan for wrapping things up next season.

    I am hoping they are saving that for when they actually get Iris and her mother back.

    This week's episode was for the most part a nice standalone episode. The bit a the end with Caitlin was a bit much though. Barry doesn't do things like that.

    And what we saw in the last episode does make me feel like it will end well either. And then the thing at the end of the last episode with Chester defies belief. I can't see someone just coming into his computer and download all his files. He is being played a lot more intelligent than that...

    As expected from other news, Flash is renewed for 9th season. https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/all-american-riverdale-flash-walker-renewed-cw-1235211805

    Maybe this was paired in filming with the previous episode. Relatively light load for everyone except Barry and the captain. I guess he should have taken the bracelet if he still wanted to conceal his identity, but at least we did not get a repeat of Supergirl/Lena Luthor here. Though if her...

    Just watched it. Yes, it was fun. It was a Flash-lite episode, possibly shot during the making of another one (one of the Armageddon eps?) as most of the regular cast basically just had bit parts.

    Well, we do see that Mia's appearance in The Flash does follow the backdoor pilot and it feels to me that they are going to try to bring closure to that somewhere in all of these shows in 2022 is one of the current shows (or maybe later). Part 4 of this is still my favorite of the 5. This...

    Broadcast TV The Flash - seasons 8 & 9 (The CW)

    I liked tonight's episode the most so far. It actually had decent crossover action throughout. We now know exactly why Barry was having such a bad day, but I still think they should have figured it out in 2021.

    Well, we got a lot of answers this time. Jefferson Pierce did play a major part in getting Barry's head on right again. I am looking forward to the next episode.

    There is so much about these episodes that just doesn't make any sense. As much as I'd hate it all being some kind of dream, maybe that would be the best way out.

    The Alex appearance this episode was just a cameo, but it looks like Black Lightning will be more substantial next episode. I really do wonder why the writers make Barry so inconsistent. In the previous episode he defeats the Royal Flush gang by thinking faster than the one who can read minds...

    I had high hopes for this, but unfortunately the whole premise rubs me the wrong way.
