The Flash (4×05) – “Girls Night Out” Written by: Lauren Certo & Kristen Kim Directed by: Laura Belsey Okay, so we have a problem… Barry’s new enemy is named DeVoe and while it’s not as common as say “Smith” there’s a lot of DeVoe out there so Barry’s going to have get more than a last name. But that is going to have to wait for while they train Ralph. Did I say “train Ralph?” Because I meant “Say hello to Felicity so we can have our bachelor/bachelorette party episode.” Hi Felicity! Good to see you again! Over at the West Home, Cecile’s daughter is visiting to catch…

The Flash (4×04) – “Elongated Journey into Night” Written by: Sterling Gates & Thomas Pound Directed by: Tom Cavanagh Yes, yes I know. I told you I was going to be in Kentucky and this would be late.

One, after all this Cisco doesn’t know Gypsy’s name and two: Gypsy’s father is overprotective and has powers! OH MY GOD this is just like that episode of Three’s Company!

Kevorkian We open three weeks in the past, on a day in the life of Rebecca Sharpe as recorded by The Thinker… and hooboy does Becky have a life!

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 4×02 “Mixed Signals”
The Flash (4×02) – “Mixed Signals” Written by: Jonathan Butler & Gabriel Garza Directed by: Alexandra La Roche We open this week on some idiot buying the most expensive apartment in Central City… because he can. You won’t stay rich too long playing that way guy. In fact, he’s not going to stay living much longer either because when he gets in the elevator to leave it goes all wacky with purple matrix code and he plummets to his death. I tried to warn you. After the title card, Barry recreates one of the most cliché “iconic” scenes from the overrated “classic” Tom Cruise film, Risky Business before…

The Flash (4×01) – “The Flash Reborn” Written by: Eric Wallace & Todd Helbing Directed by: Glen Winter *blows dust of keyboard* Okay! We’re back at it! The Flash season four, let’s get it started. After recapping last season, we get an Iris West monologue where she catches us up on what’s happened in the six months since Barry’s mother came and said “You’ve played with your friends long enough, time to go home.” In short, it’s been a mixed bag with Team Flash Vibe Kid Flash Work in Progress. Yeah they caught Peek-a-boo but it was clear that they’re having more trouble than they should. On the…

So… Now What? Five Ideas for a Wonder Woman Sequel
It’s here! With Wonder Woman released it’s time for one last speculation piece in Watchtower’s Seven Days of Wonder Woman before we all navel gaze and box office track and chances are as you’re reading this you might have already seen Wonder Woman. Which makes me a little envious of you since it’s Monday morning while I’m writing this and all I have to watch is youtube videos like this: (Actually… I like this video. Kumamon is the man.) Anyway, we’ve looked back for long enough! It’s time to look forward. Let’s ponder possibilities for a Wonder Woman Sequel and what better way to do that than by looking into…

WONDER WOMAN’s Best: A Look at the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman
WONDER WOMAN’s Best: A Look at the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman As Part of Watchtower of Babel’s Seven Days of Wonder Woman Celebration, it’s time to take a look at the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman series. The series was developed for Television by Stanley Ralph Ross (who also wrote for the Adam West Batman series and it shows) was produced by Love Boat Producer Douglas S Cramer (and it shows) and starred Lynda Carter (duh!) and Lyle Waggoner (playing both Steve Trevor and Later Steve Trevor Jr and we’ll get to that.) A lot of parenthetical asides already, I need to ratchet back before this becomes “Tangent: The Article.” Anyway,…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 3×23 “Finish Line”
The Flash (3×23) – “Finish Line” Written by: Aaron & Todd Helbing Directed by: David McWhirter So here we are. The end of another season of the Flash and I won’t sugar coat it, this wasn’t exactly their best work. Then again, they had two really good seasons to follow so that shouldn’t come as a surprise. On the other hand, much like a great story being ruined by a crappy ending: A decent if underwhelming story can be saved by a great ending: Let’s see how they did. After we recap all the insanity of this season we pick where we left off last week. With Barry…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 3×22- “Infantino Street”
The Flash (3×22) – “Infantino Street” Written by: Grainne Godfree Directed by: Michael A Allowitz This week’s episode literally starts with a ticking clock. Why, because we’re exactly 24-hours from Iris’ death and it seems like all of Team Flash is stumped to one level or another on how to avoid it. Barry tries to comfort Iris but that seems to work so poorly that she records a message for Barry to see later. We’ll get back to that later. The next morning they have a lead, Cisco has found the energy signature from the Dominator weapon in ARGUS HQ. Unfortunately, Lyla can’t let the power source out…
