FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 7×07- “Growing Pains”
The Flash (7×07)- “Growing Pains” Written by: Sam Chalsen & Jess Carson Directed by: Alexandra La Roche Growing Pains! I love this show! Anyway the episode opens with Barry returning home after dealing with a car fire and bringing home breakfast… Only to find Nora’s cooked breakfast, in fact she cooked a super breakfast complete with mimosas for day drinking. Which is a possible reason for Barry getting the shakes. Or maybe it’s that the physical embodiment of Barry’s powers looks like his mother and her cooking him breakfast is a whole new level of weird for Barry. They recap everything that’s been going on and Nora points out that…

A Thousand Generations: Five Ideas to Refresh Star Wars
A Thousand Generations: Five Ideas to Refresh Star Wars Now that I’ve watched Mandalorian (and dived back into Star Wars The Old Republic) Star Wars is back on my radar and one thing I’ve noticed is things have gotten a little… Shall we say “contentious?” I’m not going to step on any third rails so don’t expect that, but there is a bit of a problem that I think there might be a relatively simple (simple doesn’t mean easy mind you) solution. There’s been eleven movies and counting, animated cartoons, television shows and more on the way. All of them take place within a hundred year period and essentially come…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 7×06- “The One with the Nineties”
The Flash (7×06)- “The One with the Nineties” Written by: Kelly Wheeler & Emily Palizzi Directed by: Jeff Byrd The very first line of this episode is a joke about time so this could be an episode fuller of groaners and dad jokes. Prepare yourself. The episode opens for real with the gang checking on Barry’s vitals while the Speed Force as Nora explains why she showed up last week looking like she joined her local Fight Club. She was reborn in light and love and everything was great before she felt pain… As explanations go it’s a bit lacking. Chester then shows up and fanboys a bit before Cisco…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 7×05- “Fear Me”
The Flash (7×05)- “Fear Me” Written by: Lauren Barnett & Christina M Walker Directed by: David McWhirter We open on Barry watching last week’s episode to work out a tracking solution for the beast he fought when Iris arrives. She tries to convince Barry to take a break but Barry’s definitely entering into guilt-induced extra effort territory. As though that weren’t enough, Cisco enters revealing the whole Caitlin/Frost no longer time-sharing their body development which causes Barry to reveal his growing addiction to pain killers… Worked so well for Dr. House. After the title card, we visit Cecile at the West Home and it seems she’s got herself a case…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 7×04- “Central City Strong”
The Flash (7×04)- “Central City Strong” Written by: Joshua V Gilbert & Jeff Hersh Directed by: Jeff Byrd The episode opens with Iris coming home to a romantic candlelit dinner with Barry. Which is interrupted by a minor earthquake and (unbeknownst to our happy couple some more of the colored lightning) before our title sequence. The next day, the STAR Labs team is working on helping the city rebuild while The Flash is interviewed by the not-at-all-overly-dramatic TV host that interviewed Eva. It’s mostly just an excuse for some banter between the gang. Until Caitlin takes a couple of moments to look either ill or troubled. Potentially both. Allegra then…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 7×03- “Mother”
The Flash (7×03)- “Mother” Written by: Eric Wallace & Kristen Kim Directed by: David McWhirter Picking up pretty much we left the team last week with Cisco, Allegra and Frost coming to. They find Barry kneeling over Iris and if you couldn’t tell by the end of the last episode his little experiment with emotional suppression is over cause he looks to be so far into The Manly Tears that he could break out into Ugly Crying at any second. So, the gang has got some serious problems… Barry has no powers, Singh and Kamilla are trapped in the mirror dimension, dying, Iris is just as fried and did I…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 7×02- “The Speed of Thought”
The Flash (7×02)- “The Speed of Thought” Written by: Jonathan Butler & Gabriel Garza Directed by: Alexandra La Roche This week opens with a memorial for all the Wells, they even went to the trouble of Time proofing the memorial because… Well, Barry’s go-to move is changing the timeline so I’m betting Cisco’s time-proofed most of his stuff at this point. Speaking of Barry, he’s starting to realize that wearing your heart on your sleeve is not the best course of action for a superhero. Over at the Newspaper, Allegra is mourning Nash when she gets a notification on her computer. Probably Discord because that program is relentless. You can…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 7×01- “All’s Well That Ends Wells”
The Flash (7×01)- “All’s Well That Ends Wells” Written by: Sam Chalsen & Lauren Certo Directed by: Geoffrey Wing Shotz Okay! You’re not writing about the Mandalorian anymore. You’re writing about the Flash… You can do this. After a one hundred and fifteen thousand years, The Flash is back and it’s a doozy! First off, the recap was very useful. Afterwards we open on Chester monitoring the computers at STAR Labs when Eva shows up so Chester hints a button and brings Barry out of carbon freeze… Wait! That’s something else! Apparently they been keeping Barry in cryo-freeze alongside Ted Williams and Walt Disney to save what little speed he…

THE MANDALORIAN SPOILER Review: Episodes 2×07 and 2×08- “The Believer/The Rescue”
The Mandalorian (2×07 and 2×08)- “The Believer/The Rescue” Written by: Rick Famuyiwa (2×07) Jon Favreau (2×08) Directed by: Rick Famuyiwa (2×07) Peyton Reed (2×08) Welcome to the home stretch. The Believer We open in a scrapyard that apparently doubles as the New Republic prison holding Mayfeld. He’s released in Cara Dune’s custody. While he seems happy to be released he’s first confused and terrified to find that Cara’s running with Boba Fett and Mando. They need him for his knowledge of Imperial codes and procedures to help them get a line on Moff Gideon’s cruiser in exchange for some leniency from the Republic. He asks them to take him to…

THE MANDALORIAN SPOILER Review: Episodes 2×05 and 2×06- “The Jedi/The Tragedy”
The Mandalorian (2×05 and 2×06)- “The Jedi/The Tragedy” Written by: Dave Filoni (2×05) Jon Favreau (2×06) Directed by: Dave Filoni (2×05) Robert Rodriguez (2×06) So, did anything related to Mandalorian happen while I was away… Hmm, I’m just going to review the next pair of episodes and let that sort itself out. The Jedi We open of some sort of village and it doesn’t look good. Someone’s ringing a big alarm bell and there’s masked troops running to and fro. I wonder what’s happening- That would do it, I reckon. This village seems to have crossed a Jedi with twin lightsabers. White-bladed lightsabers, that’s a new one. The woman in…
