The Flash (08×11)- “Resurrection” Written by: Emily Palizzi Directed by: Greg Beeman We start this week with a flashback to before the Particle Accelerator explosion where we see the first time Caitlin and Ronnie meet at STAR Labs in what would become the infirmary. The pair do a little flirting while she bandages him up. Returning to the present we see Caitlin is still with the flame and it’s asking her for help to “Make us whole.” The last time I saw a big monster wanting to be made “Whole” it was on the USG Ishimura and that didn’t go well for anyone. On the bright side, there is a…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 8×08- “The Fire Next Time”
The Flash (08×08)- “The Fire Next Time” Written by: Joshua V Gilbert Directed by: David McWhirter We open at O’Shaughnessy’s after closing time and it seems a guy named Stan has been left to lock up. He takes a look around before he’s attacked by an unknown assailant. Unknown to us anyway since Stan seems to know who they are.

The next morning at Barry and Iris’ loft, Iris finds Barry getting ready for work but notices he is distracted and kind of sullen. She glances at the calendar and suddenly…

The Flash (08×07)- “Lockdown” Written by: Christina M Walker Directed by: Stefan Pleszczynski We open this week with Chester on monitor duty on a boring afternoon and it seems his stomach is ready for lunch but it also he failed to pack his lunch and didn’t notice. (How do you not notice the second you pick up the lunch box?)

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 8×03- “Armageddon, Part 3”
The Flash (08×03)- “Armageddon, Part 3″ Written by: Sam Chalsen Directed by: Chris Peppe So we left off with Barry telling Black Lightning about “Injustice” and it turns out that wasn’t just Barry being dramatic. It seems that “Injustice” is a protocol for taking the powers from a member that is going rogue. Barry explains everything that’s been going on and Jefferson is (logically) hesitant. After all, that’s (supposed to be) a permanent solution to what might be a temporary problem. He tries to get Barry to relax for a moment but let’s be real here has asking someone to calm down ever actually worked? In the end, Jefferson…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 8×02- “Armageddon, Part 2”
The Flash (08×02)- “Armageddon, Part 2″ Written by: Jonathan Butler & Gabriel Garza Directed by: Menhaj Huda Major Spoiler Warning for Fight Club. I’ll spoil the Flash all day long, it’s in the title but this serves as both a high recommendation of the film and the novel it’s based upon and your only warning. Spoilers ahead. We pick up pretty much where we left off last week but despite their agreement, Despero put Barry on his back to test his abilities and healing. Meaning he now knows exactly what it will take to kill Barry. Well, that’s nice. Barry then asks the million dollar question, why did he…
