FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 5×08- “What’s Past is Prologue”
The Flash (5×08)- “What’s Past is Prologue” 100th Episode Written by: Todd Helbing & Lauren Certo Directed by: Tom Cavanagh In case you’re unaware of the significance, traditionally when shows reach one hundred episodes they are made available to syndication meaning that local stations can buy the rights to previous seasons to air locally. Traditionally this is where a lot shows become truly profitable to the studio as most shows ride that razor’s edge between success and cancelation. What this means in this age of seasons going up on Netflix as the shows go along is unclear to me but that’s not why you came here. Speaking of tradition, most shows mark the occasion in one of three ways.…

Now, we have confirmation that not one, not two, but three villains from Arrow will be featured. [Warning: the following contains SPOILERS from recent episodes of Arrow.] The CW has released a bunch of new images from “Elseworlds,” and one of them features three familiar characters: Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman), Joe Wilson (Liam Hall), and Ricardo Diaz (Kirk Acevedo).
