FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 6×17- “Liberation”
The Flash (6×17)- “Liberation” Written by: Jonathan Butler & Gabriel Garza Directed by: Jeff Byrd We start off with Cisco, Ralph and Barry making at first attempt at the reboot of the Speed Force and it goes about as well as you’d expect any attempt at something like this to be while we’re still in late Act Two of our story arc. A whole lot of noise, then a whole lot of nothing. (To be fair, there were some promising signs to suggest that something will reignite the Speed Force but we’ll get there.) That’s when Cecile shows up trying to get Barry and Iris to reconcile but Barry’s not…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 6×16- “So Long and Goodnight”
The Flash (6×16)- “So Long and Goodnight” Written by: Kristen Kim & Thomas Pound Directed by: Alexander La Roche This episode starts with our villain, Joseph Carver as he starts his evil day at his evil mansion, wearing his evil sweater, talking to his evil assistant and hiring Ragdoll to kill Joe all while drinking a glass of orange juice… Well, at least he starts his day with a full day’s worth of Vitamin C, so I’ll give him points for that. Then it’s over to the West Home for boys vs girls game night. Joe gets a phone call from Singh and he’s acting a bit suspicious when it…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 6×15- “The Exorcism of Nash Wells”
The Flash (6×15)- “The Exorcism of Nash Wells” Written by: Lauren Barnett & Sterling Gates Directed by: Eric Dean Seaton Are you ready for some hot, steamy Nash Wells backstory action? No? What if we throw in Thawne? Alright! Let’s do this! Anyway, this episode opens with Not-Iris and her new best friend, Not-Kamilla and they’ve been given their marching orders from Eva. They need to get a device she built before she took Louis Carroll way too seriously (There! That reference is official complete and can be set aside) and that her husband has recently sold to Mercury Labs. They need to break in and switch the real for…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 6×14- “Death of the Speed Force”
The Flash (6×14)- “Death of the Speed Force” Written by: Sam Chalsen & Emily Palizzi Directed by: Brent Crowell That is in no way an ominous title… Anyway, let’s go! We start off with some a mid-air high speed rescue and helicopter dismantling. Pretty standard stuff for Barry but apparently he’s made himself a nice cup of tea so it’s a good thing Wally’s back in town after way, way too long. Wally’s back from his journey of Zen and the art of self-discovery to check in with friends and family and like the good friends and family they are the gang gives him a welcome back party. However, Wally…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 6×13- “Grodd Friended Me”
The Flash (6×13)- “Grodd Friended Me” Written by: Kristen Kim & Joshua V Gilbert Directed by: Stefan Pleszczynski Okay! March is here, everyone’s hounding you to join their basketball brackets, the weather’s flipping the coin between winter and spring and the bi-annual complaining about Daylight Savings has come and gone. Do you know what this means? That’s right! The Grodd episode! Even better it’s a Grodd episode where we establish our brand new status quo! The episode starts with a kick in the gut in the form of Barry being unable to find his parents’ graves. In an interesting comment on how much things have changed since Crisis, the latest…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 6×12- “A Girl Named Sue”
The Flash (6×12)- “A Girl Named Sue” Written by: Thomas Pound & Lauren Certo Directed by: Chris Peppe Much like last week, we pick up pretty much where we left off, with Barry and… (Let’s call her) Not-Iris enjoying married life and Iris stuck in the mirror version of Eva McCulloch’s office so what better time to bring back America’s favorite brutal torture GAME? That’s right, Jay! It’s Good News/Bad News! Bad News, Iris! You’re still stuck in the mirror. However… Good News! You’re not alone! Some lady is in there with you. Bad news! She looks and acts like she might be crazy but… Good news! She’s genius scientist,…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 6×11- “Love is a Battlefield”
The Flash (6×11)- “Love is a Battlefield” Written by: Kelly Wheeler & Jeff Hersh Directed by: Sudz Sutherland The Valentine’s Day episode! And breaking with Flash tradition it’s not either weeks before or weeks after the holiday this time! Anyway… We pick up about where we left off last week. Iris has been spit of the mirror and then it’s the title sequence (I miss the precap, how am I supposed to know what’s going on if I don’t even know if his name is Barry Allen and he is the Flash?) but after that Iris surprises Barry the next morning with a pancake breakfast. Which if you’ll recall Iris’…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 6×10- “Marathon”
The Flash (6×10)- “Marathon” Written by: Sam Chalsen & Lauren Barnett Directed by: Stefan Pleszczynski Now we’re really back. And it’s a whole new, jumbled up world. Where everybody’s around (except for Batman and Wonder Woman but that’s understandable) and potentially able to show up. Let’s celebrate with a cup of coffee. Fortunately, Jitters is reopening after a five month renovation (I hope it’s more than just new turquoise chairs and bus trays because that shouldn’t have taken five months.) But wouldn’t you know it, Jitters can’t even properly reopen without some people trying to shoot up the place and rob them. Fortunately, this was just dumb criminals doing dumb…

The Flash: Season Six Mid-season Catch-Up
Blows dust off keyboard and Cracks Knuckles Good thing I don’t believe in Good-Byes, huh! So we’re back! WOBAM has returned to the internet and I could not be happier for us to be together again: You me, Our Lord and Savior, Patty Spivot: Evil Kara Zor-El! The gang’s all here and it’s going to be just like old times. But first, let’s do a quick recap of season six so far: Things picked up a few months after the end of season five and though the gang is trying to get back to normal, the loss of Nora is still weighing heavy over everyone. As you might expect; Barry…
