The seemingly interminable struggle between Team Flash and The “I know everything you’re going to do before you do it so you can’t touch me” Thinker continues in “Think Fast,” an amusing title for a show about a speedster.
Flash and company continue to flail around and find a way to do something, anything, to stop, or even slow down, DeVoe.
“Therefore She Is” shows us a good bit about Marlize, the Mechanic, Thinker’s wife and chief hench-woman. It jumps back and forth between their past and present, and makes a little bit more sense out of their relationship.
I have been saying for a while now that I was disappointed, overall, in most of the CW/DC Universe shows this season, the exceptions being Legends of Tomorrow and the debut of Black Lightning (which was amazing). I don’t know if this is just an outlier or a hopeful sign of things changing, but this episode of The Flash was one of the better ones they’ve done in a long time.
I try to do my reviews without spoilers. That’s not going to be the case this time.
Team Flash continue their efforts to account for the remaining “bus metas” and defeat the annoyingly all-knowing Thinker in “Null and Annoyed.”
A long-running tradition in comics is screwing with the hero’s powers. That comes up in this episode, which you can probably tell from the title. “Run, Iris, Run” is another take on this convention, and a switch from the oft repeated instruction to Barry.
Flash takes something of a break from the Thinker this week to deal with an entirely different threat in “Enter Flashtime.” It’s a better done story than many of them have been lately and it shows some interesting ideas.
A disclaimer: I usually try to make my reviews fairly spoiler free. That won’t be the case with this one. Be warned.
