But leaning into it with a sadistic guard “teasing” a prisoner with the means of their execution is a pretty special brand of dick.
Capital punishment is, let’s face it, fucked up, and the fact that it hasn’t been eliminated even 30 years in the future is a little upsetting. The future Thawne stuff has long been the most compelling element of the season, and that plays beautifully in the episode’s opening minutes. In a vacuum, the stuff that works, really works. It could have been an adequate hour of The Flash, but like “Gone Rogue” it’s another example of how the show is now too far along to outrun its earlier mistakes, and even the good moments are dragged down by the weight of 20 previous episodes of missteps. In a season that has certainly tried to do too much, “The Girl With the Red Lightning” feels like the most overstuffed hour of the season. I sat there and stared at my screen for a moment wondering if there had been an error.īut then when you think of everything that was crammed into “The Girl With the Red Lightning” it makes perfect sense why they wouldn’t even have the extra two or three seconds it would take to actually end that shot properly. Seriously, has there ever been an episode, not just for this show, but in the entire Arrowverse, that ended so abruptly? Ralph realizing too late what Thawne’s plan is and shouting for Barry not to use the mirror gun on the dagger would have been dramatic had it not played on screen like someone edited the end of the episode with a hatchet. What a tremendously powerful opening for an episode of The Flash, and what a bizarre, letdown of an ending. It’s a little bit different than last year when Supergirl turned out to be an epic tease and didn’t really give away all that much at all in terms of the story.This The Flash review contains spoilers. Eastern time, and all episodes of the crossover matter this time around. The event begins starting on Monday at 8:00 p.m. Here is the thing that you have to think about when it comes to this crossover event, though - you need to watch from the very start. It’s going to be a crazy episode, one stuffed full of all sorts of action and drama. This includes evil versions of The Flash, Supergirl, and the Green Arrow in Dark Flash, Overgirl, and Dark Arrow. Everything will go according to plan at first, but then Nazis from Earth-X are going to show up and spoil the fun. Barry and Iris have invited many from across the Arrow-verse, including Supergirl and the Legends of Tomorrow, in order to attend the ceremony. This is not your typical episode in that it’s a part of the massive Crisis on Earth-X crossover, which you can get more information on, including a trailer, by visiting the link here.
