The Flash continues on a pretty good streak, provided you can accept we’re on Silver Age track, veering a little close to Batman 1966.

The Flash Review: “Tricksters”
The Flash rebounds this week, thanks to a remarkable (and intertextually insane) performance by Mark Hamill and a developed backstory for Harrison Wells.
The Flash Review: “Rogue Time”
Above: Some of The Flash‘s cast sing the theme from Firefly.
The Flash has managed a fine balancing act between Silver Age Superhero Comic and twenty-first century television. This week it stumbles.
The Flash Review: “Out of Time”
CISCO: What’s going on? What do you see?
FLASH: A dead body.
CISCO: Barry, you’re in a morgue. You’re going to have to be a little more specific than that.
The Flash returns with a two-part episode that may redefine the show.
Or it might not….
Flash Review: “Fallout”
The Firestorm saga continues, Barry learns that his adult self tried to prevent his mother’s murder and failed, Wells reveals [spoiler]his yellow streak[/spoiler], and General Eiling has a hairy encounter.
The Flash Review: “The Nuclear Man”
The past appearances of Firestorm deliver, as the Flash confronts a future hero, and both wrestle with the challenges of multiple identities.
Flash Discussion: “Crazy for You”
This week, we get a Peek-a-boo at a new rogue, a glimpse into Barry and Caitlin’s personal lives, a role for Barry’s father, a set-up for Firestorm’s reappearance, and a teaser for the most-anticipated Flash villain’s debut.
If that big hairy deal at the conclusion may be the High Point (though it was a decent episode overall), the Low Point continues to be the constant reminders that S.T.A.R.’s prison (apart from being illegal) is practically unworkable.
The Flash Review: “The Sound and the Fury”
A new villain has a vendetta against Harrison Wells, and he reveals one of his secrets. Meanwhile, Iris gets a job at a newspaper because of her Flash connection (and she briefly mistakes her editor for another DC character).
We also get Flash-backs, Arrow-like, to Cisco’s first day and the Pied Piper’s origins.
So there’s a lot to “The Sound and the Fury.” What does any of it signify?

Captain Cold and Heat Wave head into town. Who ya gonna call?
