Rating for this week’s Episode: 7.5
This is where the show gets a bit dark and I mean it.
I’ll be frank. It affects me on an emotional level. The plot has Barry going into the Speed Force to save Wally. What he finds is anything but as the Speed Force takes the form of many of Barry’s friends and taunt him for his failures. There’s a sub plot involving Jesse trying to find Savitar to save Wally. It’s a careless move but it did provide a revelation seeing that he is no god. He’s a man.
I like the episode for a few reasons. There isn’t much action but rather it’s focused on emotion. We get several guest appearances with one of them being my favorite, Leonard Snart portrayed by Wentworth Miller. It really hits the nail but at the same time, you can’t help but realize that Barry is a colossal screw up. Everything he does only makes it worse and it’s been this way since Season 2. What makes it worse is that even when he wants to move on, he can’t. Not to mention this is emotional since Jay Garrick has to take Wally’s place. Wally reliving his mother’s passing is a heart-breaking scene. In addition Jesse is heading to Earth-3 to be the Flash of that world. And as if that wasn’t enough, Barry wants to distance himself from Iris, despite the fact that he wants to make sure to save her.
All of this was a mess. The episode was good but it was a massive letdown, especially at the end. I mean that literally. I could be wrong.
Next week is the musical crossover episode. Here we go.
