Hazard comes to Central City and The Flash keeps up its focus on humor.
ThisThe Flashreview contains spoilers.
The jokes are funny.
The tone is bouncy.
This cast is extraordinarily well suited to rocketing from joke to joke, and their comic timing is impeccable.
I totally get whyThe Flashis taking a less serialized approach this season.
The second half of season three was exhausting in that regard.
Returning to the fun and humor of season one isnt just a natural exercise, its the smart move.
But like I said last week, the transition is a little too jarring.
I probably would be a little easier on this episode if not for one thing: Wallys departure.
What were we supposed to feel in this moment?
Theres been no indication that Wally has been conflicted about his role as Kid Flash.
In fact, the impression has been quite the opposite.
Look, kindly dont mistake me for a hater.
I love this show, and I certainly havent hated these episodes.
And there are 10 more of these villains that Thinker is assembling?
I hope Im wrong.
Flash Facts!
OK, so a couple of cool things about Hazard.
Her blackjack dealer work uniform sure looks more than a little like her ridiculous comics garb, too.
Blue Valley is where the comics version of Wally West grew up, so thats kinda cool.
And its not like he isnt experienced in traveling to different Earths…but maybe it wont be necessary.
Speaking of Batman, ready for a cool Batman connection?
The version of Frank Sinatras Luck Be a Lady has bandleader Nelson Riddle at the helm.
We see Algernon Arcade Supply as the source of some of Barrys woes.
The bad luck pilot sure looks a little a little like Capt.
Chesley Sullenerger, who famously landed a plane on the Hudson River after a bird strike killed his engine.
Also, Canada Geese are the absolute worst.
Did…did The Thinker just say Becky Sharpe has a Myspace page?
Shes supposed to be 24.
