Andy Mientus guest stars as the Pied Piper on The Flash “The Sound and the Fury.”
Here’s Mike’s review.
ThisThe Flashreview contains spoilers.
This could have just been a villain of the week episode.
It was a little more than that, thankfully.
Is this the episode that featured the very least Barry Allen/Flash screentime weve ever seen?
This isnt a complaint.
Ive seen other shows takemuchlonger to settle into this kind of groove.
But like I said above, this episode was very much about Harrison Wells, Cisco, and Ms.
They didnt overdo it with the flashbacks, which is good.
The only downside this week was Iris new job at the newspaper.
That press conference scene was important, though, but Ill get to that in a minute.
It doesnt sit right with me that these guys just get life sentences.
Two little notes about Barrys speed this week.
The picture taking trick was a perfectly modern little moment in the life of a speedster.
The Mystery of Harrison Wells… Its certainly the first time weve seen him power down like that as a consequence.
How about Harrisons awesome house?
I should go back to school for a degree in physics.
He also has a stake in Barrys personal success.
I have failed this city.
Surely this was on purpose, right?
Speaking ofArrow…
Flash Facts!
The Royal Flush gang!
Did the writers just forget or something?
All that stuff about vibrational frequencies in this episode?
Thats gonna come up again one of these days.
It might not be this season, but theyll do it.I wrote Flashand the DC Multiverse here.
I wonder if his encounter with Pipers vibrational powers this week will trigger his latent metahuman powers.
When Hartley says that eventually theyre gonna need his help, hes not just being an arrogant jerk.
The Pied Piper eventually reformed, and even helped out the Wally West version of Flash for awhile.
Is sexist douche reporter Mason Bridge supposed to be Mason Trollbridge (who was not a reporter)?
Should that make me care any more about this character?
Let me know what you caught…
