The Flash: Blocked (2018)
An excellent follow up to last weeks episode. The CW is showing some consistency
CW has brought their game this year. An excellent follow up to last weeks season premiere. Their were obviously low points in the episode like the situation with Cecile, but we have to remember that it's just character development since she is a series regular this season. Good running scenes and this weeks villian was just a means to set up a first showdown/encounter with Cicada. Interesting move by the writers to have the first showdown this early in the season, but it keeps you wanting more. The highlight of this episode was that first encounter followed up by a trailer for next weeks episode that has us Flash fans longing for more.
And if you haven't done so yet, watch Arrows season premiere.. absolutely excellently (this is here just to drive the point home that the CW has listened to the fans and really pumped out some quality episodes in these first two weeks.
The Flash: Nora (2018)
Just the kind of start we all want. The flash is hopefully back
I'm a long time CW fan and an even bigger Flash fan. This episode started the season off very very strong. The Nora Allen story line is promising and Barry realizing that the time vault newspaper clipping still happens was a huge surprise. I was very surprised the that the writers let us know that he actually disappears and confirmed it with Nora's own newspaper clipping. Everything from the running scenes to the use of the flash ring and the new suit was amazing.
This got me very excited for the whole season and hopefully it keeps the course of having strong episodes like this one. I was interested in the mini arrow-Esque flashback of Thawne teaching Barry how to phase and Barry using the same words to teach Nora how too.
All in all good episode. Don't be to upset of the Cicada reveal at the end of credits scene, they can't give up too much of him yet, but this looks like an entirely new and fresh villain with the promise we all thought the thinker would be. All in all a great start
Mayans M.C. (2018)
Don't hate because it's not Sons
We all know how first episodes of Sons went. This is all set up for the remaining 9 episodes. There was good material in the show and simple nods to Sons that were enjoyable. From the patches on the collar of Packers cut that are the same ones from Jax's to a Gemma cameo. Give the show time, we have to remember that Sons was a one in a generation kind of show.
