TV Review: The Flash Season 3 Episode 7 "Killer Frost" [Emz]

Now this episode was definitely the start of an interesting character arc. The episodes from the beginning of this season have been leading up to this and we had glimpses of this happening from previous seasons  when we met their Earth-2 counterpart.

I am of course talking about Caitlin Snow becoming Killer Frost. 

Here is the Synopsis:

Caitlin's inner Killer Frost is unleashed after she uses her powers to save Barry; on a rampage, Killer Frost goes looking for Dr. Alchemy, kidnaps Julian and battles both The Flash and Vibe; Joe and H.R. have an honest discussion.

Review:

Blimey this episode really kicked this season up a notch. Last episode we had the revealing of the main villain Savitar and we saw Wally become encased in a cocoon.

So how does Caitlin become killer Frost you ask? Well we see Savitar kidnap Barry (The Flash) and seemingly teleport him all over the city, once they arrive at a nearby destination Iris asks Caitlin to help stop Savitar from killing Barry by using her powers, (she informed the team about them last episode) Caitlin was unsure but she helped him anyway.

This is what caused her to lose control over her powers. she manipulates Joe in to thinking that Wally was awake so she could gather information on Doctor Alchemy, what for we don't know in the beginning. 

She abducts Julian to help her search for Doctor Alchemy and she inadvertently reveals that she wants to get rid of her powers. Of course she learns from a follower that Alchemy would not get rid of her powers and that Savitar would have plans for her.

After a battle with Cisco and The Flash, Caitlin is eventually captured. During this time we see Joe and H.R. break open the Cocoon that Wally is in and he hasn't yet completely bonded with his powers. Barry tries to convince Caitlin to help them by giving her the freedom she wants, but only if she kills him. Unable to do this Caitlin rejoins the team and creates a serum which will help Wally stabilize his powers.

Following this Julian blackmails Barry to quit his job else he will tell the Police about Caitlin.

This definitely was quite an episode, there was so much going on but it all interlinked at some point or another. 

I really enjoyed Danielle Panabaker's portrayal of Killer Frost/ Caitlin Snow and look forward to what's to come.

Till next time

TV Review: The Flash Season 3 Episode 6 "Shade" [Emz]

So this episode marks the beginning of Kid Flash.

Here is the synopsis:

Wally starts having dreams about being Kid Flash, making Barry realize he must tell Wally, Iris and Joe what happened to Wally in Flashpoint.

Review:

I enjoyed this episode. It was interesting to see how Doctor Alchemy gives people powers that their Flashpoint selves lived with.

We also see The Flash battle Shade and Caitlin informs Cisco of her powers.

They try to use Wally as Bait to capture Doctor Alchemy , just for it to backfire and him to escape. In this process Wally ends up encased in a Cocoon and we earn that Doctor Alchemy is just a lackey for someone else. Calling themselves Savitar.

That's all for this post.

Till next tme

TV Review: The Flash Season 3 Episode 3 "Magenta" [Emz[

So I have recently watched episode 3 of The Flash Season 3. This episode is called "Magenta".

This episode Guest stars Joey King (Ramona and Beezus, White House Down, Wizards of Waverly Place.) We also have the reappearance of Jesse and Harry Wells from Earth 2.

Here is the synopsis:

Wells asks Barry and Caitlin to talk Jesse out of using her speedster powers; Magenta uses a power to control metal to terrorize the city.

Review:

This was a good episode. Alchemy strikes again with Magenta attacking the city, we also see Jesse and Harry Wells form earth 2, making an appearance as Jesse gets her speed. This upsets Wally who doesn't have any powers yet.

I liked the way Harry as an protective Dad and didn't want Jesse to go Zooming off into danger (no pun intended) he tried to get the others to dissuade her, but she figures it out.

The ending was great, with Jesse getting her first taste at helping to save the day and sing her speed to its full potential

I will hopefully watch episode 4 soon.

Till then
