The Flash #117

Throwback Thursday takes us back to another adventure featuring the fastest man alive and the introduction of a character who would become a cornerstone of his rogues gallery for decades. The story begins with the brainchild of the Wiggins Game Company to start a fad and get kids hooked on boomerangs not realizing the spokesman they hired would use his skills, and the spiffy costume provided by the company, to commit crimes across Central City.

Dragons: The Nine Realms - The Sky Torcher

The Third Season of Dragons: The Nine Realms comes to a close with the Dragon Riders facing a new threat of a Sky Torcher and his Flame Thrower minions invading the Crystal Realm. Needing help, and allowing him to undo a mistake that has been haunting him, Tom (Jeremy Shada) finds and enlists the help of Fault Ripper in removing the magma from the realm and pushing the dragons back to the Fire Realm. Tom and the Dragon Riders gain a new ally here, and are successful in restoring the balance to the realm (although by bombarding the Sky Torcher in attacks which contradicts a bit of Tom’s new no violence against dragons policy).

  • IMDb: link

Kai (Samantha Richelle) enlists the help of Alex (Christian Kane) to go undercover at a self-help retreat in order to investigate the cult in control of the private island and rescue a brainwashed young woman (Sarah Edwards) overwhelmed by their influence. The episode is also notable for the return of a vacationing Lockhart (John Storey) who ends up on the couples retreat alone after being dumped for a masseuse. Given a subplot of his own, involving him getting lost in the jungle, Lockhart doesn’t play much of a role in main story until the end of the episode.
