The Flash - Legends of Today

After weeks of laying building blocks leading up to the mid-season premiere of the new spin-off Legends of Tomorrow, The Flash kicks things into high-gear with the first part of a Flash/Arrow crossover that brings he heroes of both cities together to fight the unstoppable force of the immortal Vandal Savage (Casper Crump). Although Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh) is nowhere to be found, all other hands are on deck for a storyline that begins in Central City with Savage’s arrival searching for the reincarnated Kendra Saunders (Ciara Renée) and her Hawkman (Falk Hentschel). The plot will lead back to Starling with Barry (Grant Gustin) calling on the help of Oliver (Stephen Amell) and company to keep Saunders safe while trying to figure out exactly what the group is dealing with.

The Flash - Enter Zoom

The aptly titled “Enter Zoom” brings Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) face-to-face with the season’s big bad Zoom for the first time. In an episode that showcases Barry’s impatience with waiting for the villain to strike out again, Barry enlists the help of Linda Park (Malese Jow) to play the role of her evil doppelganger in an attempt to lure Zoom into a trap. Lets just say things don’t go exactly as planned.

The Flash - The Darkness and the Light

While delivering an episode that pits the Flash (Grant Gustin) against another meta-human from Earth-2, and allows one of the show’s recurring characters to do double-duty in the episode by playing two distinctly different versions of herself, “The Darkness and the Light” also introduces the S.T.A.R. Labs crew to the Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh) of Earth-2. Despite being only super-powered thief on her own world, Dr. Light (Malese Jow) proves to have murderous intentions towards both her Earth-1 counterpart and the Flash when she shows up in town to do Zoom‘s bidding.

The Flash - The Fury of Firestorm

Despite introducing both a new hero and villain while searching for a suitable candidate to merge with Dr. Stein (Victor Garber) and calm the unstable Firestorm Matrix, and spending most of the rest of the episode dealing with Iris (Candice Patton) and her family drama given the unexpected return of her mother (Vanessa Williams), “The Fury of Firestorm” hides its best moments on the periphery of the storyline of the week. Don’t get me wrong, I think Franz Drameh did a fine job as Jefferson “Jax” Jackson, and I like the look of the new Firestorm slightly better than the original (although it could still us a little more comic book styling), and I wouldn’t mind seeing Demore Barnes return as Tomahawk, but “Fury of Firestorm” saves its best for last.
