“Things You Can’t Outrun” – Review of THE FLASH Episode #3

I’m quickly going to run out of superlatives for this series…the best superhero show in years continues with Episode 3 of THE FLASH (technically episode 103, signifying the first season). The episode is very aptly named “Things You Can’t Outrun”, with an interesting villain revived from Starman’s rogues, and some neat twists and Easter Eggs dropped throughout.

Television News Tidbits

There’s a new clip available from this week’s Flash episode, titled “Things You Can’t Outrun”. It features Joe West and Team Flash discussing where to put metahuman prisoners.

In other news, television actor Roger Howarth has been cast as Mason Bridge, a reporter who becomes Iris’ journalistic mentor. The name is probably a reference to the comics’ supporting character Mason Trollbridge, although it seems the similarities may end there.

Robbie Amell (Ronnie Raymond) talks about Firestorm at The Hollywood Reporter. He notes that Firestorm will be a difficult opponent for the Flash, and talks about how he and Victor Garber (Martin Stein) will be portraying him.

Finally, Grant Gustin and Stephen Amell talk about the Flash/Arrow crossover at IGN. It sounds like it’ll be big.

io9 has our first look at Captain Boomerang on Arrow. The image was posted to someone’s Instagram account recently, but has since been deleted. Boomerang (played by Nick Tarabay) will debut on Arrow and then appear in the crossover episode(s).

First Look At TV’s Heat Wave

A gentleman named Nigel Horsley has posted some photos of the Flash television film crew at his Flickr account, including our first look at Heat Wave (played by Dominic Purcell). He’s wearing an outfit from the fire department, which raises the question of Heat Wave’s origin in the TV series; did he steal a firefighter’s clothes, or is he a member of the Central City fire department?

The cast appears to be filming the tenth episode of the series, which features Captain Cold and Heat Wave teamed up together. There are also some pretty good shots of Cold’s parka in the photo gallery.

Also, CBR has an interview with Geoff Johns about the series, in which he talks about the tone of the show and how they’re embracing comic books. It’s worth reading.

THE FLASH Episode 2 Review – The Pilot Was No Fluke!

The second episode of THE FLASH proves one very important thing – the pilot was no fluke.  This series is for real, and is easily the best superhero show to come along in many years (with apologies to all ARROW, GOTHAM, S.H.I.E.L.D. and other fans). We won’t spoil the HUGE surprise at the end of the show…and what a moment it is…but we can give you at least some highlights here.
