REVIEW: The Flash Episode 404
The Flash continues its season with this fourth episode of this fourth season, entitled “Elongated Journey into Night”, and in it we met another one of the 12 new metahumans who found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.
After finding out the two metahumans they have faced so far weren’t the only ones, and that there are still ten more out there, team Flash started trying to find out the identities of these people, which lead them to Ralph Dibny, an ex-police officer who definitely did not have Barry Allen has a personal fan. It was discovered that he was the lead detective in one of Barry’s first cases, and he planted evidence which lead to a suspect’s arrest. Barry was the one who found out about this, which made Dibny get fired. I thought it was interesting that Barry kind of started to identify himself in Dibny, later in the episode. Lately, Barry has also just arrested criminals basing only pretty much on his own morals. I thought it was also interesting they didn’t reveal if the husband was the actual killer or not, leaving what the ex-detective did as still a good or a bad thing.
It didn’t take long for Barry and Joe to find out Dibny actually was on the bus that day, and after that be became the Elongated Man. It was great seeing that Caitlin took a special interest in this guy, because she kind of identified herself in him, with just one difference: no one believed in him, like they used to believe in her. And this was what made her help him.
Dibny continued to be a little bit of a jerk after he got control over his powers, but it was good to see that in the end he turned to the good side of things. Unlike most of the episodes of this show, this time the real villain wasn’t the newly discovered metahuman, but someone who should have as their duty to always protect people: the Mayor. Dibny had a few incriminating pictures of him with another woman, and let’s just say he didn’t like that very much, to the point he wanted to kill, not only Dibny, but also Barry and Joe. In end of the episode, Dibny helped Barry save Joe, and that seems to be the beginning of a partnership, because these two are now friends, and maybe even teacher and student. I hope we get to see Dibny again.
In the meantime, while Barry was busy with all of this, Cisco had some bigger issues to worry about: Gypsy’s father came to our Earth for another chapter of what could definitely be a book he had written, “How to be Super Overprotective When It Comes to Your Daughter”. Apparently, he doesn’t really like the idea of his daughter dating, and he even killed a previous boyfriend of hers. Entering the family tradition, Cisco had to run from Gypsy’s father for 24 hours, in what definitely was a very cat and mouse game, with several ups and downs. In the end, Breacher realized Cisco might just be good enough for his daughter. Glad he caught up with the rest of us. In this episode, we even found out Gypsy’s real name: Cynthia.
What I liked least about this episode was the fact that Cecile is pregnant was pretty much ignored. We didn’t even got to see her in any part of the episode, and this was only mentioned once, and also in a very weird way, in my opinion. I really didn’t like how they handled the pregnancy in this episode, and I am hoping they start to make it matter more in upcoming episodes. After all, this is a big deal, because the family is growing more and more.
Overall, this was a good episode. The Cisco storyline was really funny, and I also liked Dibny’s character, and, as I said, I hope we see him again, because after all that was what we were promised. I am giving this episode an 8.7/10.
The fifth episode of the season is entitled “Girls Night Out”, and in it the Killer Frost storyline will finally be resumed. Not to mention that Felicity is going to pay Iris a visit, so don’t miss it.

REVIEW: The Flash, Episode 403
The Flash continues its fourth season with this third episode, entitled “Luck Be a Lady”, and luck, both good and bad, really had a major impact in it.
In this new episode, we were introduced to the life of Rebecca Sharpe, later known as Hazard, and it was a very unfortune life I must say. Her life totally was a series of unfortunate events (pun intended): boyfriend was cheating on her, she got fired, people always ignored her requests… all until one day she got on a bus. Then everything changed. And not just for her of course, but 11 more people. I was glad they gave a reason why the Thinker wanted the flash back: it wasn’t about the flash himself, but about creating more metahumans. We still don’t know why, but I hope we will find out soon, since he seems to be taking a special interest in them.
Her life completely changed that day: instead of living a life of bad luck, her meta power was luck itself. And while she is extremely lucky, everyone around her is extremely unlucky, including of course, Team Flash. This wave of bad luck was really funny to watch, at least for me. As much as the Flash tried to get her, she was always able to outrun him. Even when Iris tried to get married with Barry, since things were not going well with the wedding plans, the priest had an allergy attack and they were both left hanging.
But Iris and Barry were definitely not the only ones with bad luck in this episode, Joe and Cecile also had their fair share of it. Their house completely started to fall apart, with the pipes blowing up, and the house making weird noises. It was such a mess Cecile saw no other option than to move out. Joe didn’t like the idea at first and that is understandable. That was the house in which he spent most of his life, in which he raised his children. Of course he would still have those memories if they moved out, but it wouldn’t be the same thing. But because he is a gentleman, Joe decided he could move, for Cecile (and of course because the house was falling apart). I was happy that Cecile didn’t make him move after all, because that is, and always will be, the house of the Wests. But this wasn’t the only news Cecile had for Joe. In the end of the episode she dropped a bombshell: she is pregnant. To be honest, I really can’t say what Joe thinks about this. Maybe he was just surprised, but happy? One thing is for sure, he is not going to pull this child away because we can tell he already suffered enough when he realized he missed most of Wally’s life.
In happier news (or at least news everyone seemed to be excited about), Harry came back from his Earth (finally). He said he was staying because he would take care of the team Flash against Hazard, but what really happened was that he was thrown out of Jessie’s own team, so he had nowhere else to go. As expected, Cisco told him he could stay, and I bet everyone was happy about that. I love Harry, and that seems like a popular opinion, so I bet I wasn’t the only one happy he is back for good. And he already started saving everyone, because he was the one who came out with a way to extract Hazard’s good luck.
In the other hand, Wally was a bit down this episode, and nothing besides that would be to expect, since the episode started with Jessie breaking up with him in one of the most horrible ways to do so. And things grew even worse when Wally left, and no one realized he did. To be honest, I didn’t realize it either. That is probably when he fully realized that, now that the Flash is back, he isn’t needed anymore, and that is why he is leaving Central City. I think he made the right choice because if no one notices when he is gone, then he should go find people who do, because it will only be then that he will really start to be happy.
Overall this was a great episode, the best so far this season. It was really funny seeing all the bad luck come out of everywhere, and also to pretty much see Team Flash defeat itself (that is how unlucky they were). I am giving this episode an 8.9/10.
Next week’s episode is entitled “Elongated Journey Into Night”, and in it, Cisco will surprisingly meet Gypsy’s father, which means that some more funny moments our coming our way, so stay tuned.
