The best part of The Flash is when we see a glimpse of what’s coming: Barry has been gone for 25 years in the future, and if that 2024 newspaper is telling the truth, we might have a “Crisis on Infinite Earths”, of course I would love a multiplatform event, like that popular fan made poster –and they have the time to make it happen–, but let’s be real here, that’s definitely not an option. So, instead of dreading her all season long, waiting for her to turn her back on the heroes, we got a better explanation to the reason she is in the present: she simply wants to meet her father (and maybe reconnect with her mom?), which leads us to: You know, the way XS was introduced during season 4 made me instantly doubt her appearing everywhere Flash team went, presenting herself as a mysterious girl, just passing by, come on! That’s the way you introduce a character that “turns out she has been evil all along”, and we have already seen that, multiple times. This has its pros and cons, as a regular fan, I’m happy that I don´t have to be forced to watch an episode that tries to recap everything, but it’s not ideal to bring in new fans.Ģ. This episode started right where “We Are The Flash” ended, that made me think it was clearly written for the returning fans, because there’s not much introduction to anybody, while a new watcher can catch up with the dialogue, I don’t think its very expositive. I liked that detail, it’s not the first time that another character does the intro, but I thought it was a cool way to present the newest series-regular character while keeping a trademark trope. This season began with the classic narration that works as a recap page in a comic, but now, it’s Nora who presents the series. Let’s not make jokes about the band IN XS She also is a speedster named XS, which is sooo tacky… lets get right in:ġ.

Turns out she’s called Nora, and she is the daughter of Barry Allen and Iris West.

After the events from last season, the last scene introduced that mysterious character that made cameos in some episodes. Hi folks! The Flash is back with its fifht season and we are all excited to talk about it.
