‘The Flash’ season 2, episode 13 review: Killer Frost’s kill, Reverb, more rock Earth-2
Going into Tuesday night’s new episode of “The Flash,” we expected a lot from Earth-2, and we feel pretty confident at the moment that this hour delivered and then some. It may be one of the most awesome, entertaining hours of TV that the show has ever put on the air.
Big deaths – Let us start by going ahead and getting the big news out of the way right now: Lots of people died over the course of the hour. The biggest one is the Earth-2 version of Joe West at the hands of Killer Frost, who is actually a lounge singer in this world. Then, we can turn to Earth-2 Ronnie a.k.a. Deathstorm, and even Earth-2 Cisco a.k.a. Reverb. Both were incredibly cool in their own way, but gone.
It’s a bummer in some ways to see Reverb especially gone already given how cool and interesting he was. The only survivor in Zoom’s attacks on his meta-humans was Killer Frost, who at least understood her place in the world. We have to assume that losing Ronnie (who seems to die in every universe) will make her even angrier, plus much more formidable down the road.
Surprises – Supergirl was seen in the multiverse! Also, the original John Wesley Shipp Flash! Barry has now been captured by Zoom and in his lair, which probably is the biggest surprise of all at the moment given that the whole mission was about going there and stopping him with Harry’s help.
Another fun surprise was seeing the relationship between Iris on Earth-2 and Barry after Earth-1 Barry stepped into the place of his doppelganger. They’re married now, and clearly the Allens have a lot of friends. Anyone notice that names like “Hal” and “Bruce” were listed on the phone?
We’re going to take some time to digest all of this, but for now one word can be used to describe it: Awesome. Grade: A.
