The Flash | Season 7 Episode 16 - "P.O.W."


Spoiler Alert!

 

Hello people!

Back with another The Flash rant and, this time, neither a good nor a bad one. After last week's episode, I gotta say, I was pumped for this episode which, unfortunately, was a downside because this wasn't as good as the previous one.

This one still had some interesting things to it such as the continuation of the Godspeed story-line as well as Diggle! Yes, Diggle was a special guest in this episode and that made this episode so much better! Arrow has always been my favorite Arrowverse show and having Diggle here brought back so many memories! Not only that but also the fact that Diggle is a great character and he has some 'unfinished business' with the whole Green Lantern ring that, actually, played a part in this episode so... That was nice and it also opens some doors for future stories related to Diggle. But let's talk about the actual episode!

As I said, this episode revolved around Godspeed again and it's really unfortunate that there's only two more episodes left because this plot is so much more interesting than everything else they had this season. What this did was make everyone hate this season to the point that, even with this last few good episodes, we can't like this season, and I'm pretty sure if they had the Godspeed story-line throughout the whole season, this would've been so much better. It looks like they never get it right... But anyway so we're back to Godspeed and that's right in the beginning of the episode that Diggle appears, which was super nice.

He brings a device that freezes in time anything that passes through and that's how they get to trap one of the Godspeeds, in order to figure out what the hell is going on. However, when the Godspeed that they trap reveals that their intent is to kill the original Godspeed, Barry realizes that he can't be on either side and tries to come up with another plan. After this, Diggle gives one of his speeches and that's when Barry decides to go to the future to find out what is wrong and see if Nora is okay. That's when he travels to the future that he encounters Deon that reveals that what is going on isn't related to Nora but to Iris instead. To be completely fair, this is one of those cases where I didn't quite get what was going on so I just ran with it.

After that, Barry decides that the best thing to do is to go after August Heart himself (the real Godspeed) before he becomes Godspeed. And they do it. They find him, before anything happens and... I guess that's it for now?! Again, a bit confusing so I just rolled with it. The episode than actually ends with Nora arrive to the present alongside Bart Allen which that was a huge surprise and that got me excited for the next episodes!

There were a few other little story-lines such as the Joe and Kramer one that doesn't really appeal to me, even though it was revealed that Kramer should've been dead and she isn't so there's something there, and then there's the Esperanza and Allegra story that, to be honest, was really useless because they went to great lengths to save Esperanza and then, in this episode, she just died so... Yeah, really useless story-line.

Anyway, that's it from me. Not as good as the last one but not as bad as the remaining of the season so... Let me know what you thought of this episode and if you're excited about the last two and I'll talk to you next week!

Love,

Daniela.
