The Flash | Season 8 Episode 10 - "Reckless"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

(I know, I know... Super later with that Peaky Blinders rant... let's not talk about that)

So, I'm back with one more The Flash rant and... This was the most basic and lame The Flash episode ever. It's not even that it was boring, it's just that it was pretty uneventful... This whole episode revolved around Frost, which wasn't bad because I really like her but... Meh! It just feels like not much happened and what did happen was in those last seconds of the episode and it was really predictable! But let's rewind the events of the episode.

The episode actually began with them addressing the whole Iris situation, and something different happened - they actually told Barry, which I wasn't expecting to happen this soon. And basically Deon tells them that Iris is causing time to fracture around her. This whole situation is addressed once again later in the episode but the overall plot was the whole Frost thing so... Let's talk about that now.

It all begins when Frost is attacked by the black flame, to which they think might be because it is attracked to the cold of Frost's powers (her cryokinetic abilities). Realising that, Frost contacts Carla (her and Caitlin's mother) to work on a plan to use her abilities as bait and try to trap the flame in a fusing sphere. Of course that doesn't end well and sends Barry down a spiral about if he should use his friends as bait and injure them if something happens.

Luckily, Barry and Caitlin, who were mad that Frost used herself as bait, got around to it and, along with Carla (Frost and Caitlin's mother) they work on a new plan to use Frost and Carla's powers together to attrack the flame (because yes, turns out Carla is developing some ice powers as well).

However, that new plan doesn't work either and sends Carla to cardiac arrest and, agaisnt Carla's will, Frost pulls her out and saves them both - the thing is, they still couldn't trap the flame and so both plans went down the drain...

Meanwhile... Remember that Iris storyline with Tinya? Well, yes... Sue and Iris are still helping Tinya find her mother and they do eventually find her but it's in that moment that Iris's eyes flash green and when Tinya's mother goes to help Iris, she touches her and vanishes in a green light.

But that's not the end of the episode. The episode actually ends with the Black Flame appearing now to Caitlin and, instead of attacking her, it speaks to her - using Ronnie's voice and words. 

Well, are we surprised?! I mean, I didn't think of that initially but while on twitter I saw a lot of people talking about Ronnie and I instantly thought that must be it! I mean... The preview makes it look like it might be a set up and it might still be but I think it would be really good for the show to bring back Ronnie and for once it would make sense! But yeah... That was it for this episode.

Although this did move the plot along, it also didn't do much... Also, there's two storylines going on right now and I'm not sure which one is like the main story of the season. Initially I thought the Black Flame would be the big bad of the season but, if it does end up being Ronnie, it doesn't make sense that he is the big bad of the season... At the same time, Iris' storyline looks a lot more intense and, honestly, it looks like it matters a lot more to Barry and since he's the main character... I guess that might turn out to be the main story of the season... But we'll see.

That's it from me but let me know what you thought of the episode and which one do you think will be the main focus of the season? Tell me in the comments and I'll talk to you soon with that Peaky Blinders rant.

Love,
Daniela.
