The Flash | Season 9 Episode 12 - "A New World, Part Three"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

So here we are... This is the second to last episode and I know I'm super late with it but I had to review it before the very last episode of the show... This is really bittersweet because this episode (episode 12) wasn't the best and that doesn't give me any hopes for the series finale. It's weird because the previous one was pretty bad and all we wanted was for them to focus on Eddie's storyline... Well, they did focus on Eddie in this one but it was just weird! Not a lot made sense and the episode just had a strange vibe overall. I can't pin point exactly what it was but it just felt wrong...

Once again, the crystal possesses someone - Nora West-Allen this time - in order to get Eddie to accept being the Negative Speed Force's vessel. Of course Barry appears just in time and escapes with Eddie. Then we learn that Eddie is angered by how his sacrifice didn't erase the Reverse-Flash and how he was forgotten and Barry lived an 'happy' life and married Iris. 

Then, there's another side plot that, honestly, that might have been why this episode just didn't make much sense and was kind of a waste of time, because we focused on Cecile after she projects her consciousness to the future and learns that she hasn't been visiting Joe and their daughter as much in the last few years and that just messes with her and makes her unable to help Team Flash in the present. That until Chester has a 'deep talk' with her and of course she suddenly is able to help them and frees Nora from the crystal's influence. 

At the same time, in the future, Eddie asks 2049 Iris to be with him again, but she rejects him. After that the timeline begins to fracture and 2049 Iris talks with present Barry before he is pulled away again. The episode ends with Eddie accepting the power of the crystal and opening up a portal.

We do know that this last episode will deal with multiple villains from all The Flash's seasons, one of them being Zoom, which I am indeed excited about, but I'm also cautious because from the last few episodes, it doesn't really look like they will be able to wrap everything up the best way but we'll see... 

So this is the final time we are able to speculate and theorize so let me know, in this last few minutes, what do you think will happen in the series finale and do you think Barry will vanish at the end? I would say yes and I that's the way I would want the show to end - no happy ending - but I hope they will be able to surprise me (in a good way, of course). Anyway, let me know all your final thoughts and I'll see you in the last The Flash rant! I will miss the show even though this past few seasons have been sh*t.

Love,
Daniela
