From Speed Force shenanigans to sinister metahumans who just need a proper heart-to-heart, Barry Allen has certainly been no stranger to obstacles during his seven-year sprint through
The Flash. For season seven, however, the biggest obstacles came from our very real Earth-Prime. For one, the COVID-19 pandemic derailed the seemingly unstoppable CW-verse, causing the Scarlet Speedster’s sixth season to come to an abrupt halt.

This is the longest episode of the season (I think it clocks out at 61 minutes), and that makes sense given how much narrative ground it needed to cover, but a good chunk of that time is dedicated to space battles that don’t really accomplish much of anything. There are several bad-ass one liners. Lots of pew pew zap zap, etc, and just enough technobabble to make it all seem vaguely grounded.
