The Flash: Season 9, Episode 2 “Hear No Evil” (B-)
I’m not feeling especially patient right now with this show, though it’s impossible to give up with less than a dozen episodes left after investing more than 170 hours of my life into it. It’s going to take a while, I’d imagine, for us to learn who’s behind the Reverse-Flash’s mask, and if it’s just another version of Eobard Thawne, I don’t know why we don’t know that yet. There’s still the puzzling Batman connection, and the only reason it could all be worth it if it’s actually a setup to get to see handful of Arrowverse characters again before this TV universe closes for good. But I don’t think that will be the case, and instead we’re just going to be seeing characters we may have seen before who I’ve completely forgotten about since it’s been years since their last appearances (Hartley is a great example of that). The introduction of Snow, now Khione, a character who isn’t Caitlin and isn’t Frost and is just a simplistic representation of kindness and innocence, feels unnecessary, and the worst part of it is that Mark, whose portrayer Jon Cor is now a series regular, isn’t a member of Team Flash because he doesn’t agree with the decision not to resurrect Frost. It’s just going to be a cyclical game of Team Flash stopping him and then him eventually partnering with them when they have a common enemy. Joe and Cecile don’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon despite Joe’s misgivings about staying in Central City, but having major characters depart doesn’t feel nearly as impactful in a show’s final season.
