The Flash Season 5 Episode 4 "News Flash" Review


Barry and Iris face the ultimate parenting test when Team Flash battles Spin, a savvy millennial armed with meta tech, and a dangerous agenda for their daughter, Nora. Ralph is feeling defeated until unlikely source issues a challenge to help boost his confidence.

This was a really interesting and fun episode that I really enjoyed how it introduced a new kind of meta-human. Everything around Spencer was really great with her using her meta-human phone to help boost her popularity by making the new happen based on what she wrote and hypnotizing people into making the events happen. It was really interesting on how Spencer put a heavy focus on boosting up XS and how she did it by tearing down The Flash. I just didn't get how she thought it would be good to have XS kill The Flash, how would her story make it seem like XS is the hero. Then the big reveal of why Nora doesn't like Iris was a big surprise and really interesting where Iris chose to hide Nora's powers her whole life. Now I'm just really curious to know what happened six months ago in Nora's life that caused her to discover her hidden powers. Then the discoveries with Cicada were interesting with Ralph looking into the masks and Sherloque finding out that Cicada has a bad lung due to the satellite explosion. And it was really great how the two of them just barely missed Cicada when they went to ask some questions. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and great episode that had an interesting story to it.
