[Review] The Flash (2014) – 1×22: “Rogue Air”

Home stretch, my friends. We’re almost at the end of Season One, and while there are quite a few plot threads that need to be resolved, this week’s episode does a great deal towards that end.

Hold onto your butts.

Though this episode is old, spoiler warnings are in full effect after the cut.

At a certain point, this episode became the only reason I stayed on with the recaps. I was looking forward to writing about this. Watching wasn’t so bad the first time through, but as I got deeper into analysis, the show made me angrier and angrier. There were several episodes where I just didn’t want to, and had to force myself through.

Finally, as was inevitable, the truth has emerged, and consequences to follow.

Spoilers under the cut.
