NOC Recaps The Flash: DTR (Define-The-Relationship)

Christelle G.

“Potential Energy,” the title of 2016’s first episode, is pure nerd genius.

It’s difficult to serve your own story when you must also plant seeds that will bloom in a completely separate show that will happen several months from now. Like I said in last week’s Arrow recap, “The Fury of Firestorm” felt more like a prequel to Legends of Tomorrow than a self-contained Flash story. Still, there were a lot of things to like from the episode that launches Firestorm 2.0.
