KABOOM! Yes, this explosive episode made our heads collectively go BOOM! Kelly Frye’s Plastique may have met an abrupt end, but she will be remembered! She is only the first in what is inevitably a long line of subjects General Eiling is seeking out to “make the world a safer place.” But whatever his means, he’ll have to find a way without Wells because our favorite, mysterious scientist made it absolutely clear that he would have no part in Eiling’s games.Read more…

Brr! It’s cold in here! I was hoping it wasn’t just me feeling the chill this week. I can take a bit more of the icy weather than most, but this week it was downright chilling! How fantastic was it to have Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold on season 1 episode 4 of The Flash? The puns were in rapid-fire mode as not only the episode title is indicative of the band of super villains yet to come, but also the allusions to “heat” and “cold” welcome Miller and former co-star of Prison Break Dominic Purcell into the fold.
The Shadow and I, Miss Ice, try to break down this phenomenal episode as best we can! There’s a lot to cover, from Cisco creating the cold gun that brings about the events of the episode to the repercussions of that creation as it pertains to Barry, to Felicity’s (breathtaking) presence in Central City. Opposites attract, kind of like heat and cold, hmm? But unfortunately, Felicity and Barry are both smoakin’ and a relationship between them just seems pointless. Read more…

Thank you for catching this transmission of Central City Underground! We apologize to The Rising Tide for hijacking over their hijack, but some things just can’t be helped. We had a really good purpose for doing so, though! There was a new episode of The Flash on The CW this Tuesday, and Mr. The Shadow and Miss Ice (that’s me) really needed to talk about it.
From flashbacks to the night of the particle accelerator explosion to more subtle hints about Harrison Wells’ origin, this episode was packed with superhero-origin goodness. (Raise your hand if you were thinking Smoke Monster when The Mist transformed. Eh?) Kyle Nimbus, a.k.a. The Mist, becomes the first of potentially MANY villains to be locked away in the particle accelerator at S.T.A.R. Labs. Hmm. How do we feel about this? Read more…

In episode 12 of Central City Underground, we dive into discussions about the second episode of season 1 entitled “Fastest Man Alive.” The Red Streak has been lighting up Central City and there are a couple people who aren’t quite on board with this plan yet, Dr. Snow and Detective West. As much as this episode is a story of Barry Allen adjusting to and learning about his new powers, it is also an exploration into how those around him process it as well. Read more…

In this first transmission of season 1 of The Flash, Miss Ice and The Shadow waste no time in getting down to business. Almost immediately, several questions and Easter eggs are laid down for the future of this show. Barry’s mother was murdered when he was 11 and his father was arrested immediately and convicted for her murder. Now in Iron Heights for 14 years, Barry is still determined to uncover the truth, being the only one who believes in his father’s innocence. He is adamant that there was someone else in the living room with him and his father that fateful morning, a ball of light.
Or…were there two balls of light? The Shadow and Miss Ice are pretty certain they see two distinct blurs, one yellow and one red, very reminiscent of Flashpoint Paradox. And yet, Barry tells the gang at S.T.A.R. Labs that he saw a man inside the light (singular man). The Shadow lays down a great theory that we might wait the whole season, if not multiple seasons, to uncover in its entirety. What is your theory? Who are the two balls of light and why did their presence end with the death of Nora Allen? Read more…
