The Flash Season 5 has been getting a lot of mixed ratings and emotions. There were those people who claim that the DC-inspired series is worth watching in comparison to the other series. Some fans, however, state that the show is getting monotonous than ever. And the latter opinion became much more apparent when the sixteenth episode aired on March 12.
The sixteenth episode is called Failure Is An Orphan. And many fans are looking forward to this episode as it is already revealed in the previous ones that "something big or someone" will arrive. Accordingly, fans thought that Godspeed would be making its debut on the latest episode. However, they got it all wrong.
Yes, a new villain has come to meet Team Flash. But, it's not Godspeed. Surprisingly, it's the new Cicada. And it has been revealed that it was Grace all along. Although the tenth episode of the current season has already given away this notion, it took more than five episodes to unveil this revelation. And in those episodes, there was no progress made in terms of the plot until the recent one came, according to Player FM.
But even so, other fans take this new revelation as a great development to the storyline. This is because many thought that the previous Cicada is getting a little monotonous. Den of Geek explained that the suspense and mystery about Cicada had been long gone for weeks now. Hence, this discovery can be somehow taken as a good thing for the series.
There is no doubt that the latest season of The Flash has been receiving a lot of praises ever since it was first aired on CW. "It has a promising start."
As it appears, fans and viewers of the show were satisfied and impressed with the storyline and plot of season 5. And with the Nora-Thawne relationship in the plot, this, even more, strengthened the apparent success of the latest season.
However, things changed when the show has reached its midseason as it caught both constructive and destructive criticisms. According to some fans, The Flash season 5 is becoming more like the previous seasons all over again, and it's not good. As for others, they think that the show has become a real improvement in comparison to the show's fourth season.
Now, many are hoping that the next episode would bring much more light to the recent events. And since the fifth season is nearly on its end, certainly, everyone will have to pay much more attention to the remaining episodes.
