The Flash Season 7 Episode 2 Review: The Speed of Thought

This The Flash review contains spoilers.
The Flash Season 7 Episode 2
Many of us probably suspected that The Flash wasn’t likely to keep Iris in the Mirror Universe much longer, since that particular subplot trotted past tired and well into dull when we were still officially in Season 6. Yet, “The Speed of Thought” manages to pull off getting her out in a truly interesting and unexpected way, one that promises uncomfortable and unpredictable consequences.
It’s a pleasant surprise from a show that I often forget is really good at doing stuff like this and has only gotten better at it under Eric Wallace as showrunner. The Flash is a superhero show in its seventh season that’s still capable of genuine surprise, both in terms of plot twists and character, and that’s part of the reason it’s still such a delight to watch.
“The Speed of Thought” is one of those instances.
