Literal throwbacks like an older Flash suit and Eobard Thawne's phasing speech from season one also fly past at superhuman speed, but without Barry's abilities, it can be hard to keep up with everything that's going on. In this regard, the season five premiere is a return to form for The Flash. Like father, like daughter, this new hero also starts off as 'selfish and really bad at being a speedster', but XS is still rather endearing and her arrival helps the show balance the more serious elements of recent seasons with the fun of the early days. Instead, the first episode reintroduced elements of earlier seasons through the character of Nora West-Allen, Barry and Iris' daughter from the future.
The Flash sped back into our lives this week for the season five premiere, once again diving into the past.įor once though, Barry Allen didn't mess up the timeline. Note: This article contains spoilers for the season five premiere of The Flash.
