Look, I was as tired of speedster villains as anyone, but after a half-season of the Forces of Nature storyline, I’m suddenly feeling more kindly toward bad guys that make me feel like The Flash is at least The Flash again. And nothing feels more like The Flash than two squads of dueling Godspeeds slo-mo throwing white speed lightning at one another while Chester’s funk beats play in the background.
I’m not made of stone, here.
That kind of story is just straight-up fun to watch, and fun is not a word that could generously be used to describe this season thus far. (The Cisco farewell episode aside. That one was pretty much perfect.) Yes, with just a handful of episodes left in Season 7, The Flash is going to have to figure out what this mini-arc is about pretty quickly, but if there’s anything this show knows how to do, it’s fight villainous speedsters.
If anything, the episode could have used more evil speedsters. Because the true Big Bad in “Enemy at the Gates” isn’t Godspeed, it’s the five competing subplots that took much-need time and attention off the whole evil clones situation and which run the gamut from fairly decent to mostly pointless to utterly cringeworthy.
Sure, Season 7 has a shortened episode count due to the coronavirus pandemic, and it had to spend at least three of those episodes tying up the Mirror Master plot from last year. But perhaps we could have left some of these extra subplots for next year rather than trying to cram them all into this final handful of episodes. “Enemy at the Gates” feels overstuffed with moments that have little to do with our promised Godspeed story, and to be fair none of them (even the one I liked!) feels worth the trade-off.
The middle of a Godspeed clone attack seems to be a strange time to launch The Flash’s first big romantic pairing in who even knows how long, but despite their slightly rushed status, Frost and Chillblaine are still adorably well-matched as a pair of former villains trying to figure out what comes next in a world that will always side-eye them for their previous dark ways. True, The Flash should have given us more than approximately thirty seconds to adjust to the idea of an even mildly reformed Chillblaine before having him fight side-by-side with Team Flash, but that idea that Frost might get the chance to show someone how to be a better person – because Caitlin did it for her – is stll a pretty appealing concept.
