The Flash (TV Series)

I'm a huge fan of comic book themed TV series and many TV shows had their season premiere in the last month. One of my favorites is The Flash, now in its fifth season on the CW.

The Flash TV Series

The Flash, otherwise known as Barry Allen, has the ability to run VERY FAST and also has other skills as a result of being able to run very fast. One doesn't watch these shows for correct science, but if you love science fiction, The Flash has a ton of it! Barry uses his super speed to defeat foe after foe, but at times makes mistakes by traveling back in time and changing the timeline, resulting in negative consequences. The Flash also has multiple universes!

An example of bad science? There was an episode of Barry wanting to feel the 'buzzed' effects of alcohol, but he couldn't because his body's metabolism used up the alcohol too quickly before he could feel buzzed. If I remember correctly, they made him a very potent drink, leaving him buzzed...for about 3 seconds. LOL! I guess this sort of makes sense, but the question I asked myself was how he's able to eat and not feel hungry constantly. If your body's metabolism is so fast that the alcohol is removed so quickly, what about food and calories? In the show Barry isn't eating constantly. He remains skinny and fit, but if he's not eating, but his metabolism is too high, he'll quickly lose weight and have ill health effects. But he doesn't. Oh well. The Flash wouldn't last long if he died of starvation in the first episode!

The Flash is a great show with a high level of science fiction. If you enjoy comics and science fiction, check out The Flash. Do it quick before The Flash runs by! LOL! Bad joke? :-) My kids don't always watch the same shows I watch, but they enjoy comic book shows too. My youngest daughter LOVES the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
