Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
Tonight’s new Flash episode had a fairly big hurdle to overcome right out of the gate. It’s not fair to tease viewers with a King Shark appearance one week and then not follow up on that appearance the following week. Despite that rather glaring omission, “The Darkness and the Light” was ultimately a satisfying experience. This week brought new players into the fold and added a little darkness into Barry Allen’s world while also taking care to offset that darkness with a little innocent romantic comedy.
The appeal of King Shark’s brief cameo last week wasn’t even the character so much as the spectacle. Not since Season 1’s Gorilla Grodd episode has the series impressed that much with the quality of its special effects. The cost and time involved in rendering such a massive and outlandish villain are probably the exact reasons why he was absent this time. I’ll grant that that effort is probably better saved for when Grodd makes his next appearance. But it was also strange that the show basically glossed over the first meeting between Barry and Earth Two’s Harrison Wells. Whatever shock, dismay and anger Barry might have felt upon glimpsing his old enemy in the flesh were pretty much left up to the viewer’s imagination. It’s almost like there’s a lost mini-episode linking “The Fury of the Firestorm” and “The Darkness and the Light.”
