Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
The Flash made some major progress on the villain front this week, with this episode giving more screen time to the mysterious Alchemy, furthering Caitlin’s transformation into Killer Frost, introducing Shade and even giving fans a brief taste of Savitar. But as often as this show struggles to do justice to one villain in any given episode, it’s not surprising that not everyone was given their proper due in “Shade.”
The titular villain was easily the most disappointing element of the week. I’m plenty used to throwaway villains of the week by now. For all that this show does well, the writers have never really figured out how to treat the minor villains with the same depth and care as major foes like Reverse-Flash or Zoom. But even by the usual standard, Shade was a very bland, one-dimensional villain. He truly was a walking plot device, a character whose entire mission was to distract Barry and Team Flash while Alchemy worked his influence on Wally. There was no sense that Shade was an actual person with thoughts and motivations and desires of his own.
