Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
Perhaps the single biggest complaint with The Flash’s third season so far involves the wasted potential of the Flashpoint timeline. The show has given every impression that it’s finished with Flashpoint now that the focus has shifted to altering the future and saving Iris. But the good news is that “Untouchable” suggests otherwise. This episode used some lingering loose ends from Flashpoint to good effect, while at the same time hinting that Barry Allen isn’t quite done dealing with the fallout of that alternate reality.
The big takeaway from this week is that there are still a couple leftover metahumans from Julian’s Alchemy days. One of those is a mystery for another day, but the other turned out to be Clive Yorkin (Matthew Kevin Anderson), a villain with the power to rapidly decay any person or object he touches. A good premise for an X-Files episode, in other words. As usual, the writers didn’t do nearly as much with the “villain of the week” as they could. Yorkin has a particularly interesting back-story in the comics where researchers attempted to rewire his brain to force him to associate crime with pain, A Clockwork Orange-style. I feel like a broken record sometimes complaining about Arrow-verse shows wasting their villains, but it never ceases to be frustrating.
