Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
There was a pretty stark tonal shift between this week’s Flash and the previous six episodes of Season 4. Where things have been pretty lighthearted and goofy this year, “Therefore I Am” felt much more reminiscent of the darker direction the series took in Season 3. And while it would be nice if The Flash could strike more of a balance between those two extremes, the darker approach definitely seemed justified this week.
As much as this season has frustrated with its reliance on the “monster of the week” formula in the last six weeks, at least the writers aren’t dragging their heels where Clifford DeVoe is concerned. The DeVoe conflict took a major leap forward in this episode, with Barry coming face-to-face with his latest grand adversary for the first time and getting a small taste of how dangerous the world’s smartest man can be. I appreciate how rapidly the writers are moving with DeVoe (more on that decision here). Just think how long it’s normally taken Barry to get to this point in previous seasons. Heck, Season 3 was practically over before we knew Savitar’s identity and back-story. Yet after a mere seven episodes, we already know a great deal about how Clifford DeVoe became the Thinker and what drives him as a villain.
