Despite its title, “The Flash & The Furious,” The Flash Episode 5.10 seemed to be lacking in speed and fury. Maybe it’s because Barry was locked up in the pipeline for most of the episode, or maybe it was because we had a team-up of a new villain with a reluctant one, but the meandering storyline …

This year’s three-part crossover, aptly titled Elseworlds, began on Sunday night with The Flash and will continue through Monday and Tuesday with Arrow and Supergirl.
