THE FLASH

"Abra Kadabra" - (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) (Content Rating TBD) (HDTV)

DC COMICS' CHARACTER ABRA KADABRA VISITS CENTRAL CITY - The Flash (Grant Gustin) battles Abra Kadabra (guest star David Dastmalchian), a villain from Earth-19, who makes him a tempting offer - release him and Abra Kadara will reveal Savitar's true identity. Desperate to save Iris (Candice Patton), Barry considers taking the deal but Gypsy (guest star Jessica Camacho) breaches in to capture the villain for her own reasons and during the melee, Abra Kadabra manages to escape. Barry is furious that Gypsy interfered but Gypsy refuses to back down, forcing Cisco (Carlos Valdes) to take sides. Meanwhile, Julian (Tom Felton) is still a bit cold towards Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) but when she is severely injured in a battle with Gypsy, he rushes to her side. Nina Lopez-Corrado directed the episode with story by Andrew Kreisberg and teleplay by Brooke Roberts & David Kob (#318). Original airdate 3/28/2017.

Episode 18 of 23


The show goes on a 3-week hiatus after tonight. Returns April 25th.

Ah, here we go. I just was wondering when Abra Kadabra would show up. They made him a modern-day Earth-19 villain and not from the future? Boo!

Am I the only one that hates this Caitlyn/Julian thing? Why do they need that? He's always that evil kid from Hogwarts to me...

I guess you can take back your "Boo!".

As for Caitlyn and Julian, my only problem is that to me is that Tom Felton (unlike the bulk of the cast) really looks his age (30) , if not a bit older.

Mostly a 1-off villain of the week episode, but Abra Cadabra was fun.

and there you have it Killer Frost is born because Julian is fucking selfish.

Should have set the necklace back on her the second she healed.

I'm sure Abra Cadabra comes back at some point. Makes a great a Flash villain given his super power. ALso glad we get more Killer Frost. Panabaker pulls that off far better than the everyday Caitlin we normally get.

Re: The Flash (S3E18) -- "Abra Kadabra" -- 3/28/17
 
I guess I was wrong, but I'm still confused- does he come from Earth-1 or Earth-19, or some other Earth? Apparently not even Gypsy knew. She just said he showed up one day.

Also, if he's from the 64th Century how did the handcuffs and cell hold him at all?

My take is that other than his tech, he is the same as the rest of us. His tech allowed him to travel between earths, but not time jump. What they didn't clearly explain, or I missed it, is how how he came back in time in the first place. Savitar?

Come to think of it, what I forgot to mention earlier is how Barry could catch up with his time vehicle at the end, but trailed way behind the rest of the time. And of course he added weapons! But anyway, but it appears the one thing he can;t do, but speedsters can, it time travel without a device.

I wonder how he was able to speak accent-free modern English. His native language would be unintelligible.

Universal language translation tech from the 64th Century.

Abra Kadabra is my favorite Flash villain of all time and he doesn't deserve being a one-episode villain of the week. He's too good of a villain for that measly role.

I thought his character was fairly well done on the show, though I wasn't completely feeling the David Blaine-like approach.

Team Flash has way too many people on it with powers. The show feels more and more cluttered with Kid Flash, Killer Frost, Vibe, Gypsy's occasional appearance and others all helping Barry himself.

Cisco has become a walking plot device with his dimensional powers. I'd strip those from him next season.

Did anybody catch this at the 50.35 mark when Kadabra was rattling off Flash's enemies; beside himself, there were Thawne, Zoom, Davoe?

Hint of what is in store for next season?

Yeah, we all caught that, but if Barry changes the future then that might not happen.

If they do bring in The Thinker, I wonder which version they'll use - The A.I. version or the one with the noodle strainer on his head?

Enjoyed Abra Kadabra. He deserves a longer stay.

Really liked it. Thought that Abra Kadabra was a good villain and hope he comes back.

Spoiler:
I didn't recognize the guy playing Abra Kadabra so I looked him up on IMDB. Sadly I immediately noticed that he is going to be back on at least one future episode. If I was to guess, probably a few more next season unless they kill him off. They need to add more recurring villains, and he has been one of the better ones.

Good ep but they should have been prepared to drop that stone back on her as soon as she started to heal.

Giantrobo 03-31-17 01:51 PM

Re: The Flash (S3E18) -- "Abra Kadabra" -- 3/28/17
 
Decent ep. I'm kinda tired of the age old TV gimmick..."we need something but instead of just telling someone what's needed, in this case the name from AC before Gypsy takes him... let's play dumb and not say anything to her and work out a deal..."

Gypsy :drool:
