The Flash Strikes Gold With “Goldfaced”
Warning: Full spoilers for The Flash Season 5, Episode 13 below. If you need a recap on where we left off, check out our review of Season 5, Episode 12.
It’s probably not the greatest sign that the most enjoyable episode of the Flash since the crossover is also one that downplays the Cicada storyline in favor of a new villain. Still, a win is a win, and “Goldfaced” is a welcome example of the series firing on all cylinders with its ensemble cast.
I’ll admit to not being overly enthusiastic about the premise of “Goldfaced” coming in. The basic plot wasn’t so different from “What’s Past Is Prologue” from a few weeks back. Team Flash cooks up a goober that promises to stop Orlin Dwyer’s rampage, and Barry sets out to track it down. And just like before, said goober winds up being useless in the end.

Avengers: Endgame Could Be the Longest Marvel Movie Ever
Joe and Anthony Russo, the directors of Avengers: Endgame, have confirmed the film is “at the three-hour mark,” though edits are still being made to the film.
In an interview with Collider, one of the directors said, “I think the studio is down with what the best story is. Right now, we think the movie is playing well and we’ve had great responses from our test audiences and we’re feeling very good about where it is. We’re still doing work to it. We’re not done with it.
“Again, this is a culmination film of 22 movies, it’s a lot of storytelling to work into it. Emotion is an intrinsic part of that to us. When you have to tell a really complicated story and you want strong emotional moments with the characters, it just requires a certain amount of real estate. This one, in particular, feels like three hours worth of real estate.”
