They’ve been using illness language to describe what’s been happening to Iris, but actually something’s coming for Iris and affecting time as it goes. We start where we left off last episode, which is Iris getting the bad news from Deon about her time sickness. IT’S A FLASH CHARACTER’S PREROGATIVE TO CHANGE THEIR MIND I am bored and slightly confused by what the writers are doing. People decide things and then decide the opposite thing in a matter of moments. Iris is infected with green time sparkles that steal stuff. Caitlin and Frost’s mom returns, significantly nicer than she was in previous appearances. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.This week on The Flash: Frost is targeted by the black flames. Some material may be inappropriate for young children. PG-13 - Special parental guidance strongly suggested for children under 13. Some material may not be suitable for children. Motion Picture Association of America rating definitions: “Lockout,” a Film District release, is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, and language, including some sexual references. It feels like a missed chance because Pearce and Grace came ready to play. It’s of a piece with the rest of “Lockout”: cavalierly conceived, generically titled and derivatively plotted.
