Get A Preview Of The Next Episode Of The Flash

Kevin Smith Returns To Team Flash

♦ Here’s a preview of episode seventeen of The Flash, on 10 April on the CW in the US, directed by Kevin Smith…

I was delighted at how, it’s my third time doing a Flash, and I hadn’t done one in a while. The last one I did was the Killer Frost episode last season. So it was almost a good over a year in between episodes that I did. I always talk about ‘I don’t know how to direct! I’m a fucking idiot!’ But I do know how to direct, I know how to do this.

And I got us out early and shit like that on some nights. Not because I’m good, just because I can put a scene together in my head where I’m like ‘We’ve got that, that, that, that, that.’ Sometimes, they get directors in that do a lot of coverage, cover everything to death, use every lens in the kit. I’m like ‘One lens, ten minutes, let’s go. We’re done.’ So I was able to move things along, get people home early, things like that. We had a good few weeks. And it’s a pretty fun episode.

The Flash: At 11, Barry Allen’s life changed completely when his mother died in a freak accident and his innocent father was convicted of her murder. Now a crime-scene investigator, his dedication to learn the truth about his mother’s death drives him to follow up on every new scientific advancement and urban legend. When his latest obsession — a particle accelerator heralded as a world-changing invention — causes an explosion, it creates a freak storm and Barry is struck by lightning. He awakes from a coma nine months later with the power of superspeed. When he learns that others who have gained powers use them for evil, he dedicates himself to protecting the innocent, while still trying to solve the older mystery.
