Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Tuesday, March 9. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
The Flash (The CW, 8 p.m.): It’s been a long road for Barry Allen. First he was just a normal extremely young CSI professional for a fictional police department, and then he got zapped by a particle accelerator and became the Flash. Then he figured out how to time travel, and then he time-traveled really badly and screwed everything up, and then a bunch of other stuff happened and he developed other super-speed-related powers. Flash-punches! Flash-wall-climbing! Flash-pancake-making! Here we are many seasons later and Barry Allen is still developing new super-skills, and tonight’s is one that might have come in handy back when he was accidentally flashpointing John Diggle’s kid out of existence: speed-thinking!
In “The Speed Of Thought,” Barry comes up with a plan to get Iris out of the Mirrorverse using his new speed-thought abilities, but Cisco, who thinks very well without the assistance of the Speed Force, has his doubts. Watch for Scott Von Doviak’s recap, which will arrive as soon as his also-fast-but-not-speed-force brain has finished dissecting the episode.
