To be fair, this show was kind of stupid anytime Mark Hamill wasn't around. Realizing this, the writers made a last-ditch attempt to turn him into Flash's recurring arch-enemy, but by then it was too late and CBS dropped the hammer on it.
The one time he'd get to actually use his ability--you know, in CHASING THE BAD GUY--the regular women don't let him. Flash isn't really main character material.
loved this show as a kid. when did it get so stupid? was this the same episode where The Trickster kills some cops in a car, or something, and kills Flash's brother?
