The sixth episode of the seventh season titled "The One with the Nineties" is fun and uplifting that explores Chester's past and introduces the still force. The title of the episode is perhaps a nod to the 90s sitcom Friends where every episode title begins with "The one with/where."
Cisco and Chester's bromance was further exemplified in this episode. I love their back and forth banter and their era appropriate costumes. Were Cisco and Chester, as Iris put it, "separated at birth"? I loved the "coffee and a cronut" bit in this episode.
Cisco as a 7-year old in a grown man's body is hilarious and one of the many highlights of the episode. It kind of reminds me of when Derek Hale shifted into a teenager in the fourth season of Teen Wolf, which was written and co-executive produced by the Flash showrunner Eric Wallace.
The literal time god possessing the still force proves to be an omnipotent adversary for Team Flash. All the forces are beyond Team Flash's understanding and experience. I guess that Chillblaine aka the new Captain Cold, who will be making his debut appearance in episode 7, also possesses the still force.
It was quite disappointing that Allegra did not appear in this very special episode of the Flash. Hopefully she will appear in episode 7 titled "Growing Pains" (another reference to a 1980s sitcom). Allegra showcases so much potential and hope that she is not underused this season.
As I figured, Barry was regenerating for the majority of the episode. From his facial expression, it seems like Barry is not fully on board with Nora the speed force staying with him and Iris. This will likely cause some friction between Barry and the speed force.
The post credits scene sets up episode 7. Joe tries to warn Frost that Kristen Kramer intends to find discriminating evidence against her. I wonder if Frost's storyline this season will lead to her leaving Central City and living as a fugitive.
To conclude, whilst it was not as good as season 5's time loop episode, it still delivered on all levels and brightened my mood. The vibrant costumes, exuberant setting, fun and goofy characters and the WandaVision vibes makes this episode top tier and worth rewatching over and over again.
Final verdict: 9.5/10.
