Sci-Fi This Week: The Flash Faces The Man In The Yellow Suit

Find out what’s airing in science fiction and fantasy this week.

It’s mid-season finale week! A few of our shows capped off their fall runs last week, and a handful still have episodes left in the tank after this week. But most of the genre shows we cover will be pulling out all the stops this week for some epic 2014 close-outs.

The one we’re the most excited about is the fall finale of The Flash, which will see Barry finally find — and square off against — the man in the yellow suit (a.k.a. Reverse Flash).

Also wrapping up this week: Skye confronts her father and the secrets of her past on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Arrow meets the legendary assassin Ra’s al Ghul (guest star Matt Nable), and everything in Storybrooke comes to a head in the last episode of Once Upon A Time until March.
