A solid look for future and classic good episode
tomburrows-183072 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
All in all a solid episode to give an interesting spin to sort of say that grace will become cicada in the future really cool spin. also seeing a small cameo of reverse flash is always nice to see. loved the flash museum with plenty of little Easter eggs e.g. the original cicada flash comic and the theme tune for the phone ringtone. one of the stronger episodes of this season and hope the consistency continues.

A solid nine, supporting the storyline and moving it on.
akicork8 October 2020
Three actually disconnected comments: 1) I found this episode kaleidoscopic, even psychedelic! Bouncing around between various consciousnesses with the action crossing over between them: that kept a feeling of movement and activity while the overall stream teased out (I won't say sorted!) the relationship issues in the West-Allen family. It kept the Cicada storyline moving on (although I wish we weren't constantly subjected to the vowel-mauling "Cicayda". Only some of the Wells personas get it right!) Also, we got a hint that Cisco is able to move on from Gypsy - hooray! He deserves not to be lonely. With all that, I can't understand how anyone could find the episode slow-moving or boring. 2) To the Brazilian contributor who apologises for his English: You have nothing for which to apologise. The text of your review I might have written myself, and IMDb needs non-English speaking contributors. People all round the world view these programs and films, and have opinions on them. This is the IMDb family. Many people put an immense amount of effort into supporting IMDb, and these efforts should not be rejected on the basis of quality of English. Apart from anything else, we can't rely on any particular contributor's standard of English being constant. I could name at least two, one Dutch, one native English speaker, the grammatical quality of whose contributions vary widely, for whatever reason. It doesn't matter - all these contributions are welcome and necessary. Again - this apologetic contributor's contribution is perfect. 3) Pedants commenting on fiction really irritate me, particularly when they are likely wrong! I am happy with the concept that my mother and my wife's mother are both mothers-in-law, but really?! A cocktail is allegedly called a "Mother-In-Law" (although it's actually more likely to be a sandwich in Chicago): that is its name. Is someone coming up to a bar and ordering more than one going to ask for anything other than "Mother-In-Law"s? Would you order a couple of Hangmen's Blood or Sexes on the Beach?

Best episode of the season.
garabedian12331 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
By a long shot. Even though it was not perfect, it did a whole lot better than any episode this season...Problems like...WHy is Nora's memory attacking them when it was only the little girls powers that were attacking them? But they are much fewer in number than the previous episodes this season...Heck this episode had both Ralph and Cisco in it...OMG...Lately it seemed like we got one or the either.

A Memory Filled Episode With Similar but different ideas
FLYINGGADGET201430 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
If you watch all 4 Arrowverse shows like I do. You pick up on similar plots of an episode, revolving around the different shows. Take into account that they all have different meaning... but the gist of it is "Memory" (some touch the plot harder than the other shows though) for example Supergirl Has dealt with erasing memories and the outcome of Memory Loss, Arrow Last Week Went down Memory Lane to the Pilot. and Now Flash went inside Nora's memory and Nora Went inside Cicada's Niece's Memory. Note: Keep a close eye on this episode. It named dropped a potential bad guy for future season. There is a lot of Easter Eggs in this episode A potential story that they may do. And last another teaser for a potential upcoming episode for this Season.

A Really Good Roll.........
Sam_Morningstar5 February 2019
'Memorabilia' is the Next Installment of The Flash Season 5. This episode mainly deals with memories. This story had something which I feel is really common in the Arrowverse, which is having 2 similar but separate stories and here it occurs with Nora and Grace,The nephew of Cicada. The acting was done really well especially Islie Hirvonen and Jessica Parker Kennedy ; The main characters in this episode, as Grace and Nora. The story is also every poetic as the daughters (Orlin cares about Grace as if she was his own daughter) of the protagonist and antagonist have similar but different theme of memories. Their was a lot of fun easter eggs to watch. There is character development for, a potential villain. The Direction, Production, Writing and everything else was so good that it led to something that is enjoyable to watch. The ending was also exciting to watch, left me curious to watch comes next.

So Overall Its a Solid 10 and I hope that it will continue in the same direction and possibly get better.

Pretty cool episode
armo-1016630 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
While this episode of The Flash felt slow at times, and overall does little to progress the Cicada storyline (which needs to be wrapped up ASAP), this episode's concept and emotional storytelling was very effective. The key takeaway is that team Flash is now suspicious of Nora, especially Barry. It is also good to know that Barry has given up with appealing to Cicada's emotional side.

Ranking/Reviewing every Flash episode: Memorabilia
lbramson16 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Season 5 is an empty void of nothingness. Barry and Iris get stuck in Nora's dream and almost discover her darkest secret. This show just feels tired now, it has no soul, no emotion, no life. How do you make a dream hopping episode boring? "Memorabilia" is visually impressive! I love the purple and yellow color scheme in the whole episode. It really pops and makes the otherwise boring episode stick out a little bit. But that's about all I can say about the positives for this episode. It's pretty forgettable. Oh, Season 5, the empty gift that keeps on giving! Oh boy, can't wait to see what happens next😑

6.6/10-Meh😐 No one cares anymore.

Great Episode

There was something about this episode that gave me season 1/2 vibes. Especially when it showed one of the classic Flash Cicada comic book issues.

Cool
vinihdavi30 January 2019
After two weak episodes, The Flash comes with a really cool episode and a good story. The Flash Museum is very cool and I hope to see more things of the future in the next episodes

Sorry I AM Brazilian and My english is not Perfect

you've got to be kidding me
rorygunn3 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Once again another Flashless episode and another one where Barry is castrated again and needs girl power to save him.Also Nora is shown to be getting dumber and dumber by the day.Rather than tell her parents the truth she show what an idiot she is.The gang thinks they defeat Cicada and let him escape and defeat him again while letting him escape by waking his niece.Good idea badly executed.Nora decides to go in by herself and gets trapped which means Barry has to go in Nora's head to help save her BUT GUESS WHAT??He can't go in alone.He has to take idiot Iris with him and of course while inside Nora's head they get attacked by Nora's defense mechanisms in the form of The Reverse Flash.Naturally instead of using his powers to beat the RF Barry is taken down so Iris can utter some girl power line and save Barry.UGGH!!There was alo B-Story involving Crisco and Rubber Ralph but I couldn't tell you what it was about as I was fast forwarding through most of the episode.The Cicada storyline should've been wrapped up in the mid season finale and the rest of the episodes focusing on Nora's story which could've been interesting but alas that hasn't happened.The only thing I cvan't understand is why can't they just quit doing this stupid stories and just give a straight ahead comic book super hero show .

The Flash is back but should I care about Cicada?
jaythezoomster12 May 2019
After "Seeing Red" almost made me lose all hope in the current Cicada storyline, "Memorabilia" has done a fine job at restoring a small bit of hope.

This is a fantastic episode. From the bits in the Flash museum which were awesome, to seeing some great family moments between all of the characters; it was just a great time.

Like other episodes this season, "Memorabilia" manages to balance the admittedly bloated cast in a nice way.

Ralph and Cisco's story was great and I absolutely loved the introduction of Kamilla. I also have to hand it to them for giving Nora some great material this episode. Her chemistry with young Grace's actress was super palpable and really propelled their scenes together.

Barry consoling Iris as Iris believes herself to be a bad mother was great and I loved seeing how it all changed. It's a great message to see that sometimes you have the wrong memories purely out of anger.

The twist with Grace was very well done. It came out of nowhere in the best way and it promises at least something interesting for Cicada soon. I think Orlin Dwyer is still missing the spark he had for me earlier this season (especially since he wasn't technically in the episode), but hopefully the stuff with Grace pays off.

The Flash redeems itself by delivering a very well done and super enjoyable episode that shows us a solid look at the fun and nostalgic Flash museum, nice development for Cisco and some actual, if minimal, progress on the Cicada front.

Analyzing Grace Gibbons and Nora West-Allen.
This chapter help us a lot to understand how think Grace and Nora and analyzes this characters in a Psychoanalytic way.

A slow boring episode.
cruise018 August 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Episode 5.12 (2.5 out of 5 stars).

The episode is a weak one that has a boring story. Focusing on Nora going into a memory machine which Barry and Iris tries to rescue her. While she is trying to erase her secret with her past. It is cliché, stupid, and boring.

Why is this character so dumb?
Ceredon131 January 2019
It's like they introduced her only to show how stupid a single person can be. And the rest of the gang enables her stupidity because they are similarly incapable of making good decisions.

Flash is a supporting cast member in his show. Again. Flash's annoying little kid (in mind not in body) does stupid stuff. Again. Flash got beaten but is saved by his super duper amazing wow so smart wife. Again.

Nothing new to see here.
