Kevin Smith Teases More Action In His The Flash Season 3 Episode

The twenty-first episode of the second season of The Flash, titled "The Runaway Dinosaur," was directed by Kevin Smith (Clerks), written by Zack Stentz (Thor), and featured Barry Allen going on an emotional journey in The Speed Force after a dangerous experiment to get his speed back goes haywire. While there, Barry conversed with The Speed Force, and it helped him accept his mother's death. The episode was praised by critics and fans alike and earned Smith the opportunity to direct another episode in the series.

As Smith previously revealed, he'll be directing the seventh episode of this upcoming season. While filming of it won't begin until next week, Smith has already read over the script and is teasing a more action-packed episode than "The Runaway Dinosaur," which he referred to as a spiritual sequel to the Season 1 finale.

Just read the script to the episode of @CW_TheFlash I start working on next week and... I LOVE IT! Lots more action-y stuff than my last ep.
