"Going Rogue" is one of the greatest episodes of The Flash to date. It's action packed and full of love triangles! What a great episode! Captain Cold is a refreshing (see what I did there?) new villain introduced. Probably the best villain we've had! I love Iris and Barry's love triangle and I also like that they gave Felicity and Barry a chance! I don't ship it...not yet anyway. I still feel like Iris and Barry belong together. The ending to this episode was flat out intense, and also very funny! I also love Dr. Wells sinister side, it's dark and creepy and quite disturbing. This episode is a major improvement from the last two episodes and in my opinion, it's right there with the first episode as well! Is it better? No. But there both equally great! Hoping for that one episode that will just be AMAZING! I know it's coming, because this weeks episode was just amazing! Keep it up Flash team! Your doing great! - Jdmax
Coldest villan, played by the best actor from prison break. I couldnt have asked for a better villan, he plays his role well, his voice and attitude fits it perfect, makes the episode so much better, and we actually see that Barry can actually struggle.
Captain cold is definetly makes this episode great, i like the role and chemestry between Barry and Captain cold, they really seem like they are fitted to be in the roles they are given.
Good episode with a good plot showing the threat of captain cold really creating fear in Barry, it creates what it shows to a good episode.
What can I say, The Flash.

The show has had a good start with great special effects and production values. But it shows signs of bad writing that could kill the series. The writers need to pay special attention to Barry's unique powers. Scenes where the bad guy is able to aim and shoot Barry while Barry sees them make no sense. Monologing is especially silly. Just hesitating a second is enough for Barry to run around them and knock them in the head. If the villain doesn't totally surprise Barry, then there's simply no way he can get attack Barry. This would only work if Barry's speed was somehow neutralized or if the villain is impervious to Barry's attack, and Capt. Cold certainly wasn't. Barry would never have allowed him to just walk away from a fight.
If the writers can tighten up the use of Barry's speed and the villains and if they can make his father's case for justice more compelling, this could be a great series. Right now it's just Luke warm.
Also, the attraction between Barry and Iris just isn't there. The two have zero chemistry and no compelling reasons for being romantic. No real connection at all except their shared childhood. In fact this shared childhood makes their romance less of a possibility and somewhat unsavory. They are more like siblings than potential lovers.

Sets the metahuman freak of the week thing aside (for one week at least) in favor of a more conventional villain. Well, a more conventional comic book villain. I doubt there are many bad guys with a freeze ray in the real world. Though his backstory and personality are much different, Captain Cold is basically Mr. Freeze. Though they could've done a bit better with his set up, once he gets rolling he's easily the best baddie yet. A lot of the credit goes to guest star Wentworth Miller ('Prison Break') who brings an icy menace and a little star power to boot.
What's impressive about The 'Flash' so far is that it finds time for character development and relationship building amongst the action and carnage. Even the supporting players all get a little bit of dramatic gristle to chew on. With the dramatic, non-action focus on the romantic side this week, "Going Rogue" may lack the emotional punch of, say, the second episode, but with some fun action moments and a credible villain (who lives to fight another day), it definitely delivers strictly in terms of entertainment.

The Flash is a great new show. It's a show I look forward to every Tuesday night. Going Rogue had humor, romance, thrills making it the most entertaining episode by far.
And of course the highlight of the show was seeing the awesome, Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold. Watching, Wentworth on screen again was an absolute treat. He was perfect as Leonard/ Captain Cold. Looking forward to seeing more of him on the show. The chemistry between Barry and Felicity was good. All in all a really good episode. Hope the show keeps going like this. And also hoping to see a lot more of Captain Cold
