    Captain cold

    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.

    Perfect Chemistry

    "Going Rogue" is yet again a fun simplistic episode filled with lighthearted moments from The Flash. The episode did well on showing us The Flash's lighthearted side and also his serious side.

    Felicity Smoak from Arrow makes a guest appearance in this episode and did great. Her chemistry with Barry Allen is extraordinary given the limited time of the episode. The episode made me want Felicity to become a main stay of the show and for her to side with The Flash badly. The antagonist, Captain Cold was a mediocre villain and his motives remain unclear and are yet to be explored. However, it is redeemed with the breathtaking visuals that is seen in each action sequence of the episode. Captain Cold's powers are mainly focused on his gun which obviously can freeze The Flash and it gave way to well executed action and a great battle between opposing strengths. A true highlight of the whole show especially in the episode, the visuals and action get better each episode. Although as episodes progress, the cops become more useless in the narrative. The cops are becoming repetitive, whenever they're on screen The Flash just grabs your attention and they will seem invisible and do nothing worthwhile rather than going in the crime scene.

    Overall the most fun episode so far in the series and I would like to see more of Barry and Felicity. Whenever the two are on screen, they are utterly perfect and watching Felicity in Arrow will completely be a whole new experience. +With great chemistry between Barry and Felicity, +Amazing action that really defines what The Flash is capable of, +Breathtaking visuals, -but the Cops are becoming useless as the series progress.

    Verdict: 8.7/10

    I Love This Universe

    What's really great about Arrow and The Flash is that just like on nights like this, characters can cross over to the other show and it wont feel out of place. And I'm glad that these shows aren't sharing a universe with the films. It would significantly limit the shows power of storytelling which is what Arrow and The Flash are best at. Onto tonight's show, Felicity was the major highlight and brought out the best in each of the main characters.

    We all love Felicity from Arrow along with the quirkiness that comes with her, and to see her once again connect with Barry was great. I love that she still had a significant amount of sexual innuendos just as she does with Oliver. I also completely buy into them both being friend zoned by Iris and Oliver and acknowledging how right they are for each other. Their kiss at the end was bittersweet but may be all we get with them for quite awhile.

    Captain Cold was a welcome addition to Flash' rogues gallery, and although I don't know how fond I am of the actor playing him, I know there will be more to come from his character. The West family side story was forgettable especially considering how predictable it was, but in the long run it was necessary. I'm still not sold on Eddie Thawne being reverse flash but they are doing a good job of making us believe he's a good guy before pulling the classic CW bait and switch.

    Back at STAR labs Cisco is haunted by the fact that he was the reason for Captain Cold's gun being stolen. If was the first glimpse into how menacing Wells can be to Cisco and Caitlyn and also into Barry failing to save a life for the first time. It was just another great thing that this episode had to offer. The character development has significantly improved over just the course of 4 episodes.

    "Cool" villain makes the difference

    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.

    Awesome

    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
