    One of the best pieces of television ever

    This is one of the greatest episodes I have ever seen... ever. It is truly mind-blowing how they manage to put so much in so little time (60 minutes). There are several major plot twists and in the end it all just "goes away" with a blink of an eye. All of the actors play their part really well, but it's the script that gets all of the points here. Be prepared to be blown away with something whose final minutes seem on par with masterpieces such as Game of Thrones' strongest episode "Rains of Castamere". It's an episode that puts a lot of pieces together, pieces from the grand puzzle which the season finale is going to be... I was wondering why this episode got such a big rating, now I know.

    The Flash's masterpiece episode

    This episode is the best of all the Flash episode. I'm giving this review after watching season 7. The plotline is absolutely amazing. The anticlimactic scene with Mark Mardon unleashing the flood was epic. If episodes had the same quality as this now, the flash would be much much better. It doesn't get better than this.

    One of the greatest episodes of Television I have ever seen!

    In just one episode The Flash has delivered so much action, drama, suspense, twists and shocks that shows such as The Walking Dead & Game of Thrones would be proud of. I thought it was the series finale at one point with just how much happens in one short episode.

    This show is no TWD or GoT but I'm still a big fan of the programme. It has though, been fairly hit and miss. It took a bit of time to get going and the scripts have been silly too often but its always been fun, enjoyable and often funny with a tone of brilliant action set- pieces and effects.

    This second half of Season 1 has really got things going and every episode has been entertaining and thrilling but never did I expect an episode like this.

    I'm not going to spoil anything but the entire episode is genius and people that have doubted or hated on the show will be shocked at just how wrong they are and be blown away by the brilliance that The Flash has become.

    Time traveller Stuff

    "Out of Time" is a high-stakes, emotionally explosive episode that finally pays off multiple season-long arcs - and then flips the table with a game-changing twist. With tragedy, revelation, and time travel all packed into one hour, it's easily one of Season 1's most ambitious episodes.

    Time Travel Twist: Let's get right to it - the final scene, where Barry accidentally runs so fast he goes back in time, changes everything. It recontextualizes the entire episode and sets up a fascinating loop that will dominate the next few episodes. The build-up to this moment is fantastic, and the reveal is shocking in the best way.

    Mark Mardon (Weather Wizard): Liam McIntyre makes a strong impression as Clyde Mardon's brother, wielding more powerful weather-manipulating abilities. He's a legit threat, leveling an entire precinct and nearly killing Joe. His personal vendetta adds emotional weight, and the action scenes with him are visually impressive.

    Iris Finds Out: Iris finally realizing Barry is The Flash (in this timeline) is a massive moment - and their kiss is cathartic after so much tension. It feels earned, not forced. Of course, time travel undoes it (for now), but seeing it play out still hits.

    Cisco and the Wells Revelation: Cisco discovering the truth about Dr. Wells is the emotional centerpiece of the episode. Carlos Valdes delivers a powerful performance as Cisco realizes he's been working with the man who murdered Barry's mother. The heartbreaking scene where Wells confesses, calls Cisco "like a son," and kills him is unforgettable - even if the timeline later rewrites it.

    The Tone: This episode balances superhero action, emotional drama, sci-fi concepts, and horror-like suspense (especially during the Cisco scenes) all in one tight package. The pacing is superb.

      At the end, Joe struggles to talk when Weather Wizard tapes his mouth. Joe, however, could at any time simply have removed this tape with his free hand that he used to hold the binoculars.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Harrison Wells: You're incredibly clever, Cisco. I've always said so.

      Cisco Ramon: You're him, the Reverse-Flash.

      Dr. Harrison Wells: You and I haven't been truly, properly introduced. I am Eobard Thawne.

      Cisco Ramon: Thawne? Like Eddie.

      Dr. Harrison Wells: Let's call him a distant relative.

      Cisco Ramon: The night that we trapped the Reverse-Flash, you almost died.

      Dr. Harrison Wells: Mm-hm.

      Cisco Ramon: There were two of you.

      Dr. Harrison Wells: It's an after-image. A speed mirage, if you will.

      Cisco Ramon: Joe was right. You were there that night, fifteen years ago, in Barry's house. You killed Nora Allen.

      Dr. Harrison Wells: It was never my intention to kill Nora. I was there to kill Barry.

      Cisco Ramon: Why? You're his friend. You've been teaching him how to...

      Dr. Harrison Wells: ...go faster, I know. A means to an end, and I'll tell you why. Because I have been stuck here, marooned here in this place for fifteen long years, and The Flash, and The Flash's speed, is the key to my returning to my world, to my time, and no one is going to prevent that from happening.

      Cisco Ramon: I can help you.

      Dr. Harrison Wells: You're smart, Cisco, but you're not that smart. Do you know how hard it has been to keep all of this from you, especially from you? Because the truth is I've grown quite fond of you, and in many ways, you have shown me what it's like to have a son. Forgive me, but to me, you've been dead for centuries.
