Enter Flashtime

Ever since ralph dibney was brought on as a character the show has gotten increasingly more annoying. i absolutely hated the episode before this one using a female character we barely knew to fuel angst for him, killing her just so he could have "real" motivation to take down devoe (even though he only knew her for like two days, but i digress). this episode is the first one that i can remember since ralph was introduced that didn't have him in it, and the first one in a long time that i have genuinely enjoyed. this episode reminded me why i started watching the flash in the first place, why i fell in love with all the og characters, why i love barry and iris so much, and really reminded me what the core of this show was and it's that there's ALWAYS another way. a major arc in season one was barry being a different type of hero than oliver queen of arrow fame, and i felt like we really got a glimpse of that season-one barry again, going to his very limit to save as many people as possible. @ the flash writers, PLEASE stop sacrificing the quality of your show to further develop a sleezy straight white man, you always shine when you don't.

I have nothing to complain about this episode. The acting was great, and right till the end I was at the edge of my seat. I really did not know how Barry was going to solve this problem. But the writers found an unpredictable way to do it

Arguably a top 10 episode of the entire series thus far. Embraced a new concept "Flashtime" that had not previously been seen in the show, conveyed emotional and powerful messages and was a nail biter. Fantastic episode.

There's nothing quite like a one-off episode of an Arrowverse show that hits all the right buttons. It's often frustrating seeing a show go from one 'big bad' centric episode to a 'filler' week of TV, but Enter Flashtime proved there's more you can do to keep the audience's interest than throw in a villain of the week episode.

This episode was like a sci-fi nerd's dream. The show is always dropping unnecessarily long science fiction terms and phrases that make no sense, and there was definitely some of that here too. But this episode took Barry's speed and the presence of Jay & Jessie to create a fascinating 45 minute sequence of flashtime insanity. There's no real villain of importance, nor do we even get a glimpse of DeVoe's whereabouts, but there was absolutely no need to. Watching the 3 speedsters try to figure out how to get rid of a nuclear bomb while everyone else is frozen was more than enough for me.

On a side note, there was a small piece of information dropped tonight about how DeVoe has been planning his destruction of Barry Allen for 3 years. Which, pretty much only further complicates his reasoning, or lack thereof.

Another piece of news is that Jay is training another speedster on his Earth. Does this have anything to do with Jessica Parker Kennedy's mystery character? Or is this just a completely new character to be introduced as a one-off later this year? At any rate, I quite enjoyed both Jay and Jessie's presence in this episode. Made me miss season 2 a little bit. Never thought I would say that.

9.0/10

This was by far the best episode in this season. We want more episodes like this. I really don't understand why ''the flash'' series becomes weeker and weeker in plot and at the same time it turns into a comedy... Also in my opinion I don't think that this elastic guy fits with the team, he is too funny. The character of Julian was far better. Fans need more ''serious'' episodes like this one and like seasons 1-2. Too much comedy spoiling the series. Sisko is funny but in a very good way and that's enough.
