The best episode in this season
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.
first ralph-less episode in a while, first fantastic episode in a while
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.
Almost a hit till you blew it
The episode had amazing heroes joinning forces, it had an amaIng storyline but of course you had to blew it by making the most brilliant minds in the universe have no answer yet the barista/blogger/former reporter comes up with a scientific answer to save the day. This episode could have been one of the best yet you had to turn it to another Irs is the heroe one. Dissapointment
And very different episode and it works!
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
Time Crisis
This is another of my favorite episodes of the show. Not much to say, it's pretty much your bomb thriller once again, yeah, the conclusion is predictable you can easily predict Barry/The Flash will disarm the bomb; but the real suspense is wondering how.
It's true that "The Thinker" isn't around this episode but I'm fine with that, sometimes we just need a breather from the seasonal villain and give our heroes a different kind of challenge, and this was one hell of a challenge.
Really love the use of the flash time, where the flash along with two other speedsters whom were nice to see again Jesse and Jay Garrick once more. I like how every one of the characters have a hand in the disarm operation and each tries different solutions and sadly none of them work.
I also like how the episode evokes almost an impending sense of doom as time is ticking away so is hope. One really touching scene is just seeing Barry with Iris probably for the last time and you just seeing him exhausted both physically and psychologically. You see just getting emotional and Iris is just trying to comfort him, I felt that was a genuinely human thing personally if I felt just utter hopelessness and helplessness, I would break down myself. It was touching how Iris knowing she is possible in the last moments of her life with the one she loves remains a rock for Barry, which I felt shows the strength in both her character and love for him. I won't say anything more except that in every puzzle it's never too late to solve it.
Rating: 4 stars.
