[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 6414494, member: 1125"] Although Episode 3 didn't impress me as much as Episode 2, The Flash is still maintaining a good pace and building an interesting narrative. They've been able to keep a good balance between the villain of the week format and the character development and 'mystery' underlying the story arch. I liked last weeks villain Multiplex better than the Mist. Multiplex was a good challenge 'powers vs powers" for The Flash, whereas The Mist was put up as largely unbeatable except for the gimmick of 'run until he gets tired of chasing you' which was kind of lame and a lot of the work around from the team (Oh a sedative and cyanide - he must have been a death row inmate! and the Chekovs Antidote) seemed a little bit contrived. The main part of the storyline concentrated on flashbacks to the accident and the relationship between Caitlin and Ronnie which was cool and helps build a bit more character for Caitlin. Ronnie getting caught in the Particle Accelerator sets things up nicely for his eminent return and the gang converting the Accelerator to a Metahuman prison was nice and should be fun for the future. We got to see a quick Blue Devil easter egg and a zombie-ant geek out between Iris and Barry (Iris is still boring) all linked in to a Flash moment while Iris takes a phone call from Eddie. The cops taking credit for the Flash's work leads to Barry moaning to Joe about "[I]its not as if I want a museum[/I]" which I suppose was an in-joke for the fans. its up there with Caitlin describing her relationship with Ronnie as being like "Fire and Ice" and the Crimeboss being suffocated while claiming that "those thieves will draw their last breath". I also thought the Tahiti reference between Caitlin and Ronnie was funny too considering SHEILD even if it's most likely unrelated. We also get more intrigue from Wells with his reference to waiting for centuries and the closing scenes are becoming more and more mysterious - just who is Dr Wells and what does he want? So what did you all think? (NB Felicity makes a Barry reference in todays Arrow episode too, setting up for next weeks mini-crossover - [I]we get to see The Arrow straight after the Flash airs[/I]) [/QUOTE]
