[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 6452261, member: 1125"] It was an interesting episode, definitely better than last weeks bully outing, so it was a bit sad to see him blasted this week:( I thought the montage of Barry enjoying his powers too much were fun and harken to the goofier aspects of the comics character - have similar scense appeared in other media?. The split plots and two villains was a good approach and the writers gave just enough balance to allow the various characters to stand out without getting crowded. Exactly why they chose the clock king I'm not sure but he was well used once the st up happened. Again Joe proved his acting cred and at least Iris got to help herself and get over her Flash obsession. (the apology at the end was dumb) The real star of course was Harrison Wells we got to see much more of his character and got a whole lot more questions. My biggest question though is who is Gideon? Even more important than the Headlines themselves is that we now have an AI who can run searches on future information as the timelines change - Wells isn't just a time traveller he's a future information broker, who is running an ongoing analysis of Barry to ensure the future Crisis happens. I was reminded of Booster Gold and also the internet speculation about Metron - which also ties in to Gideon. The loss of powers thing is a standard supers trope although I was surprised it was brought out early in the series. The resolution of it as a 'psychological' rather than physical thing was too cliche but at least they worked it in to kick his powers up to the next level and show us the future utility of the Treadmill. Again wells extracting some Blackout juice to try and discover how he drained Barrys powers was sinister and made one wonder if it was inorder to steal said powers or to protect him. Did anyone else get the feeling that Caitlin was wanting to kiss Barry? Do you think the various victims of the explosion that Wells named are going to make an appearance in the show?.. [/QUOTE]
