He stood with his back to a criminal who for some reason wasn't handcuffed so his gun could easily be grabbed. <br /><br />I actually don't mind the metahuman of the week pattern. It gives the characters a chance to develop so the show has a good foundation. When shows try to start off guns blazing they often fizzle out after about 2 seasons.Mariannahttp://www.mariannahorn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-1782793665303559302014-12-01T19:32:38.650-05:002014-12-01T19:32:38.650-05:00I'm still betting on Dr. Wells turning out to ...I'm still betting on Dr. Wells turning out to be Professor Zoom and Eddie becoming Reverse Flash somehow... if he's Professor Zoom I think he was able to hop around in timestreams wasn't he? <br /><br />But yes, I did think of Fringe Science. Pretty sure Cisco would rock out with Walter while Peter and Barry rolled their eyes.

I do think they're running the risk of getting too Smallville-y with the Metahuman Of The Week thing, though. But what did rub me the wrong way was the conversation at the end between The Flash and Iris. I get that Barry wished he could've been there to save Iris. But something about Iris' tone during that scene just felt, I don't know, entitled. Like she thought The Flash just hadn't felt like showing up to save her that one time, which of course flies in the face of ALL previous evidence. Did she stop for a second to ask herself WHY he wasn't there to save her? Had something happened to him? Was he dealing with another crisis somewhere else? No, apparently he's supposed to be waiting by the police scanner for word that Iris West is in trouble, and then come racing over. <br /><br />OK, maybe I am projecting a tad because I'm not a big Iris fan, I'll admit it. But it still annoyed me. :)<br /><br />So, now we get a hint that Dr. Wells might steal or at least copy Barry's powers and become the Reverse-Flash someday. At some point this whole plotline is going to have some chicken/egg questions to answer. His present actions seem to be guided by images of future events that his present actions are helping to create. It's like the self-contained time-loops in Babylon 5 or Fringe. They seem to cause themselves to happen, looping back on themselves to trigger their own origin.<br /><br />Nice moments between Barry & Caitlin in this episode. I don't know if they intend to try a romantic pairing between those two, but I'd be curious to see how it went.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943327351499919454noreply@blogger.com
