It could be a robot that Dr Wells is controlling remotely. That would explain the entire tachyon sting operation he came up with to get it for himself. Honestly the whole time travel thing makes me nervous because the only time it doesn't become completely ridiculous in my opinion is when it's portrayed almost as a joke, which doesn't seem to be the case here.Mariannahttp://www.mariannahorn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-41936599904314870652015-03-04T04:36:12.979-05:002015-03-04T04:36:12.979-05:00I think that the red eyes of the yellow flash coul...I think that the red eyes of the yellow flash could have something to do with Bivolo (Flash vs Arrow).

The way they portrayed the Reverse Flash was awesome, he felt like a real threat to Barry, more so than anyone he's faced so far. Not just because he was as fast or faster than Barry, but because he was able to out-think and out-fight him. The glowing red eyes and over-processed voice were a tad much, and with Wells speaking in that voice at the end even when not wearing the suit, I'm curious how they're going to explain it. But I LOVED the out-of-focus effect they used for RF, it was handled just right. He didn't look like he was simply vibrating, and he didn't just look blurry. It had sort of a "quantum" effect to it. Y'know that thing about how are molecules aren't actually in one place, they're just technically more likely to be in one place than any other at any given moment? It's as if with RF, he's moving so fast that his equilibrium point is more diffuse, so he looks kinda blurry to us. All of the action scenes with the Flashes were fantastic, though RF's run sequence looked a little too much like Dash from The Incredibles compared to Barry. <br /><br />The highlight of the episode for me was definitely the scene between Barry and his dad. John Wesley Schipp has done such a great job with very little screentime. I could care less what happens between Barry & Iris on this show, but I genuinely want redemption for his dad. Even if he winds up sacrificing his life to somehow protect his son, I will be genuinely upset if Barry doesn't eventually get his dad publicly exonerated.<br /><br />I guess they had to tease SOMETHING with Wells and the yellow suit at the end, and it's good that we didn't actually see him IN the suit, so we can keep speculating. Especially since it appears that Wells is doing something to power up the suit and not himself, so theoretically anyone will be able to wear it and have RF abilities. I'm really hoping we'll get some solid answers about Wells before the end of this season, because so far all of the "reveal" scenes kinda boil down to "omg he's up to something!"<br /><br />Anyone else get a kick out of Cisco wearing a Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock shirt? :)Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943327351499919454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-20140312426184146802014-12-11T10:20:44.033-05:002014-12-11T10:20:44.033-05:00Wells: "There must be balance to the force, t...Wells: "There must be balance to the force, the speed force that is."<br /><br />Samantha M.

Thumbs up for the Fire-guy and the yellow Speed-guy.<br /><br />Reading your great review JRS, and the comments, I feel I'm a bit at the outs. I have no comic knowledge whatsoever. So for me it's a show about characters. And do I care for them?<br /><br />So far, I have LOVED Grant G as TF. He is amazing. But I have had difficulties with the supporting cast. Iris, her father, her boyfriend, TF's crew has been disappointingly uninteresting.<br /><br />That changed today. Now I am suddenly feeling more for Caitlin and her Fireman (his name is Firestorm? I wouldn't know). He would be a perfect side-kick to TF! (And I don't think they cast the Amell cousins without having a cross-over Amell battle, so the fire-guy will stay, I'd say).<br /><br />I'm not sure if the yellow Speed-guy is this seasons main villain. Don't forget about the Prison Break-guys - they are coming back for sure!<br /><br />My non-comic-experience-view on Comic shows so far this season:<br /><br />The Flash: Great Flash, not so interesting supporting characters. Some interesting villains/other characters turning up though...<br /><br />Arrow: Love all the cast. More Barrowman please.<br /><br />Gotham: Wonderful supporting cast who could run this show. Ditch the wooden lead detective couple.<br /><br />MAOS: Great story-telling. Characters don't matter.TJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-31666608393308167342014-12-10T17:22:21.951-05:002014-12-10T17:22:21.951-05:00Yeah, if RF does turn out to be Eddie, I hope &quo...Yeah, if RF does turn out to be Eddie, I hope "he stole my girl" is just part of it. Maybe Barry's Flash-ness will create difficulties for Thawne on the force. Task Force humiliations, and/or a rift with Joe. Something catastrophic to his career that when added to losing Iris would drive him to revenge.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-15131017020450465752014-12-10T16:55:28.039-05:002014-12-10T16:55:28.039-05:00Hmmm!

I think Wells is a take on Zolomon, who didn't have super-speed, but the ability to manipulate his own timeline, which seems to be what Wells is doing here. Eddie will probably turn out to be the Reverse Flash who killed Nora West. I just hope the writers give him a better motivation for his villainy than "he stole my girl".

The hubby and I think Wells is/will be the man behind the curtain, and that Eddie will be the actual Reverse Flash. After all, the man in the yellow suit very purposely looked Eddie right in the eye and didn't kill him. It's gotta mean something. Especially since somewhere down the line Barry/the Flash is probably going to be responsible for Eddie losing his girl. He'd theoretically have an axe to grind. <br /><br />But the question remains, <i>why</i> is Wells doing all this? Creating the Flash and then creating and/or becoming his nemesis. What outcome is he ultimately aiming towards? Is it good or evil? I like having the mystery for now. It is fun to speculate!Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-85948501578178028762014-12-10T13:48:50.256-05:002014-12-10T13:48:50.256-05:00Another great episode.

I was hoping she'd have some scenes with John Wesley Shipp, and plus they just announced the casting of the Trickster from the original show - Mark Hamill. Like Amanda Pays, playing the same character from the original show. Very cool. Lots of cool Easter eggs from the comics too. The storytelling and the acting in this episode kicked it up a notch. I can't believe how good this show is already, in only its first season. Thanks for the awesome, quick review, JRS.JimGfromWIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13255742215695219910noreply@blogger.com
