Getting dangerously close to calling it quits on this show. It's clear that the writers sunk every creative idea they had into the first season and had no idea what to do after that other then play "Guess the Villain" every year. I seriously wonder sometimes how the writers of some shows (this one included) made it…

As with most Flash time-travel episodes lately, this episode was complete illogical nonsense. Not only were there about a billion time travel-logic holes, but emo Barry was a bit far fetched to me. I don't buy for a second that even if Iris was murdered, that this is how Barry would turn out. It all just seemed a wee…

Wow…as someone that has repeatedly said/felt that this show has gotten stale, the last few episodes and this one in particular have been a massive step forward in term of quality.

Good point. I'm just worried that they are investing so much effort into convincing us that he is this guy, that when it's revealed that he is actually someone else it is going to seem completely ridiculous. Although, I guess compared to last season, nothing can ever seem TOO ridiculous…

So…it's starting to look like the main villain seriously is going to be the son of some random dude that Oliver killed from the first season? I was totally expecting a bait and switch because it seemed like way too lame of an idea…but I'm really starting to wonder…

I just can't get on board with this season. The whole thing just feels like I'm watching a show that has truly run out of ideas. Every episode feels like the writers just creating "busy work" for the characters rather than actually telling a story. The over-arching narrative of this season (if you want to even call it…

I really wish the show didn't feel the need to televise its "twists" so much. Why not just show the bottle quickly instead of lingering on it, making the twist apparent from a mile away? Last year, with the "twist" of Laurel's death, they might as well have sent out flyers before the episode with Katie Cassidy's…

Seriously. I am binge-watching the series now so I'm catching up on the reviews at the same time. Every single review starts off with 3 paragraphs of whining that the show is setting things up. Good lord, the show is only half way through the season here, does this guy just want them to burn through every plot point…

Smallville also did one with Clark thinking that he was actually trapped in an insane asylum in S6.

Eh…I can't agree with the praise on this one. It wasn't terrible, but it could have been a lot more interesting if they didn't have to drop this episode in the middle of a 4-part crossover.

I gotta say, I was extremely surprised by how impressive Panabaker's acting was in this episode. I found her KF performance last year to be absolutely painful to watch, but this was a total 180. Playing the character as a more tortured, hate-filled villain made the character far more interesting and grounded than the…

Ok look, I get that this show is largely procedural in nature, but it needs to learn how to blend the plotlines together so that every episode doesn't feel like two stories competing against each other (the main plot vs the monster of the week). The writers need to go watch the later seasons of Fringe, which handled…

Dare I say that I'm actually cautiously optimistic after watching this episode?

Season 4 of Fringe seems to be its most divisive season. I binge watched Fringe after it ended, so that may be why I have a different opinion than those who had to watch it week to week. I personally thought the first two-thirds of the 4th season were nearly just as strong as the much acclaimed Season 3. I enjoyed…

None of it made any sense. He originally went back in time to kill young Barry, yet stabs Norah out of rage. So why, after traveling back to the original time and killing Norah again, wouldn't he just kill the weakened adult Barry?? Did 3 months of being locked in a cage all of a sudden make him like Barry too much to…

I told myself that I was going to do the same thing this year, especially for Arrow which I feel like is at a point of no return in terms of quality. However, I will admit to being suckered into giving The Flash one last shot. Not sure that I made the right choice…

I wish I could Like points 2 and 3 100x over. Seriously, I CANNOT BELIEVE they pulled the "Barry needs emotional support to win this fight" card again, let alone in the seasons very first episode. And I also agree that the solutions that this writing staff comes up with are mind blowing just for the sheer fact that…

That was an absolute mess, but it was still fun to watch. Thought for sure that we were going to be getting a Fringe season 4 style of plot this season, but they bailed on that idea quickly.

I felt the exact same way. If you turn your mind off and enjoy the scenes individually, it's a fun ride. But damn, what an absolute mess of a plotline.

Personally, I think people are WAY off in thinking that this show is going to transcend into flat-out science fiction out of nowhere. That would be pretty ridiculous at this point in the series. Although, I did love Fringe…
