If I can pretend all the Nanda Parbat stuff didn't happen, then I'd say this episode was pretty solid overall. Though, I will say that it was hard to suppress the laughter while watching a guy fight by throwing playing cards at a guy in a robin hood outfit.

Wow! That episode was far better than I ever expected! Captain Cold and Golden Glider episodes have never been the best written episodes IMO because the characters were always written in such a cheesy and cartoonish way, but this episode FINALLY gave the characters some much needed depth and made them actually feel…

Sometimes I feel like comparing CW shows from year to year is like comparing two MLB or NFL teams. One year, everything seems to be going great for one team whereas the other team seems to be on a downward spiral. The following year, the situation surprisingly flips. This is how I feel about Flash and Arrow this year.

I actually agree with this, but I think The Flash's actors often get far cheesier lines to try and digest.

Yeah, I was hoping the "freak of the week" style episodes were sort of just for the first season to introduce the show. For all of it's faults, Arrow does a much better job of focusing on a central story line on a per episode basis. I felt like pretty much all of The Flash's best episodes last year were the ones that…

I sometimes feel like comic book shows get a free pass on the quality of their writing when they introduce a fan-favorite character or element on to the show. I had this same feeling with Grodd last season. As someone who has never picked up a Flash comic, the Grodd episode felt like merely another "freak of the week"…

This show has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Gee, the guy who Barry JUST fought reappears (wearing the exact same outfit…) coincidentally right after they discuss multi-universes and doesn't know anything about why he's being arrested. I'm sure no one knew the reason why… Also, Barry's massively over-the-top cold…

Well, this definitely was not the thrill ride that I was expecting after last season's finale. I was really hoping that this show was going to stray away from the "freak of the week" type episodes in favor of focusing on a main plot-line in the way that Arrow operates; but it doesn't look like that's going to be the…

Agreed, but would you say that is more the fault of the writing or Emily Bett Rickards' performance (I'm genuinely asking)? Don't get me wrong, Felicity was written HORRIBLY this year, but the fact that Rickards' literally delivered almost every line in her cry voice made the lines 3x more annoying. I thought E.B. was…

Best part: "They won't believe you Malcolm, but they'll believe this random Japanese woman they've never met." MMMMk

Lmao, the anger in this post mixed with the accuracy of your points elevate it to an A+ for me. Well done.

I would need to write a six paragraph essay to write about everything I'd like to discuss, so instead I'll just say this: What happened?

Yep, I agree. This is a perfect example of the issue with modern comic-book shows. Non-comic fans generally prefer the shows to be more grounded in reality in order to make the show feel believable and relatable; whereas the die-hard comic fans usually want things to be extremely fantastical like the comics they love.…

Oh lord, I already worked so hard to repress that ridiculous moment, why must I be reminded. Did they really think that looked cool?

Agreed, this is my main and only real complaint with her acting. She seems like she tries a bit too hard to sound angry.

Bennet was great, but he's not exactly "main cast." Willa Holland probably wins third place, but some of her lines come off a bit to strongly delivered IMO. I really have to disagree on Katrina Lawson, I find her performance to be extremely over-the-top and cheesy. The only episode I have ever truly enjoyed her in has…

Aside from David Ramsey and Stephen Amell, I personally would not say one single actor on that show matches any of the main cast of The Flash in terms of acting chops. Toss in a bunch of horrendously written and horribly delivered Felicity outbursts and yea…I'd be curious to hear your argument.

Personally, I would have a tough time of getting behind that. Again, it is probably because I am a non-comic fan and prefer superhero shows to be a bit more grounded in reality (though the Flash obviously pushes that limit). Aside from Cavanagh's outstanding acting, the reason Wells is such a fascinating villain is…

I know a lot of the comic book fans (the majority on this site) love Grodd, and therefore most likely loved this episode; but as a non-comic book fan I felt like this episode was just another "freak of the week" episode in a lot of ways. Not saying that that inherently makes it bad (because it wasn't), but it felt…

I wish that the Arrow team would sit down at the beginning of each successive season, list out their best ideas…and then hand them to a more talented writing staff. "Good ideas (for the most part), poor execution" seems to be a seems to be a good way to sum up this show lately. This latest episode is a perfect…
