The Flash episode 10 revenge of the rogues review

The flash is finally back in the UK and this is a really strong return for the show after the mid season finale. There may be spoilers in this review so if you haven't seen the episode yet you really should before reading this.

This episode sees the return of captain cold as he teams up with heatwave and they attempt to kill the flash.

After the shocking final moments of the mid season finale this episode needed a strong start and I think Grant Gustins performance was great and I really believe he is a fantastic flash and it really puts the pressure on Ezra Miller to perform in the film.

Tom cavanagh didn't have his most important performance in this episode but he still does a great job in this episode and makes you really intrigued in what the future holds for his character. Eddie thawne is a character that has been underdeveloped so far but now it seems he has respect for the flash and I believe this is the start of his road to becoming a reverse flash just like I predicted. Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell were superb in their roles and really made the rogues an interesting group that is worth focusing on. My favourite character was Joe though because this episode really put the spotlight on him and I thought he was the heart of the episode. However, I still feel like iris west is a boring character and they really need to improve that before the end of the season.

The story of the rogues was great as it made these two characters interesting as they aren't exactly best friends and it helped the episode. I did feel like they rushed the intro to the firestorm project in this episode and I hope they give it more focus in the future. Obviously the end credit scene saw the rogues escape and captain colds sister being introduced, she is a rally important part of his life in the comics and I think he could be important when she debuts later in the season.

There was allot of funny dialogue like always and Harrison wells is a character who manages to make even the smallest of things seem menacing which really helps the character.

The end fight between flash, captain cold and heatwave was great and it really showed just how great tv can look and how these powers make this show so much different to arrow which is necessary.

Overall I really did like this episode, I thought the new characters were great and I really am interested in the majority of stories. I did think there was a little pacing issue and I still don't care about iris but I think these are things that will be improved.
