Now grant gustin is great as Barry Allen but I actually thought he wasn't that important in this weeks episode. This episode wasn't really about the flash it was more about pied piper and Harrison wells. It looks like he will be more important in next week's episode though.
I will admit that I absolutely love the character of Harrison wells and think this character is one of the most interesting out there, I loved all of his scenes and it is cool how we are learning slightly more about him every week. The villain pied piper was good I think they didn't look at some aspect of the character because they are saving it for a future episode but his relationship with wells really drove this episode and did it well. This was probably my favourite Xisco episode yet as we still had the humour but it is clear that there is more heart to the character that was shown in this episode. I will even admit that even though I am still not a fan of the character iris joining a newspaper company is a step in the right direction for her character.
Now the overall story was really good with this being a really humanizing episode for Harrison wells. His relationship with pied piper in the flashbacks and present day were always interesting. We learnt some interesting things too, first that wells has some reverse flash powers but it is only temporary. That pied piper knows how to find firestorm and potentially save him and that Harrison wells plans to steal barry Allen's power and that Joe is looking into wells. All of this is important as it sets up potential future episodes.
The script was good with allot of comedic dialogue but there was a bit of drama that aloud us to realise that even though their is all this tech that this show is all about the characters and making us care about the characters.
I had a few problems with some of the action scenes as some of pied pipers weapons looked bad and the CGI wasn't as good as it could have been. I thought the pacing was better this week though.
Overall this was a really good episode that focused on the characters and made you care about these characters more.
