The newest episode of the flash has now aired in the UK and I think it is about time I spoke about it. Be careful for spoilers if you have not seen the episode yet.
This episode sees team flash attempt to separate professor Martin Stein from Ronnie Raymond and split the firestorm matrix before it goes nuclear. Meanwhile, Joe and xisco go more in depth with Barry's mother's death and Barry tries to date Linda.
I really like grant Gustin as The flash and I actually surprisingly enjoyed all the funny romance in the episode. However, I have started to notice that he is wearing the flash costume less and less and that the actual flash story isn't really centred around him but a core supporting character or characters.
The supporting characters were great this week and his is why I enjoy super hero tv shows because it gives the supporting characters that are enriched in history more story and time on screen. Robbie amell was fantastic as Ronnie because he has to play two characters and his character is really now being developed and becoming a person we have to care about. Caitlin Snow was also great because her role in the episode was quite heartbreaking and you truly felt sorry for her character. Harrison wells himself didn't have a huge part in the episode but he came across as quite evil and an interesting character who is really hard to read. I liked the pairings in this episode and xisco with Joe really works for me and is a pairing I hope to see more from.
I think the character of firestorm can be really interesting and this episode gave the character justice and made him seem like an important part of the series. It is now revealed in this episode that Harrison wells will need a New way to time travel and that General ilin wants firestorm for the military. Also it is revealed that an older version of Barry was present for his mother's mother and this truly opens up time travel which it looks like will happen in the next few episodes.
The dialogue was funny in the episode but new when to become dramatic and emotional towards the end of the episode.
The style of firestorm is cool but I am glad they didn't showcase it too much in this episode and looked at the character more in depth.
Overall this was a really solid episode for the ever improving first series.
