The Flash episode 18 All star team up review

The Flash is back after a couple of weeks off and it. Same back with an absolute bang. Be careful for spoilers if you have not seen the episode yet.

The premise of the episode sees felicity smoke and Ray Palmer from arrow come to central city to help team flash take down so bee controlling meta human. Meanwhile, Joe and Barry attempt to include more people into what they know about Harrison wells.

Grant gustin is a great Barry Allen and this has been proved by these last few episodes. You clearly feel for the character and you understand why he is going through the emotional trauma that he is on the show. You manage to sympathise for the character even though he is more gifted then any of us.

Now yes I have not been a huge fan of the felicity and Ray love triangle story on arrow this season but I like both of the performances and their chemistry is really good. It is clear to me that Ray Is much better suited to being a part of team flash then arrow because he is science based and just fills in well especially with Cisco. Cisco was a really big part of the episode too with him clearly starting to work out that wells is the reverse flash and it makes you wonder how long he has realised for. Wells didn't have a big influence on the episode himself but judging from next week's promo that is going to change. The Meta human bug eyed bandit wasn't that important to the episode and felt just like an obstacle the team had to overcome become they get to the reverse flash.

The premise of the starling city characters coming over was a good idea even though if they weren't there I'm not sure how much different the episode would have been. The advancement of the big stories is really helping the flash and making it one of the more interesting stories on tv.

The script was good with allot of well timed humour and quick witted dialogue but again when it needed to get dramatic it knew how too.

The action wasn't really what this episode was about to be honest, I thought the bees were pretty cool but they didn't have a big purpose in the episode.

Overall Even though this episode felt a bit like filler I did really enjoy it with even better to come I hope.
