This week’s episode is in stark contrast with the rest of the season. Grab your honey and hold them close, because it’s time to take a look at CW’s The Flash.

They say that any show is only as strong as its filler. The Flash is no different, because for an episode that normally would be dismissed as a Monster of the Week, it’s surprisingly solid in plot and characterization.

Moreover, this episode is about trust between teammates, friends, family, and mentors. It’s a recurring theme, but especially here.

Thankfully, we have someone extremely well-versed in the importance of trust between teammates! Because that’s what they’re all about over on Arrow.

Though this episode is old, spoiler warnings are still in effect after the cut.

Kidding! Tricked ya! Bet you didn’t see that coming, Flash fans!

Let’s try this again.

This is a great, fun episode! It also exposes a lot of flaws about the overall plot!

It slices! It dices! It juliennes! It continues under the cut!

(See what I did there? Cut?? Eh???)

Kevin and Bixby are prepared for a little quality time with family this week. Glide on over and have some punch, because it’s time to take a look at CW’s The Flash.

I’m somewhat upset with Google right now. I bought the S3 Season Pass the same way I bought the S2 one, but it’s not giving me the episodes the morning after so that I can download and watch them on my way to work. The season premiere showed up on Friday afternoon, and as of this writing – Wednesday morning – 3×02 has not yet appeared.2

Yes, I can watch it tonight on the CW App, but that’s not the point. I want these on my Google Play account.1 I paid money for them. Come on, Google, give me a break here. Or even just an explanation.

Ah well. I can wait a few days. Just means I’ll have to avoid everyone else’s hot takes.

Speaking of hot takes, Cisco is in handcuffs this episode and Heat Wave punches him in the face.

Though this episode is old, spoiler warnings are still in effect after the cut.
