Tonight's episode of The Flash had some great Easter Eggs, but they did little to make up for the lack of plot advancement.
The story line between Nora, Iris, and Barry was a decent but disappointing one. While it was great to see the cool Flash museum, it had some good character development for Nora (in terms of how she treated her mother), and the chemistry between Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, and Jessica Parker Kennedy was awesome as usual, it failed to advance any story line whatsoever.
Ralph and Cisco having an episode together was very unusual, and it surprisingly turned out to be super funny. The only thing that somewhat disappointed me was the new girl that Cisco has fell in love with. In all honesty, I wish he would get back with Gypsy or Golden Glider. Nevertheless, the plotline worked due to its humor and chemistry between Hartley Sawyer and Carlos Valdes.
Cicada's story line involving his Niece sucked! I hate that they are making Grace evil, it feels very forced. I am officialy done with Cicada, I feel that he is the worst villain of the show so far! Please bring back Eobard!
Sherloque now has an idea as to who Nora is in contact with, and I'm excited as to how the team will react to it. Barry Allen also is getting suspicious with Nora, should be interesting if he tells Iris or not.
Lastly, I think that they just revealed the villain for next season. While they were listening to a video in the Flash museum about Cicada, the police chief mentioned that Cicada had killed more people then Red Death. For those of you who don't know who he is, Red Death is Bruce Wayne from an alternate Earth who is a speedster. I doubt they would make it Bruce Wayne, but I would love to have him as the villain next season.
Overall, tonight's episode of The Flash, while featuring some great humor, cool Easter eggs, good character development, and strong performances from Jessica Parker Kennedy, Candice Patton, Grant Gustin, and Carlos Valdes, heavily suffered from a lack of plot advancement, lack of Eobard Thawne, and some forced material.
Out of 4 stars I would give it...
