The intriguing plot line is getting more and more interesting.
Barry looking into the future to see all the different outcomes reminded me a lot of Avengers: Infinity War, but I feel like the Flash did it better. Grant Gustin's acting at seeing Central City be destroyed was incredible. I love how they are writing Iris this season, she is not as annoying as she was the first and third season of the show, and Candice Patton's acting is also getting better and better.
Killer Frost's story line had me dying of laughter. I cannot believe that she wants to be an artist, that was the last thing I expected her to want to be. Killer Frost and Ralph Dibny going to Cisco's girlfriend's art gallery had me dead, that was just perfect, her judgement on paintings is also how I feel about certain paintings.
The Meta story line was better than last week's, but I was not a fan of the villain. The final confrontation between Barry and the villain was okay. I was glad that Gideon is back as well. Acting was solid in this story line, but I hope that the villains get better over time. I really feel that they need to get Bloodwork more involved and show why he is a threat. While I was not a fan of the villain Cicada, and while I was mixed on the Thinker, at least they got them going from the first episode.
Bloodwork's story line was very interesting, but odd at the same time. I still do not get what his powers do, but it is going to be interesting when they flesh them out more. I still think that he is going to play a huge role in the upcoming Crisis.
The return of Jay Garrick was great, love his character so much. The introduction to his wife, Joan Williams, was a great idea as well. I really hope that nothing happens to Garrick or Joan during the Crisis, as I love having him as the mentor to Barry.
If Barry does end up dying, I am going to predict that he will return as The Black Flash, that would be the perfect way to do it, in my opinion.
Overall, despite a week villain and underusing Bloodwork, tonight's episode of The Flash is a improvement over last week's due to its humor, return of Jay Garrick, emotional depth, intriguing buildup to the Crisis, and strong performances from Grant Gustin, John Wesley Shipp, Candice Patton, and Danielle Panabaker.
Out of a 10 I would give it...
