Very campy episode. But, It was good to see Miller and Purcell again and it looks like they'll be back in a future installment. Both of them were quite over the top, especially Purcell.

Yes, Barry seriously needs a new love interest so he can get over Iris. Iris is cute and all, but she has zero chemistry with him and she's freaking moving in with her boyfriend.

Still loving the show, but it's getting to be pretty silly that the flash, who runs at hundreds of miles per hour, can't simply run by these clowns and knock the guns out of their hands. I realize now that the comic page is much more forgiving, but on screen it's OBVIOUS that a guy with a weapon like this won't be any match for the Flash.

I have been waiting for an Apache Chief revival for years. Thought his rebooted appearances in Young Justice would have helped out but zip so far.

Will they show cowards in this show?

You hit the nail on the head there. Its really apparent that those two actors have zero chemistry with each other. I give them alot of leeway since it's a CW show but its been really apparent from the get go.

A natural storyline would have Barry and Caitlin developing a temporary thing, but I think the producers are saving her for when Ronnie comes back. I've thought they have paced the relationship between Barry and Iris reasonably well. This is a series that could go on for seven or eight years, there is no need to rush it.

I agree with the others that Barry and Iris have zero chemistry together. Barry and Caitlin definitely have a little chemistry but they need to think out of the box and bring in a new girl. Maybe Captain Cold's sister?

And yes, it was silly that they showed Barry run home at the end and return with packed suitcases in a blink of an eye but he can't travel 50 yards quick enough to grab the guns out of the villains hands. They have got to up the writing there. That kind of stuff worked way back when but kids now seem a little more sophisticated about this stuff. My 10 year old immediately brought up that point whereas my 10 year old self would have likely just accepted it.

Didn't they already cast someone to play Linda Park? That's probably a love interest right there...

Yup, Malese Jow. She previously worked on The Vampire Diaries. Some spoilers in the story.

Enjoyed this episode. Wentworth Miller looks as if he is having a ball playing Cpt Cold, and I think that upped my enjoyment level.

Agree with others that Barry has very little chemistry with Iris. I do like him with Caitlyn, but then I looked up the name Caitlyn Snow and that's probably not going to happen.

I thought this was a pretty enjoyable episode. Agree that Purcell and Miller seemed to be a bit over the top but the Prison Break reunion was still fun. Also agree that Iris has no charisma with Barry. I don't know why they have such a hard time casting love interests with charisma in these super hero shows. Iris is almost as boring as Laurel in ARROW.

I assume Prof Stein is going to show up sooner than later, but not be merged with Firestorm.

Well, it was Victor Garber in the photo so that's probably a safe assumption.

The "run home pack a suitcase and back" but was a cute gag but that would have had to be faster than he's ever traveled in their testing.

Liked the Prison Break reunion too but they were lame vilians. The highlight was Wells almost getting out of the chair. That was a neat moment.
