The Flash (S1E12) - "Crazy for You" - 2/3/15
LOVE IS IN THE AIR - Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) decides that she and Barry (Grant Gustin) need to move on from Ronnie (guest star Robbie Amell) and Iris (Candice Patton) and find new loves so she takes him for a night out at the local karaoke bar. Caitlin doesn't have any luck making a love connection but Barry meets Linda Park (guest star Malese Jow), a sports reporter for the Central City Picture News, and asks her out on a date. When Barry tells Iris he has a date, Iris is surprised by her reaction. Meanwhile, Cisco (Carlos Ramon) considers Hartley's (guest star Andy Mientus) dangerous offer and the team searches for Shawna (guest star Britne Oldford), a meta-human with teleportation powers, who just busted her boyfriend Clay (guest star Micah Parker) out of Iron Heights. When Henry (guest star John Wesley Shipps) snoops around in an attempt to help Joe (Jesse L. Martin) and Barry solve the crime, he ends up in the infirmary after getting roughed up by inmates. Rob Hardy directed the episode written by Aaron Helbing & Todd Helbing (#112). Original airdate 2/3/2015.

Is it weird that they have Linda Park as a love interest for Barry? They couldn't have named her something else.
Not a bad episode. A lot of cute moments but it seems the main purpose was to lay more backstory for future episodes (Grood, Firestorm, Piped Piper, Barry's love square)

Fun seeing Grant Gustin channel his Glee powers for the karaoke number.
Peek-a-boo was a neat character to see but she also suffers from Flash's terribly named rogues gallery.
Also cool that Cisco has a little bit of fighting ability - not something that I expected to see. Of course, he's still a fuck-up and let out the Pied Piper for no good reason, but hey...one less mouth to feed in their prison I suppose.
And I guess we'll see how Grodd is in full light. It wasn't a bad appearance tonight but I am worried that he's going to come across really cheesy on a TV show budget.

Even when Wally is added to the show, presumably he'll be in his teen years. Unless this show is on for 12 years or something, I don't think we'll have enough time in which Wally would be old enough to seriously consider marriage. So the Linda Park character doesn't bother me that much. This is just the much older sister of that Linda Park. I should get a no-prize.
I think they dragged this Firestorm thing out too long. It's not like his addition was a big secret, almost everyone knew he was coming. It will feel anti-climatic when he does appear as himself.

As a Wally Fanboy, I disliked the Linda Park thing.
As a Flash fanboy, that end scene had me marking out.

That's what I thought.
Slightly off topic, this show had me wondering whatever happened to Danielle Panabaker's sister, Kay. Is it true that she retired from acting to pursue a career as a zoologist?

Another episode with multiple scenes in their special prison with nothing explaining how it supposedly works logistically. Really try to enjoy the show, but there is just no getting around how badly that was laid out. Since they have improved on the here one fight, gone in the next, use of his powers the prison is the only element that takes away from their story.

The prisoner's needs are taken care for by the computer AI. When needed a bed, toilet, shower or whatever comes out of the walls. Once the object is not needed it goes back into the wall to be cleaned by machines. Wells being from the future knew a prison would be needed so he made sure he had one ready. I'm not sure why he made the prison inside his energy thingy but why not kill two birds with one stone. Also before you ask Wells did get permission from the government to housed these bad guys. This prison is no different than the hundreds of private prisons where we send people we never want to hear from again. You might think it is illegal but terrorist have no rights and besides they will get their day in court some day. They might have to wait 40 or 50 years but they will get their day in court.

I thought Peek-A-Boo 1st comic book appearance in FLASH #180 2nd series was rather BLAH.
But I enjoyed her on the TV series.
Ending scene was a Killer.

Sorry, not really familiar with the significance of Linda Park. Can someone enlighten me? In spoilers if needed.

They established this bizarre logistical nightmare and brushed it off like it was no big deal. They are now running the equivalent of Iron Heights Prison with 3 people, none of whom have any experience dealing with prisoners. That's a really strange thing to not explain in any way.

If Caitlin suddenly started flying, would you expect an explanation? After all, it's a show about a guy who can run 600+ MPH.

At least it's not the level of not really adressing how a certain character in another in-universe show is alive

The easier thing to do would be to have Wells donate money to the city to build out Iron Heights as the superprison it's actually supposed to be. Sticking every evil metahuman they capture in their basement and forgetting about them until the plot dictates otherwise is pretty lazy.

Yeah, I must admit I briefly wondered about it too, but it's one of those things you just put aside, given the universe/genre we're talking about.
