One issue I have to address is the unrealistic way Iris met with The Flash. It was kind of freaky how much Joe enjoyed that ability but he is still a cool dude.
It was also pretty awesome to see him distort his voice just like Oliver Queen does but instead of some voice changing software, using his super-abilities.
These led to two awesome moments (especially the climax, holy crap!) that proved that set-pieces are The Flash's strong suit. Speaking of powers this episode perfectly added plenty of new abilities for Barry to master like running on water and running up walls. It was cool to see a different and more original set of powers though, different to the gassy ones of the other episodes. The negative was that this episode's meta-human "Plastique" had an uninteresting personality just like the previous ones (although quite good-looking) and the actress that played her gave a hurtful performance, and not in a good way. The army's involvement was a nice touch that gave this episode a bit of more tension and even a new shady character to join the roster. So it was surprising to see that Plastique handled it's plot fairly well by adding a more mysterious and interesting case for the Flash Team to investigate. The same way it went with the Arrow series which hit it's high note in it's second half and season finale. As we all expected, these first episodes in the series have been tricky as they have to be used to flesh out the character of Barry Allen so it is understandable if the plot of these episodes or even the villains are a bit weak for the first half of the season.
The Flash: Plastique Review In this The Flash episode, the show took a more investigative tone, as the army got involved in the latest mission undertaken by STAR Labs to stop a new meta-human.
