The Flash "Rogue Time" Review

I don't really know what to say, my capacity to review these shows is starting to drain on me, i've got Flash fatigue, it doesn't help that i don't really have much to talk about this episode because it felt very by the numbers. Captain Cold and team show up, cause mayhem, Flash stops them. I don't like Captain Cold, he's a boring villain, he's cheesy and it feels like they're forcing him in there. After last week had such a good finale and i was dying to find out where it was going to go, they wrapped it all up really quickly and replaced it with this generic schmuck. We get more of the stupid love triangle stuff (I mean seriously Barry, even i could tell her feelings were a heat of the moment type thing), Iris' boss or co-worker or whoever the hell he was is killed by Reverse Flash (Again, nothing new). The best stuff was still with Cisco, not the family dynamic, we've seen that a million times, but his accepting his failures. Cisco reveals the true identity of The Flash to save his brother and the scene where he tells the others was excellent because of course he's going to feel guilty and the others perfectly understand why, i love it because you'd be surprised how often people in these shows don't react with the proper emotion to these kind of events (*Cough* all of season 3 of Arrow! *cough*) and then the scene where Cisco and Dr Wells are having the talk and Wells is trying to comfort him on his mistakes and he gives the same speech he used last week on him with the whole "you have made me see what it is like to have a son" and all i could think was "you bastard". Oh and then there was the bar scene with Barry and Cisco, because we don't really have too many scenes of them just hanging out together, and then Barry's face when Cisco hooks up.

You know i'm starting to realise Cisco might be the most important character on the show, definitely one of the best actors on the show.

But yeah this was a really uninspired episode, i didn't care for watching it and i don't care to write about it.

I'm giving Rogue Time a 6/10. Cisco really is the one redeeming factor of the episode.
