The Flash is back after a week’s break with Barry continuing to learn about his new powers and facing continued problems that are clearly going to lead to something bigger later in the series.

The gang are alerted to another Metahuman within the city, only this one doesn’t want to hurt them. They befriend her and she bonds with Barry over their differences. Iris meets the ‘Streak’ and reveals her true motivation behind her obsession with him. Barry and Iris’ friendship hits rocky turf as Barry’s secrets start to come between them.
The show feels like a mix between Arrow and Smallville. Both leads have a gang of intelligent or talented friends to help them save the day, Iris is almost a clone of Laurel and everything seems to centre within the one city. This isn’t to say that it’s a bad thing, but it’s not entirely unique as many of these ideas have been done before.
Iris is very similar to Laurel in the way that she has become obsessed over this hero. Whereas Laurel was a lawyer, Iris is a journalist who posts her hobby on a blog. The more involved she gets with this, the more dangerous her life becomes yet she hasn’t the sense to realise that The Flash is making enemies and could target her for information?

Cisco had some great lines this week. Despite his earlier whining, he soon perks up when he sees a pretty lady and blurts out some creepy, stalkerish lines that make him look and sound so pathetic that you can’t help but feel for the guy. But when it comes down to it, he’s always on hand to help Barry save the day.
With Barry’s increased metabolism, he can no longer get drunk. Just to prove this theory correct, he, Cisco and Caitlin think it’s a great idea for them to down as many shots as possible. If drinking and driving is dangerous, how dangerous would it be for The Flash to run quickly? It’s a good thing pedestrians don’t have to find out.

What is Dr Wells’ motive? It’s been made clear that he wants to keep Barry safe, yet we all know that his wheelchair isn’t entirely necessary, and each episode ends with him doing something suspicious. Does he know what happened to Barry’s mother? Did he help cause it? Or is it something else entirely? He is a difficult man to trust for these reasons, but he’s also never done anything to Barry to cause distrust.
The show has started out strong and it looks like we may finally be starting to move away from Barry learning to use his powers as the major storyline. The increase of interest in Iris’ blog is interesting and could lead to all kinds of arcs but could also be a bit cliché if taken in the wrong direction.
