The Flash 1x03 Things you can't outrun review

Hey guys,

sorry I didn't put this review up yesterday but I've been busy lately.
I did see the third episode yesterday however and here is what I thought about it.
I think this was another great episode. I am starting to think that Grant Gustin really would have had enough acting chops to carry his own movie. He is starting to look and sound like the Flash.
The episode was very emotional at times, exciting and shocking.

In this episode we got to see Stephen Amell's cousin Robbie Amell who plays Ronnie Raymond die  in a flashback. His character is most likely coming back as the character Firestorm. However it is still unclear whether he'll join his body with Martin Stein to become the original Firestorm or whether the showrunners wanna keep it simple by having only him as Firestorm. Those of you who have read The Flash comics know that Flash's storylines are quite convoluted so shorunners might decide to simplify things so that the audience doesn't get lost.

We are also starting to understand the dynamics of Team Flash and the personalities of each character. One of the best moments of the whole episode was Barry's father telling his son about the first time he walked ( he didn't walk, he ran) and I feel that the show really embraces the relationship between Barry and his father.


Professor Harrison Wells keeps on being the most interesting character, we all wonder who he truly is. Some people say he's the reverse flash other people have actually said that he could be a flash from the future ( Bart Allen) or perhaps an older version of Barry Allen. He evidently knows a lot about the future but it is still unclear if he is going to be a villain or a hero.

One of the negatives of this episode for me was the villain. The villain we were introduce to in these first three episodes were not significant but I feel that at this point in the season they don't really matter. The only purpose of these villains is to have Barry show off his powers but in all honesty I prefer when Flash saves random people on the streets.

Here's next week sneak peek
