Flash 1x06 The Flash is born review

Hey guys,

just finished watching a spectacular episode of The flash, it's the seventh episode which is entitled The Flash is born.

This episode's villain is Girder played by Greg Finley who has an accident in a plant which transforms him into a man made of iron. When Barry discovers that his speed is nothing against his strenght he has to dig into his powers and break the sound barriers so that his punches can do serious damage. 

This episode had many positives.

1. Barry talking to Iris as the Flash , it reminds me a lot of Clark talking to Lois as the Blur and I think their encounters are really nice to watch because of the chemistry between the actor and because of the way they happen with Barry showing off his powers to prevent Iris from getting too close to him.

2. Great Easter Egg  Did anyone hear the nickname they gave to Tony Woodward aka Girder? They called him the Man of Steel. Does that name ring any bell? Even though we'll never see Superman on the show I still think it is cool that they give us some cool Easter Eggs like this one. 

3.Scientific explanation I extremely enjoy that a scientific explanation is given for anything The Flash has to do. I like that a bunch of scientists always have a way of finding out how to defeat an enemy through science. This time around they explained that no matter how powerful and dense a metal is, if hit at the right speed it could get severely damaged. 

4. Cisco, Speaking of Cisco, who suggested the solution to beat Girder, I think he is an awesome character, he is there to represent all of us. His excitement after finding out that Barry broke the sound barrier was the excitement all of us had while watching the scene. I simply think he is amazing 

5. Veil of mystery Of course, this episode gives us another piece of mistery on the murder of Barry's mom by showing us the Reverse Flash stealing all the investigation documents of Detective West 

6. The Flash Last but not least the scene where Barry and Iris come up with the name The Flash. After 7 episode we finally have a superhero known with his own name, which is something rare considering that it took Clark to be called Superman 10 seasons and we yet have to hear Oliver Queen be called The Green Arrow

However, one tiny thing that could be considered as negative is the shot of Barry breaking the sound barrier and hitting Girder. Unfortunately the special effect were very bad and we could clearly see that the image was created through a computer.  It didn't look real at all. 

Apart from this nitpicky thing the episode was simply epic and I am willing to be that next week's will be even better.
