That showdown in the city street was stupid. Flash could have easily snatched those guns out if their hands. At the very least a cop could have sniped them in the leg or something.

Liked the ending with Barry moving back in with Joe though.

Yes that fight was silly. I don't understand how those 2 with those guns was in the least bit threatening to either the flash or the cops. Any of them could easily have taken those two out.

No, his sister is Lisa Snart/Golden Glider.

Ok. Never read the comics. Just reaction from the heat wave guy seemed to imply that he recognized who ever it was.

That guy turned in a terrible acting job tonight, he was much better in prison break.

I didn't care for either of the villain's performances. Thought the episode was overhyped from the cast and crew.

why did the bad guys keep shooting at the shields when the cops' legs and feet were exposed?

what exactly does "Golden Glider" do?

She has a sweet pair of ice skates that create ice to skate on wherever she goes including midair.

Eta:

In the New 52, Glider has gained metahuman abilities due to being caught in the blast that also gave Mirror Master, Captain Cold, Heatwave, and Weather Wizard their powers. Glider has become separated from her body, giving her an astral form that allows her to fly and move at extreme speeds. She also has ribbon-like tendrils that can easily cut and kill a person without any evidence of an attack.

Thats the first iteration of the character, she's gotten a different set of powers in her new iteration, astral projection and razor sharp ribbons if I remember correctly.

Was anybody else really underwhelmed with this episode? Nothing really interesting happened.

eta: Barry catching the missle and throwing it back was pretty cool.

worst episode of the series so far. Captain Cold and Fire guy were terrible. Full of corny one liners.

For those of you that can't handle Barry being shot by cold guns and heat guns when he should be fast enough to dismantle anyone instantly...

It's the nature of the character. Always has been.

Prepare yourselves, the Trickster is on his way, and Barry will get slapped with rubber chickens and squirted with joke shop flowers.

It's a comic book show.

Yeah, it was a little underwhelming. The final battle scene wasn't near as good as it was hyped up to be (but the special effects part of it was actually pretty darn good for a tv show).

I think some are getting a little too caught up in the lack of "realism" with it though. Yeah in real life the police could've just sniped Cold & Heatwave, and yeah a man that can break the sound barrier should've been able to disarm them pretty easily. But this is comic book put on the small screen. Sometimes you have to suspend your disbelief when dealing with some of this stuff. Heck in the comics Flash has problems with a guy that throws boomerangs for goodness sakes. And the Flash in this show is still trying to figure out how to best use his abilities when battling different foes.

So yeah the outcome of the final battle was a underwhelming (as was the over all episode), and yeah two guys holding suped up guns should've (in reality) been easier to take down, but it is a comic based tv show where reality should be suspended to some extent. And the special effect were still pretty impressive for a tv show on CW.

I agree with everyone saying that the episode was corny as hell.

The villains sucked.
