    Short summary describing this episode.

    The Fastest Man Alive last edited by Kid_EST on 02/26/21 09:26PM View full history

    Barry (Grant Gustin) escorts Iris (Candice Patton) to a university gathering honoring scientist Simon Stagg (guest star William Sadler). When six gunmen storm the event, Barry changes into The Flash and tries to stop them. While he does save a man’s life, he passes out before he can capture the robbers, which frustrates him. As Dr. Wells (Tom Cavanagh), Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) and Cisco (Carlos Valdes) scramble to find out what’s wrong with Barry, Joe (Jesse Martin) comes down hard on Barry for taking the law into his own hands and risking his life. Barry realizes that it wasn’t six gunmen but a metahuman named Danton Black (guest star Michael Christopher Smith), who can make multiples of himself. Meanwhile, Iris becomes even more intrigued by the “red streak.” David Nutter directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kreisberg and teleplay by Andrew Kreisberg & Geoff Johns (#102).

    Flash and the strange case of the Multiplying Man (Multiplex). 0

    Barry is still getting used to his new abilities and learning its limits, but things continue to get complicated as Barry still tries to balance the normal and abnormal sides of his life. On top of that, Allen and his team deal with another metahuman, one that can multiply himself! AND THE STORY CONTINUES! Spinning off from Arrow, this Flash series has already learned from some of Arrow's early on mistakes (in season 1) and has taken off at a faster speed! Last episode (which is also the first e...

    Like Father, Like Son 0

    The Flash continues to build its universe in episode 2 as it introduces the villain: Multiplex. I feel like the show is setting up to be a villain of the week kind of show, rather than taking the arrow approach and draw out the primary threat over the course of a season. Now, these villains due make up the super villain team known as "the Rogues" so I was hoping to see some links between the characters instead of just throwing them away. However as you can tell by the end of the episode, Multipl...

    Hit the Ground Running 0

    Second episodes can be a good thing for mediocre pilots, if you’re pilot is lucky enough to get an initial order. With all the normal pilot stuff out of the way, second episodes get a little more leeway with things while hitting similar the same beats( Barry doubts himself, Mentor figure big speech, Cisco says funny things) and explaining to viewers what the show is about. Even for a very good pilot like the one The Flash had, it’s not a waste to echo some prior themes. “Faste...
