THE FLASH SEASON 5 EP 1 SERIES

A new villain was introduced that may shine some light into some of Dr. But aside from that Platique was awesome. I had the same issue with 'The Arrow' but I guess he doesn't have much of a choice aside from speaking face-to-back with people, which wouldn't be very dramatic. It was cool to see her meet him but why the hell didn't Barry keep shaking his head like he always does? Do they expect us to believe that the convenient lights placed in convenient places that give us, the audience, a hard time seeing Barry Allen's face due to the lens flare affect Iris the same way? Barry was lucky that Iris needed glasses at the time or was half asleep or something but next time he will have to do the shaky-face thing in order to retain believability.

One issue I have to address is the unrealistic way Iris met with The Flash. It was kind of freaky how much Joe enjoyed that ability but he is still a cool dude. It was also pretty awesome to see him distort his voice just like Oliver Queen does but instead of some voice changing software, using his super-abilities. These led to two awesome moments (especially the climax, holy crap!) that proved that set-pieces are The Flash's strong suit. Speaking of powers this episode perfectly added plenty of new abilities for Barry to master like running on water and running up walls. It was cool to see a different and more original set of powers though, different to the gassy ones of the other episodes. The negative was that this episode's meta-human 'Plastique' had an uninteresting personality just like the previous ones (although quite good-looking) and the actress that played her gave a hurtful performance, and not in a good way. The army's involvement was a nice touch that gave this episode a bit of more tension and even a new shady character to join the roster. So it was surprising to see that Plastique handled it's plot fairly well by adding a more mysterious and interesting case for the Flash Team to investigate.

The same way it went with the Arrow series which hit it's high note in it's second half and season finale. As we all expected, these first episodes in the series have been tricky as they have to be used to flesh out the character of Barry Allen so it is understandable if the plot of these episodes or even the villains are a bit weak for the first half of the season. The Flash: Plastique Review In this The Flash episode, the show took a more investigative tone, as the army got involved in the latest mission undertaken by STAR Labs to stop a new meta-human.
