The Flash Mid Season Return - wait, what?

Revenge of the Rogues was the title of the episode that marked the return of The Flash. You can only create a shitty episode with a title like that!
So I think I watched Prison Break last night. They gave us the actors, and, at the end of the episode they gave us what was effectively a prison break, plus the twist of the century: the sister is the one breaking them out! Anyway, that was kind of weird but I thought I could roll with it. I can't. I am so sorry Wentworth but you should have your agent get you roles you actually would be credible in. He was not credible in Resident Evil. He still isn't in the Flash. My guess is that he should give up any sort of action/crime oriented material and do romantic comedies. Also, the guy can't act.




To be fair, the script didn't give him great material to work with. The one liners were soooo cheesy and predictable and dull. They should hire Joss Whedon to give them some pointers because this show is getting ridiculous. I am not sure if the script was bad or if the director did an awful job but the only enjoyable moment of this episode was probably the fight sequence at the end, at least they didn't talk.

I am always rooting for super hero and comic based television but I have to say that the Flash is getting way too cheesy and obvious. This is entirely due to the dialogue and script but I am afraid to say the acting is pretty awful too. Am I missing something about her character or has Danielle Panabaker skipped drama school?

When the cross over between the Flash and Arrow aired, I was so excited and it turned out to be an extremely good episode. The comedy was there thanks to Felicity and Oliver and the tone was a bit more balanced too. Grant Gustin also did a better job opposite these darker and drier characters. I read that they are planning more crossovers and for Felicity to go back to Central City so I might end up just watching these episodes. Some people might say that it's not cheesier than, let's say, a Smallville. That's fair, but I watched the 1st season of Smallville when I was 13 so I guess I am now looking for a little bit more substance in my shows. Also the dude is Superman. Comparing the Flash to CW's Arrow, ABC's Agents of Shield and Agent Carter or Fox' Gotham, I feel like The Flash is losing the battle for my attention.
