Neither had a ton of screen time, but they were both the lens through which the rest of the cast’s emotion was focused and amplified. The ensemble cast is working great together – as I said, Wally and Barry are magical together, and you can feel some genuine friendship between the whole cast leak through (the best thing about Tom Felton is how seamlessly he’s integrated with everybody else) but the two who did the most work this week were Jesse Martin and Tom Cavanagh.

It’s not a dealbreaker, but it is very frustrating that the show is thisclose to perfect but can’t figure out how to lock the plot in without giving someone temporary idiocy.īut I do mean that they’re remarkably close to perfect. And then Wally, who has been hallucinating Savitar for a week, decides he’s going to fix everything and under no circumstances should the rest of the team be looped in on this. Then we find out that Caitlin was hanging onto a shard of the Philosopher’s Stone to try and get rid of her powers, even though we’ve been over that a billion times and also that’s the thing Savitar needs to get free. Barry plugs Julian into his Savitar communicator twice, even though I’m sure the quantum observer paradox applies to the speed force, so just talking to Savitar might be what lets him out (AND Barry convinces the team to go along with it by saying “Trust me.” Okay, guy who did Flashpoint). Everybody got a bite at this apple tonight. In the course of that, the show revealed maybe its biggest weakness: far too often on The Flash, otherwise extremely intelligent people (like, rocket scientists) have to be incredibly stupid in order to move the plot forward. Wally has been seeing flashes (AAH? GET IT? AAH? AAH?) of Savitar the team tries to figure out how to stop him the team fails. And so the episode is titled “The Wrath of Savitar.” This is the one where the season’s big bad comes back.

This unity doesn’t really last: we’re about at the point in the season where everything needs to go to shit so the good guys have more to triumph over.
