Flash 1.03

Things You Can't Outrun

- Barry battles a new super-villain, the Mist, who is looking to revenge on the people who led to his death sentence; he isn't back from the dead; he never died; instead he gained superpowers the night of his execution which was the same night that Barry got his superpowers
- Caitlin confronts her fear and visits the spot where Ronnie, her fiancee, was killed; his death had been mentioned before but in this episode they show some flashbacks; Ronnie is played by Robbie Amell, who has to be Stephen (Arrow) Amell's brother because he looks a lot like him
- Iris and Eddie finally tell Joe that they are dating, although he claims to have known about it, which isn't all that outrageous a claim considering how they almost get caught by him early in the episode
- there a visit to Iron Heights Prison where Henry Allen, Barry's father makes another appearance; he sees the Flash but it isn't clear if he is able to tell that it is Barry; he does get a quick look at his masked face just before Barry starts vibrating at super-speed to blur his features
- overall a great episode; so far I don't have any complaints; I like the show much more than Arrow; Jesse L. Martin who plays Joe West is a big part of that but the entire cast is good to great
- I was a little disappointed that Barry didn't use his super-speed effectively in an offensive way against the Mist but I guess it will take time for him to learn some tricks
- once again the episode ends with a cryptic scene involving Dr. Wells which this time hints that he is responsible for the accident that gave Barry his superpowers
- hungry for more
