The Flash

So, for the past few days workers from the green department have been working outside my building, making that I cannot sleep during long enough in the morning. So this past morning to pass the time, because I was to tired to do anything else, I binge watched way to many series to be good :p But oh well. And from all of those I picked The Flash to discuss today.
I know I had said that I was going to write every day, but blame Hollywood, they just don't bring out enough good episodes I can be passionate about. Lately most series have been so so, with a few outstanding exceptions. The Flash 2x03 was one of those.

**CAUTION** SPOILER ALERT This entry contains spoilers from The Flash 2x03

Last nights episode starts off with a boom, a lot of action, Iris West (played by Candice Patton) is in a tight spot and almost gets killed, but still somehow managed to call Barry Allen aka The Flash (played by Grant Gustin) who then of course like every white knight, comes to her rescue.
Good opener.

What also made it score points Leonard Snart aka Captain Cold (played by Wentworth Miller) was back. And I have to admit, I have been a fan, ever since Prison Break. Oooh do I wish you liked girls... But trailing off... So he was back, just like his sister. Cisco (played by Carlos valdes) his heart was probably making salto's inside.
Plot of the story, Daddy Captain Cold (played by Michael Ironside) likes to put bombs in peoples heads. Puts one in his own daughter - seriously how sick do you have to be to do that, probably didn't like the fact she was a girl - and then forced his son to work with him, or he'd activate the bomb, which meant that her head would go kabloomi. So not good. Captain Cold does what he says and even gets help from Barry. While the others try to safe Lisa Snart (played by Peyton List)
Ofcourse at the end of the day, this is still The Flash and not Arrow , all ends well, Lisa gets saved, Leonard goes to prison, and Daddy cold dies.
And all is back to normal, well, until next week.

But all this gets broken through abit with some serious tear jerking scenes between Iris and her father (played by Jesse L Martin). Apparently Joe has been lying for several years to his daughter about her mom. Making her believe that she was dead.
Joe is very afraid that he'll loose Iris and asks Barry for advice. Barry tells him to just come clean, what is in my opinion always the best option, no matter how hard it hurts, the truth will always prevail. And that is what happened here. Joe eventually pulled all his courage together and told Iris, while completely breaking down. But instead of loosing her, she embraced him. It was the most touching moment of the whole episode.

And then there was the tears between the universes. I have said it before, I am not a fan of that new storyline. At least I wasn't. But now my curiosity got peaked. Dr. Wells (played by Tom Cavanagh) is back!
And before I forget, what is going on with the good Dr. Martin Stein (played by Victor Garber) will he become a new Firestorm?
