Four episodes into a twenty three episode season means we're gonna get filler material and or villain of the week. And it's latter here, whilst the main story arc ticks ever so slightly forward.
But actually not a bad little episode, this one. Spin, a character taken from the penultimate story arc of the Wally West run in the comics, back in the day, gets a bit of an update to go with the modern world and modern news media. And is quite an effective creation because they are so utterly unrepentant.
Meantime, Sherlocq Wells turns out not to be quite so annoying as you might have expected from last week. And again Ralph gets to do some serious detection work. I do hope they keep developing this side of the character.
There are some excellent visual effects in speedster moments too.
Caitlin alas just gets relegated to desk duty this week. And the family dynamics of the Allens are good drama, but getting annoyed about things that haven't happened yet and trying to justify things they havent done yet doesn't quite click.
A whole episode without Cisco though? For me a pleasant change of pace. 8/10 all in all.
