THE FLASH: Nora Races To Save Iris In The New Promo For Season 5, Episode 14: "Cause and XS"

So far this week:

1. Arrow- great
2. Flash- okay/good
3. Black Lightning- alright/okay

Next week's episode:



Nuff said.

Fun and good episode, Barry and Ralph’s team up in the black market was compelling and ended up being pretty badass. I just wonder if now that Goldfacewas taken down that all those CCPD “toastmaster” weapons were also confiscated which is what Barry wanted to do.

Grant Gustin was great as “The Chemist”, channeled a little bit of evil Future Flash as well as Elseworlds!Green Arrow with the grit and coldness to convinced Goldface of his fake rep as a villain. Ralph’s instincs kicking in when he saw the machine that was meant to help children shows how far he’s come since S4.

That shooter scene at the end was epic. Goldface’s end was a little gruesome with the gold bleeding from his eyes but I like they didn’t back down from making him a meta like in the comics.

Speaking of rep Cicada’s starting to already spread through the city if the guy that works at the factory he used to go is already scared of him and he wasn’t even a meta who has to watch over his back from him.

I liked the scenes with Iris and him at his house, from him acting as his cousin who Iris was originally looking for to her trying to escape at the end from when he figured her out, tense final moments. But at least now thanks to Iris they know of his sore spot in his lung which will make up for the lack of the bio-stasis tech to hold him still. They still have to get through his dagger though.

I did felt bad for him when Iris knocked over the dollhouse to escape though. In an abandoned and messy house that was supposed to be for a new life and hope for his niece that was the last piece of humanity there was inside. No wonder he’s going after her next week.

At the start of the show I thought it was gonna be either Cisco or Ralph who were gonna end up being close to Sherloque but this game of cat and mouse he and Nora have been playing since he arrived and began researching her is ending up with her actually caring about him and his lonely life even if her originally goal was to distract him from his investigation on her and Thawne. Funny how she’s being mentored by someone sketchy that uses the faces of a Wells but is actually going to end up caring about one that has it as his real face despite their differences.

The sequence of Sherloque meeting his new objection of affection was cool (this can’t be either the last we’ll see of the “timeline being malleable” thing” and I enjoyed more the “Council of Exes” than the Wells one tbh.

Aaand she’s a meta. The stakes just got higher. Maybe her powers could end up playing a role later?

The promo for next week is so simple but awesome. It's basically Nora's "Flashtime" ep while also her own Groundhog Day take like Zari's from Legends S3.

I think she is going to be using a lot her reverse time ability that we've seen in S4 finale and when she was fighting Barry in 5x04 more than opening breaches and traveling minutes or seconds into the past.

Cicada looks scary as hell too there, specially with his silhouette behind Iris' office.

Forgot to mention that the ex wives mentioned Breacher coming after Sherloque if he doesn't pay them soon. Seeing Danny Trejo again would be nice.
