It'd be hilarious if Eddie's change of heart at the end was just for show for Iris.
And it just occurred to me
Linda = Cady
Barry = Aaron Samuels
Iris = Regina George

Honestly, he's probably one of the best comic book villains ever put on live action, likely due to the show having so much time to build him up. Most adaptations of comic book supervillains have failed at being compelling/threatening in both film and TV.
This Reverse Flash is infinitely more interesting than his comic-book counterpart.

One of the writers on The Flash is currently being interviewed on Geek & Sundry's Twitch channel: http://www.twitch.tv/geekandsundry
Kai Wu is listed as having co-wrote "Going Rogue" and "Revenge of the Rogues." Not sure if she worked on tonights episode though (writers aren't listed on IMDB at the moment). She also contributes to "The Flash: Season Zero" which is the comic series that serves as the prequel to the show.
Edit: For any who may be interested in the segment that missed it, here it is: http://www.twitch.tv/geekandsundry/v/3944210 Kai Wu's segment starts around the 01:06:00 mark.

there's a fine line with these tv shows though between good and overexposed
something I think they could avoid if these seasons were like 14-15 eps max. Arrow's already kind of feeling worn out this year, and I fear with how much Flash has crammed into this season they will do the same soon enough after this year's finale.

Nowhere near as good as last week but still a fun episode.
While I still don't love The Rogues, they were much better this time. Plus it's nice we have a reason why Flash doesn't just catch them and lock them up straight away and why they don't just move to another city.
So Iris the reporter and Eddie the detective believed that tripe that Caitlin fed them? They must suck at their jobs.

Echoing the sentiments here...
I fucking love when RF shows up. You just know some shit is about to go down.

Snart doesn't really care about money. He literally just does it for the thrill, which he stated clearly tonight.

That gold gun was so stupid. I like how the Rogues aren't going to kill anymore, although they already killed so many people. The scene with Zoom fucking shit up was awesome, though.

Someone gotta edit Barry and Iris into this gif. My boy B. Allen was SICK tonight.
I don't know what people aren't getting about the conversation between Cold and Flash. Fact is, Cold won and Barry knew it. So he worked out a deal. Barry knows Snart steals for sport and he appealed to that part of him by saying "If you're so good, do what you do without taking life." Fact is, Cold won and Barry knew it. He couldn't lock him away because then his identity is blown and considering all Barry just lived through, he's not going to risk his loved ones by having an open identity. And he couldn't kill him cause, well, it's Barry. On the flip, he did make sure Snart knew if he did anything to hurt or cause someone else to hurt his loved ones, the deal's off and Snart and the rest of the Rogues are going into mini-Guantanamo.
He's one of the scariest villains in any live action comic book adaptation for my money. They've done an excellent job with him. Just pure menace and the way the other characters just look helpless whenever he appears.

I can't help but think that instead of stealing a casino truck full of money, they could've just used that gold gun to make a lot of gold instead...
The Snarts don't care about the money. Or at least, Cold doesn't. They steal cause for the thrill of it all.

After last week's episode this is average
Flash and Captain cold agreement at the end was flimsy. It's like shoe horn for Captain Cold's show

Was the Reverse Flash's voice different at the end when he said "You really were on to the story of the century"? It didn't sound like Wells at all.
The only thing I thought was obviously contrived was Dante - it's like he just showed up to give Cisco a reason to help the Rogues and reveal the Flash's identity.
I thought it was a good episode. We got some fun alternate history character moments, but it's a shame that none of it really sticks - we're back to the same page we were on two episodes ago. We can't have balls-to-the-wall episodes every week. The most important thing is that Barry learned that messing around with time is dangerous, which will become vital in future episodes.

Speed Force I think. Prep time might bend some of the rules that are established but Batman still has to work within them. That's not to say it isn't BS as well. It normally doesn't break internal logic set by the universe I think other then when it comes to Superman. Speed Force comes off as a Deus Ex Machina though that breaks the rules when needed. There is a reason it's at the center of so many, if not all of the multiverse and crisis stories. At least that's how its appeared to me over the years. That's why I think you have to handle Flash well. It's so easy for things to go off the rails I believe that part of DC is used wrong.

Speed Force,
Prep Time comes from Batman's regular personality, still requires him to personally do stuff and finally no matter how much of a jump or bs it is normally its somewhat logical/plausible.

I thought it was pretty silly when Barry was complaining about Iris rejecting him, like it was on the same level as anything that happened on the "lost day".
"She didn't even eat her cronut!!!"
For real. An entire city was about to die by tsunami.
Iris is fucking with your head Barry. Get out.

This scene in the middle of Jitters with Iris and Barry is the worst, most cringe worthy piece of television I have ever seen.
Kinda loved seeing Eddie punch Barry in the face.

Lol, Eddie is such a bro.
She did, however not with Geoff Johns like the last two. Looks like she's doing another with Johns next season though.
In this show they probably will be.

Man, this episode sucked. Shit just randomly changes because boo hoo we need drama and nothing can go right for Barry. Then Cisco magically makes a gold gun for his date that can magically turn stuff into gold and they still feel the need to steal stuff? Bitch, just spin gold and sell that.
I am looking forward to see what happens now that Barry has an inkling of Wells' plot, but this episode was otherwise just junk. Really a heel-face-turn from last week.

I fucking love Captain Cold and the Rogue gang. They're all hysterical and clearly having the time of their life.
I assume the gold gun is just some sticky honey-like adhesive that murders/immobilizes its victims instead of actual gold.
Would like to see Lisa get some more upgrades later though.

Extended Promo. I'd say to use spoiler tags but the cat's been out of the bag regarding Hamill in this thread for a long time now.
Going to guess that gun didn't turn people into real gold. It was probably just a colored metal. It's a tiny bit more plausible, she just wanted something to look gold to match the Golden Glider character.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TRICKSTER BITCHES TRICKSTER!
I've sorta warmed up to Captain Cold, but anyway it was a solid episode.
That moment when Wells told Cisco the line about knowing what it feels like to have a son. The feels considering how Wells killed him last episode muttering those same words.
Maybe Barry will travel back in time before she met Eddy and finally be with her *tears up* that would be beautiful.
When is Grodd coming back? I need to ship him and Barry.

Man if any of you folks complain about Grodd in his second/third appearance like you do Cold I will wreck faces.
Show is fun and the off shoot stories featuring recurring villains are entertaining and still manage to move the plot along. Something I feel like Arrow has struggled with this season.
Then again I don't even know what Arrow is trying to do this season.
