Barry returned to where he left from, so there is no old Barry.
This script needed a few more polishes. Scene after scene fell really flat, especially during the Caitlin plot, which in true CW fashion is being dragged out. JUST TELL THEM ALREADY. I laughed out loud during the whole "dude tries to detain her" scene, which was badly written and performed. Given that she could freeze him solid, what was he really expecting here?
The monster of the week didn't really work because they didn't have the budget to showcase their creation and it didn't really end up mattering much anyway. New Wells is mostly just making me miss Earth-2 Wells but I at least appreciate that they're not going the easy route and making him evil (at least so far).
(I did like the final Julian scene, even if it did feel unrealistic that he's softened towards Barry so quickly.)

Yeah, they need to chuck this Wells back to where he came from.

But is it equivalent to Wells taking off his glasses, then standing up?
Realizing you almost killed a kid would do that to you.

So the kid was bullied and then decided to create a giant hologram dinosaur monster haha, oh man. Sure, why the fuck not. Lol.
Is Barry supposed to be a sympathetic character? Because I sorta understand why someone wouldn't like him from an outsider perspective. To them he's an incompetent flake when people are trying to get work done that saves lives. Unless you know his secret, there isn't much reason to like him. He's "nice" but childish.
And then another Killer Frost stinger. This season is losing me. They're just pulling the same old tricks out of the bag.

While I agree with those three things you mentioned I also really enjoyed HR's dumbness and Julian's speech kinda got to me too. I'm enjoying the season but not loving it.
For the 52nd time, there's no need to spoiler tag speculation.
Teddy Sears is a series regular on the new 24, he probably isn't back for a while.
As much as the black man getting iced and making the heel turn was bullshit, I'm glad it didn't get drawn out. It was mostly there as a demonstration that she isn't as in control as she thinks. (Which is also a valid reason to not to tell anyone about)
I like how versatile the actor is. Dude is playing a great klutz.

It's crazy because Tom Cavanagh has only ever been known for his serious dramatic acting

There was quite a bit of H Wells the time traveler speculation in season one. And HG Wells was actually in Legends of Tomorrow. They're not subtle about their fondness for him on these shows.
Julian is really Draco. Tragic backstory proves it.
Kreisberg also worked on Warehouse 13 where the scientific genius HG Wells invented stuff for her stupid brother to write about. He is now doing that HG Wells story from the point of the stupid brother.

Would make sense this weirdness is popular in Earth 13.

That whole thing was so fucking stupid. So this dude does a sudden heel turn and plans on forcibly running tests on her...in her mother's lab...and then locks himself inside the room after he's seen how easily she can freeze things...
I still don't understand why she isn't telling Team Flash who has experience with metahumans. Cisco is a metahuman, so they're obviously not going to automatically shun her. It makes no sense. It's really just highly manufactured drama. Caitlin is going to entrust her mom that she doesn't speak to with this knowledge before the only friends she has? Even with her mom being a specialist in cryogenics (how convenient), it doesn't ring true for her character. Going to her mom seems like a last resort move, not her first choice of action.
I think they were referencing the Spielberg flick.
Especially if it has been months this has been going on. If she has a strained relationship with her mother why isn't her friends not the first people to go before her mom. This seems just contrived drama later on especially since it will change little if it wasn't a secret and the main plot will probably go the same.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
What movie are you talking about? Sweaty Men? It won all the Oscars despite its poor performance at the box office.

Cisco went a little weird on her last season after getting back form Earth 2 and thinking she was acting a little too much like Killer Frost.
He is talking about Gladiator.
I wouldn't call running from old money tragic.
I guess that could be it like maybe she is worried about turning into Killer Frost.
How about running from a family who didn't support you and what you wanted to do with your life?

It's also Harrison Wells. He has an identical twin on Earth-19
This is the twist I would expect and still love.
They're also death eaters!
Indeed. The Christian Bale movie.

No. It's not close, and it's not only because we had no idea who "Harrison Wells" was or what he was planning, whereas we already kind of know where Caitlin is heading; it's also because Panabaker isn't half as good at acting as Cavanagh. Like, they could still do stingers with him just klutzing around the lab, and they would be better than the Killer Frost stuff.

Said he was in the army for 4 years? Bitch that was the DeathEaters.

I feel like this plot line's drama doesn't make any sense. On Arrow
the drama between Ragman and Felicity was dealt with a surprisingly quick and easy manner.
I'm mean most fans of this show will be the first to tell you that
Hmm.
The guy that picked that Flash moment clearly isn't smart either.
Hmm.
Yeah the Caitlyn ice power secret is pretty much the most unnecessary lie told across all 4 shows so far. Like the secret isn't "protecting" anyone like all the heroes seem to think they do but she'll only benefit by telling her team about it like Cisco. Only way this could get interesting is if her powers are affecting her mental state over time.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
As a British person, Julian's one of my favourite characters this season. Some nice development toward the end of the episode there. Felton's a good actor.

With HR being basically useless, what do you think the odds are that Draco joins team Flash?
That is, if he doesn't turn out to be Alchemy or Savitar ...

I dig what's going on with Julian. I hope they don't make him into an antagonist. He had a pretty nice little character moment in the newest episode.
