User blog:Konstant888/The Flash 4x19 "Fury Rogue" - Review

I honestly didn't expect this episode to be this good. I am so happy that this wasn't just some throwaway episode, because after last week's spectacular "Lese Yourself", you should follow with something great. BTW - spoilers.

The most important takeaway for me from this episode was that they didn't treat Ralph Dibny's death lightly. Barry was great this episode. Grant Gustin gave such an amazing performance this episode. I love that man so much. God bless 'im. He should play the role forever. It was gut-renching when he cried in that scene with that Dr. Winkle. And Leo's interactions with Barry were great. Wentworth Miller belongs on this show, and so does Leonard Snart. And even though Leo is not as good as Captain Cold, I like him a lot. They really gave the character a proper goodbye.

The other very important thing this episode was DeVoe. Now that Neil Sandilans is back in the role I thing that he will be an amating villain for the rest of the season. Marlize was just trying to get his attention, spend time with him. I didn't see where that was going until that scene where she told him that he doesn't understand how emotions work and doesn't account for them. He did the same with Barry, not regarding his emotions, and that let to his failure, so what Marlize told him made a lot of sense and both actors gave great performances.

Thirdly, Harry and Cisco had a sideplot this episode and it was good too. I really enjoy Harry's storyline. He was great last episode and he is great in this one. The fact that he is losing his inteligence makes for great character development. And I always love his scenes with Cisco, so that makes this even better. These two really care for each other, even though they show it in interesting ways, and that makes their interactions so perfect. The actors also contribute to that.

Some other quick notes. It was nice that Caitlyn missed Killer Frost. I like that she is getting more attention and I wonder how she will "get her out". Black Siren-X was a fun idea. It is sorta a crossover with "Arrow", even though it is really not. It makes the universe feel more expanded. It did however make me regret that Black Siren on "Arrow" isn't as powerful as she should be. I love seeing DeVoe use all of his powers. It provides for some fun action. And it was great that in this episode Barry finaly took the role of team leader in Team Flash. He even said "I need to be leading my team!" (or something lie that). That is what he should be.

So overall, I really enjoyed this episode. I love how they handled Ralph's dead and having Citizen Cold back. It is not the best episode of the season, but it is up there with "Lose Youself", "Enter Flashtime" and "The Trial of the Flash".
