Maybe we never get to feel their emotions in the same way we feel the ones from Barry and Harrison Wells, but we get to see at less something.

In this season we alredy had 4 villains, the 4 villains had been basic, cartoony and foolish:

-Atom Smasher dont had any emotional or even background reasons to do what he do, he could call the Flash help, but for some reason he didnt do it.

-Sand Demon, maybe he had some background with Jay Garrick, but the character never had any real motivation, was only a clone of Atom Smasher and even worst for me he is the kind of person that call for help in some sense, but is too arrogant and wants to be in control, too basic.

-Lewis Snart, in the beginning of this series Leonard Snart was a grounded and cold criminal, that even from the beginning was a great villain, with the cold gun he was awesome, but his dad was an old cop, he never needed to put bombs in the necks of the people, that is too cartoony and silly, he should have been the kind of person that can control with fear and emotions the people, using guns and easy things, not bombs.

-Tokamak, why? This villain could had been good too in some sense, but it was again another villain for a reason and for a method, he was use to make strong the link between Jax Jackson and Dr. Stein and to make also the first want to become Firestorm, nothing more. So is sad, that this villain only works through anger and without any real emotion and motivations behind the rejection.

-Dr. Light, I know i am getting forward but this villains looks like another villain of the week with underdevelopment and that will be use for a method, i dont expect a lot more than real background from Earth-2 and Jay Garrick. What was Kyle Nimbus' sympathetic backstory? Does being killed for being a serial killer count as a good reason to keep on killing people?

I thought it was a pretty good episode. I like the new Firestorm, the ending with King Shark and Harrison Wells was amazing, and Patty is far better then Iris ever was as a love interest, but the villain wasn't that good.
