Here are the promo pics for ep 1x09:

Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) finds Ronnie (Robbie Amell)..........never heard of ronnie lol

AMANDA PAYS RETURNS TO THE FLASH.......... that is cool , I know she was the woman barry was sweet on in 90's flash, not sure if she was iris or not.

The showrunners here like to cast actors from previous flash, unlike ol JF who refused to cast anyone from t-1 ,2,3. TSCC would have been eve better had he cast some T-1 cast.

IN the old flash the actor who played mirror master was the dad of "Laurel" on arrow.
And at some point she will be in a new Flash episode.

MY fav villain though was the trickster played by mark Hamill who did a great job in the role.
Maybe mark will have a role in this show at some point.

Amanda was a babe back in the 80's not sure what she will look like now.

Haven't you seen Flash episode 1x03? There were flashbacks to what happened with Ronnie ...

"... the painful night the particle accelerator exploded and killed Caitlin's (Danielle Panabaker) fiancé, Ronnie (guest star Robbie Amell). ..."

But so he's still alive?

He was the guy they showed at the end of the episode who caught on fire.

Well yeah I saw it but I dont remember all that happened in it  ! lol I knew he was killed in it but no body so....
Then they brought him up, and then showed  the guy on fire, so 2+2= ronnie.

@ tscc, banshee is back jan 6th are you going to watch it with me??
lol I dont remember much of last time, but they killed her dad, but will see it all in the recap.

Yeah, I think I will ...

That was a great episode! But how did Wells pull off being 2 people at the same time?

lol I was going to get you to explain the ending!
Well if he is really fast enough he could do both, or he had the suit automated??
that thing he put on the suit may automate it?
The trap was beaten due to him going inside the FF so then they lowered it allowing the suit to get out.
I guess the suit did not come out and get wells, wells just went in.
It was a one way deal on the FF.

The Iris barry stuff was well done, she doesnt know what to do now.

The fact that both a red and yellow flash was there the night barrys mom died is one I missed, but then I thought wells was a future red flash, then his suit is yellow !

10 1-10 20/Jan/15 Season 1, Episode 10
comes back in january little over a month so not bad.
With the great ratings, they should give it 2 extra eps.

I think time travel will come into play, I think the Future Barry is who took little Barry from the house.

Here's an interesting interview about Harrison Wells ( nothing spoilerish):

yeah with his tech stuff and the room he goes into I think wells is from the future.
Then you have to wonder why he is protective of barry, and I have a idea on that, maybe in the future flash either saves him,
 or is partly responsible for him having his powers. He needs barry to live and do something.

Why kill barrys mom?
 A lot of questions and that is good for the story.

Ratings for this ep were good and 4.66 is highest ever,  except the pilot 4.83  1.9
CW should buy 2 more episodes.

The Flash (8-9:02PM)

1.5/5
