What's really great about Arrow and The Flash is that just like on nights like this, characters can cross over to the other show and it wont feel out of place. And I'm glad that these shows aren't sharing a universe with the films. It would significantly limit the shows power of storytelling which is what Arrow and The Flash are best at. Onto tonight's show, Felicity was the major highlight and brought out the best in each of the main characters.
We all love Felicity from Arrow along with the quirkiness that comes with her, and to see her once again connect with Barry was great. I love that she still had a significant amount of sexual innuendos just as she does with Oliver. I also completely buy into them both being friend zoned by Iris and Oliver and acknowledging how right they are for each other. Their kiss at the end was bittersweet but may be all we get with them for quite awhile.
Captain Cold was a welcome addition to Flash' rogues gallery, and although I don't know how fond I am of the actor playing him, I know there will be more to come from his character. The West family side story was forgettable especially considering how predictable it was, but in the long run it was necessary. I'm still not sold on Eddie Thawne being reverse flash but they are doing a good job of making us believe he's a good guy before pulling the classic CW bait and switch.
Back at STAR labs Cisco is haunted by the fact that he was the reason for Captain Cold's gun being stolen. If was the first glimpse into how menacing Wells can be to Cisco and Caitlyn and also into Barry failing to save a life for the first time. It was just another great thing that this episode had to offer. The character development has significantly improved over just the course of 4 episodes.
