The Flash: Monster (2016)
Season 3, Episode 5
8/10
Best ep of the season so far
1 November 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Barry moving in with Cisco/Julian ratting out Barry to Singh = FUN! More of this would be good for the show.

The opening/ending StarLabs scenes v. the ones in between only highlights how shoehorned Iris/Wally are. HR's 1st scene went on way too long, Iris/Wally's obligatory/unnecessary lines bogged things down whereas the scenes when it was just nerd team flash bounced along.

Barry/Iris having lunch together was perfect. They were a couple who are at ease/comfortable in their relationship and with each other. Casual but still intimate without the teeny/cloying PDAs. They talked about Joe and Julian instead of themselves or staring stupidly into each other's eyes. Between Iris actually trying to get Joe to go out with Cecile and Barry offering to have a drink with Julian who had a really long day, they are finally behaving like adults. Hope this is the way it'll be going forward.

HR/Cisco is my favorite Wells/Cisco pairing. Caitlin finally gets a storyline and evidently she's going to be The Flash's Elsa. Let it go, Caitlin!

Best of all, because of Felton, we got all those great Barry/Julian scenes, SINGH!!! and more CCPD. Thank you, Felton, THANK YOU.

Unfortunately, stupidBarry is alive and well, needing team flash to tell him what to do with the rope.

Still. Lighter tone, CSIBarry, Julian, Singh: Score: 8.5
