The Flash Season One: All Star Team Up

"I'll be bigger on this than I ever was on The Walking Dead!"

Felicity arrives in town with Ray to get help to improve his ATOM suit however they end up helping Team Flash when robotic specialist and computer genius Brie Larvan (Emily Kinney) AKA Bug Eyed Bandit unleashes hundreds of robotic bees to kill her former co - workers.
 

The the return of the ultimate duo - Ray and Cisco! Had to get that out of the way first because those two are so funny like when they where working on the suit or coming up with the villain name, they have got to work together more often. It was great seeing Felicity on Flash again because she was awesome the last two times and gave us some of her light hearted comedy (it was like she was back to her old self) and her showdown with Bug Eyed Bandit was epic and bringing Ray was a plus because these two really fit in the Flash show. We got to see Ray shine again in the ATOM suit but Felicity finally got herself a nemesis too with Bug Eyed Bandit who was a really great villain; I like that she is a computer match for Felicity and I liked her robot bees however I feel we barely got to know the character, heck her bees got more screen time than her. I hope she appears again to challenge Felicity in the Flash and Arrow because it is possible she is connected to HIVE with her whole bee theme. Plus I actually really liked Emily Kinney in this, she was better in this one Flash episode than she ever was in the Walking Dead, and I don't mind that they gender swapped the real Bug Eyed Bandit from the comics because he was never really a major villain anyway and I really liked the robotic bees because I always like seeing advanced technology in the Flash or the Arrow.




It's a bird, it's a plane, it's.......the ATOM!!

As for everything else I did really like how Barry found it hard to trust anyone because he does have a right but it was good seeing him struggling with it throughout the episode. In the end (with help from Felicity) he decided to trust Cisco and Caitlin and his theory is even being confirmed by Cisco who remembers the alternate timeline. I don't know how he can but maybe it has something to do with the fact he was the only one killed in it, maybe? Finally it was good having a part of the episode with Eddie dealing with his problem because he usually takes a back seat and him having these problems with Iris and blaming Barry and Joe for it might turn him into a villain...maybe. However I really didn't like that Iris had to be a bitch the whole episode; I do want her to finally be told Barry's secret but I found her attitude towards Eddie to be annoying and she made that dinner scene just plain awkward when it could have been a pleasant and funny moment. I do like her character but they just make her damn unlikable and they don't focus on her investigating The Flash or S.T.A.R labs nearly enough when it's really is in the end the only good storyline she has had so far.

I'm not that fond of bees myself so you have my sympathies Flash 

Overall a very decent episode that was obviously filler but is such good filler! Thought I'd say I am going to be really busy the next couple of weeks so my uploads may be late.

SCORE: 7/10

Highlights: Two computer experts face off
                      Felicity and Ray worked so well in this episode
                      Eddie and Barry subplots

Let - Downs: Not enough Bug Eyed Bandit
                      Didn't like Iris that much in this and she was a bit unfair to Eddie
