Eobard particularly loves to reveal the fact that Eddie will even manage to lose Iris to Barry in the end, a splinter that's sure to twist its way through the captured cop's mind. Eobard is proud to come from such a distinguished family in the future, a family whose only non-noteworthy name on the tree is Eddie Thawne himself. (How should we refer to him from now on? People on the show still say Wells, though I'm partial to Eobard.) Not only does he love climbing up and down that ladder of his (Where are they, anyway?), he loves torturing his ancestor Eddie even more. Hey, she already managed to get through to Barry when he was all shell-shocked and about to get run over by a train, so that has to count for something.ДЄnd then there's Dr. Wells is The Man in Yellow, has kidnapped Eddie, and had previously killed Mason Bridge), perhaps she'll be a bit more integral to the weekly escapades. Now that she's up to speed on all the goings on (which also includes the facts that Dr. The more important part of this story is Iris' inclusion into Team Flash. When a familiar villain returns to terrorize Central City, Ralph must rise up to defend the innocent while Barry is detained by his. Eiling may serve as a potential ally against Wells and his Legion of Zoom, even if he is a slimeball. It seems that General Eiling and Iris have joined the 'I Know Barry Allen Is The Flash' club, which all seems to work out for the best in the end. Now, onto some other interesting bits from tonight's hour.

The truly terrifying aspect of Grodd is that he nearly bested our hero, and he's just getting started. His telepathic blasts of pure fear, conjured up by his memories of torture at the hands of Eiling, managed to both subdueВ The Flash temporarily and to win some sympathy from the audience. And while his imposing presence was enough to put the fear of Grodd into anyone (including poor Joe, who's terrified of even 'regular gorillas'), his psychic powers were even more impressive. Months later he awakens with the power of super speed, granting him the ability to move through Central City like an unseen guardian angel. The visual effects for the massive gorilla were better than they had any right to be, even if they suffered a little bit in direct light or slow-motion action sequences. After a particle accelerator causes a freak storm, CSI Investigator Barry Allen is struck by lightning and falls into a coma. While I welcome you to share your reaction in the comments below, I was very pleased with how The Flash presented one of its title hero's greatest adversaries. I'm sure we'll see more of their villainous team-ups in episodes and seasons to come. Wells/Eobard Thawne/Reverse-Flash is the mind behindВ the mind of Grodd.

It gets even more meta when we realize that Dr. It would have been easyВ to set Grodd up as the 'Villain of the Week' like most of the episodes have done this season, but it was a far cleverer tactic to use Grodd as the mind behind General Eiling's string of high-powered robbery attempts. Grodd has been teased in name and in shadowy reveals all season, but the abused animal of General Eiling's military experiments has finally been unleashed.
