4/5

It took way too many episodes to get the plot into high gear, but Rupture has just the right amount of character development, action, and heart - all of the things I want to see when I watch The Flash.

If this week's episode of The Flash proved anything, it's that the show can give Arrow a run for its money in the darkness department.
