This isn't to say darkness is a bad direction to explore, but it's just not the show's color, you know?

As we pick up six months later, the team has been reorganized, with Iris taking on a strong leadership role. This is the first positive change of the new season.

I love all of the geeky references! The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Stan Lee... it was great!

I was most pleased with the character development that Iris was given during this episode and the fact that the Flash writers are finally paying attention to her.

9/10

It's easy to tell that there was a sense of rejuvenation and revitalized energy surrounding everything. The plot wasn't dark, but the emotions ran high, and were honestly the best parts of the episode.

This was an incredibly strong season premiere. It had humor and a lot of heart with lighter emotional moments.
