Critics Consensus

"The Death of Vibe" effectively teases out the threat posed by the villainous Cicada and introduces a fun new persona for Tom Cavanaugh to play, although viewers' mileage with the more relaxed pace may vary.

In the wake of their fight with Cicada, Team Flash decides to announce Vibe is dead, which means Cisco will have to find another way to be a hero. I'm interested in seeing where this goes.

Even though Cicada can apparently fly, this villain reveal formula is getting old.

If no season of The Flash is truly underway until it has gotten its Harrison Wells, then "The Death Of Vibe" marks the real beginning of season five.

3.5/5

The Death of Vibe sports a dramatically over the top title, but features a story that's surprisingly grounded.

9/10

A very good entertaining episode and I loved the pacing of all of the storylines. It didn't feel overwhelmed and even with the 'Death of Vibe' which is arguable if that character really is central to the show (Cisco is) so we'll see.

Nora/XS gets her heroic moment, and Cicada's powers take a new...leap...in a satisfying episode for any Flash fan.
