The Flash Season 5: Episode 3 "The Death of Vibe"

[Web-Head]

Following Cicada's attack on the Flash, Nora comes up with a plan that puts a member of the team in danger.

 

[NotNickFury]

Nora mentioned "the League." Is that the first actual direct nod to a Justice League of sorts? I know Gideon almost mentioned the group when she talked about Barry as a founding member of a group way back when, but I think that might be the closest we've gotten to a nod to the League.

 

[Primal Slayer]

THe Flash Museum! The League! I love that they question "Supergirl cant catch this guy but what about Green Arrow?"

Back to the good ol'Wells......seasons come and go. People come and die...Wells are forever.

 

[Web-Head]

Getting a little tired of all these different Wells. I liked Harry, HR and "Thawne" Wells but I don't need Sherlock

 

[Primal Slayer]

Of course...he knows everything. Because he's a Wells.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Does Barry own Starlabs? And paying a doppelganger to stick around for a couple of months.....once again this would be good for Iris to delve into and they could even put Ralph on the job with her.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Yeah this Wells is already annoying. No one needs a know it all.

Really? Now Sherlock Wells just jumps worlds in a flash? Where is Gypsy?

 

[zmystico]

I'm so done with all the "Dr. Wells" doppelgangers... it was cool the first couple of times, but now, it's just tired and overdone.

 

[Herolee10]

Really? Now Sherlock Wells just jumps worlds in a flash? Where is Gypsy?

I think it's only illegal for people originating from Gypsy's Earth to breach onto different Earth's. So as long as Sherlock Wells isn't from her Earth, then I don't think she cares about him.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Joe there is a time to call bluffs and then there is a time to call bluffs.

Of course Cisco happens to be the first one on the scene....

You're probably right.

Yeah this is just lame.

...How did XS speed keep working? If it were that easy to just throw lightning bolts at him...think next time Barry.

So Cascida runs because he got injured? How did Cisco bandage up and change clothes during all of this?

I didnt expect Cisco to die but get seriously injured besides his hands. Get bloodied up all over..

 

[NotNickFury]

Perhaps in all the times they've crossed paths, Oliver should've taught Barry some hand-to-hand combat in case Barry ever finds himself without his speed.

 

[Web-Head]

Pretty intense episode but something felt a little off in this one, especially towards the beginning.

Cicada has been solid so far, a little frightening.

I think we all knew Cisco wasn't going to die but it played out well.

Did something happen to Jesse? Joe has pretty much been sitting in every episode and he didn't make the trip to SDCC with the rest of the cast.

So this Cicada isn't David Hirsch? Kind of interesting, I guess.

 

[terry78]

Chris Klein?

 

[legendkillin]

I really hope this Wells does not stay. They have gone into the quirky Wells that should not be in more than one ep.

Agreed. At first it seemed like he was going to be a one off but apparently not

 

[Ninjablade]

Episode was okay. Sick of all the different types of Wells every season. Liked how Ralph was doing basic superhero business on top of being a detective.

This show has lost all grasps on how time travel works. They could have easily made it that Cicada's identity is different because he's on a different earth than all the ones this Wells has been to. Making it because of Nora interfering with destroying the satellite makes no sense at all given what we know of the villain so far.

Time Travel really isnt a thing so it doesnt really have a specific way that it works. Though it is weird that Nora changing an event would lead to Cicada turning into someone else unless say the guy was possessed.

 

[Mister J]

I wanted the super-keen sleuth they called in to be Detective Chimp. Badly.

I hope it's possession, because that's the only way it would make any sort of sense. As of now, we know that these first 3 episodes and the season finale of last season take place within the span of about a week, with Cicada's first attack and the satellite incident being only a day apart. That's an awfully short time to discover one's powers/master them, and decide to go on a killing spree of meta-humans.

I can see if he becomes cicada younger but a whole new guy becomes cicada doesnt make any sense. By that rule couldnt another character have become the flash instead of barry?

A simple different earth different cicada would have been easily explained and cleaner.

Caitlyns side story is quickly becoming the weakest part of this season so far. I just dont find her dad still being alive that intteresting

 

[WhoMani]

I have a feeling that "The league" Nora mentioned will be the heroes that will be in this years crossover. I like the idea of the Cicada but the fact that his identity has changed because of Nora's interference with the timeline was a little silly for me.

This episode was fine. I had a feeling that Nora knew what she doing when she came back to the past and that she's working with someone who has a nefarious motive of their own. I have seen others speculate that the Reverse Flash (perhaps under a false face) is one that persuaded her to change the past but we shall wait and see.

I like this Sherlock Wells but I'm kinda tired of having a different Wells in each seasons of the Flash. However Tom Cavanagh made it work and its good to see him back.

It's great that Caitlin is given something to do and I like her friendship with Ralph but I didn't care for the mystery of her father.

Jesse L. Martin has sat down in pretty much all of his scene. I hope the guy is alright.

Seems like cut and paste from Arrow with Felicity finding her dad.

 

[Pennywise]

I’m wondering who could have convinced Nora to time travel if Sherloque’s theory was correct?
