Ran up a building and across water.  Now he just needs to vibrate through something.  Also: More Grodd!

I will probably get the raspberry for it, but I would of preferred if they hadn't done the "run up the wall" bit.

Over water, yes.  No problems with that.  Running up the side of a building is just flat out impossible using

just speed.  Without gravity (or really sticky shoes), the first time he took a step he would no longer be in

contact with the side of the building and fall.  Yes, I know the comic book Barry Allen could do it [although

Wally as the Flash couldn't], but the comic books even state the Barry Allen wasn't really human anymore;

that he was basically condensed lightning and didn't have to obey any of the laws of physics.

Personally, I would of preferred if they had gone the route of him running up 20 flights of stairs in the blink of

an eye instead.


On the other hand ...  GRODD !

Yes, but that's not cool... plus, he did that to show off to Felicity already, so that's booooooriiiing now :P

Practitioners of parkour run short distances up walls all the time.  Surely they would be able to make further trips with a few hundred times the acceleration.
When you insult someone by calling them a "pig" or a "dog" you aren't maligning pigs and dogs everywhere.  The same is true of any term used as an insult.

Physics here! http://www.wired.com/2012/07/can-you-run-up-a-wall/

Turns out you need the force of your foot pushing off the wall to create friction to prevent your feet slipping down. Most people can get only a few steps up a wall, but I'd be willing to bet that the Flash could get as many as he wanted because he can move his feet fast enough back to the wall to create the friction needed to move him up the wall.

Best joke of the episode was Catlin saying "What were you thinking?" to Cisco while holding a boomerang as they were testing Bette's ability of turning objects into bombs and tossing them.  This was going on in the background as Barry was talking to Bette.

I liked that, but I was more amused by the comment about another freak cutting loose in Central City - must be Tuesday.  Is that what they call 'hanging a lampshade'?

... What if Captain Boomerang is just a giant joke making fun of Batman's sharp, pointy, and in real life probably potentially lethal Batarangs?

Maybe it wasn't a returning boomerang?

Nice episode, but the end was the best part 8)

So, now he's up above the speed of sound.  If this pace keeps going there won't be any windows left in Central City and there won't be anyone who can oppose him when he moves at the speed of light. :) He better learn to vibrate his whole body so he can phase.

That said, the punch was awesome!

Tonight's episode was pretty good. Lots of name dropping too. Hopefully not all the people listed were actually deceased.

"Intake 52"

Didn't much care for last week's episode though, aside from the supersonic punch.

Thought they did the first of the Arrow-Flash crossovers pretty well. :D

I liked the logo for it, with the Arrow's ...er, arrow through the Flash's name, instead of the lightning streak.

Apparently the last Arrow episode with Cupid had a special title card with his arrow replaced with her heart shaped one.

Yup.  That made me laugh.
