There will be great Baricity moments—not that Felicity is going to leave Oliver for Barry, but scenes between Grant and Emily Bett Rickards are always magical. They have such great chemistry.

That Barry’s obvious importance isn’t annoying is mainly thanks to Grant Gustin’s performance. Simply put, the guy is immediately likeable. Akin to Emily Bett Rickards’ charming awkwardness, Gustin tempers the ticks and ineptitudes enough to keep Barry grounded and not the caricature he could easily be played as.

That’s helped by the other big, different-feeling thing that goes on in this episode: it’s overshadowed by the anvil-dropping at the introduction of Barry Allen. And again, it’s hard to decide what to make of all this. On one hand, this episode screams backdoor pilot, with the way Barry so quickly hijacks the screentime and even gets his own musical motif. But then, that is exactly what it is, and there’s no big secret about it. So while in the narrative scheme of things Barry’s introduction is kind of awkward in how important he immediately is, the show can’t really be blamed for milking the potential. Barry will be the first fully-powered superhero that we know of in this universe, so it’s going to be a big deal.
