9. How Does Captain Cold Become A Legend?
If there was a problem with this episode, it's that Captain Cold didn't get anywhere near enough screentime. Admittedly there can never be too much Captain Cold in The Flash, but this felt we were getting particularly short-changed. They had to get him out of prison so he can go off to Legends of Tomorrow, but it would've been nice to see him stick around a bit longer, and actually help the Flash, thus getting closer to being something of a hero (which he's not, as he says here and in the Legends promo). So, if he's ostensibly not a hero, but not a villain either, how exactly does he join up with the Legends of Tomorrow? That's going to be interesting to see play out, but surely we're not done with him on The Flash either (I hope not, anyway!).
