The Flash is back after five long months, but it's like it never left.<br />Despite all the doom and gloom that Barry is struggling with in "The Man Who Saved Central City," he is still unequivocally the Flash, and the show is undeniably a happy, shiny comic book show.<br />The season 2 premiere ran the gamut of comic book winks, joyful optimism for the heroism of the Flash itself and plenty of puppy-dog acting from Grant Gustin, who was just a pleasure to watch.<br />Because when Barry cries, we cry.<br />And I might have teared up once or twice in this episode.<br />Welcome back Flash.<br />Looking forward to the future and even more comic book insanity.
