If anything could revitalize an interest in CW's The Flash it's a giant, evil, telepathic gorilla. After last week's battle with Zoom, Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) is wheelchair bound after a spinal injury that would have permanently crippled any regular human being. Eerily reminiscent of Barry's mentor from season one, Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh), Barry finds himself in a state of helplessness and self-loathing after being publicly defeated by the earth-jumping Zoom.

They elect to use one of the 52 dimensional fissures scattered across Central City to send Grodd through to a place where Harrison says Grodd will be sent to a place "as close to home as he'll ever get." My comic book senses started to tingle when he explained that on Earth-2 there was a refuge for apes who had been experimented on. Barry's father (John Wesley Shipp) lifts Barry's spirits and The Flash speeds into action to push Grodd through the rift, my wildest fantasies came true as we see Grodd moving through a jungle and comes across the legendary comic book city of hyper-intelligent apes: Gorilla City. The Flash continues to surprise and delight fans of the series and comic book and I can't wait to see where they take us
