The Trap Ratings & Reviews
USA Today
Hoai-Tran Bui
"The Trap" felt like that moment right when the doors are blown off your flying house. Stuff. Went. Down.
TV.com
Noel Kirkpatrick
"The Trap" gave Cavanagh a chance to stretch himself further... It was all very good.
SFX Magazine
Dave Golder
It's a truly great episode. Once again the show embraces its intrinsic silliness and turns it to its advantage. It's turned suspension of disbelief into high art.
CBR
Marc Buxton
"The Trap" is nearly flawless. Maybe the most impressive aspect is the way it weaves time travel seamlessly into the narrative.
Digital Spy
Morgan Jeffery
This is the most bonkers episode yet... Amidst all this madness, The Flash still finds room for a little fun - just as well, as the show wouldn't function half as well without its sense of humour.
HitFix
Alan Sepinwall
Redid a lot of what originally happened in "Out of Time," and was emotionally satisfying in both those ways and the areas where the story continued to deviate.
TV Line
Matt Webb Mitovich
Well, wasn't that a ton of fun? Episodes like this I privately enjoy watching in advance at the office, because of the spontaneous bursts of laughter I unleash on those within earshot
TV Fanatic
Carissa Pavlica
Essentially, "The Trap," started setting right some of the things that Barry changed in ["Out of Time"], but it wasn't as good of an episode. That's not a bad thing because "Out of Time" was a little too good for it's own sake.
Screen Rant
Andrew Dyce
Likely not the perfect time to add a romantic subplot... Some would have preferred the dynamic left out of this episode, but the ease with which it's threaded through the larger plot recalls earlier episodes that managed the task just as deftly.
ScreenCrush
Ryan McGee
Everything that's good about "The Trap" is right there on the surface. There are no metaphors, similes, or subtext to the episode. It's pure plot, deployed in expert fashion.
Paste Magazine
Eric Walters
In "The Trap," we finally get a glimpse at the cards the writers have been tightly clutching to their chest for 19 episodes, and the early returns are outstanding.
Nerdist
Joseph McCabe
Even for a series as fast-paced as this one, "The Trap" offers a season's worth of plot twists and revelations.
Lyles' Movie Files
Jeffrey Lyles
"The Trap" played out exactly like it should have as all season Team Flash has been several steps behind Wells and now that his secret is out, Harrison Wells will prove even more dangerous.
io9.com
Rob Bricken
The conflict in Wells is so clear, so palpable, that Cavanaugh sells it completely - no minor task when he's playing a character a resolutely comic book-y as the Reverse Flash.
IGN Movies
Jesse Schedeen
"The Trap" offered a great mix of twists and drama, with a lot oft he episode hinging on Dr. Wells and his mysterious goals
Entertainment Weekly
Chancellor Agard
"The Trap" was yet another showcase for how well Tom Cavanagh plays an evil mastermind.
Den of Geek
Mike Cecchini
"The Trap" was just such a well balanced episode. Even though the stakes could basically no longer be higher, it still managed to find time for lighter moments.
Collider
Dave Trumbore
A great episode that brought many of the season's storylines to a satisfying conclusion while opening up lots of potential...
Birth.Movies.Death.
Meredith Borders
"The Trap" was an incredibly tense episode, and the stakes are now stratosphere-high.
AV Club
Scott Von Doviak
After a couple of episodes where the narrative engine stalled out, "The Trap" revs the show back up to top speed as we approach the season's finish line.
