This has not been a good episode. The season is decreasing post-crisis intensity.
dami300113 February 2020
Crisis has been a huge event for the series. It's hard to keep interest after something so big. Now the minor stories take too much prominence. I feel that a great villain is missing. The plot is not as interesting as what I saw so far. I love this show, I hope that with the next episode the plot will raise its level.

What is this?
gameprinez12 February 2020
This is no longer a sci-fi superhero show.It has become a horrible show about love and that crap which I have nothing against but this show is not supposed to be that,it is supposed to be about the flash which is why I'm mad because every episode it's steering away from the flash.

The Iris West & West Allen soap opera show
jessieban13 February 2020
This episode was one of the worst episodes of the series. Absolutely terrible! Barry has become a side character, we hardly see Caitlin anymore, Cisco is constantly missing episodes...there is like no original team flash content. We are just getting piles and piles of Iris storyline and West Allen soap opera lovey dovey drama. This is a superhero show for goodness sake! The way they are writing it has become embarrassing! You might as well rename it to the "Iris West and company" show. Go back to season 1 and 2 and then compare it to now...it's like you are watching a different show. They are destroying it.

Running low on money?
ethananthonyroberts12 February 2020
These past two episodes make it too obvious that the show spent most of its money on crisis, which I'm happy they did, but it would be nice to have some better writing to make up for the lack of effects, characters and general superhero-ing

I don't care...
linussundvall-0522115 February 2020
This episode had good moments for the over-arching story of the second half. The good story line was with Iris and Barry, while there was a terrible filler storyline with the worst villain of the show - Amunet Black, and a not so good Goldface too. This story was cringe and awful, so awful it was funny. And i let it slide just because it was a filler, fun valenties episode. I take it for what it is. And let the real story of the season come this next episode.

So what can i say? It was bad other than the Iris storyline! People think she gets to much screentime, but people also think she gets too bad storylines and to little things to do. Now that she finally has a good reporter arc that ties in with Black Hole, people are angry that she gets too much screentime instead.

I think the storyline Iris is given this season is the best she has ever had on the show! She's finally not the leader of team flash or anything. But yeah, this episode was bad, but i don't care! Because this is just a filler valentines episode, i will wait for the REAL story to come. 6.6/10.

Worst Episode Ever
westbeng12 February 2020
I can't say anything positive about this episode of the once great series. Awful plot, dreadful accent from Katee Sackhoff returns to haunt us. I really hope whoever wrote this never geys to work again......

Not Iris
rhuitt-2523912 February 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This episode was very off. But I enjoyed it nonetheless. That wasn't Iris. Which makes sense because she was replaced by something else. The real Iris was trapped. What ever switched with her has plans for Barry and I can't wait to see what happens.

I know what they are trying to do but..
chubbysupreme12 February 2020
So a valentine episode. Does this count as a filler?. I can see this is episode is gonna be worst episode of this season judging from the episode's sypnosis. I mean who the two "love" storyline is equally fine coz its valentine but they overdid it.

Even though this episode is somehow cringe i still they it didn't affect the main story, and my opinion on how consistent s6 storyline is.

I don't hav any idea why ppl dislike last week episode. Like iris "doing" reporting stuff and not dick-riding in star lab. Like isn't this what you want?. And barry "grieving" with his best friend's best friend is what? Boring? Ppl be ranting tf coz iris got longer screentime, and grant was filming crisis when they filmed this episode. So it was not intentional, even it was the episode itself is still great.

Ep 13 "Grodd friended me". Its a grodd episode so i'm hyped ANNNDDDD Ep 14 is where kid flash is gonna returnn!!. The rumour said the flash and kid flash is gonna fight one of the past speedsters. Then they went on break.

Conclusion : the weakest episode of the season so far 7.1/10

The Trash
juanmatlv12 February 2020
This episode was horrible... I mean, the scenes with amunet and the other guy were very cringed. And what about the stupid forced romance between Allegra and the other?? I think no one care about this hahahaah this episode has been a terrible joke... One of the worst episodes of the flash for sure. It's a pity because last week episode was interesting with all the plot about blackhole. Anyway, I'm not very worried because of the 3 chapter which are still for coming, they seem to be interesting, specially the 6x14. The only thing salvageable in this chapter would be the Nash vision of Harry wells, and Iris trapped on the mirror. The rest, as I said before, was trash.

Worst episode of series.
kirk_reed12 February 2020
I have seen every episode of Flash and this episode has no value other than first minute and last minute. Worst episode of series. Iris episode.

The Iris West show, no longer The Flash
jeffvancreveld12 February 2020
The show runners seems to care more about the secondary characters than the characters with his name on the title! I never hated Iris, but I watch the flash to watch the flash crazy enough right? The season started out so good, but the last two episodes have almost made me lose interest in my once favorite show.

Iris steps into the spotlight!
RahulM00712 February 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This episode of the Flash titled "Love is a Battlefield" is quite an Iris centric episode and that's not necessarily a bad thing. I thoroughly enjoyed how the Flash writers are handling the Iris character this season. Iris now shares more resemblance to the Iris in the comic books. While I enjoyed Iris taking centre stage this episode, it still did not salvage the rest of the episode.

Amunet Black and Goldface returned in this Valentines Day themed episode and were extremely mundane villains. It is safe to say that these two characters are the worst villains in the show's history. They are not fleshed out and their motivation and rivalry with Team Flash is almost non existent.

Allegra's storyline in this episode was uneventful, but still enjoyable to watch. Killer Frost being a sort of sage to Allegra and channeling her inner Caitlin Snow was quite neat and showcases how far this character has gotten. When Allegra was first introduced in episode 2, I could not care less about her, but my feelings have changed throughout these nine episodes and I have grown quite fond of her. She would be a great new addition to Team Flash, even though she found her place on Team Citizen.

Ralph Dibny's absence was quite noticeable in this episode. Luckily, he will return for the first time since Crisis in episode 12 fittingly titled "A Girl Named Sue."

The ending revealed that the real Iris is trapped inside a mirror. This was quite predictable as in this episode Iris behaved differently. It was even shown in the last scene in episode 10 that she was taken over by Mirror Master.

To conclude, this was purely a Valentines Day themed filler episode. While I disliked the two villains of the week, this episode was still enjoyable and fun. I loved how Barry mocked Iris's cooking in the opening scene and him saying the codeword "Banana" to Iris multiple times was hilarious. I am quite enthused to see Sue Deardon on screen for the first time. Will Ralph propose to her at the end of this season?

Fake Iris

Warning: Spoilers
Haven't checked, but i guess that if nobody noticed Faux-iris, that means the actress playing really is perfect, and has perfect face symetry that noone else noticed the difference between the 2.

Horriblish?
tommygun-3743812 February 2020

Valentines episode was eh, the whole show tried to show a feminist side of flash which has been most of this post crisis but the end was nice. I really thought they disregarded the whole end of last episode.

Yo guys...this one actually is not that bad
garabedian12313 February 2020
I can't tell you how much i was dreading another valentines day episode. But there was no singing, no Cisco and it was pretty darn funny. I was actually very surprised. But...what was with the UNIVERSE BREAKING GLITCH!!!...Lol..this episode was good but the writers of this episode did not know anything about the crossover..and that is hilarious. A bottle of alcohol from the other wells...That never existed..from a universe that never existed...mind explaining that one to me?

Dead show???
Quakquak12 February 2020
THis episode single handly proves how bad the flash series is and guess what we have another iris show in the next episode. They should probably end the series in this season just to not make the flash even worse. Another horrible episode. The people who rate this episode or this season (except the last temptation of barry allen part 1) 10/10 is probably a die hard flash fan or they have never watched a good tv show in his/her life.

A bad filler episode
moalawami12 February 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The main story line was only at the first few seconds and the last few seconds of the episode. The theme was all about Valentine's day and love. I have nothing against that theme but I don't expect it when I'm watching the flash. It was very out of character and felt weird for the most part.

Skip this Mess
benjermun13 February 2020
If you compare this to last year's Valentine's day episode then you will be sorely disappointed. The episode just beats you down with the idea that Iris is some badass power babe that leads two teams but in reality she's just a pouty little child who gets into more trouble than actually helping. It's possible the reason for this forced Iris rise could be a lack of funds from after Crisis but if that's the case then they should have put this show on a slight hiatus instead of giving us this pointless and downright agonizing episode. If you are a die hard fan and just want to know plot points then just watch the last three minutes, other than that there's no need to watch this overly dreadful episode.

(Also Iris coining the "Team" names needs to stop, it's really dumb and really bad)

Quite possibly the worse episode of the series
johncarson-4405720 February 2020
This is the worse episode of the series so far.. This is partly due to 2 things:

1) The Villain - Amunet Black and Gold Face, worse duo villains in this series. This is mainly due to Amunet Black, her accent and characterization is the worse. Combine this with the villain plot (Amunet and Gold Face in a lovers quarrel), and you get something quite terrible.

2) Flash Team Relationships - This mainly has to do with Iris and Barry, but other relationship mess was quite stupid, too. There really is not reason for Iris and barry to be fighting. It just seems like the writers inserted an artificial story line in to create conflict on V-Day. This adds another knock on Iris in a long time of obnoxious character conflicts. I use to really like Iris. The CW writers have really destroyed her character, and the show by making her a focal point equal to Barry Allen on the show. In the comics, she was Barry's wife. There's no reason for her to be so prominent in the show, and I understand why people hate her so much.

I've never reviewed a show on IMDB, but this episode has prompted me to actually go on IMDB and review this stupid show. That is how bad it is.
