- TriviaThis episode marks the 3rd official appearance of Prison Break (2005) actors in The Flash with Wentworth Miller (Captain Cold) appearing in the episode 'Going Rogue', Robert Knepper (Clock King) appearing in the episode 'Power Outage' and now Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell (Heat Wave) appearing together in 'Revenge of The Rogues'. Prison Break (2005) actors are also known to have regular appearances in Arrow (2012) with Peter Stormare (Count Vertigo) appearing in 'The Calm'.
- GoofsFlash acts on Wells' plan to have Cold and Heat Wave cross streams to neutralize their weapons. While this makes for good theater, Flash could have much more easily used his speed to simply take their weapons away from them before they could react.
- Quotes
Dr. Harrison Wells: So, potentially, these two guns could cancel each other out.
Cisco Ramon: Yeah, but to do that, you'd have to make them cross streams.
Barry Allen: You mean like Ghostbusters?
Cisco Ramon: That film is surprisingly scientifically accurate.
Dr. Harrison Wells: And really quite funny.

Featured review
The Fastest Man Alive, with a little bit of Frost and Fire
The Flash returns with "Revenge of the Rogues" after a mid-season break, however Captain Cold also makes a return to Central City with a new friend who is named Heat Wave that now has the flamethrower for a weapon. But does Frost and Fire make up for a great episode?
The whole cast does a great job on doing their part to make this show entertaining and worthwhile while also returning the light-hearted feel of the whole show. Grant Gustin remains intact and joyful to watch as The Flash, Dr. Wells also remain to be mysterious and quite menacing, and the supporting cast such as Cisco, Caitlin, Iris and Detective Joe are still great in each of their respective roles. I was rather looking forward to the return of Captain Cold and the introduction of Heat Wave, however they felt like ordinary and mediocre villains with cheesy and clichéd dialogue throughout the episode. The episode is also filled with clichés that sometimes make you want to yawn or skip the scene sometimes because it just flat out becomes predictable on what happens next. The visuals, which I was rather worried of because it might've loss its quality, also remained intact and stunning just like the previous episodes. The action didn't lose it's way and were still entertaining to watch. The Iris and Barry (which I am now calling) forced relationship makes a return which I now treated as a hint that you could now stand up to get a drink or refill your snack. Towards the end of the episode, I hope it was a sign that the Iris and Barry relationship would finally end because if it makes a return then it will just be super annoying already.
Overall, a mediocre episode but still entertaining nonetheless if you want to pass the time. +Cast performance, -Mediocre and Clichéd villains, -Predictable episode, +Visuals, +Action, -Iris and Barry forced relationship, +That end credits scene which teases a new character to watch out for.
Verdict: 7.4/10
