This was a great first episode. My major problem with it is the completely underwhelming way they introduced the new season villain. However, its episode 1, so I'm not judging them until we get more. The chemistry between Barry and Nora is fantastic and majority of the characters got some good dialogue. The line that Iris says about her and Barry's lightning is how they can tell that she is their daughter was annoying, but aside from that and the new villain introduction, this episode was almost perfect. I really like Nora a lot as a character and the mystery of Barry's disappearance is also really intriguing. A couple call backs to s01/s02 also heavily benefits the episode to make us feel like the tone of this episode is like those two original seasons. Also, not that it matters that much, but Cisco not making that Flash suit is weird...
Already a massive jump in quality from one of the show's worst episodes ever made (the season 4 finale) to an episode that matches s01/s02's quality. I'm definitely satisfied and for the first time in a year, looking forward to the next episode.
Side Note: Also Ralph's comedic moments are fantastic.
