teamcharlie posted:Are we even sure that DeVoe kept all his smart rear end in a top hat powers now that he's switched bodies into Dominic (or this new switch into Teela Brown for that matter)? I can't seem to recall seeing him open up his skull again to show his glowing brain after he changed bodies the first time, and he certainly doesn't seem to be showing any motor function deficiency. Maybe he solved a shitload of problems before changing bodies and hoped that would keep things rolling until nobody could stop him, but now that things are off track he's just improvising. That would certainly help explain why his new plan to keep his wife loyal has devolved into drugging her whenever she remembers all the stupid, awful poo poo Thinker's doing. That's actually a pretty good explanation for what I was complaining about. In my defense I'm from Central City. Dark Matter makes you stupid.

MiddleOne posted:Deveo is literally just the villains from Get Out I was wondering that. Is there some Sunken Place the host consciousness is trapped inside? Also just general Copy/Delete stuff, hitching brains and all. I’m predicting his “plan” is that his super genius burns out most bodies and he ultimately needs The Flash to keep the sci-fi ALS at bay indefinitely. bbf2 posted:Hey want to hear my impression of Tumblr Take that, imagined strawman! I’m pretty sure CW shows go pretty ok with that crowd. Lots of queer/nonwhite representation, even in the DC stuff.

So Devoe is a super genius who can read people's minds and also now has the powers of a woman who can use luck to make literally anything work out for them no matter what? I can't wait for Barry to Run Faster-er-er to defeat him this time.

Minor nitpick that Barry refused to testify in his favor because he’d have to lie in court, but got the charges dropped due to his palls lying and falsifying evidence at court.

DeVoe is still alive. Just not, you know, that DeVoe. That's only sorta' perjury, like when Barry says he doesn't kill.

I still say Barry getting hauled out of Joe's house would have made the whole situation 50% less stupid than him having time to clean up the crime scene and not doing it for reasons.

Wait but like Don't the police still have the original Devoe's corpse just...lying there in their morgue? And what's gonna happen when the new Devoe -- who is just Ralph -- doesn't show up anymore? Is Ralph going to go teach Devoe's classes, considering that there's literally no reason Devoe wouldn't just go back to work?

VictorianQueerLit posted:It just seems like sloppy writing where they spend 12 episodes establishing him as this infallible and invincible villain only to flip a switch and have his powers basically just not work all of a sudden. They could have either established from the start that even superbrain statistics have margins of error due to their complexity and while extremely threatening aren't perfect or they could have written a way to deal with the infallible perfection of the superbrain statistics. It seems like they wanted to heighten the tension by having him be invincible until they reach the appropriate place in the script for the heroes to be able to punch him in the face so now he is vulnerable. Tbf they did, every time Davoe's rattled off a statistic about how how impossible it is for Flash to beat him, he's never once said anything is 100% set, which implies (to me at least) that there's always a margin of error. Either way they had to make him fallible somehow. Can't keep 6th dimension chess-ing out of situations if he's also gonna pick up 12 other powers. Anyway I think the reason for his behavior is gonna be shown as his body swapping making him increasingly unstable.

Amunet's actress is just THE.WORST. Also like what even was the wardens plan? This former cop who regularly gets visits from his wife, a DA, and an active detective in charge of the meta hunting squad is going to just disappear from jail and nobody will notice? Or notice all the other metas disappearing? Maybe one or two a year but the entire meta population of the jail just vanishes and nobody would be worried or investigate? pile of brown fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Feb 7, 2018 |

I was under the impression that DeVoe was starting to lose his touch and be an rear end in a top hat to his wife because the body swapping and Slyar'ing of other people's powers has diluted his original powers and he's becoming a victim of his own success. Also gently caress anyone who wants to poo poo talk Katee Sackhoff, she is fantastic and you can all go to hell

Not quite, he says that they COULD have been targeted just as easily, but DeVoe didn't so he must only want the bus metas for some reason. nine-gear crow posted:I was under the impression that DeVoe was starting to lose his touch and be an rear end in a top hat to his wife because the body swapping and Slyar'ing of other people's powers has diluted his original powers and he's becoming a victim of his own success. That's my read on it as well, I think his powers and principles are degrading with each jump. (Assumedly) his original self expected that, and so now he's following along with his own plan without really knowing how it gets there.

I wish we had a hint of DeVoe's endgame. This is getting tedious. If his plan was to body swap with Barry, he could have done that while Barry was standing there with the power-suppressing shackle. Same with just stealing his powers for regeneration or something.

Like, when DeVoe busts into the prison and starts zapping the poo poo out of everyone, that probably would have been the perfect time to drop the accent for a second and go “Okay, screw this,” and bolt. Again, I don’t honestly care about it because it’s just an actor having some giddy fun on a dumbfuck superhero show after headlining two back-to-back long-running drama for the last 10 years.

Yeah, I can't speak to Longmire, whatever the gently caress that's about, but Battlestar and 24 are some dour, humorless stuff. I'd want to do something stupid and fun and campy after that, too.

So Devoe wanted/needed all the bus metas locked up in one place. Presumably so it would be easier for his chair to collect them all? But Amunet buying them all was something he didn't forsee? But luckily his chair was ready the exact same time as the meet anyway and everyone just happened to stumble into the same place?

This also raises further questions, like if Devoe is able to just fly into the prison at any moment then what was he even waiting around for. Was that one security guard just too much of a challenge? Devoe is one of the worst villains I have seen in fiction for years.
