The CW’s released an official photo to Iris’s super suit. I really hope it’s not just a one-off thing because it looks fantastic.

I appreciate the episode title "Run, Iris, Run" showing that the writers are at least aware of the show's stupider elements.

Look, when you design a pocket universe you have to accept that among all the universal constants you want, and avoiding the ones that are fatal, there will be a few variables that aren't ideal but must be left alone.

Prediction time: Ralph is going to be the last meta bodysnatched, his powers make him resistant to the dark matter decay, everything will look bad, then the power of friendship will drive Devoe from Ralph's body.

Then, for some reason, a wormhole will show up and the flash will have to run very fast to stop it.

He's managed to become the only villain more retarded than Barry.

I still cannot wrap my head around the end of "Don't Run". If Team Flash was willing to use Ralph to impersonate DeVoe in order to get Barry out of jail, what loving moral qualms could they possibly have had about letting Barry just grab DeVoe's corpse and put it somewhere else IN THE FIRST loving PLACE?

Cecile/Harry was funny though.

Agreed, expect for Devoe the show’s been on good. To the point that I wouldn’t mind next season not really having a big bad. Just have random crisis of the week stuff and lots of fun character interactions.

No exactly, the show is great when they stay light and can lean on the charisma of the cast. It's when things start to turn serious that everything falls apart. And the DeVoe story has been as serious as a heart attack (too soon in light of Kevin Smith? Nah, he survived his) so the proceedings grind to a halt whenever he appears.

They need to have a villain with a proper sense of humour again like Thawne. Part of what made Thawne work in season 1 was that while the dude was terrifying as poo poo and did not gently caress around, he was also just as funny and goofy as the rest of Team Flash, only in a more darker direction.

Zoom, Savitar, and DeVoe have all been kinda bores so far...

A guy I grew up with is a Country singer now so I'm obligated to fight you on this one, but I only like one song of his so I'm not gonna fight very hard.

My favorite was how DeVoe is now southern, no doubt because that actress is kind of bad, but c'mon. or is he like taking their whole personalities? cuz if so he's totally just gonna end up losing because of INNER TURBULENCE.

Bonus points for Devoe proudly proclaiming he is Killgore, for everyone to hear, before the inhibitor turned purple and exploded and all of the super geniuses not expecting this or even understanding what happened. Who knew using technology on the guy who controls technology wouldn't work. If only we knew what went wrong. We've got 8-9 episodes left to figure this conundrum out and technobabble some poo poo up about hacking binary DNA or whatever the gently caress.

I won't go so far as to praise the episode or anything but yeah, I like Ralph and this was an episode focused on developing his journey into becoming a hero. So I was good with watching that. I'm invested in Ralph's growth as a person.

I think I figured out DeVoe's plan. He takes the Country Powers to create a new hit country album. Then he uses his Unlucky Power to have all the other country stars to behalf some horribly unlucky accident. Then he uses his Kilgore powers to push his album out to every computer, phone, tablet, and radio in the country. Then after winning a Grammy for best new Country Album he uses that resizing power to make a giant Grammy statue which he brings to life. Then uses it to kill Barry.

Or, in the season finale, Harry’s crisis of confidence over his doodly-doo not deedly-deeing culminates in him realizing he forgot to take into account the bleebledy-blorp and he schmeckedy-shlorps the dingle-bopper and then his stupid thing works now for reasons.
