So ultimately, this has to end with them figuring something out based on what Barry was muttering in the first episode right?

This is where we came up with the inhibitor. I think it works? There was something about a stretchy guy too. idk I was in the speed force I wasn't really paying attention lol

That was unbelievable dreadful writing. Barry can't get through a forcefield he literally just got through. Victim of the week can't use her powers without something she was previously perfectly able to use her powers without. Even for a goofy superhero show that was real bad.

Savitar revealed that they device called the Cerebral Inhibitor was used to beat DeVoe. He never said how. For all we know, Barry has to put it on, reverse the polarity and superspeed broadcast his thoughts into DeVoe's head. Edit: And he has to run while doing it.

Since team flash is so cavalier about the metas getting killed, they should just pack the next one with high explosives on a non-digital timer Anything to end this Devoe plotline

The explanation they gave was something like "Savitar said that we used the cerebral inhibitor against Devoe, he didn't say that it worked"

It's just not the correct page in the script for the antagonist to be finally defeated yet so we needed a dramatic reversal of fortune.

Everyone keeps talking about the cerebral inhibitor failing but man they've had power inhibitors for like a whole season or two. gently caress the cerebral inhibitor, slap Caitlin's ugly necklace from last season on Devoe then shoryuken him back into a wheelchair. poo poo isn't Devoe's number one power his brain? Yeah get that necklace and loving leave him literally brain dead. Frankly though, lol at anyone thinking Team Flash will have a hand in stopping Devoe when it's so clearly going to be his wife pulling a heel turn (or face turn I guess?) and stopping him. I mean here's your season finale: Devoe has his machine to save the world ready to go, he's got a tentacle coming got Ralph while both he and Barry look on helplessly (because he's got them trapped somehow) and he brags about how he'll save the world by killing millions (cue shocked reaction shots from everyone), until a shot rings out and Devoe's wife is dramatically revealed to have shot him in the back. Then they ask why she did it and she says "he wasn't my husband anymore". Then after a brief denouement we get to see the new baby West be born and then Barry and Iris's future-daughter reveals herself as a dramatic hook for next season.

I'm telling y'all it's gonna be what De Voe exclaims about his new "house" aka Barry's body (or possibly Barry's actual house, which he visits as Barry). Unlike everyone else, however, Barry's neurons, aka "soul", will still be alive because they're constantly outrunning the De Voe neurons chasing him inside his head. In the end he will defeat De Voe by simply thinking faster, possibly accompanied with an Eternal Sunshine-esque hold-on-to-your-memories sequence.

I enjoyed this episode up until the end. Like I laughed really hard at Ralph making fun of the hallway pep talks but then just straight up murdering the new character was crappy. Everything with Izzy felt really compressed, it should have been at least a couple of episode arc instead of everything happening on the day after meeting her. Also, how stupid do Barry and Ralph think people are? Showing up talking to Izzy in civilian clothes and then two guys who look exactly the same show up dressed in costumes.

Well we've long since established that Barry has no idea what the concept of "secret identity" means and it sorta makes sense that Ralph has no regard at all for a secret identity seeing as how he's seemingly invulnerable and has no friends.

I'm sure that if the inhibitor worked as intended there was some sci-fi bullshit about how it would never come off. It's far from the least believable thing on the show.

Black Lightning suffers from the same problem. Jeff shows up somewhere and threatens a guy in his civvies, that doesn't work, so he comes back like 20 minutes later as Black Lightning and shocks the poo poo out of the dude, and nobody realizes it's him because he puts a pair of big sunglasses on and fucks with his voice a bit.

They call this out, though. Apparently he does something that makes his face literally hard to look at, like looking at the sun or something.

He also makes the lights flicker as he steps into the room and generally comes off as intimidating and ready to gently caress poo poo up whereas Jefferson is basically normal. I imagine people are worried about not getting the poo poo kicked or zapped out of them to really get a good look

Like Batman saying his suit's armor is thicker near the bat-symbol or Superman saying the S draws people's eyes so they don't focus on his face and then put two and two together and figure out he's Clark Kent. But especially to explain how a domino mask is ever supposed to work.

Savitar: "This is where we came up with the cerebral inhibitor to use against DeVoe..." About eight or so weeks from now: Harry, holding a steak knife in the air in front of Team Flash in that same room, "Hey guys! I just realized that if we're in close enough range to slap that dumb techno-thing on DeVoe's head that totally didn't work, we could just stab him/her in the brain instead. I'm calling this steak knife 'The Cerebral Inhibitor.'"
