Well apparently the writers did too because the effort exhausted them so much that we have another break lol

It’s not the writers, it’s everyone in post production busting their asses to get 23 visual effects heavy shows out the door on time.

Maybe Star is actually Flint. That would... Make a lot of sense.

Star City kind of has to be on the West coast seeing as the Queen's Gambit sailed from there to the South China Sea, which could be possible if it was somewhere else but I kind of doubt they would have gone through all that inconvenience.

On an unrelated note I had something weird happen when watching through the app. Like halfway through the episode the commercials just stopped and every time it went to break it instead just came right back.

Well that's my story.

I think Iris got to be the Flash longer than Wally.

Also disappointed Cisco didn't make a second Spider-man 2 reference when Wells suggested drowning the fire.

Yeah I was just joking. Also I thought this was specifically the time of year we always have multiple 2-3 week breaks because they are trying to space stuff out for sweeps anyway. One year they just did like a 6-7 week break and it was brutal

I liked the Iris story this episode and one moment I haven't seen mentioned yet but really appreciated was the slow zoom in on Barry thrust into Iris' role and just freezing and panicking. There have been a couple scenes where she's shown to make hard decisions quickly in times of crisis.

They better kill melting point in the next episode because holy poo poo is his power OP. Why not use him to start stripping powers from the metas in Iron Heights and giving them to cops/govt agents? He'll still have a huge target on his back even after DeVoe has an aneurysm and dies while Team Flash is playing 4 dimensional chess in a force field prison or whatever dumb gimmick he uses to slowly kill them for an entire episode in the finale.

He's gonna touch Devoe but at this point Devoe has too many powers so it'll overload him and then Devoe will off him.

They should just let Iris be the Flash from now on and let Barry be her love interest who doesn't get many storylines.

Then hand the show over to the Black Lightning showrunners.

I liked the purple speed force better too. Barry should have just given up the powers anyways since the speed force is gonna be pissed he left his prison without asking first.

Just rig him up to Harry's machine from season 2 with all of the chemicals and replicate the experiment again. Hey maybe they'll get lucky like Wally and Jesse did and Harry can score some of that sweet speed force. Or the other members of team flash can double down on powers.

At the very least they should have had the guy steal the powers from everyone they have locked up in No Lunch Gitmo and maybe transfer them into people less inclined to be crazy.

And didn't Killer Frost have this whole arc about not wanting her powers and trying to figure out a way to cure her and now there's a literal walking solution to that as a junior member of the team? Surely if Cisco can make a soccer ball that has enough of Barry's DNA to fool the Speed Force they could whip up a receptacle to just dump powers into so they don't have to worry about the moral dilemma of giving powers to people to remove them from others.

Caitlin was always obsolete to me and the more the writers show they have no idea what the to do with her the more they proves it. There have been multiple episodes where she does nothing or is completely gone and no one has noticed, least of all the characters.

I mean in s1, it was alright because she was a (terrible) doctor but with Harry/Cisco/Barry you didn't really need another techno/speedforce-babble person.

Then they set up Killerfrost and I'm like, ok maybe now she'll do something cool!

Then they act like her/Iris are actually going to be friends and I fall for it and they STILL don't do anything with her.

They should have had her run away with Julian (another interesting character they didn't know how to use) and live happily ever after at this point. :(

edit: I want to add the Iris/Caitlin lack of friendship pisses me off so much. For the longest time they're the only women who work together with the Superhero stuff, so obviously they'd spend lots of time together and have absolutely no one to vent to when Harry's a dick or Barry is dumb. After they acknowledge this and Iris/Barry get married, Caitlin is going through this villain bullshit and could use a friend and she... does nothing. Give me an episode that's just Caitlin and Iris getting drunk on wine, talking poo poo about Barry/Harry/Cisco and saving the day at the end by ordering a pizza (which is obviously delivered by a meta they catch immediately because they aren't incompetent.)

I took that as very deliberate on the daughter's part. "Oops, my first KILLER FROST, tee hee!"

Also I still can't believe that's Jessica Kennedy, she looks like a decade younger compared to when she was on Black Sails.

I hope they don't sit on daughterfast too long and she gets into the fray soon. I'm OK with her being the next seasons overall arc but just have her show up at random and fangirl until her life's put in danger so she can just go "pffft one sec" and wrap the whole thing up in a nanosecond while the others gape at her

I was disappointed in Iris' costume because she didn't get a lightning bolt emblem on her chest the way literally every other speedster on the show does.

You can't be a proper speedster without a cool lightning bolt motif on the chest :colbert:

If Barry, Wally and Avery Ho can all be the Flash in comics, I don't see why Iris can't co-Flash seeing as they already did the "uguu WE are the Flash" stuff. That even feels like a more natural progression than picking up blogging.
