I'm kind of hoping that it's a fake out and that she actually can't save him from himself because there's nothing there to save and DeVoe's own arrogance is ultimately what takes him out. DeVoe was a domineering creep right from the start and Marliez needs to just get away from him for good.

I'm waiting for the reveal that the attack on the campus that lead Marliez to do a 180 on her beliefs was actually planned by DeVoe to get her on his page

I still feel this season is the best since Season 1 and enjoyed DeVoe infiltrating the ARGUS site. Maybe individual plots are dumb and some characters are all over the place but it's better than the last two seasons on the whole.

I tend to agree but I wish someone more competent would make a Flash show on a different network. I’m even getting sick of Cavanagh and that’s horseshit.

Honestly I feel the same. If the season were just a few episodes shorter and there were a few less scenes of Devoe being smug, it'd be real good.

In fact, "a few episodes shorter"could've fixed much of season 2 also. Season 3 was just garbage though, I don't know what the gently caress could've helped it.

I wish they had done the DeVoe stuff last season and Savatar stuff this season, honestly. 3 seasons in a row of speedsters being the Big Bad was a bit much. And also not made Savatar a time remnant, use the original, Ultimate Warrior Savatar.

My name is Clifford DeVoe and I am the most tedious villain alive.
To the outside world I'm that smug professor who announces at the beginning of the semester that no one will be earning an 'A' and you'll have to work hard to earn a 'B', but secretly with the help of my wife I've managed to turn a once fun Superhero show on the CW into an absolute slog, with plots that feel wasted, and making an already poorly written Team Flash looking even dumber than the previous two seasons, and complaining about those drat millennials with their phones.
I am... The Thinker!

And I'm soooo much smarter than anyone else. How do you know that? I like Classical Music, which is only enjoyed by smart people!

Eh. I was fine with it and at least glad they went out of their way to both save the agents and stop DeVoe. We also got the progression of Cisco and Caitlyn learning how to operate in Flash Time (TM).

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

I still consider this a way better season than 3, and about on par with 2.

Ralph has been an amazing addition to the cast, Cecille is a nice humanizing element, and the mix of humor and drama is way better. The Thinker isn't my favorite villain, but I do appreciate him being ridiculously overpowered to the point that he's unstoppable in any kind of confrontation. That's fun and better than "If I could just run FASTER, I could stop Savitar!".

It's a huge improvement over 3, enough that I'm really excited for next season, too. Get Mark Hamill back for a few episodes and I'm golden.

Shouldn't davoe's satellites effect Arrow? Actually, plot twist, all this happened in september and everything in arrow this season has been a result.

Btw is it just me or does it seem like if every season Flash and Arrow just swapped villains they'd wrap up in 1 episode? All arrow villains would get utterly owned by super speed and every flash villain just needs an arrow to the neck.
