It's just bad writing. Give your characters a life outside the screen. Iris still has a job, too, but they forgot that as well.

He was killed like two season ago.

From this episode I think it's a safe bet that Devoe's end goal is to put his brain in the Flash's body. Which is a sensible goal, unlike Zoom or Savitar. It's not clear how Buffalo Lady helps him there, but maybe they'll tie it all together

Since Thawne likes to cause car accidents to take the faces from his targets, I think he should be Princess Di next.

The show is very clearly not interesting

Thinking of it, all of this was because Barry didn't want to commit perjury, but isn't him saying he never killed anyone in his closing statement when he did several times exactly that anyway?

Ah yes of course, thank you. Whatever happened to that show? They were on the island and then i never found any more episodes.

When DeVoe says there are too many variables for him to comprehend I want his wife to start telling him he needs to Think Hard-er-er.

Speedforce gonna deflect the dumb ray and make Barry the smartest man on Earth by default, Devoe will never see it coming

Actually Prometheus and Slade were pretty good. Still, it's not easy.

It still largely bemuses me though how invisible Ezra Miller's been as the Flash in the public consciousness. Gal Gadot has become everyone's default Wonder Woman, Jason Mamoa has overwritten the cultural joke that Aquaman's been for the last 40 years, and Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill have owned the roles of Batman and Superman despite their movies being garbage, but nobody thinks of Ezra Miller when they think of the Flash. And I think that's largely due to our Flash being kind of a TV powerhouse onto itself while the DCEU Flash has been trying to get its movie off the ground for 5 years now and is still looking for a drat director.

I think that was season 2 where they were playing with the idea that Barry and Iris weren't going to hook up and so they started introducing new love interests for both of them and then they got written off.

The A List Rouges have mostly shown up already.

Wasn't his voice in the last episode?

At the end of the flashbacks Chris Klein is sitting next to his niece's hospital bed and saying "It's all my fault, it's all my fault." I know the doctor was able to change his mind and get him to blame metas etc. instead rather quickly, but I'm a bit confused as to how he could have possibly come to the conclusion that her coma was in any way his fault in the first place. He innocently took her out to a carnival and then all of the sudden a bunch of meteors made out of radioactive metal and poo poo started falling from the sky and destroying things and causing damage.

That's the big problem with season-long stories. If you introduce the threat (whether it's a villain or an imminent disaster or whatever) then you've got to have a reason for why the final confrontation can't just happen immediately. If it's a bad guy, what are they waiting for? If it's a disaster, how many different ways can the protagonists try unsuccessfully to stop it? It can work if you've got a plausible reason for the delay, but too often you just get bad guys who show up to taunt the hero before running away again and not actually doing anything until the last minute. Or the heroes knowing about a threat but not doing anything about it until they suddenly go "oh, here's this thing/plan I've been working on behind the scenes this whole time and which I only just finished now". It's a single episode's worth of story but cut up and spread over a season.

This was part of why Thawne worked so well. He didn’t have some time-sensitive master plan that could only be accomplished or thwarted at the end of the season like Savitar and DeVoe, he just wanted to keep being a dick to Barry as long as he could and then tried to bug out at the end when everything turned against his favour and he got the calling card that Zoom was coming for his rear end.

*the thought occurs that basically no member of Team Flash has any sort of combat training. Aside from that one season 1 episode where Oliver Queen shoots Barry in the back. And I guess Ralph went through police academy when he was on the CCPD. But still, they know multiple accomplished martial artists, they should look into learning some basic self-defense that doesn't rely on powers and luck. And maybe if Iris took a firearm course or just let Joe teach her she could hit something with the big gently caress-off sci-fi rifle she and the various Wellses fire ineffectually.

Justice League crashing and burning and losing to VENOM of all things at the box office this year was the death knell of the DCEU. The universe itself is dead and at this point it’s just a matter of continuing with the properties that are actually resonating with audiences, which is basically just Wonder Woman and maybe Aquaman, and Harley Quinn if you squint really super hard and based on the power of Margot Robbie alone, but we’ll see.
