I still say they should find a Wells who stole Thawne’s face instead of the inverse so we can get Matt Letscher back on the show.

It honestly amazes me that The Flash can have two different actors play the same villain and have both of them be completely amazing.

She sounds like she based her accent on Dennis as a foppish dandy in The Gang Cracks the Liberty Bell.

“Why are you talking like that? Is there something wrong with your voice?”
“I was being arch... because we were being devious and plotting.”

Thawne is only around again because he left a bunch of time remnants in the past. Yes that was the only explanation :downs:

Every time Katee Sackhoff opens her mouth as Amunet I just think of that Always Sunny where Frank retires.

“Why are you doing that voice?”

Wait, how did Barry hold onto Devo's flying chair while simultaneously phasing through the chair's grabber arms? Boy, I sure hope someone got fired for that one!

He vibrated all the other parts of his body but the hands I’m assuming.

Barry isn't exactly keeping his secret identity super secret, he should just come out and be like "Ok look goddamnit I'm the Flash, I don't kill people anymore." "What was that last part?" "Oh. Nothing. Nothing."

Although, that could bring up the "If I'm the Flash, and I wanted to kill a guy, a) a knife, really? and b) not dumping his body in the middle of the ocean, really?" defense.

“Also I could have run away and disappeared before you found me and also why would I murder him / dump the body in my own home.”

I normally give a lot of leeway to TV shows in how they present trial practice and procedure, but this was exceptionally stupid even by those already reduced standards.

Probably the most unbelievable part of this show, and that's saying something, is a widow saying in court "no my husband totally wanted me to hook up with this young attractive man and have him satisfy my needs, you know in bed, wink wink, Clifford was 100% okay with it and happy for us". And the jury believes it.

... Okay no the most unbelievable part is the idea that Barry's identity is a secret to anyone, but that was a close second.

What made this dumb is that any reasonably experienced trial attorney would’ve backed the wife into a corner first. Or at least tried to.

“You and your husband were together for X years right?”
“Yes.”
“And you were monogamous during that time?”
“Yes.”
“Then how do you explain THIS”

This isn’t a high level concept, it’s basic trial technique. Cross 101.

That was much better than the last one despite everything about the Thinker/Barry Prison plot being dumb as hell still.

Also Baby Trickster is just terribly obnoxious in a way that doesn’t work for me.

I was pleased to see the return of Bebo.

DeVoe goes away for an episode and the show becomes good again. What a crazy coincidence.

Barry is fast enough to spend an hour running around while a nuke ignites but too slow to react to a villain loudly announcing their triumph before slowly removing their meta cuffs and zapping Ralph’s noodle.

Barry saying they don't kill their enemies would probably have more weight if it wasn't how they dealt with every other season's big bad.

And also numerous small scale villains and henchmen.

I’m still laughing at the fact that Team Flash had a satellite lying around and did absolutely nothing to prevent DeVoe from just taking it. They actually seemed surprised when he took it, like they forgot they had it.

I’m guessing Barry also found Flashpoint as uninteresting as the rest of us since he apparently never told his daughter about it.

Either that or she got her smarts from her father.

Disappointed we won't get the originally planned Thawne pod but even with the rough patches this was still a huge improvement over the last two seasons.

Ralph loses his ability to maintain his shape and becomes a puddle they carry around in a bucket, like Odo.
