I liked Barry watching all the TV from the time he was in the speed force, though he was really far behind on Game of Thrones.

Seriously considering making "WHO MAKES SOUP SO HOT?!" my text tone.

Line of the show right there. It was almost a golden age Simpsons joke.

Just the constant bad luck was great. The sully bit was kind of outdated, but the cgi canada goose salvaged it.

Did they think Elongated Man was too silly and went with Plastic Man? Or am I getting the two confused. Though I hope Dibney shows up in the red one piece and sunglasses that Plastic Man wore.

I think they just wanted to avoid the Elongated Man name because it is kind of awkward. Also unlike Plastic Man Ralph can only stretch.

Seems like he can stretch any part of himself. I want to see him stretch like his eyeballs to spy on someone. That grossed me out as a kid, but I want to see it now.

Also, they continue to indicate that the MCU exists in the Arrowverse. "I look like a Hemsworth!"

The worst part about 30 Rock was that the the Funcooker pocket microwave wasn't real :( I never watched the pilot when it came out, so I didn't realize the Trivection oven was even real until I heard about people losing their minds because NBC aired ads for the Trivection oven with the episode.

The bit where they're trying to figure out the name of the product with the scrabble blocks is one of my favorite comedy bits ever.

I honestly thought DeVoe's plan was to steal Barry's body, but now he's got a new body, so who knows?

It's also weird we only saw a tiny bit of Barry's defense, so it made it look like he wasn't being defended at all. Iris should have just decked Mrs DeVoe.

It's more a lazy cliche for super smart people who only enjoy fancy stuff like Opera and Classical Music. Writers who aren't very smart have this weird idea about what smart people are like. I mean the flipside is the genius watches cartoons and listens to heavy metal, but is probably obnoxiously immature.

I mean it also makes sense from a save money point of view because you can get pretty much any classical music for very cheap. For years it was used because you could get Russian recordings of stuff for free becuase before the USSR fell there was zero copyright law covering anything from there.

Wouldn't mind? The main antagonist has been dragging this show down since season two. Just like it eventually does every show like this. Arrow. Supernatural. Buffy. They do the big bad thing well once, twice, maybe three times if they're really lucky and then they just keep doing it forever even though it isn't working any more.


I feel like this has become the model for this kind of tv show. There's always minor bad guys at the start, but that leads into a bigger one, who beats the team at every turn until they figure out the one weird trick that will defeat them. Though I don't remember them always being so cryptic. You have some idea fairly early on at their big plan, DeVoe is keeping secrets for the sake of it. Normally that is limited to the heroes.

Aren't they hinting they're still gonna do this? When Cait and whoever were talking in Jitters and got interrupted by Barry's daughter, the thing Caitlin was saying is that for the first time, she actually started to remembere some of the things she was doing as Frost.

That episode did also have KF express concern for Caitlin's safety, so yea, there could be something moving there.

So, like, we're supposed to feel sorry for DeVoe and his wife based on those flashbacks? Seriously, its pretty obvious he thinks of her as a possession not as a partner.

And DeVoe is just "Darn kids and their internets and cellphones! Lets return humanity to living in mud and poo poo!"

Best thing about this episode is Wally sending them a gift via Legends.

That episode actually made me like Devoe's wife a bit more right up until the point where's like "the bad guys I was trying to help refuges of did a monstrous thing so now I totally want to lobotomize the world." That seemed like a stark turn from the person in the rest of the episodes.

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!
