No one trusts Iris to not immediately run to STAR Labs and try to interview Wells. Eddie's "Wow, everyone but Iris?" was hilarious. Clearly the writers have some idea this is dumb, right?

I still think it was great when Iris was kidnapped because she wrote about the Flash. Which she's known for to this day. And they're still saying that her not knowing Barry's secret's gonna keep her safe.

Flesh Forge posted:How is this such a fountain of conversation material Valeyard posted:I deal with the Iris issues by just not caring I also didn't care until this episode. Probably because I was so disappointed with the two week break on to a crossover that was so mediocre. The Iris thing was the only noteworthy thing to happen. I'm also done complaining now, in case anybody cares.

drat, first episode of The Flash I've ever skipped through. Bee lady was weak and the two girls trying to out hack each other wasn't fun and just embarrassing for everyone involved. Barry phased through a truck and travelled back in time. This week he can't out run a bee? Harsh barley. This show feels like it's been building momentum for a while and has been more and more exciting and fun each time. This episode totally derailed that and I hope next week can get back in the groove. p.s. tell iris hottubrhymemachine fucked around with this message at 18:47 on Apr 15, 2015 |

mikeraskol posted:How is Iris not knowing even protecting her? Barry's most dangerous enemy is the Reverse Flash. As far as Joe knows, Reverse Flash knows who Barry is, knows who he is, and knows about Iris. RF could kill her in half a second. How is her not knowing Barry's secret help with that at all? Eddie needs to man up and be all "You know what, hell with you guys, I'm telling Iris".

If Eddie has any sense he will tell Iris about Barry and then immediately dump her I hope the shapeshifter thing is a swerve and weeks of not getting laid just turns him mental and he starts shooting cops!!!

The best part about Wells being so tight lipped since episode 16 is that regardless of whether I'm right about him remembering the alternate timeline due to speed force or he's straight up panicking about not knowing what happened, he seems to be scheming something. What the gently caress is going on in his head?

The scene with the bee and Wells almost getting up and going to super-speed was such an awesome, tiny touch.

I like Felicity just dumping the entire third season since the crossover on Barry in one sentence. "Ollie's considering leading the League of Assassins, Laurel is the Black Canary, and Roy is in jail." But my favorite part is that people - like Cisco in the trailer where Laurel tells him she's Black Canary - in the show seem to be in complete awe about Black Canary and Laurel being outed as her is some big thing. I can't imagine Barry's even heard of the Black Canary, really, nor should he be all that surprised that Laurel of all people is her. Does he really even know who Laurel is? Still, Ray and Felicity saved the episode. I didn't know the girl from Walking Dead was the baddie this episode but she was terrible as a villain. She didn't even do anything and was on screen for like a minute of total screen time. I'm guessing this is just one of those episodes that they needed to do to fill out time before the big stuff happens in regard to the finale. So from the trailer, and seeing as there's four episodes left, I'm guessing that the next two deal with Shapeshifter Man and Cool Mask Dude, the second to last (titled Rogue Air) is where the Rogues bust out the super-max prison inmates, like The Mist and Weather Wizard, and Ollie, Ray, and Barry team up to take them down, and the finale deals with Reverse Flash? Seems like there's no room for Grodd in there at all if I'm right.

In the next 5 episodes we are due some kind of Wells flashback/flashforward/flashsideways episode, a Grodd episode, a big Rogues teamup episode, the episode about Deathbolt(?) and the finale. It's gonna pick up again next week

Very surprised to see all the negative reaction to this ep. Sure the villain and the Iris stuff was garbage but uhh, that's been true for almost EVERY episode. (Mind you, the hacking bit was SO DUMB, down to SPARKS exploding out of the computer because she got hacked SO HARD.) But we got to see Felicity being fun and funny and awkward again (as opposed to crying and inconsistent and existing purely to tease shippers) and it made me happy. I kinda wish they'd cancel Arrow and just bring the cast into the Flash because the Flash writers seem to have a way better handle on them and Arrow is basically dead to me now. Ray was fun too, and him sciencebro'ing it up with Cisco was good stuff. Cisco having flashbacks to the alternate timeline was interesting and the group finding out at the end is moving that story along in a good way. Ray: "I can't stay up. [beat] I mean the suit." Felicity: "He means the suit." Ray: "The sex is fine." Caitlin: "Oh god, there's two of them." "Bee careful!" "Really?" "Sorry. Bad pun. Don't die." "Didn't I give you explicit instructions not to die?" "That's a big thing for her."

She's *already* a target for people who think she knows who this Flash is. Her actually knowing doesn't change that in the slightest. It's clear the show just wants to delay until some opportune, dramatic moment to reveal this information. "We can't tell Iris yet, because nobody's in specific mortal danger and the reveal wouldn't carry enough dramatic weight...have you no showmanship, Eddie?"

A couple pages back but:Timett posted:I'm really curious about how they write Iris after she finds out about Barry. If they go the 'you betrayed me and I can't forgive this' route it will be just as bad or worse than what we're getting now, right? The only way out of this tornado of bad writing surrounding her I can see is if she takes matters into her own hands fully. Have her tear Joe a new one for being the ringmaster for all this, or give her a crazy person peg board like Barry's. Something. I really liked everything about this episode except all that. I liked all the dumb bee stuff. I even liked the really dumb hacking battle. It's just this thorn in the side of the show that's killing me right now.
