Earth-2 Killer Frost didn't seem to be one. She was just aces with murdering folks and suddenly super evil. It always seems like a Brotherhood of Mutants thing, where they're instantly social pariahs with superiority chips on their shoulders.

You'd think, being a scientist with a social conscience, she'd realize: "hey, I should think globally and combat climate change. I know a way to stop polar ice erosion..."

Probably "holy poo poo I just lost it and froze a man's arm off" would take precedence :shrug:

I didn't mean, like, that second. Just, in quiet moments where she thinks about her life now. "Should I rob banks and kill people? What else can I do with magic ice powers?"

At least Weather Wizard was already a criminal.

Just binged through the first five episodes, and I gotta say this season is pretty great so far. I love that characters act in mature, reasonable ways, such as by admitting and apologizing for mistakes and forgiving each other. The show is also a lot more lighthearted in general, with some really good humor. Even the Barry-Iris relationship, which was way too emo and cringe-worthy, is pretty fun this time around.

Julian's making up with Barry was a pleasant surprise. So was Wells turning out to be a conman. Pretty ambivalent about the writers rehashing the Killer Frost idea but whatever. Maybe they'll take it in an interesting direction beyond "Caitlin turns evil."

Also, Jesse Quick. gently caress yeah. I think she's great in that role - a younger, less experienced speedster who shows up occasionally to help Barry. Lots of great potential there.

I like Draco and Killer Frost and most of this season. I thought this week's was great because of the character moments instead of MOTW plot.

Also because Tom Cavanagh is just too good

11:13: Despite Gio Gonzalez warning, "Never mix your sparkling juices," Bryce Harper opens another bottle of sparkling grape and mixes it with sparkling cider.

1:07: Harper walks to the 7-11 and orders an all-syrup Slurpee.

1:10-3:05: Harper has no recollection of this time. Aliens?
I have to give the writing team some credit for thinking of ways to keep using the actor as a part of the team after S1 Wells turned out to be evil.

He tried to undo it and made things worse. Now he's got Draco Malfoy nosing around and acting pissy, the Flashpoint timeline is bleeding into this one because he futzed around with the timeline so much Flashdad had to give him a timeout, and Harry was replaced by another Wells who wears a fedora.

Not so dumb if you consider the fact that she's the god drat Chief Scientist (and possibly also the CEO) and can override any lock with her keycard or whatever, especially if the room is a lab.

Well dumb in that the guys plan was to kidnap a woman who could easily kill him with no means to defend himself, into a room her mom can easily open and goes in frequently.

You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance.



Curious as to why no one's wondering who HR's intelligent partner is, the one who actually cracked the coded message the team sent out. Any time a show refers to someone as "my partner" more than once without actually giving that person a name, I have to assume there's something there that they're keeping from the audience until later. And if "my partner" is the co-founder of alt-Star Labs who just decoded a message from a superhero from another universe, I've gotta assume this guy is going to take an interest in what follows.

Who's another super genius that might show up? It can't be anyone that's met HR in the main universe, because he certainly would have mentioned that they're his partner's doppleganger.
