That was my thought too. Every time she showed up on screen I was like "wow, she even looks like a female version of Carlos Valdes. There is not way that's not intentional."

It would also continue the trend of the universe hilariously conspiring to torpedo Cisco's love life. Like, it's gone from "she's a wanted criminal", to "reincarnation/spin off bullshit" to "dude, she's literally you, that's creepy."

Yeah, that was really dumb. What part of "to the death" did you not understand? If you don't kill her (or at least incapacitate her) she's just going to get up and keep trying to kill you. Or not, I guess, because she also didn't understand what "to the death" means. Which fits with them going on about how she's never been beaten. Well, obviously! If you lose a fight to the death then you don't get a second chance!

I am not a dude who cares about spoilers at all but I was busy last night and while I caught the Flash I had to skip LoT so if I did care about spoilers it would suck to see them 5 minutes after it aired in a different thread.

Like we are pretty loose with spoilers in this thread anyway but I think a "use spoiler tags for other shared universe series till at least the end of the week" policy wouldn't be a crazy request.

She was a Flash blogger, got a job at a paper by virtue of having connections to the Flash, then season 2 happened and dot dot dot, who the gently caress knows what now.

Really, Iris, the story about how you and Kid Flash stopped an arms dealer instead of the cops who were getting ready to stop him, will change peoples lives? I guess it'll make cheerleaders think your brother is even hotter and your dad is a little less effective at his job, but that is about it.

Did Mister Cisco's Wild Ride from the episode before just suddenly stop working? Seems like it didn't cost anything, so why not just vibe to the future for a status report every day? Seems way better than just guessing.

But seriously, that episode was:

"I'm your new editor and I hate the Flash!" > J. Zolomon Zoom saves a collapsing building > "I like the Flash now."

Two episodes later:

"Hey, Iris, let's go on a date" > "Well, you're my boss so that seems kinda dodgy but okay" > (at dinner) "I hate the Flash!"

And that was it for that character.

This is the thing I find infuriating about this show, they constantly just forget about stuff. There is no consistency in their world or characters.
This episode was yet again a series of events brought about by characters making dumb choices and resolved by making even dumber ones.

Oh and what was up with the leather boob cones? Is that a thing that is made into real clothes?

Did he say "I wish we knew that we were changing the future?"

I remember the sentiment being more like "I wish I knew which of these decisions I should make to change the future."

Characters seemed conflicted on if they should try to stop Gypsy or let her take HR. They weren't sure which of those things would change the future. Yeah, after they did one or the other they could Vibe forward and check but they wouldn't get a do-over if they found out nothing changed for the better.

Now, if they went through with saving HR and after it was done said the "I wish we knew we were changing the future" line then I missed it and that's a little dumb, yea.

I recall some throwaway line at some point about how people from HR's earth vibrate at a slightly different "frequency" to people on E1 or something. It might have even been in the explanation for how the face changer tech works. Her being from the same Earth as HR means it wouldn't work on her?

I dunno I'm pulling from half remembered lines here and might be completely off the mark. More likely that they just forgot.

Sorry but how is that effectively different from him hiding in a broom closet? Or just, like, leaving?

If she showed up to STAR labs and didn't find him standing around with that exact group of people, she presumably wouldn't just give up immediately. She probably would have started vibing everyone there to try to figure out what they know and how to track him down.

How does "oh there's some dude here I've never seen, welp that must mean Wells is nowhere" work exactly?

The disguise face he was using was his business partner, so it wouldn't be tough to figure out what was going on.

Also, Gypsy is a bounty hunter with a perfect record, from the same world where Wells pointed out that face-disguising tech is pretty common. She's going to have some way to counter that, because of course she is.

Also, does Wells keep the disguise on at all times, or just turn it on when he's going to be out in public? It may have just not been on when Gypsy arrived, probably plugged into a charger for when it is needed.
