I'm sure it could be arranged but that seems tough for production schedules, even if it's only one character moving around.

You've seen how easy it is to break into there, right?

He'd have more security standing in the middle of nowhere.

This is either some double bluff on the team's part, a bizarre bluff on the writers' part, or I'm very confused.

E: ...or a fake-out. In hindsight the most obvious but I'm disappointed.

I really, really hated the first thirty minutes of this episode. The back half was better, but it made me sad that they did so incredibly little of interest with Mirror-Iris. Also Eva seems like she could have been a cool villain throughout the season, but since she's been stuck in the mirror forever, she was just boring and inert for 99% of it. Even without the messed-up schedule thanks to COVID, this would still have been an appallingly-paced season.

My understanding is that they intended to resolve the Eva plot line before the end of the season and do a third ‘pod’ about Thawne.

I mean people get frustrated and discouraged when that poo poo happens, I don't blame then.

It's usually followed by a EUREKA moment in the middle of the night that makes everything work anyway.

Eva is a bad main villain because the main cast was not even aware she existed until almost the end of the season.

I kinda like that aspect of her. When there's a looming threat that the team is working against and totally aware of at all times you get the Savitar season where almost everything revolves around how to defeat Savitar and every single spoken line and every plot thread revolves around Savitar.

I'm hoping that her choosing to be herself and to live is foreshadowing her putting herself back together. And I hope she still looks like Iris but with cracks all over from shattering.

Why do you want mirror Iris back that whole plot was terrible :psyduck:

Because it looked like it was finally getting somewhere with her rebelling and trying to be her own person and then she just died. Basically, they cut the plot short just when it started showing potential.

Do you want to know the terrifying truth, or do you want to see me sock a few dingers?!!
Be prepared for a weird cliffhanger, everyone.

Most of episode 620 was shot, but production was shut down with a day of filming still left. This included key scenes so the episode right now is in a weird unfinished state. The last two were all set to go but now it's most likely they'll be shot at the start of next season, and when that starts no one knows. Production usually starts in July but that is highly unlikely right now. Legends finished because they had fewer episodes and started production at the same time as Flash. In fact, the first eight episodes of the season were all shot before the crossover, which was Legends first episode to air this season.

Big giant state of uncertainty for everyone in television right now, so this situation isn't unique. But it really sucks for everyone who works on these productions because there is literally nothing to work on outside of animation or finishing projects that were already wrapped. Writers are getting paid to write but the rest of pre-production can't move forward until a time-frame for return is made official.

I laughed really hard at the shot of Ralph sitting down on the couch and there was a giant pillow in front of Frost.

The issue with this week's episode was that it made it really clear that Cisco giving up his power was poorly motivated.
