The show might be bad but the dumb incest fixation people have is also bad. Iris isn't Barry's sister and hasn't been depicted as Barry's sister.

People in this forum have had a legit bizarre hangup about Iris since forever. Of all the multitudes of conceptual, narrative, character-related problems, for some reason Iris just keeps on getting spotlighted as the foremost issue the writers ought to fix? Caitlin's writing was at least as precarious as Iris' last year -- more, in my opinion -- but for some reason no one's pinning the downfall of the show on Caitlin. (Not that they should)

For some reason people who aren't me think the Flashpoint storyline is gonna be the best thing ever so, in a way, it's all thanks to Iris the show is saved

This was a Good Episode so that makes me feel a bit better about the show at the moment. ...On the other hand, season 2 had Good Episodes as well. The problem won't be if individual episodes are Good, but if the overlying concepts and narrative of the season will hang together better than they did last year.

I think, at this point, enjoying this show will be a matter of...setting the right expectations. Looking back I can objectively see all sorts of problems with this premiere, especially with the KILL NORA bingo board crossing absurd thresholds...but I never expected this Flashpoint thing to be that big a deal in the first place so I wasn't surprised to see just another obligatory alternate universe episode.

This is another episode that I did not dislike. The overall concept -- dealing with the consequences of Barry's timeline manipulations -- hangs together well and there were some genuinely decent stakes and writing. True-FlashDad's lecture about how the broken cup can't ever be fixed exactly the way it was before was actually a good metaphor to convey "time travel" on this show, not only as an explanation for prior instances, but also as a good rule of thumb going forward. Of course they could always toss out some time remnant wraith bullshit down the line but, for the time being, I think the show has managed to put a band-aid over their usual time travel nonsense. Sux for Dante though~

Going with the plague doctor aesthetic, I assume. Like...Draco is 99.99999% likely to be Alchemy, but they might also pull yet another of those switcheroos like they did with Eddie and "Jay."

Look this show can either have a plot or it can have characters behaving intelligently. We can't get both. (This was a fun little episode, though)

Hopefully Flashpoint retconned that. Have we even seen the Pipeline this season? Maybe it doesn't exist anymore?

So much of this was just...stilted and amateurish and low-budget and forced and half the cast seemed like they were having their lifeblood drained from them through their spleens, but I've decided that I enjoyed the hour anyway in literal defiance of all logic and sensibility.

Am I the only one who thinks that the cast of this show has been too large and unwieldy for some time now? Seven or eight people stacked into that overused STAR Labs command center all pep-talking at each other in rapid succession just makes...I dunno, it makes the space of this show feel really claustrophobic and burdensome. Not sure how to explain it. It feels like Buffy season 7 where everyone was just stacked into Buffy's living room for episode after episode, and the set wasn't built to accommodate that visually or dynamically. I don't think we need to pare down the cast or anything, but (just as an example) we really don't need the entire West family locked in with the science gang every time Barry fights a meta. Shouldn't Joe be out there anyway, as a cop?

I haven't seen the episode yet but...why does the Kid Flash suit look so unwieldy and ill-fitting on Keiynan Lonsdale? He's not an unwieldy boy. He's bigger than Grant Gustin but not that much bigger. But they manage to fit Barry's suit fine but Wally's suit looks like last-minute cosplay.

Well that was an episode of a thing.  I wish they had leaned even further into the silliness and camp of the situation, and more characters seriously needed to sing more...but I got a big kick out of it anyway. Funniest thing I've seen in a long while. And gently caress it, I loved that Super Friends song. e: And okay, y'know, I'm just gonna say it...my thirst for Grant Gustin had reached an all-time low in recent times due to how little I enjoy Barry Allen as a character, but seeing that last song just completely reminded me why and how much I used to want to tap that like a faucet.

I've barely watched any of this season but I'm gonna say that this is probably the only satisfying option they could have ended up going for.

A guy like Batman, not Green Arrow. They've shown Supergirl and Green Arrow together already.

New suit for Barry. Looks to be similar to the future Flash suit.
