Barry moved this fast before in like the 3rd episode when he had an entire conversation with frozen Iris.

The Lord Bude posted:Why can't you guys hold your elections on weekends like normal countries? Like what the hell was going through people's heads when they decided on Tuesday, instead of say Saturday? quote:In 1845, the United States was largely an agrarian society. Farmers often needed a full day to travel by horse-drawn vehicles to the county seat to vote. Tuesday was established as election day because it did not interfere with the Biblical Sabbath or with market day, which was on Wednesday in many towns. Could probably use some updating though.

Phylodox posted:Jabbing them with a needle is a medical procedure, one you can’t do to just anyone without their express consent. Just because someone was a victim of an industrial accident doesn’t invalidate their right to bodily integrity. What if it were a laser beam? Or what if it were Melting Point's power? Nothing medical about it.

Phylodox posted:You can qualify all you like, it’s still permanently altering their biologies. It’s a violation of bodily autonomy. So "biology" is where you draw the line? Because exactly some of the time, the technobabble explanation for superpowers is just "energy". Is okay to take away these people's powers? Or, I guess that Cicada is actually Meta now, but his knife is very much a part of him now, psychic connection and all. Would taking his knife away from him be like forcibly amputating a limb? oh jay fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Mar 8, 2019 |

The thing is within the show, until very recently powers were like clothes, people would take them on and off flippantly. I never would have even considered it "bodily integrity" until recently. Like, that guy that got Fire powers from Melting Point and then immediately started doing crime. I guess they locked him in Iron Heights, but I think they would have been completely justified in taking his powers away, because it really seemed like a "thing he has" not a "thing he is".

I don't think we're using it to generalize. I think the question at hand, is in the specific instance that is definitely going to happen in the season finale, should the Flash kill or cure Cicada?

The Lord Bude posted:They could have timed the start of the season relative to the production schedule in such a way that they could show the season start to finish with either no break or just a single hiatus for the holiday season. I'd rather the show started airing a month later than have random multi week gaps in the airing. Unfortunately, "could" in this case doesn't mean "is literally possible", but more tied to the idea of "would advertisers pay the same or more in this case". The mere existence of sweeps weeks or whatever suggests otherwise.

Phenotype posted:Even though it happened before she arrived, it was her time travel itself that caused the ripples that changed the past. They confirmed that in an episode in the last couple months, time travel changes a bunch of poo poo that isn't always direct cause and effect from the stuff you personally do in the past. That's how Barry managed to change the sex of Diggle's baby a couple seasons ago. I know they mentioned that kind of stuff with Flashpoint and all, but I literally cannot remember a single time they mentioned Nora doing it. Everything she changed that I remember was the direct result of punching the satellite, and flowed forwards not backwards in time.

Weird that Nora kept referencing 2019 as home, which it clearly isn't. A lot of the "drama" came with this weird undertone, that I guess Nora was planning on permanently moving to the past or something?

Sometimes I wonder if the writers even knew how old she was supposed to be, since they seemed to purposely not address it. Like they were just waiting for the footage to come back and how it felt before committing to an exact age and backstory.

I just realized the Violett Beane (Jessie Quick) is in God Friended Me, so they weren't just making fun of the name of a show with a terrible concept, they were referencing the show of an old costar that has a terrible concept.

Although I guess they do that for everyone. (See also Caitlin's ability to heal because of... cold?) In this very episode, they made feeling emotions the same power as vertigo, or something like that. Everything involving the Top's scenes was confounding.

I want to say that they had like 90% of this episode done and half of the next. Grant mentioned on Twitter that we'll see swole Barry in episode 2 or 3. He isn't even sure how they salvaged the existing footage.

I liked Ralph's character because of the surprisingly good performance of the actor whose name I won't even bother to look up. You don't really catch lightning in a bottle like that two times in a row in these CW shows. Just dump the character and move on.

The Lord Bude posted:I feel like you guys are massively overthinking it. He broke the artificial speed force; and a bunch of lightning burst out of him. The artificial speed force was Harrison Wells powered. Seems to me that all the escaping Wells Particles just found a convenient Wells particle receptacle and recreated Harrison Wells. I know Crisis can explain anything, but they dug up that body in season one, and it was kind of an important plot point. That was either a flashback, or Wells coalesced over an empty mound of dirt.

Robot Hobo posted:They showed a "Once upon a time..." message before we saw Wells being facejacked and killed by Thawne, so that part was a flashback to the year 2000. Did I miss something, or was it unclear when in the 21-ish years after his death the resurrection happened? Did he just get green-sparkled back to life today, or did he come back to life ten minutes after he died, and has been hiding out this entire time? I now accept the reality that Real-Well has been slightly off camera the entire time.

I thought the episode overall was really, really bad. The editing, direction, and acting in Chester's whole story just did not land. The only good part of it was when everyone showed off their costumes.

Yeah, I feel like there's was a draft of this episode with at least two more loops in it, where Cisco slowly figures out why Chester doesn't want to go to his grandma's, maybe where the guy in the pink shirt that Chester stared and for way, way too long does something. Some other running gags like you want from this kind of episode. But if the payoff is still talking down Deon with a poorly written speech delivered by an actor that's not up to the job, to an actor not up to the job, it was still going to suck.

They didn't have to break the device after one loop. During "the montage" they could have had a fun sequence of Chester yelling pop culture stuff at Cisco and him getting increasingly irate at their poor quality. "Powerpuff Girls? Really? That's what you wake me up with?"

I know that there's a rotating set of writers for episodes, but this whole dilemma about it being immoral to take away the Forces from people is like an exact parallel to the taking away meta powers from the previous episode (and previous seasons) and they didn't even reference it at all. We've established that Team Flash is extremely anti-taking away powers so many times already!

Fear tentacles. It's like someone wrote that Psych has to fight Fuerza to a standstill and they chose a superpower randomly from a hat. We are approaching hate-watch territory, which I never did even when Arrow was at its worst.

I feel like a bad episode of Batwoman still at least a few good scenes from Alice hamming it up. I genuinely don't think there was a single scene in this last episode that was good. Bad characterization, low stakes, retreading old character beats, cheesy dialog, hokey action. Bad all around.
