Yikes. This episode was M E D I O C R E.

Thank god they actually weren't going to have an entire month's worth of episodes where they needed the cure to evolve itself. That's totally something this show would do so nice to see they didn't. And I will say kudos to the writing team, your reasoning for Barry not being there made sense this episode, even though that was totally an excuse to focus on Nora.

"Nora, you need to stay here." Thank you Barry. Nora, you're a dumbass. Barry has a job to do, everyone agreed on it- he needs to take the metahuman cure plot device into the speed force. And you're there trying to tell him not to go? Because of a villain that you essentially caused by screwing up the timeline? Shut up and sit down. Everything happening is your fault. If you properly let your father train you, you would be confident being a hero without him there to fix your mistakes.

Well that was A LOT of cringeworthy dialogue and scenes involving Cisco and his dating. Not a fan at all. Dude was with Gypsy- how can he be this terrible at dating??

"Tonight I'm going to beat you, all of you." And this is why Cicada has become an uninspired, poorly written, kind of poorly acted villain. One dimensional, monotone, etc. While DeVoe fell apart after he started burning through bodies, at least he was never one dimensional.

Wait wait wait wait. I am legit laughing. Nora ducks when the dagger comes flying back and doesn't use her speed powers to save Caitlyn??? She just selfishly saves herself and not her partner??? She can move fast enough to push Caitlyn out of the way, does she not realize she is a speedster?? HAHAHA. Goddamn, you can't make this stuff up, what a "hero"!!

Nora's reverse speed power imagery was actually visually done pretty well. BUT why doesn't Nora tell the team exactly what she just experienced when she reversed time, of why she did it? Say something immediately. I can give you one deja vu and not saying anything, but after the first one, that's just sheer incompetence. When Barry reversed time after Oliver sacrificed himself to Vandal Savage, Barry told people what was going on. He didn't hide it. Nora is supposed to be intelligent- why does she keep coming off as a bumbling idiot who lacks common sense? If I was in her shoes, I wouldn't hesitate to share what I just saw. Nora and her lies... lying (especially like she does) is a major, major character flaw. Seriously, what a poorly, poorly written character. Open your mouth and say something. You and your lies continue to put all of Team Flash at risk.

Continued...

Cisco has vibed an alternate timeline before. He should have known better. Maybe the first time, sure. But after that, he should have known. He literally talks about Eobard killing him in a following scene. "Guess I should have known the same thing was happening now." Uhh, yeah!

THEY LET CICADA GET AWAY AGAIN!! Holy shit. He's down, injured, and what does everyone do? They just stand there watching him. No sense of urgency to put cuffs on him, to restrain him, etc. They just stand there. LMFAO

Finally, Barry doing some real parenting to Nora. At least Barry's speech was fairly good.

Ahh, Sherloque, the good detective he is. So much for getting sidetracked by that hot date of his last episode. One episode later he is back at figuring out the truth behind Nora. And finally, Eobard. REally don't trust him having any desire to help save Barry.


This episode is another great example of the importance of quality. Doesn't matter what you're doing in your episode, how cool you look, how great the visuals are, etc.- if the quality isn't strong, everything gets derailed. Quality first and foremost, always...

Next week's episode looks both good and bad. On the plus side, Gorilla Grodd and King Shark versus each other should be sweet to see, both of those characters are great in the Arrowverse. On the other hand, this may end up being an unnecessary filler episode. Once again, cautiously optimistic.

So far this week:

1. Arrow- pretty good
2. Black Lightning- good/alright
3. Flash- mediocre/okay

@MrNegative - this episode looks like filler so you can probably tune in for it and be totally fine. And smart move on your part btw...

@HeavyMetal4Life - I thought this was the best superhero show on tv for a while but then...ugh...it became unbearable

@MrNegative - season 1 was excellent; season 2 was pretty good. The last three seasons have largely been garbage, mediocrity at its finest.

@HeavyMetal4Life - I made it through season 2 but struggled through the end of it. Then S3 totally lost me.

You watch Arrow? I couldn’t really get into that show and only made it through the first 2 seasons but have heard it’s not too bad if you give it time.

@MrNegative - first half of season 2 was really good, but it started to fall apart in the last several episodes, especially after the reveal of Zoom's identity and the writers getting carried away with time remnants.

Arrow's the best show in the Arrowverse. I really like that show. Its had some low points but its so, so much better than the Flash.
