8x02 Armageddon (2)

I don't know what to say. Is it normal that Barry is so ... i dunno, dumb?

What are the writers doing? So Barry hears that he is about to go gaga and the first two things he does is chasing a meta who can drive him crazy in a instant, instead of leave that task to someone who hasn't been accused for destroying the earth yet. Great idea!

And then that thing with Joe :

When you hear something you can't believe, wouldn't you ask at least once "how" could that happen and "why"?

And btw: Am I the only one who wonders why everyone immediately reacts insulted to Barry when he talks about something he obviously doesn't know about ?

Things might make sense if Barry is still trapped by Xotar and it was all just an illusion from the point they first met. But then what would the point of this episode have been?

Wow, an actually good epsisode for once. I'm impressed.

Thing about Joe though
Barry clearly doesn't remember that Joe died, and his friends, who have been told he's going mad already, instantly get insulted by the notion that this man who they already think is losing his mind is having trouble remembering things or being able to accept them as having happened?
Also, why does he never even once ask the question "why can't I remember that Joe died?" instead he just goes on about how how he absolutely isn't.

Although I like what they're doing in regards to that, the reactions of the other characters, and Barrys dialogue in that one circumstance is badly written.

We've seen before stories of people turning on the hero but I like this trope. So far, it's a good start.

I can't.

"This meta messed with my mind one time and made me destroy my house... I must go after her again without any kind of psychic protection. That's a great idea!"

Seroiusly, man. How many times?

I think the worst part about all this... Is the fact that I, TOO, CANNOT REMEMBER THAT JOE DIED This is no joke, I really don't remember. It made watching this episode a little trippy.

The episode was generally good.
But, I don't like the idea where Metas who have so much power use their power to perform petty thefts. it's just foolish and ridiculous. Why don't they have a brain?

That's stupid writing. They had to fight psychic metas all the time and developed mental protections against it (these head-bands). So why the hell does Barry try to fight a PSYCHIC meta WITHOUT this protection? TWICE? Seriously?

it's been a while since I had chills and goosebumps from this show

but this episode was so amazing that I didn't want it to end

the plot twist with Joe was truly shocking and game me chills the way it was shot

very excited to the next episode

I'm not loving this... at all. I feel bad for saying it because The Flash has been one of my favorite shows for a long time but this episode was just so very weak. I can't stand these types of storylines in whatever show really. I never like it when the hero of the story is questioned by the rest.

While I guessed the twist last week from a small reference, I still think it was well done and is setting up a really interesting story. I was not much of a fan of last season, but this one's definitely drawing me in better. I also think the crossover stuff they're doing feels a bit better handled than some of the previous cameo stuff they've done.

Joes dead?!!! Excuse me?!! When did this happen and why are we overlooking it?!!

Why did I know he's gonna go to the hanger?
