What a spectacularly dumb season and a terrible way to end what started as an excellent show.
This was a completely unsatisfying finale.
It felt rushed, the writing was terrible, and some characters didn't even get more than 1s of screentime, while nobody even mentioned them (looking at you, Jeremy).
I know that past 3 seasons were horrible, but I thought that in the end, this show can redeem itself. Oh, how I was wrong. This so-called finale is even worse than the last 3 seasons.
Literally one of the worst finales I've ever seen.
Thanks for ruining my once favorite show, Julie. I hope you never get to write anything else again, your incompetence has been evident for seasons now, but this episode is your masterpiece of messy writing.
This episode made me realize two things:
Who is going to be the Big Bad next season? The stakes don't really get any higher than the actual god of speed. How can they possibly top Savitar?
Barry is pretty slow for someone who calls himself "the fastest man alive", eh? He's not even in the top 10 if fucking Kid Flash has a better shot at saving Iris.
My stomach hurts from laughing. The Flash's had its ups and downs, but the one thing it consistently excels at is comedy. Cisco flirting with Gypsy, H.R.'s narration at the beginning of the episode, Joe and Iris' conversation at the precinct (poor Joe looked like he was about to have a stroke), Julian's complete lack of bedside manner, the list goes on. I love the humor on this show.
I'll never get over the way H.R. pronounces "Francisco". It's gold.
Cisco, my brave, selfless son. He kicked some serious ass in this eisode. I guess they're just beginning to really explore the extent of his powers.
Cisco and Gypsy were kind of cute. Once they got past the "I'm going to kill you" phase, that is.
I love that they jumped to Supergirl's Earth and fought in Cat's office at CatCo.
I want to see more of Iris the Badass Reporter. More often than not, she gets sidelined and doesn't do much except hang around S.T.A.R. Labs with no real purpose. Give her the storylines she deserves. Please. By the way, that scene where she faced the arms dealer at the warehouse got me thinking. She made a good point. If she's supposed to die 4 months from now, that means she's effectively immortal until then, right? I mean, what would happen if she went skydiving without a parachute? Or jumped into a pool full of hungry sharks? Or tried to learn to juggle chainsaws? Would she die, thus changing the future? I get dizzy trying to wrap my head around it.
