The Trial of The Flash

Some people really hate this one, while some really liked. I'm going to have to go somewhere in the middle.

This was a good episode, character-wise. We get to see Barry on trial and both Barry and Joe faced with moral choices on how to proceed.

The unintentional antagonist worked well as a threat, but not someone who'd grab too much attention away from the main plot.

The downside was that the entire trial suffered from Arrowverse logic in that nothing ocurred naturally and simply served as a forced way to get from point A to point B. The silliness of some points was annoying.

Overall I think this averaged out to a good but not great episode.

Best episode of season so far and Probably best acting of Grant Gustin after FAST ENOUGH. Its good to see that the series is finally on track. Hope they will continue this trend.

Autopsy? There would be evidence that the body didn't die of blood loss (knife stab).

Barry could explain more (w/out revealing Flash) that he was setup. How about phone records?

It was obvious that the writers didn't care much authenticity for that, but wanted Barry/Flash in jail.

BTW, I've only seen the next 2 episodes -- interesting -- less than usual stuff, good. Also, I only started watching about a month ago, after watching Supergirl a month prior.

Both are too PC & SJW related, especially with not killing enemies, which is absurd. Many lives could be saved & future danger averted by killing known murderers or other threats. Sue, there's due process, but... For one thing .. meta-humans.

What the hell people? The Trial of The Flash was a good episode this show sticks to the basics. I am a fan of the old show and I am a fan of The Flash I can say the old show did had The Flash on the court room too and so did this episode. I know Episode Run, Iris, Run got a lot of hate, I haven't seen the episode and I know Iris West is really annoying person time to time and the show is losing their fans. I hated her character in the first episode but than I just got used to it she is overprotective and kind.

The Trial of The Flash was an okay episode. I love how The Flash risked is freedom and everything to stop a meta human Neil Borman / Fallout (Ryan Alexander McDonald) from nearly releasing the radiation inside of him, trying to kill everyone in Central City and Cisco Ramon sent it all to Earth Fifteen. I love how Barry stopped time in the courtroom and stopped Iris West from reveling his secret. I love that Barry goes to jail as an innocent man like his dad. I love the ending we see Barry seeing his dad's cell Henry Allen I love that. In my opinion Season 4 is improvement over Season 3 less boring and dramatic like previous season was. I hope they don't screwing up. 9/10

This may have been the worst police investigation/trial depiction in the history of television. The plot holes are so wide a high school debate student could take them apart. No real forensics employed. No time of death to correspond with the stabbing of an already dead body. No wheelchair. No sign of a struggle. Blood on the handle of a knife Marlize/new Cliif could not have possessed, besides that fact that dead bodies don't bleed out with no heart pumping to make such a mess. Police showing up just as Barry discovers the body. Who called it in, and why would his supervisor get the call? There are other cops who don't have a conflict of interest. No breakdown of Barry's whereabouts to correspond with the time of death. No exam by the ME to determine if Barry's knife was the one used to stab Clifford post-mortem. No security tape from the entrance to Barry's condo complex. No investigation into who Marlize was kissing. And of course, a ONE DAY capital murder trial? Cecile's performance was ridiculous. You never allow a hostile witness to give a narrative response. When they try to make a speech, you cut them off. There's just so much suspension of disbelief a person can take. Barry stating, "All the evidence? points at me" is not enough. I'd file for appeal based on inadequate counsel then have a real investigation performed. He's supposed to be an experienced forensic analyst for goodness sake.
