    plot holes, contradictory

    1.where the two scepter came from? 2. if Ralph is so worriedabout his mates, friends y did he hide, took the decision not to go on field . where is the love, care & protectiveness when he is needed. what changed in this two ep?😂 why is the epiphany that this is his family 🤣🤣🤣

    Bad on multiple levels

    • Iris as team leader is a joke. She is the dumbest, least experienced and least competent member of the team. Get rid of her already.


    • Flash is able to run around the city numerous times in nanoseconds (in Flashtime), but he can't react once the Thinker got free?


    • Barry and his "don't kill mantra" are annoying. So Ralph had to die because od this. So did the other metas. Makes no sense whatsoever.


    • Marlize is an accomplished samurai all of a sudden and can move faster then gun fire?


    • Where the hell did the second Sonic Scepter come from?


    The reason this episode gets two stars and not one is because Ralph is gone now. Get rid of Iris too and maybe the show will get better again.

    Could have been interesting. Wasn't.

    A truly bad writing room continually sabotages what might be interesting episodes but that inevitably default to the usual, now tedious and sappy tropes about family.

    See what I mean about repetition?

    As for Barry's endless smugness, as if the butchers of the world, the mass murderers can only be halted through non-fatal means, it continues to be repulsive. The writers refuse to confront the character with the consequences of his self-aggrandizement, which seems to have already gotten numerous people killed.

    The series was only ever interesting when it challenged its characters on their cherished beliefs, as when Barry was confronted by Cisco after creating Flashpoint, which among other things resulted in Dante's death---but they couldn't sustain that level of inquiry and now endlessly default to superficial trope after superficial trope.

    Truly tiresome.

    Credit goes to Culpepper

    Joe did what Wally West couldn't do (earlier episode), but the director finally showed her direction using Dibney in a meaningful way. My ratings (based on what I marked on IMDb): Season 1: 200/23 = 8.69 Season 2: 193/23= 8.23; Season 3: 188/23= 8.17; and Season 4: 119/18= 6.61 (This episode = 8/10)

      [first lines]

      Ralph Dibny: Good old CCTA, bus number 405, where I was gifted with pretty much the best powers ever. If it wasn't for this old girl, I'd still have to leave the couch when I need to use the bathroom, you know, because I can...

      Barry Allen: Yes, I know.
