Spoiler Alert!
Hello everybody!
Ugh, it pains me so much to say this but this week's episode of The Flash was pretty bad!
The actually had something pretty interesting going on last episode, with the speed-force being bad but... I don't wanna be labeled a hater but... They had to integrate Iris in this story-line and just made everything suck!
The episode actually began right where the last episode ended - with "Nora" killing Fuerza. To this "Nora" let's Barry and Iris know that all the other forces were created because the brought her back (the speed-force) and, therefore, they are the reason why all of this is happening. Because of that she has no other way than kill this forces - which will also kill the people where these forces "entered".
Of course Barry is not okay with killing other people, which just makes the speed-force mad - and to that she just says she will do it by herself.
This was a good set up! And then, Barry actually had a good plan (that could ultimately end badly, but they would figure out that later). So Barry's plan was to go back in time and prevent the forces from getting inside these people and just basically prevent these forces from being born. However, Iris is not okay with this plan and, for the first time, Barry goes with his plan without Iris approval. That got me excited because we would see Barry be The Flash and just do his thing but, as I mentioned before, they had to have Iris involved in all of this and, not only created her own story-line with her, Alegra and Kamila go look for Nora but then, at the very end, after Cisco not agreeing with Barry's plan either, Barry comes to the conclusion that Iris was right and, as he's about to "kill" these forces, he gives up on his plan.
That was the dumbest story-line I have ever seen and this was literally what you call a filler episode. Everything that happened in this episode didn't matter and was just a waste of an episode.
It's so clear that they want to involve Iris in the story but it doesn't work! I get that Barry loves her but damn! Let Barry be his own person! Ugh!
The only nice thing about this episode was that we got Tom Cavanagh back as a special guest, only for this episode, as I understood, and that made the episode bearable.
Then they also set up Cisco leaving the show so... That not only was pretty obvious but also is kind of sad that we are loosing so many of the main characters and... I guess that's it.
Basically it's like this episode never happened and Team Flash has to work on a new plan.
Next episode doesn't look much better, to be honest. From what I understood it's mainly about Fuerza (yes, they brought her back to life *eye-roll*) and her trying to control her powers - that's it. The speed-force is still the villain here so... Let's see where this goes.
Let me know what you thought of the episode and if you were as disappointed as I was and I'll see you in my next rant!
Love,
Daniela.
