So...Joe is indestructible. He saved his own life and stopped his impending death from crashing into a concrete barrier at 120 miles per hour by jumping out of it. At 120 mph. Cool. Asphalt is apparently softer than concrete. Then our brilliant police captain refuses to enter witsec because by god, he won't be bullied. That's cool, baddies never go after family members anyway so they should totally be safe. But now Joe is angry. So angry he firmly puts down his badge on top of a picture of Joseph Carver and goes after the man himself in his home. He gets him to admit all his nefarious schemes, then decides to celebrate by immediately pulling out his phone and bragging that he recorded him admitting his nefarious scheme. Then he's shocked...SHOCKED that he somehow no longer has that recording to use because Carver had the gall to destroy it.
Don't forget, this is all after Joe has been shot. Which he seems to forget except when the script tells him to remember. It's fine, there's a ton of other things going on, like Ragdoll somehow gaining new powers and able to elongate himself to catch whatever prey he is after. Or Nash and his sudden inability to form complete sentences whenever Allegra is around. Or Cecile deciding to hide the baby where surely no one would find her...at another daughter's house. Iris's personality is pretty much exactly the same so at least there's no change there. There was a wonderful emotional moment where Joe took Cecile's place on a pressure bomb by doing the Macarena or whatever it is they did and luckily he was able to disarm the bomb by finding an off switch. Joe's wife being kidnapped and almost dying has finally made Joe realize that he needs to go into hiding. Without his wife. Who was just kidnapped. And placed on a bomb. And left there to die. That's a little self-absorbed, Joe.
I love this show. I can overlook the dumbest things, like Team Flash and Super Friends apparently destroying all evil threats with the power of their feelings. That Care Bear Stare they did in Crisis was a real nail-biter. I cannot abide by the fact that they made Joe an idiot. Who is even writing this stuff? Season 6 has been all over the place for me. I just want to forget it exists and move onto season 7 already.
