In previous reviews I've made it no secret that Iris is my least favorite Flash character. My favorites are Wells, Caitlin, Cisco, Ralph, and for the most part, Barry. Their chemistry and banter makes even the worst storylines bearable.
Now we have this episode, where 3 out of 5 are just somewhere wandering around the world and then the 4th is killed. They have two new characters who haven't really been established or had a chance to really mesh with Team Flash take their place. What should have been a major emotional moment just left me empty. I did cry when several key versions of Wells came out to say their goodbyes, but all I could think of was that Cisco, the man closest to most all versions of Wells was just somewhere else...retrieving the part that would have made Wells' sacrifice needless. That's not fair to anyone.
But THANK GOD WE STILL HAVE IRIS EVERY EPISODE. I won't stop watching, I still do enjoy it for the most part, plus I don't quit something I've invested 6 seasons in already. I just wish they would get back to the original Team Flash. What's even worse is that this particular plot with the Mirrorverse is actually quite interesting, I just think that the writers are making choices that are ruining it. I truly hope they bring back Tom Cavanaugh in some form or fashion, he is a tremendous actor who has never failed to entertain me.
But really, what do I know? I should just learn to love Iris since she gets more screen time than anyone else. Do better, The Flash.
